to the anon from last thread

Long war was specifically designed to not work on pirated copies

maybe there is a version out there that works but I would not know of it.

There's a special Russian version for that

They meant honing the psionic powers humanity just discovered. Subjugating humanity was the ultimate goal, and the "test" was to see if we were worth our salt.

Is there any hope for an expansion?

>>170655679

>>170655815
I probably should really, I tried to go damage like I did in Vanilla but even with plasma they weren't really worth it.

I'm not going to tell him about this doozy either

What did he change about proxy mines?

>>170657327
In LW1 launching proxy mines into the middle of a pod wouldn't activate them. If a pod was stationary you could repeatedly launch mines onto it and then when it activates it would deal massive damage and potentially wipe the pod.

Beaglerush abused this and it was changed so mines activate.

Robojumper made another thing

We didn't even reach to Laser tech so I highly doubt we are.

>>170662939
XCOM 2 is an alternative scenario where instead of starting with sectoids they go full rape face and some council faggot spills the beans on XCOM HQ. They capture you (the commander) and turns out Bradford sucks at his job.

>>170662939
We definitely were considering they kidnapped the commander to use his mind to command and control their legions, and they used our genetics to improve everything they could, from sectoids all the way up the the Ethereals themselves. Also, it's implied that the fact humanity lasted as long as they did against full fledged invasion was very impressive to them, even if we didn't quite last long enough to reach lasers.

OK I do remember the trailer having Mutons with plasma rifles doing a base assault in March so we may be not that bad.

>>170666863
Remember that most of the X2 autopsies for aliens that were also in X1 include a bit comparing the current one with Bradford's description of them from before XCOM fell, even for things like Sectopods. Imagine fighting sectopods with lower level troops and nothing but ballistic weapons.

Locked on or suppression for overwatch ranger?
Locked on activating on overwatch shots sounds really tempting with rapid reaction.

I felt like vanilla X2 suppression wasn't as reliable as LW1's, do ayys care more about being suppressed now? If they do then I'd grab suppression in a heartbeat. LW1 suppression was really good.

Yeah definitely makes sense. All the other MECs are probably gonna take the KSM for when we hit Elites and shit. Being able to one-shot mutons is incredibly valuable.

Argon is extremely toxic, anon.

4Chan isn't a private "forum" so I would imagine some devs from Fireaxis would.

I'm also sure they save all the Viper porn.

>>170719232

What if it's a really unstable isotope?

>>170719232
it's not toxic. it's used as gas for scuba divers

>>170719584
Unstable argon? Could work.

I did some searching on argon's toxicity, if any.

Found that breathing pure argon can cause it to pool in the lungs and displace the oxygen; though a person with strong lungs can exhale with effort the sluggish gas.

Found some other sources that argon can potentially work as an anesthetic.

>>170719823

>Although I was extremely hesitant to perform an autopsy on this creature before an extensive analysis of the fumes vented with regularity from its suit, my concerns were overruled by the rest of the senior staff due to our overbearing time constraints. It was with some relief that I discovered the most common element to be Argon, an otherwise harmless gas when handled properly. Although similar in size and physical structure to the Muton species, the "Andromedon" as it's come to be known does not appear to be of the same genetic design as the Muton. I stress design here because perhaps more so than all but the most extreme examples, the Andromedon was engineered to exist only within the confines of the environmental suit we see them wearing in the field. Destruction of this protective equipment results in a reaction similar to what we might see if a human astronaut were to remove their helmet in space - that is to say, a painful and unpleasant death within minutes.

It's clearly not pure argon. Organic compounds can be deadly too, does that mean carbon is deadly? Obviously not.

They definitely activate pods in my game. It's still arguably one of the better ways to do it because it reduces their scamper - so they're closer together and less likely to find heavy cover.

Why the fuck didn't they put MECs in X2?

I mean honestly. They were so fucking cool in EW

How are you suppose to protect MECs is Long Dong? Since they can't take cover and have to stand in the open; every mission I take MEC into has to take a 40+ day vacation because they take all of the aggro.

>>170735120
smoke grenades and heavy armor. Early on MECs are squishy, so you shouldn't be fielding MECs with the mindset that they will be tanking. Even later, you shouldn't have that mindset unless you have a dedicated guardian. Also priotize heat aliens if you aren't already. Remember that since they don't use cover, you can hide them behind even a tile of heavy cover to break los.

>>170735120
Breaking LOS

Kill enemies with HEAT ammo/warheads.

>>170735120
Beags did it right; he made them artillery trucks.

>>170735642
I hope you are not forgetting that he had artillery trucks and B14 fuck damage Guardians.

Sure, but even the artillery trucks were good.

Admittedly, I only recently started my first long war playthrough, set on I/I to start learning the tactical layer.

Yup. Personally i like the flavor of having artillery. It makes the game feel more combined-arms-y.

What in-game month/year does a Long War 1 game last typically? Is it possible to keep a game going indefinitely or does alien strength keep increasing until you can't possibly win?

>>170739278
You can get the game out to 2-3 years pretty easily. Techincally you can go forever, but the problem is that the Alien Air game strength scales infinitely, so yes, eventually you would not be able to win if you didn't have the Temple Ship Assault ready to go.

>>170739278
You'll get bored way before the passive strength gain overwhelms you. It's hundreds of missions. Even if you don't get bored, you'll eventually max out your gear and research and be able to end it at any point.

For the march landed large, how do you approach the ship itself? Suppose you've camped a hundred turns on the outside and killed 2-3 pods, where do you enter from and where do you try to force the fights to happen?

>>170692228
So any one know how to use the console to give yourself money?

>>170740052
You listen for the outsiders and then go anywhere except where they were. Keep your squad's rockets and infantry ready as much as possible. Shotgun infantry can be godly on march LLs.

>>170740052
You enter wherever you think the outsiders are not.

>>170740052
For a more autistic analysis, hug the side of the ship and slowly creep your squad up to a ramp

If the outsiders are in the pilot room, block a bunch of the doors with your squad (at least the side doors) to keep them from doing anything super fucking annoying like running out the side of the room. Whatever you can do to keep them bottled up.

Doesn't really fit the guerilla theme anon, every bullet is precious. In fact, this has given me a great idea, what if every bullet you shot cost supplies?

I'm sending this idea to Pavonis asap.

How much experience do soldiers get when doing no-kill stealth solo missions, you seem knowledgeable.

>>170748093

>>170759591
Mission xp in LW2 is buffed to account for stealthing missions, or only killing some ayys. Kill xp has been nerfed.
A 1-3 man operation all get the same amount of mission xp. Anything higher, and the mission reward xp starts getting split into smaller chunks for each soldiers, so 4 or more.
Leveling soldiers without killing is 100% viable.

>>170759591
Majority of experience for soldiers just comes from completing missions. Killing ayys gives you far less experience than vanilla

>>170759812
>>170759882
>you learn combat tactics by actually not taking part in combat

really makes those neurons fire

>>170760357
It's actually good design since it lets non combat classes level up at the same rate as the front line ones. The problem comes from the emphasis on avoiding combat, which could be rectified by removing some of the ridiculous disincentives. Like no-corpse missions.

>>170759587
>Doesn't really fit the guerilla theme
>now get working on liberating an entire fucking country from advent control
i really dont understand

>>170760621
don't you mean it's actually magnificent design?

>>170760621
I keep on saying it, but dramatically reducing the ratio of timed evac missions compared to other missions would do wonders for LW2.
Obviously more stuff could be changed for an improvement, but this is a pretty simple change to implement.

>>170760849
I know I only really started to enjoy LW2 after I could comfortably start ignoring Guerilla Ops
