I had to reset a mission because I brought along a medic specialist to counter Lids and I keep forgetting to equip the med kit, literally half his abilities based on. Lids are bullshit. I'm basically mind controlling a Zerker or something beefy next time to be my bait.

I've actually never allowed a berserker to have an action. andromodons look scare but have a hilariously inaccurate punch, like 40% to hit. archons are shits but they're just stronger scarier stun lancers who have a delayed (and therefore useless) missile attack. mutons and gatekeerps and codexes now! They'll gently caress you up. psi witches too but once again, never let them have more than one turn.

Last mission: I killed the first and third avatar, but can't find the second who teleported after getting shot. Will he reappear or is this glitching?

Ferrinus posted:All the battle scanner, or scanning protocol, or leaving one of your guys in stealth, or whatever does is confirm for you what you already know: that moving into unexplored territory while fighting is bad, because it frees your enemies from their time prisons. It's good that the game contains (limited, resource-consuming) tools which mitigate the effects of its bad underlying rules, but those underlying rules are still bad. Look at this plebeian babby that is to scared to play on ironman.

How the gently caress does anything I've posted imply that I'm not playing on ironman, why didn't you read my first post in which I said I'd just beaten the game on commander ironman, and what does ironman difficulty have to do the lovely rules for pod activation?

My current game kinda makes me understand the people saying the Avatar project is bullshit. I started in South Africa, my only connection was through Europe, and the two first facilities were in East Asia and South America, requiring at least 4 connections to reach from Africa. If I hadn't gotten a facility lead from a random event on the world map, I might very well have lost this.

With regard to the map and enemies, being able to read the (unrevealed) map is kind of a required skill at this point, especially with the mission timers. Since mission timers continue before cover loss, to strike the balance of getting moving done vs not losing your ambush opportunity, you need to be able to make reasonably educated guesses where units are going to be in the next hop forward. This isn't always easy, and it isn't always obvious to people that one, this is an important skill, and two, how you develop that skill. In that vein I can see why people complain about timers, actually. I don't think it would take more than a couple concealment losses against surprise patrols to make me feel like the game was bullshit. I still don't have problems with the timers since I hop forward just fine, but watching one of my friends play and get frustrated at this was pretty revealing to me.

I didn't get one until after building a psi lab, you're fine, you'll just probably need to cheese the timer a bit and have a facility ready to assault.

Well, he's currently missing like 3 80+ percent shots on a flashbanged Lancer so BeagleRNG is still the biggest obstacle.

Internet Kraken posted:Beagle modded Xcom and now is fighting a 5 stun lancer pod I installed an 8-man squad mod that made Legend too easy so then I installed the mod that doubles pod sizes. I restarted on Commander after I ran in to this, which was somehow one single pod.  8-man squad with double pod sizes and one difficulty lower than you're used to is the best thing that ever happened to this game, though. e: I'm also using the Better Enemy AI mod so gently caress that pod when I fought them

Beagle claims that dashing while in Concealment is what attracts pods towards you. I guess that explains why me and that other guy were having totally different experiences with respect to the AI 'cheating'.
