Maluco Marinero posted:Managed to get through all the Guerrilla Ops missions tonight. Not too concerned about the scaling of reinforcements as I'll go back to address that (it's in it's own map so I don't have to replicate it in every mission map), just making sure every mission behaves sensibly, awarding victory to missions where you bug out as long as you complete the strategic objective. I even turned the Protect the Device into a timed defense map, so you have to protect it for 8 turns to have a successful mission, and then you can evac. Super excited for this. Edit: So if Guerrilla War is the new Long War, what core mods go in the package? Ones that leap out at me are 'squad size upgrades' 'avatar project reworked' 'squad conceal/true conceal' 'no region disconnect' 'all maps all aliens' 'start your own missions' 'avatar based difficulty' 'improved ai' 'soldier fatigue' 'more starting soldiers' 'leader pack' 'unconventional warfare' and 'grimys loot mod' Loel fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Mar 26, 2016 |

ZearothK posted:What is the story mission that triggers the UFO hunting the Avenger? I've got a pretty decent A team in my current Commander/Ironman run, but not enough force depth to pull of an Avenger defense confidently, so I want to be ready for when that one hits. Black Site has a 25% chance of spawning a UFO, Forge has a 50% chance of spawning a UFO, and the Psi Gate has a 75% chance of spawning a UFO if I recall my browsing of the SDK correctly.

As long as you can handle the drop ins, you could rank people up every mission and theoretically have colonels before mag weapons.

I have to do this whenever I switch from playing the game to using the SDK for example since the .ini files can still be referencing about 220+ mods that the SDK can't detect. drat.

A lot of those make sense, however I'd like to try and bring in more interesting ways to leave behind the A team than just fatigue. This is a good chance to experiment with new mechanics, I'm far less restricted than the Long War guys ever were with regards to available assets and modding capacity, so I should try to be a little more creative in solving snowball issues in creative ways that contribute to the narrative and have a balance of risk and reward.

I'm sure you have your own plans, but I like the mental image this gave me. Imagine the cocky player, farming pods and another reinforcement flare lands. Comes in and out pops an ADVENT Spec-Ops Officer and her pair of ADVENT Spec-Ops Sheildbearers... who are so well equipped they soak the proxy mine with explosive damage reduction, dodge the overwatch trap, resist mine control and have some of the deadliest ammunition available to them that sows panic and fire.  There's other fun things you could do, bullshit super-stunlancer trios, airstrikes, firing proxy mines into the battlefield... It not something ADVENT would want to do regularly, but if they get to the point of "unacceptable losses", ADVENT are prepared to risk their public image to see you dead.

If you are past the point of "Bug out, they are coming, tHey arE cOMIng!" you deserve everything you get. But fine, lets not do the stun-lancer trios, lets just have my spec-ops suggestion land, laugh at any explosions/overwatch shots and open with a Faceoff that has specialized ammunition that causes panic and burning.  Real talk, its just a fun mental image I had. There is a point to it, having lethally deadly deterrents to gaming the system are fun, moreso if you find a way to inject them into the game normally as a "optional super-boss" or something to that effect. If I really wanted to be an asshat about this, I'd just recommend "ADVENT airbombs the entire combat engagement, you have X turns to leave before the airstrike arrives." as a thing, but thats kind of boring. E: Actually, on that note, Maluco Marinero, it would be nice if recovering captured xcom personal could either be a geoscape "goodie hut" (assuming its not) or a operation you can put the resistance onto while you fight the scarier stuff. Loosing agents to "win the day" is a neat idea, but getting them back is currently... kind of a pain in the arse really. Thats assuming "captured xcom personnel" is part of your vision. E2: VVVV "Fulton Recovery" could be a specialist skill, maybe replace aid protocol which can in turn be baked into the later skill of "and give someone an overwatch shot."?

It's not so much that they are bigger, more that they explode and don't leave corpses. Also, I obviously don't know what you've got planned for the Fulton harness, but making it a small item seems pretty punishing for the early game when you most need corpses for armor and research and you've only got one slot that absolutely needs to be used for grenades and flashbangs. Maybe a single use ability for each troop? Maluco Marinero posted:As for farming, and balance in general, I have no doubt that it'll be a lot of work, but also achievable.

The point is you should be and feel stretched beyond your means in battle, so it's important to make an intelligent decision regarding evacuation. I'm sure it's acheivable. I just wouldn't put it past a lot of players to be able use unlimited reinforcements to game the promotions system. I can already envision the beagle stream where he overwatch camps reinforcement drops for 150 turns. Making it too hard to farm but not so hard you can't achieve mission goals could be a tough balancing act. Or it could be as easy as implementing a per mission kill cap, I guess. At any rate, I look forward to seeing how it comes together!

For some reason I cannot see any of SynthOrange's images, just the text he posts which confuses me, and then everyone else reacts to something I can't see. Also if we're going to talk about skyranger mods there needs to be one that turns it into the Zardoz head, and it can spit out your soldiers in the cutscene, like it does guns in the movie. e: Either that or Saints Row style. Hell, import a bunch of SR4 clothing options while you're at it. And reskin ADVENT as Zinyak's forces (the architecture already looks halfway like the SR4 alien stuff)  e2: "Welcome back, Boss."  e3: Ahaha, Rangers would get big floppy dildo bats or that anal probe thing, Grenadiers could get the wub gun, the Psi equivalent would be hell powers.

Took a little time to get my thoughts in order as to what the first release of the mod would look like. I mean, I could release it now but then the differences wouldn't cover enough of the game to be worthy of play testing, you need at least nearly all the mission types to see how that would play out, and considering the strategy layer balance is one of the core concerns, that to me means supply recovery and the Fulton Harness need to be addressed now rather than later. https://github.com/MalucoMarinero/XCOM2GuerillaWarfare/milestones/0.1.0%20-%20Playtesting%20Alpha
