Basic Chunnel posted:They're basically biomechanical propaganda muppets for ADVENT's fascist regime They're supposed to be improved floaters, but I think the design is weird and doesn't make sense either. Like, why does the noble and elegant face of a super high tech advanced fascist regime carry spears and look like they belong in the archway of a modern-era 1920s skyscraper? Also if they're the face of the regime why aren't they featured in a single propaganda broadcast? Maybe the aliens are just bad at this? That's actually a pretty decent explanation.

jneer posted:Overall I think the late-game enemies are pretty cool, just too many goddamn Archons. The Pinion ability is a nice mechanic, but pods should not be comprised of three or four Archons. Enemies that can't take cover should not be the majority in an X-Com mission. "we can't send floaters out looking like that, the civvies will [untranslatable]" "ah [untranslatable], you're right. what do humans like?" "according to galactipedia they have huge amounts of respect and veneration for these things called angels?" "*shrugs all four shoulders* it's worth a shot right?"

BlazetheInferno posted:If it's not to counter a Dark Event, the only consequences are not getting any experience or rewards out of it. Guerilla ops are the dark event ones. Council missions are the ones where the councilman greets you and I think they always have two rewards? There's still no penalty though, besides the councilman being sad.

Do you really want the Councilman to be disappointed at you with his voice? Do you really want that? That's what you're risking here

So you have to re-establish contact before you can have another crack at the facility? That's harsh but I guess it prevents the player just zerging.

I got Predator and a third beacon. It really is too good but sometimes the game throws such bullshit at you that you need some BS of your own, before Psi becomes your go-to source of OP bullshit.

Completed on Commander, started a new campaign on Legendary with 2 mods toggled - increased squad size (default is 6, upgrade to 8) and doubled enemy pod size. This is glorious in the best way. So many enemies (5 or 6 muton berserkers in 1 pod), so many explosions.

I hacked a Sectopod, and it slugged it out with another Sectopod and a squad of ADVENT troopers. It then annihilated a reinforcement drop, before I had to put it down. Did I need to do that? Probably, because it was hacked for like 3 turns and could've snapped back in the next. Give me a Memorial Wall where I can put dead hacked robots on. You guys are the real heroes, and XCOM will sing your praises forever  Also, turns out hacking the anime that spawns from ADVENT officers spawns ANOTHER anime

Is there any mod or .ini file I can change to increase the character limit in names, or at least nicknames? It's kind of annoying to always be short 1 or 2 characters for nicknames like "Guns & Roses" or "Crazy Diamond" or really any other 2-word nicknames.

Finally beat my first run. My specialist was effectively useless, basically did nothing. Dominated a Sectopod early, and a loving psi zombie killed a Codec which was cool. Although I did use up all 3 of my grenades, the grenadier was weaker than my dedicated shooting grenadier (but she was too injured from doing part 1). The 100% shot ability is way too good in the later stages of the game. My Ranger killed all 3 Avatars by just shooting him until it teleported right to my guy who was across the map. Game said I only did 38 missions, which is a lot less than I thought.

If you end a mission with an enemy mind controlled, their body does not show up on your loot list. Where does that body go? HOW DID YOU MISPLACE YOUR SECTOPOD SPECIALIST?

The max name lengths are defined as constants in the XComCharacterCustomization script. I could try increasing it with a mod. Would be nice if the limits were increased for everyone in an update, though.

Tae posted:Flash bangs make them poo poo or use their useless pinion attack. Pinions would be a cool mechanic if they acted as pod leaders and combined it with 2-3 Advent on overwatch at the end of the aliens' turn. Then you'd have to figure out how to move your guys while also avoiding overwatch. Pods made up entirely of Archons are boring as poo poo, though.

I've been burning and melting things with the flamethrower and acid grenades but someone just told me you don't get drops if you kill an alien with just those two types of attacks. Regular explosives is apparently okay. Am I not going to run short of Eleirum Cores if this is the case?
