As I complete (check off) the goals in the upper left corner it often comes down to Extract the team. Does that I mean I have one of the team toss a flare for extraction or is that an evacuation that carries some type of penalty? I have tried waiting for an extraction a few times and have been hamme...

I received a pop-up message box (with a yellow border) stating that the Rebels need my help protecting a data tap. We successfully defended the equipment. The downside is that it was in western Europe with a Advent strength of 9. Europe is where I built my first radio towers, I do not know if that h...

Out of curiosity, what difficulty are you playing and what's the in-game date?

Commander-8/30/2035

I went up to the Command Deck and went into Haven management. I switched almost everyone to Intel. jobs. I switched my research back to Coil Guns and am curiously awaiting the information I need on the aliens progression of their Avatar project. The previous mistake I made with research is that I th...

Alien data caches will give you Intel. This can be used to boost infiltration at short infiltration timed liberation missions. You are still not understanding the game mechanics. Please go to the Commanders Quarters on the Avenger, and read all the XCOM Archives about the game! You have to put Rebe...

Home from a long day and I logged in and cancelled "Coil Gun" research when I found out I had in ship's stores 9 alien data caches. One of which is being researched right now. Thanks for the helpful posts you guys. I will come back to the thread and let you know how things progress from he...

That is the rub, I have no idea what the Avatar project progress is. I also believe that I haven't liberated a region yet. I have all 16 of the zones liberated and radio towers in several of them and a couple of continent bonuses from the the built radio towers but no liberated regions. I am glad to...

I have a good game going, a few squads on the way to being properly trained. A good facilities build going on the ship, the Shadow Chamber under construction. I have seven engineers and eight scientists and I am handling my missions pretty well. I get an "acceptable" outcome now and then a...

Yes, that's my web site for the novels. I should be clear they aren't X-Com/alien invasion stories. Terra Invicta will be its own setting, not the Human Reach setting. Thank you for giving them a look! Yes, I am aware that the setting is not XCOM but I enjoy many different Sci-Fi settings in litera...

The avatar that represents me personally in-game carries this axe. I try to remember to use the throw attack in every battle as the free attack action is a pretty hefty bonus which I strive to use at an opportune time.

Thanks for your interest. I'm still going to write it ... trick is finding time. It's plotted out and I've put a few words down, but this video game thing is taking up a lot of my time these days. It'll happen, just not in very near future. A novel about XCOM sounds like something that I would like...

I used to look forward to getting the "wet work" perk. This kind of sucks.

"That's great, just fecking great! Now what the feck are we supposed to do? We're in some real pretty sheet now man! That's it man, game over man! Game over."

I am also really enjoying LW 2. The depth of the mod is already amazing me and I have so far just scratched the surface! Excellent work again, LW & LW 2. A well deserved thank you to the Pavonis team!

Good post Nep!

I found the info. I was looking for the other day and thought posting it here may do someone a bit of good in the future if this thread turns up in a "search". ------ o "Enemy bodies are only collected as loot if XCOM does not \"evac\" from the mission or have to leave the b...

Oh, I see. Well, when I logged back into the game my alien biology research had just been completed. A few of the autopsies were lit up so I checked my inventory which contained two Advent officer corpses, 4 Advent soldier corpses and a Sectoid. I do not recall seeing them show up on a loot list aft...

The Long War mod is legendary!

I plan on reinstalling XCOM in the future just to play the Long War mod again.

I am not getting any corpses for loot even when being careful with explosives. I even finished a mission without using any explosives and it was no joy. I read about this happening to others somewhere but I can't seem to locate the information at the moment. Any help would be appreciated. .....edit ...

This problem "is not a bug" it was a mod conflict with "Grimy's hot keys" mod. After I posted this thread I found the correct place and instructions for the proper protocol for reporting bugs here on the forum which I will use (if needed) in the future.

I just found the "bug report" section for LW2. I will use it in the future.

I set my camera to rotate with "mouse thumb button" and rotate the opposite direction with "mouse thumb button 2" and the game resets the keys back to "Q" and "E" every time I restart. The same reset also happens when I set "quicksave" to F9 and &quo...

I have been working my way thru xwynns LOng War 2 play-through videos on YouTube and they are very good. Informative and entertaining. https://youtu.be/Mn78E_7ZJes?list=PLkr0 ... TccjbZP_9n

Nice work xwynns!

Thanks John.

I signed up for the Site's mailing list this morning when I found out LW 2 had been released and I have not received a conformation e-mail as of yet. It's been a couple of hours. I also PM'd about it here on the Forum but I think I may have had an inadvertent click while trying to send the PM as it ...
