Junpei posted:Wow. If you want to develop such ideas, start looking into table top games/RPGs. Turn the ideas into a game you play with your friends. Draw out maps, get rules systems to support your ideas, and see what works and what is broken. It will likely never be a published game, but if you have fun with it, who gives a poo poo? It will also give you some insight into systems, and how one change over here can break something over there, if you can wrap your mind about it. The current devs for XCom started, I believe, by making a table top game. you can see it with the grid system and the dice rolls to see if you hit or not, as well as the hp/damage system.

Hrm.. something along the lines of Ballistics>Gauss>Gravitic :Pure Damage tree v Laser>Plasma :Accuracy/Damage v Beam :Accuracy/Crit Base Ballistics 2-4 Gauss 4-6 dmg Laser 3-5 dmg +5 Acc Gravitic 6-8 dmg Plasma 5-7 dmg +5 Acc Beam 4-6 dmg +5 Acc +5 crit With going to t3 in any one branch locking you out of t3 in the other branches. Perhaps a plot devices that is used on researching that tier, and you only get 1 of them per in game year or some such. Lunethex posted:No snakes? Here ya go.

Sonic weapons I see as a sidegrade at one of the tech levels. Perhaps a weapon system used to make capturing a subject easier, one that adds debuffs to a target like the Long War weapon jamming gun. Beam, in my mind, was a fusion beam, not a light laser, I didnt state that well. Think tiny nuclear reaction contained in a field and directed as a beam.

Grenadier grenades do more damage, go farther, and have bigger AoE. They get a grenade only item slot and with the right perk/upgrades, can get extra grenades. Slot 1 item Slot 2 item or grenade Slot 3 grenade so up to 4 grenades if I am remembering correct

Beat the game. Killed the last special enemy in the final mission with a 1 damage improved stock miss from my medic specialist personal character  Dominate is the tits. Having aliens tank for you is just too good. Rarely used mimic beacons. I only built 1. Now its time to mod. Have some fan art

pedro0930 posted:Got a quick question about alien behavior that I am not certain about : Can alien attack if they patrol into your position? I am pretty sure they can't (earlier today I had an alien patrol patrolling into my group, they played the activation animation and run for cover but didn't fire). Just want to make sure so I know if I can count on that or not in the future. No, if they patrol into you when A) you are out of concealment, they do the run for cover as normal, or B) in concealment, and you have cover relative to them. you can have soldiers in red squares and if you wait they wont be revealed unless flanked. If they patrol into you and you are concealed and they flank you/you are out of cover, they will stop to take a shot. In EW second wave, there was an option Itchy Trigger Tentcle where they would either stop and shoot or run to cover.

So, thinking on Laboratories. They suck, you finish the tech tree waaay before any boost in research would be needed. Replace the increased research speed, strip it out entirely. Any scientists you put in there slow your research as well. In exchange, each one you put in there lowers your scan time by 12-24 hours per scan. The lab itself increases odds of scan targets popping up. Replace the 20% increased continent research bonus with boosted scan sites.

Has anyone looked into adding a third faction to the game by modding? Specifically, Resistance Fighters. Give them rookie stats, pistol or rifle, and have a pod of them in place patrolling in retaliation and other 'resistance fighters in the area' type missions. set them as friendly to Xcom, hostile to aliens, and in conceal missions can blow your cover

Speaking of random connections loving you, I got a North America start in Mexico. I get 2 resistance contact scanning events, enough to cover either Europe or South America with my expansion of my starting 3. Avatar Project facility in Chile. I move to expand through Mexico, when I find the shortest way to get there is through Europe, through Africa, and back to South America. Then my next facility pops in East Australia. where I have to move through most of Asia and Oceania.

Beat Commander, one of my rangers, Red, managed to kill every Avatar I faced  Started on Legendary, beat Gate Crasher with one injury. Beat the first Op to save my engineer, one injury, got an engineer from a scan. Saved the first scientist, one injury. Now I got my retaliation mission to do. Finding it not that hard so far.

Legend Run is going well. Other than a code black on turn two in a protect the beacon mission. A civie in fog of war saw my ranger moving up, alerted a muton, then the muton got his turn, grenaded 3 of my guys, another ranger panicked, he then ran around the corner, grenaded my survivors, removing their cover, killing one of them, dropping the other to bleed out. Then lancer knocked out my uninjured ranger to unconscious, and the muton finished off the panicking ranger with a melee, as he was my only guy left. End of turn 2 code black.

Had a retaliation mission on my Legendary run turn out Flawless with 10/13 civies saved. I seem to have found a bug where the AI would shut off on the aliens. I got a berzerker enraged, he punched and knocked out an advent stun lancer, leaving him at 1/8hp and unconscious. For the rest of the mission, the aliens did nothing other than stand there and die as I shot them, the unconscious soldier making "I see them!" type barks, but no other actions from the AI.

