No one's died on me this second campaign, though I did reload to mission start during a couple missions because of bugs. My first campaign though, hoo boy. Also Shen's Last Gift came close to loving me over for good but I was wrong, the SPARK ended up coming through later. I don't know when I'm going to get the cash to upgrade it and buy a second though. The sewer levels are cool but LOS is somehow even more hosed and broken down there, and the spawns are real messed up.

Also just tested it, if you add ballowbonds=true in the SPARK ini you can totally bond them. Haven't tested to be sure all the bond powers work, but I generated a sick custom portrait of Julian and my Reaper

Its fun being told you won't trigger an enemy pod that you can see all the sight lines for and then it triggers them. I just reload the turn if that's the case, argument being that I wouldn't have triggered them if the game worked properly.

beaglerush is really good at realizing when a situation is unwinnable and bailing. which is something i need to learn. the first mission of yesterdays stream, he hosed up a hack and got a reinforcment that basically super hosed his mission, but he was able to hide his reaper and complete the objective before running.

It's weird how few faceless there are now. I'm a few months in and I've seen two. I guess it's just to hard counter mimic beacons?

Even in vanilla, you still got the important stuff for completing the objective, even if you bail without killing everything. You just don't get the bonus rewards. It's really really badly presented to you; they should have framed it as main objective: destroy thing, bonus objective: kill things.

Dongattack posted:Any tips for the bossfight with the assassin? Struggling real bad. Loving/hating how they managed to make such a good atagonist! People are finding it difficult? My fight with her was mostly just running two sparks up to her and using overdrive to shoot her about four times for 10 damage because she had close range vulnerability. Focused on the other thing the next round and took it out, had to take out a couple of mutons, too, which wasn't too bad. She came back at 50% health and went down easy after that, though. Vengarr posted:Is it physically possible to do the Chosen Stronghold Assault without plasma on Commander? The Assassin isn't even hard, it's the endlessly spawning Mutons/Berserkers that make poo poo impossible. Closest I got, the Sarcophagus bugged out and wouldn't take any damage. Then two Berserkers teleported in to join the Mutons and her own summoned Troopers Did that with magnetic weapons? DMW45 fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Sep 2, 2017 |

Any required mods for WotC? RealityMachina usually puts out some good bugfix mods, but right now all I'm running with is Capnbub's WotC accessory pack and the fix for Brutal so it doesn't lower max will. Is the Skirmisher rebalance decent/good necessary, or just the bugfix for Battlelord?

Oh, guess it's just luck I haven't seen them down there then. I'll have to keep an eye out! Also I thought my soldiers seemed a little wimpier and it occurs to me it's because I don't have Vulture to loot everything anymore. I know it's an order now though.

God drat it's taking me forever to get someone to major. Just wanna kill that bitch loving assassin. She's a bitch, took me a few hosed up encounters to figure her out. Rolling duo reaper now.

 Stupid Archons getting their corpses stuck in the ventilation system. Now it's gonna get rank and stink up the Hunter's entire base. Also, Hunter was the hardest of the 3 boss fights, if only because he had a habit of summing complete meat-walls when his Monolith was vulnerable. When you're on a time limit to chew down 60 HP, the last thing you want to see is a Heavy Mech and Andromedon pop in, followed by a Chryssalid and Elite Specter. On the plus side I got to watch my Templar slap his scrawny rear end about and kill him three times (weak to templars and close-ranged attacks).

Jabor posted:In vanilla you can get a shop by clicking the icon on the left side of the HQ location (opposite the one you click on to spend time). This lets you change the bonus you get for scanning at your HQ, and also buy soldiers/scientists/engineers in exchange for supplies. Ah no wonder I can't see it. Well poo poo Im just gonna have to get lucky.

Out of curiosity, when soldiers can be captured on covert ops, does that include scientists you can send along? e: There are not enough supplies in the game to max everything now without slogging through, I guess I need to pick what I want now RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Sep 2, 2017 |

I'm on a 'destroy the pisonic transmitter' mission and I can see every single enemy on the map for some reason. Even the ones behind walls, far away, out of vision range. I don't have the reaper and it was like this from the start of the mission. Is it a sitrep condition I missed?

/\/\/\/\ Every now and then I get a bug where I can spot units way across the map. It's usually only for a turn or two. I think sometimes positions get hosed up. I know sometimes one member of a lost horde will be visually all the way on the other side of the map, but you can still target and hit it like it was as close as the others (through buildings in total blackness). Remote starting the gas pump the advent field commander you're supposed to assassinate is a great feeling. RBA Starblade posted:It's weird how few faceless there are now. I'm a few months in and I've seen two. I guess it's just to hard counter mimic beacons?  I had sitrep 'beasts'. where the supply mission was nothing but Faceless stomping around. I've got four loving mimic beacons.
