Since in 1.3 stealth is no longer a good strategy, you have to use a full squad (e.g. 5-6 soldiers) per mission. That's fine but there are not enough troops to fight the war. I am in late June with 5 squads of 5-6 people and I cannot keep up. All my squads are deployed and I have 2 raids, 1 retalati...

It's RNG-based. You can improve your odds by: Staffing a solider with more solider ranks as your advisor Staffing a soldier with more officer ranks as your advisor Staffing a soldier with more psi-op ranks as your advisor The numbers are different for each rank in each category, and the relevant se...

I am in June. Got 4 regions. All with soldier advisers / 2 of them trained as leader.

I already lost like 300 worth of supply. The mission doesn't pop up.In my previous campaign I got it on the first month.

I play Classic if that makes any difference.

Anyone?

At least some idea where to start looking.

Thank you.

Where is mind control? Mindspin. My understanding is that Sectoids only have one psi attack, the degree to which it succeeds determines the effect. Mindspin rolls their psi stat vs the target's will score. A low margin of success disorients the target, a moderate margin panics, and a large margin m...

If you get Viper on GC then you have a Viper corpse on day 1. You could rush the autopsy and get Proving Grounds up.

The only issue is that starting on STR 3 can be quite painful.

Well, you can still adjust your missions to your needs. As pointed above, I did my second Supply raid at 20% Infiltration and the mission showed Moderate-Heavy presence. And I did get 2 Stun Lancers from that mission at the beginning of April (!). If you do some of the corpse retrieval missions at ...

I had 63% infiltration with using Intel Boost. I was nowhere near to 100%. This was a Supply Raid in May and best one yet, I skipped all previous Supply Raids and Troop Columns (which I only got two even with having two regions full on Intel for a long time). You said you tried doing it with an 8-m...

Corpse retrieval works "per mission" and not "per unit". So any mission where you can retrieve corpses does not have reinforcements. Otherwise you would be able to get hundreds of corpses by farming them. Hence why there are only a few mission types where you can get the corpses...

Hello commanders, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask. I am playing on a big resolution (5400 x 1920). Everything is fine - overall - except the squad selection part. My units are crumbled on 1/2 of the screen (or so). Also the soldier and equipment are not aligned (the soldiers are some...

Ok, let's see if I can get this right... On Legend and Commander difficulties, each enemy gets a 33% chance to get a single action point if the pod activates during the alien turn (20% on Veteran, 0% on Rookie). Once an enemy has received an action point, all subsequent checks for action points are...

Played XCOM 2 on release. Finished the impossible with basic weapons and gear only; then I switched to another games awaiting for XCOM 2 to become mature (as in LW2 to be released). Started playing today and I see left-'n-right that enemies are shooting when they are revealed. It's basically an extr...
