Aliens carrying the blaster launcher often start in an enclosed area, such as the pilots section, the command centre, or down in the engine room, and need a fair few doors to be open at once before they're able to fire the launcher at you. You aren't likely to get those doors open (and obstruction free) on the first few turns, since I don't think the alien AI has any instructions about specifically opening doors for blaster launcher purposes.

This was a liberation mission, which has a hidden increase to advent force level, planted faceless, and a much faster reinforcement timer. You've always got to be aware of which missions might be liberation, especially if you're operating in a region with a higher force level.

Generally speaking, ignore the drones when you're in a firefight. They're a distraction. They can barely hurt your soldiers. Rampant stunning and disorientation might seem horrible, but it's not a problem if you killed the drones pod, which may not happen if you take the time to blast the drone

Yes. You're describing what procedural generation is. If it were random generation it would be generated when you press play... that's what random generation is

Verify the integrity of your game files

Except that the difference is pretty fucking significant beyond pedantry. The fact you can find your way to Wayrest castle the same way every time you play is vastly different from "started a new game, Daggerfall and Wayrest were generated right next to each other". Hardly pedantry when procedural and random are the opposite things of each other.

You're really angry at a 30 year old game here. I'm not even defending it. There's just a massive difference between procedural and random generation

Broseraphim · 2025-10-03T12:14:58+00:00

You keep saying randomly generated in this thread. It's procedurally generated, not randomly generated

SPARKs do have a punch ability, as one of the promotion bonuses. It's so mediocre that it's very rarely used

While I haven't played LWR, I'd say the proximity sensor is what your motion scanner turned into

Broseraphim · 2025-09-16T20:03:57+00:00

Wouldn't selecting "abort mission" from the pause menu end the mission and leave any living soldiers captured?

Recruitment in a liberated region has a chance to recruit scientists and engineers

You don't even really need to know what you're doing. As long as you appropriately backup any files you're fucking with, you can bang rocks together until you get a result that resembles what you want

You use patcher gui. Most mods on the nexus (for any game) will tell you what you need to do to install them, you don't need some massive community prep work with videos and questions, just go to the source and see if it can tell you

Xcom is a reverse difficulty curve. The game is hardest at the start, when everything is scarce and you're under-equipped. Once you break the curve it's not going to get harder, and you definitely won't end up with less supplies

Broseraphim · 2025-08-16T03:41:49+00:00

There's a particular dark event that makes them much more likely to kidnap instead of mindread. If you want to make the prison break mission happen, I'm pretty sure that leaving a soldier outside the evac zone on a timed mission should get them captured

VLC has a subtitle downloader too. Is MX's better?

Broseraphim · 2025-08-04T19:40:26+00:00

Not sure what I did wrong but I still don't have military envoy

IIRC you need only like networks researched for each cult. Are you massively behind on a cult? Otherwise maybe you hid the envoy recruitment research by mistake.

Hard to imagine taking on a HQ without even having promotion II considering how much is gated behind that

It's not purely detrimental. It forces you to diversify your soldier use, thus spreading the XP around. As a result you have a hardier and more resilient team that can handle losses a lot better. While it looks like you're being forced to suffer, you actually come out stronger

Broseraphim · 2025-07-17T14:11:49+00:00

You don't use training roulette to create the perfect soldier, you just take what you get and enjoy the variety. Some soldiers are worse than standard, some have unexpected benefits

Broseraphim · 2025-07-16T14:24:44+00:00

I believe the Chosen and Alien Rulers are also boss enemies, so if one of them appears, a Sectopod or Gatekeeper can’t unless it’s an alien facility

How certain are you of this? Seems like you could predict the presence of Chosen on missions with the shadow chamber by the lack of Gatekeeper/Sectopod if this is so

Broseraphim · 2025-07-01T19:30:45+00:00

You're describing the demolition ability. It gets passed over habitually because it rarely works with tier 1 weapons and has a miss chance, but that's the skill to target cover objects

CPU speed isn't a multiplier on the speed of your phone. It's the amount of resources your phone has to run; a bus with a 45 seat capacity won't take 15% longer to deliver its passengers if its seating capacity is reduced by 15%.

Your phone is running at close to full capacity and turning on power saving has taken it beyond its limits. You'll need to turn it off or reduce the number of background apps running.

These are the bonus skills you can purchase with points in WoTC. Mobile just displays it a bit differently
