i want to make custom classes and change how characters skills progress, ie make them progress faster or slower.

where can i find allied uniforms and IDs besides the convoy stage? i need it to bust out fidel and travel to wenzberg. during one playthrough i found an ID in graff which was on one of the five guys you kill when you zone in, but this time there was none. also i found one female uniform for liz during the convoy mission but no male ones. i can't continue till i get some uniforms so any help would be much appreciated.

alright after taking out the rebels and the expedition i have a revised strategy, use grenades. once they fall run in and blast them before they get up. just be careful how you approach them, try not to be out in the open.

yeah i started to notice that its much easier to defend your territories(especially the southern ones you take from the rebels) once the environmental hostility has been reduced.

is it possible to import the s2 voices and make them available for s3 characters? i ask cause im tired of my guy sounding like an american even though he's russian.

yeah i got to keep oghie as well i just sent him to build geos and wiped the rebels out before he got back. this was during my second game, i ended the first cause too many people died. it was during my first game that i attacked with the rets in my party and they killed their own. im not sure but by that point i might have had the total rebalance mod installed so maybe thats why.

does setting this high allow you to gain levels quicker?

i don't think so. i did the same thing and soon after regreted it, it makes getting the rare encounter in switzerland almost impossible. as far as classes go you should probably stick with sniper or soldier, though a well built throw thief is crazy strong at higher levels. the build i usually use is a super light sniper who in practice is really just a scout with enhanced shooting ability. i start off with 3 str 10 dex and 5 or 6 int, that way i gain shooting, ap, and hide at a really fast pace. also the sniper has many of the same sense skils as the scout so i can sneak up and and take out a whole group of enemy soldiers with a silenced pistol or smg, though the combo of always inflict criticals, aim before shot, and a fast pistol works really well, just head shot and you have many instant kills. for the intro mission i usually run up the stairs and jump out the window. from there i wait crouched along the side of the house and wait for the guy to climb through the window the i cap him in the head a few times. while this is happening boris is drawing the others away so you can get the drop on them.

just wanted to get a feel for the demographics of this sites membership. just post you age, sex, location, and occupation. i'll start... Male age 23 i live in NYC and im a medical technician/student

just wanted to respond to an earlier post about the music sucking in this game, i doesn't! the suck metal battle song doesn't quite fit in there but it really gets me pumped for battle. when you hear those derivative riffs start up you know its time party. also i've heard alot of complaing about the main menu theme. are you people f***ing nuts! i would leave the game there an just listen to it. its really a beautiful song if you listen to it and have any musical appreciaton skills. totally off topic but im tired of people putting that song down. the metal thing i understand but damn the main song is good.

are in game events moved along by time or progress, ie team level, # of territories, research? though i know some things won't happen until you research the nessesary tech first. im mainly concerned about enemy strength and new factions showing up. i was blasting away for awhile without a care in the world then the beastmen stepped up their game and started throwing in captains and chiefs to ruin my day.

can your rebel friends, ie tabbie and oghie, ever learn to run? their walking speed is slighly faster then your standard humans, i think, but their still pretty slow compared to your other troops once they have trained in athletics. also, to stay on topic, i would suggest you use mockingbird's second solution as rets seem pretty vulnerable to regular bullets. i usually use the standard FN something rifle since i can't manufacture anything better. so with that in mind, i set two guys to use aimed burst to draw their fire and two more to run cover to cover blasting enemies along the way with snap burst. though to be honest i don't fight the rets much cause their lasers scare me

besides any plot related reprecussions, do you get any benefits from terraforming?

i attacked the first group of rets to the south, the ones with the yellow territory.

i noticed when i attacked the reticulans the aliens stayed in my squad and killed their own people. am i to assume that they will let my destroy their entire faction and not leave?