If you grab that container, you have all the time in the world for map clean up. Its only the 12 round missions that are get out or fail. 8 round missions are get to the doohicky, click the glowy, then kill all or extract at your discretion.

Been playing with a few mods, honorman. IESS+ and 8 man squads. Lost 5 soldiers so far, lost a mission. My last retaliation mission had 26 aliens on it. 17 were chrysalids

Between my mix of More Mission types and IESS+, my total killed troopers by month 2 was over 100. multiple missions where every round im facing 5 more Advent as they just pour in the troops. 42/42 killed in my preset get your first engineer mission. I had thought I was overdoing it toward easy my way when adding in the Loot Mod, but having one wrong move clowncar in 20 troopers at once tells me I didn't.

Any advice on class overhauls? I started fresh as far as mods go, using A Better Advent as a base, a bunch of outfits. Started with Paragon Class Rebalance, but what is changed feels like change for the sake of change. How do the LW classes play, and what would be a good Spark rework to use?

Played with the LW 2 perk classes some. They feel like familiar, evolved versions of LW 1 classes. Running with starting squad of 6. getting back into the hang of XCom. I bought Shen's gift, got distracted with college, and now im coming back having never owned a single Spark, but loved LW 1's mecs, only to read about how sparks seem to be lacking.

Long War 2 Perk Pack talk. When the gently caress would I ever use the Ranger's Commisar ability? Yes. I want to execute my solder for getting mind controlled. Mod that poo poo to lightning hands. Also I seem to be getting bugs were Gunners and Sharpshooters forget how to use pistols from time to time.

My issue with snipers is the ton of restrictions they have on their rifle. I mod em to use standard rifles. Less damage, but the utility goes up by so much.

Last night, I did the advent forge. Using A Better Advent 2, longwar perk pack classes, Grimy's loot mod, and some other things. Thanks to the loot mods, I got a plasma bolt caster that reloads itself each round with a two shot clip on my sharpshooter, and a battle rifle that grants squadsight on my infantry. First move of the map, I spot a Spotter Sectopod. Spotters are variants of standard units, always solo pods, that as soon as they see you, will summon in reinforcements as their scamper. My specialist managed to hack it, taking control of the sectopod. I used it to spot and scout for my two squadsight soldiers, sniping over half the map, got into a fight with the berzerker queen with my sectopod, and then picked a fight with a sectopod prime after that fight. During all this, my psi soldier and the rest of the squad hang back, watching the mayhem. Specialist to Psion: Can you mind control a sectopod? Cause I 'mind controlled' one! Edit: Exalt was the stand in for hunting down XCom in the Commander's mental simulation. A group that uses explosives, upgrades their gear, and working form a hidden base? yeah

Xenonauts chat. 0. Air war is paramount. Get a base in Israel, US, and China. learn to dogfight, condors can take any Light Scout/fighter in the sky. Foxtrots stay useful for anything larger. 1. Dont fight at night, your soldiers will get picked off. 2. If you fight at night, bring a tank/scout car. Its head lights will let you see farther. In fact, bring tanks all the time. Blow everything up and use it to scout. 3. Bring lots of smoke. They cant shoot what they cant see. Does not apply to sebilians. 4. Lead with a pair of riot shield soldiers. Use pistols, have them toss grenades and smoke. Have riflemen back them up 5. when aiming cannons/rockets aim for the tile behind the alien. the game will calculate "hit obstacle" and get you a hit on the alien. aiming at the alien will cause the rocket to go off course. 6. gently caress being honorable. Blow poo poo up. You can pack so many explosives its not funny. Breaching a UFO? pack that door with C4 and blow it, dont stand there and open it. Make capturing alien tech a nice bonus, not a priority. Tech will be captured. 7. Doors and corners are death. Reapers love them. Give buildings plenty of room. Or blow it up. C4 at each corner works

Im running with a huge mod list, LW2 perkpack, better advent 2, metal over flesh but sparks held their own, for sure. Julian "Tower" Shen and Liberty "Democracy" Prime. Worth it just for "EMBRACE DEMOCRACY OR BE ANNIHILATED!" I load them with as much armor as i can, using Mod Anything+Grimy;'s loot mod for more armor, defense. Mobile cover, i use them as tanks are used. mobile cover for your infantry, send them up the middle and face tank with 6/7 pips of armor plus shields. Give their guns high cycle chambers from grimy's loot mod, fixes accuracy issues. Add in serial from another weapon mod for hilarious things.

Ive got an overwatch specced Specialist with Guardian, Ready for anything, and covering fire. Her aim is about 125 when all is said and done. I rolled up on the Warlock just now, and he ended up showing up about 3 times. Each time, he didnt get off his platform. "Blah blah blah, anime, i have power, you are worms" Executed!!! "You dont know the true power..." Executed!!! "You are dooming yourselves, for the elder..." Executed!!!
