I did a bee line towards modular weapons and then magnetic weapons just like i'd do with lazers in Xcom1 and tried to focus on $$$ as well as engineers (they were so much more important than scientists in Xcom1), now I figured out how to assault my 1st black site in china (I started in Syberia). I'm just wondering how hard I've fucked myself over on the world map by doing missions and not expanding my contact network. | ||

Make my GPU cry for no reason, reducing settings doesnt help either, maybe they have some crazy polygon count on some objects or something. damn it, heavy supression or demolition, hardest choice yet for me | ||

All three of my other guys miss and he ends up marking and comboing to kill. Then one of my other guys panics and shoots another guy. oh yeah and I decided to play on easy difficulty ^_^ try taking shots that have higher chances, i often have 90 or even 100% hits during a mission since i only take low shots(around 70 and down) if im either desperate or dont have anything to do. flanking, removing cover with grenades win the first missions. | ||

You can't get better overwatch ambushes than right outside the eye range. | ||

PlusOne is the Chance to do an extra dmg. So 50 = 50% chance for +1 dmg If you set it to 50, your dmg should change from 3-5 to 3-6 in screen. | ||

I dont know what im doing, i can either make contact or gather intel and there are dark events in preperation that i dont see, do i need intel to see them? Make contact or other missions, gathering intel at HQ is a last ditch resort if you dont have anything else to do (most of the time). Seeing dark events in preparation is just that - you get a heads up that in X weeks thre will be dark events and when they come up, you can choose which one to do a mission against. So you can use that information to know what problems you will face in a few weeks and prepare. | ||

Screw Cortexes (or w/e the plural of Cortex is). If you don't manage to kill them on their turn through overwatch traps or with high-damage shots, they will cause lots of nuisance for you. And that's before their ability to AoE disable weapons into AoE attack. Luckily though Run'n'Gun is a good counter to this (It doesn't say so in game, but it behave like "Get 3 actions this turn, but spend at most 2 on moves") Grenadiers are awesome in the early game. I cannot stress how often they have saved my life. | ||

Otherwise pretty nice game so far, despite the timed missions complaint which I'm afraid to see soon enough. Had to save scum twice already, while accepting 2 soldier deaths for it | ||

on my first save (just restarted) my starting location and the advent blacksite facilities were literally on opposite sides of the world, and if u don't take it out in a timely fashion the advent clock just goes up insanely fast and u get a lot of bonuses the more regions u establish contact with | ||

I thought I had time but the missions disappeared in a day or two. Also, it seems like that ingame ufopaedia is really terrible. It doesn't list the stats on anything. On my second mission, I my troops didn't fire on overwatch after I broke concealment. I tried looking up what I did wrong but couldn't find it. | ||
