Hey all

Just wanted to leave this here as a resource. Hope it can help people out who want to look up what sorts of approaches I take to different missions, where I've been aiming to be at different stages of the game, etc.

This campaign took some heavy losses around April and May, but had a very smooth endgame. Best campaign of any game I've ever played in terms of providing constant evolving challenges for a full ~50 hours of playtime.

Perhaps you might want to add in the houserules of your playthrough for those who didn't watch your stream?

good call, added those to the top of the spreadsheet.

Dear JoiNrbs

Thanks a lot for very helpful information here and in reddit and a very interesting videos on twich.

I’ve looked through your excel as a benchmark and it seems that in March-April I managed to generate amount of missions close to you. But once I liberated one of 4 contacted regions (only 7 rebels due to 3-kill retal and 1 faceless) things start getting worse.

I’ve put all of rebels in other two regions (5-6) in recruit + sgt liasons and concentrated on one full intel region (11 rebels past rendezvous so - no faceless) + avenger. Now I have no more than 2 missions at the same time – so no exp for a quite a dip roster = A -team stuck at ssgt, B/C teams – at sgt.
To make it even worse – I’m about to finish a lib3 in that region and I want (and hopefully – will) capture that VIP for +1 contact = can get another full recruit (5 rebels) region. Vigilance there should've been incredibly high by now and so there is a dilemma – to liberate this region and switch the other 2 5/6 rebels to full intel + avenger in one in hope of luck with mission doable for 3-man stealth squads or keep it as a source of mission for my A/B team but for may be 2-3 weeks before strength hit 7-8+.

I’m currently thinking about liberation for a lot of vigilance + supplies + at least some actions for A team.

Strength is now 4 but there are a 2-day raid I will not engage (I can but decided not do 0% this campaign) and a light column I’ve already infiltrated at 67% and thus I will do it. So strength will stay at 4 for a week or two before another 2-3 days raid appears all of the sudden…

What would you suggest in this case?

Many thanks!

PS: Legend, May11, laser + predator, AWC+GTS, lab on power coil will be built in 7 days, 4 sci. + 3 eng., 2 pips in Avatar timer, 23% slowed timer, Status just dropped from severe to high, 46 legions on the map, Black Site is 3 regions away.

If you've already liberated one region and are about to unlock a network tower in another by May 11th, you're way ahead of the curve. If you're confident to take another HQ, I'd liberate a second region while building power and comms to expand, and beeline for coil weapons.

A second liberation will slow the Avatar project to a crawl (you'll eliminate 5 strength and add vigilance to the map).

The first HQ at str 6 (42 ayys) was doable with 9 mans + boost with lasers but no predators. Even flawless until I got that boss pod at my flank without any clues of there movements. Hope I could handle the second before it's too late for lasers.

My main concern is where should I find missions after that - the recruiting seems veeery slow on legend even with good liasons.
I'm also incredily unlucky with jails - got 5 of which 3 was with only 2 (!!!) soldiers or 1 rebel + 1 soldiers one with 2 rebel+1 soldier and the only last one was with 2 rebels+2 rookies. So of 5 flawless jails I've only got 5 or 6 rebels ((

just make sure that you're expanding fast enough to keep generating good missions through midgame. it sounds like you're in a good position.

That's really helpful to have the information presented this way, chronologically, with all the summary information as well as direct YouTube links. Very nice. Thank you. )

This is a very useful summary of your campaign. Thanks.

Really interesting information in the sheet, so I decided to create a similar one for my own (still ongoing) campaign (1.1->1.2 Campaign; No Grazing, Aiming Angles, AWC Perk Reveal):

I'll try to add additional information like Advent Strength, Ingame Date, Activity etc. over the next few days.
