How do you get the alt mod manager to actually load the mods? It just starts up in vanilla.

Yeah, Hunter is fantastic. I like the Warlock's bombastic pantomime villain act as well though. The only dud is the Assassin, but at least you can farm her for free ability points.

To be fair, new classes are equally useful. But templars become doomslayer-tier if they get bladestorm, outshining every other hero class.

>>187979880
>outshining every other hero class.
Nah. Only class they outshine is skirmishers. Nothing replaces the Reaper.

>>187979796
>Assassin makes up for it by tending to fuck you the hardest though

She's kind of a joke, I've found. The Hunter at least forces you to move with Tracking Shot, which can occasionally be an annoyance as you try to reach him, and the Warlock's mind control spam can be an absolute nightmare if you aren't prepared for him. The Assassin tends to run in, crit one of your soldiers, then die the next turn.

>>187979880
I haven't managed to get my templar to the higher levels yet.
As for the reapers, I got TWO recruitment missions in a row and found out how to make surgical missions: tailgate until two or three pods get together, claymore, repeat.

>>187979816
If I had to guess I'd assume it involves understanding her AI and using a reaper/scanners, or a combination of the 3
i.e. she will always run out of LoS after stunning someone so if you go to a congested area with a high density of walls you can essentially make her play herself by running nearby into the fog
That or fall back immediately to a place you can reccy because she comin fo yo booty and the farther you run through your own ground the more familiar ground you have to work with as opposed to getting fucked by unactivated pods

Battle Scanners and Scanning Protocol to flush her out, then run up to point blank range and apply Shotgun to face. Drop a grenade or two on her head first to get rid of her armour if needed. Obviously their strengths and advantages can create hiccups but she's been something of a joke thus far.

>>187980216

So it turns out that Neural Feedback triggers against Psionic AoE's as well as abilities like Mind Control which affect a specific target. If a Codex drops a Psionic Bomb on a group of soldiers it's almost guaranteed to kill itself, and since the damage is simultaneous it doesn't get to clone either.

Is it me or does Skirmisher feel really weak? I mean Interrupt and Battle Lord is a one per mission use and you usually only activate 1 pod and kill 90% of it for it to be ever effective. Also Reflex disappears even if you don't use the extra AP at the end of your turn so if the last guy in a pod shoots at you, it's basically a waste.

>>187984383
Government shitheads surrendered to the ayys, that's the reason the commander got captured, because they cut the funding. Even then he did an outstanding job of btfoing ayys until the base got overrun. That's why Elders are so interested in him.

Why is the Middle always the best part of any Start game like this?

The beginning is carting around a bunch of woefully incompetent potato throwing savants, for whom 89% means 50-50. Once you are out of potatoes it's just suffering the will of the RNG. You are so under powered, that timers basically make all of your decisions for you.

The middle is fun and dynamic.

The end is usually just tea bagging the fuck out of the ays.

So much fun that I've decided once I'm done I'd like to go and play the older games like ISIS: Enemy Unknown and I-SIS and maybe ISISnauts too if I have time.

>>187986523
I was a bit bummed out that E2345 decided we weren't worth an immediate release but at least Begul is betatesting his mod for him and things are actually getting fixed.

>>187984176
I think it feels like it peaks early compared to Templar (Gets great when trained up) and Reaper (Good from the gate and steadily improves whether killing sghit itself or just Squadsight Spotting for a Sharpshooter.).

The additional moves are good (Especially early on when it is the only one with a Grapple), but late game you have shit like Death From Above, Reaper and Run&Gun+Implacable that give non-hero units almost as much mobility and greater damage potential at lower risk while being able to use "better" armors.

I wouldn't call it trash though, but it does fall off in usefulness comparatively to the other two.

>>187983604
Sharpshooter, Lets you do a free reposition to catch up to the group/get to extraction point if you been hanging back from a high point at the Mission Start, alternatively, whoever your Reaper is Bonded with so you can have your Reaper solo infiltrate and use Advanced Teamwork work to GTFO to a extraction point after you are forced to break Shadow and then jump to the extraction point with the Teamwork mule.

Like most task forces, you're only expected to show up and level a city block or two and since the law doesn't apply to you, you're given free reign on how you do it. Collateral damage doesn't matter, expending as much money humanly possible for the same effect as minimum spending to show you need more is imperative.

Willy "Boombarian" from Russia, reliable bastard that he was made it all the way to the end. He took a hit from last last Avatar and had one more turn of bleedout when our still-green "PizzaBoy" from Japan was able to pop the Avatar with a shot gun.

Maybe the only person she felt like "I've seen so many comrades die in these street, I don't get attached. Willy, I can count on Willy though."
