That's partly why I asked earlier - I didn't know if there was a reason he'd left it so late. Didn't want to hamstring myself

I hope the modding tools are as robust as they claim. I want to make a Jagged Alliance mod for xcom 2. It'd be like normal but you could also hire mercs who have their own predefined skill trees and voice sets. Ivan Dolvich with double tap, 5 tiles from snake tits: "Sheet bag.

Finished that lander I was talking about earlier. Apparently, the outsiders+sectoid commander sitting on the open was not the actual leader pod. There was another one inside. They ate two AP nades on the first turn  They sent my scout and one of my assaults to a nice, 40 day vacation though.Still waiting for the other shoe (aka Base defense) to drop, and aliens are terrorizing auberdeen. I encountered my first momma lid. It didn't go exactly like this, but it was something close. I was lucky that the momma lid had sprinter but the babby lids did not so I had two turns to handle two different groups of lids.

Does anyone know how to make Enforcer run in higher resolutions? Even 4:3 at native lcd resolution is better than vaseline mode. (And yes... I'm playing Enforcer. I'm bored of UFO Defense and Enemy Within for the moment, and not *quite* masochistic enough to play TFTD.)

I loved the MEC punch, until my MEC ran up and punched a sectoid commander that sent him flying into a fork lift truck which then exploded, killing my highest ranked medic that was hunkering down behind the truck waiting for the MEC to come and save him

I... am in a bit of a pickle. I may have broken the base assault triggers because it's almost time for the Gollop chamber to be completed building which means I may be able to do the temple ship before the aliens assault the base.

Wow. Uh, I suggest just just missions and stuff until you get the Base Defence. You don't have to use to Gollop chamber as soon as it's built. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

All I can think of is that you might have modified the wrong file? Because the times you're getting sound like the default values.

I take it this won't take effect until the next time an interceptor is damaged?

That won't be pleasant. EDIT: also from Easy->Normal, dear Lord are there a lot of sectoid commanders.

Shumagorath posted:Holy poo poo. Minus the Sectopods that's roughly what I got doing the alien base ASAP on Classic and I hadn't even researched lasers. I'm pretty sure mechtoids and cyberdiscs are coded to appear in the base assault no matter how early you get it. You'll get more of them later on, but even if you do it early there are gonna be some dropping in. If Omni didn't get an ethereal in his base assault despite holding off for that long AND having done the Overseer UFO before it, I don't think ethereals can actually appear in it.

I want to say that in my first victorious EW game, where I held off the alien base assault long enough to finish most of the tech tree, I got an Ethereal each from the two tunnels at the base entrance during the defense. I'm not positive it was EW, but it was so long ago that I don't think I had gotten into Long War yet.
