<p>Executor: Added some extra details</p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Strength (GV/GS) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Strength value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GS it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GS values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Strength (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents how powerful the units that ADVENT can deploy during missions. At very low levels, only the most basic unit types (ADVENT troopers, officers, sectoids, vipers, etc.) will be seen, but as force level increases, more powerful (MECs, mutons, archons, etc.) enemies will start to appear. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This build-up of more powerful and dangerous units by ADVENT is almost impossible to stop or even delay.<br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Strength Level===<br /> (referred to as 'Alert' in the game files)<br /> <br /> Strength refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Strength numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Strength (RS) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Strength (GS) level is the sum of all RSs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RS determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of Strength increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Strength to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Strength Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Strength of at least 1, except on Legendary where RS is level 2.<br /> * Global Strength starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Strength level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Strength level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Strength level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Strength on the region and +1 Strength on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Strength value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Strength Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Strength level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RS value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Strength level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Strength on the region and +1 Strength on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Strength level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 Strength level, regardless of the Global Strength level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Strength levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Strength (GS) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GS. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Strength points.<br /> ** The normal reinforcement activity continues to operate, and both types can even target the same region simultaneously.<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 5-9 days (depending on active rebels, minimum 5, +12 hours per active rebel above 5), so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return to a less alarmed status. This decay timer is reset every time XCOM successfully completes a mission in the region. Failed missions have no effect.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Strength value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Strength Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Strength levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Strength - the range of Regional Strength values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * Evac Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> * Regional Cooldown - the number of days before this Activity can appear again in a region. Cooldown timer starts when Activity is spawned.<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Strength Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration (hours)'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier (hours)'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities (guerilla ops)''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div>__TOC__<br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> === Enemy Activity Level ===<br /> <br /> Enemy Activity level refers to the quantity of enemies deployed on a map. Activity Level is described as "light", "heavy", etc; these categories correspond to the table below. When preparing to infiltrate, '''base''' Enemy Activity is an estimation of the strength of the enemy forces you will encounter at 100% infiltration; the '''actual''' Enemy Activity level depends on your infiltration rate (for more information, see the [[Infiltration (LW2)|Infiltration]] page).

The mission is not visible at this time; the local haven must collect enough intel to reveal the mission. Assigning more resistance members to the "intel" job can make missions considerably easier by discovering missions earlier and allowing more time to infiltrate. A mission's expiration timer starts when it is created, not when it is discovered; most infiltration missions have a base duration of 18 days, which is randomized by a few days each time a mission is created. <br /> <br /> Havens each generate "intel points" from having personnel assigned to intel gathering. These points are applied to undiscovered missions in the region at certain update intervals, currently 4 times a day (every 6 hours). Each mission keeps a pool of collected intel points. The difficulty of discovering a certain type of mission is controlled by two numbers: "required intel" and "discovery chance". A mission cannot be detected until you generate intel equal to the "required intel" value. Once the minimum is reached there is a random chance (1/4 of discovery chance) to discover the mission at every update. The probability is based on the mission's "percent chance" stat, multiplied by the number of intel points collected past the required minimum.<br /> <br /> In the table below, a basic level-0 resistance member is defined as one "intel point" per day. A level-1 resistance member is worth 1.5 points, a level-2 is worth 2, and the Avenger scanning is worth 4. A scientist assigned as haven liaison adds an extra 20% bonus to the entire haven. Each faceless reduces overall intel point generation by 3/5/6/7% depending on difficulty (regardless of what job the faceless is doing).<br /> <br /> {|class="wikitable"<br /> |'''Category'''<br /> !Research!!Data!!VIP!!Prisoners!!Liberation 1<br /> |-<br /> |'''Mission Types'''<br /> |Hacking<br /> |Hacking, Destroy<br /> |Rescue/Extract<br /> |Jailbreak<br /> |Hacking<br /> |-<br /> |'''Required intel''' (points)<br /> |24||1||12||8||22<br /> |-<br /> |'''Discovery Chance''' (per point)<br /> |0.85%||1.75%||0.9%||1.4%||2%<br /> |}<br /> <br /> '''Example:''' A haven with six level-0 resistance members and one level-1 assigned to intel, plus a scientist liaison, generates 9 "points" per day. The first mission in the liberation chain spawns. The haven can't detect this mission until it generates 22 points, which takes just under 2.5 days.<br /> <br /> One day after that, the haven has an 4.5% chance to detect the mission: it has 9 intel points in the pool (subtracting out the 22 needed for the required intel) times 2 per point, resulting in 18 discovery chance which means you'll have 4.5% chance to detect the mission every 6 hours. One day later, the haven has 18 points and has a 36 discovery chance (9% to detect every 6 hours).<br /> <br /> == Types of Missions ==<br /> <br /> The type of mission affects a variety of factors: what the primary objective is, what type of rewards will be received, how long the squad has to complete the objective, how strong of a force the enemy will tend to field relative to other missions in the region, whether the squad starts concealed or not, and even where the squad can extract from.<br /> <br /> Perhaps the most important factor is whether or not a squad needs to infiltrate or not, and how long the squad has to do it. For more information on infiltration mechanics, see the [[Infiltration (LW2) | Infiltration]] page for details.<br /> <br /> === Guerrilla Operations ===<br /> <br /> These missions will generate regularly regardless of ADVENT activity in a region. XCOM will infiltrate some city and complete some useful objective, typically acquiring personnel and/or intel in the process.<br /> <br /> * Jailbreak – XCOM must infiltrate an ADVENT jail and rescue 2-4 prisoners. Success will add them to the region's Haven. At least one must be saved for the mission to be a success (any others are optional/extra). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> ** Prisoners can be new soldiers if the region already has a large number of rebels.<br /> <br /> * Rescue VIP - Two variants;<br /> ** XCOM must lead a VIP (a soldier, scientist, or engineer) to the extraction point. ''No concealment''.<br /> ** XCOM must secure a vehicle containing the VIP, free them, then lead them to the extraction point. ''Concealed Start''<br /> <br /> * Hack a Workstation - XCOM must hack a particular workstation. Awards intel upon completion. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === Retaliation Missions ===<br /> <br /> Retaliation missions trigger with increasing frequency and severity as XCOM takes action in a particular region and draws attention towards it. Retaliation missions have no infiltration timer. The Haven Advisor of a region, if a soldier, will typically be present at these missions, alongside various resistance personnel outfitted with the basic weapons and equipment that rookie XCOM personnel deploy with.<br /> <br /> * Rendezvous: When XCOM rescues or recruits resistance members, there is a chance that they may be Faceless; when Faceless disguised as members of the Resistance is detected as they go to meet with their ADVENT handlers, Resistance personnel from the local haven will deploy to the scene and hunt them down. You will not be able to arm or equip a squad to this mission. XCOM must detect Faceless by stationing a soldier as the Haven advisor. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> * Supply Raid: XCOM must deploy a squad to defend a supply convoy and its Resistance personnel from ADVENT attacks. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Intel Raid: ADVENT attacks a Resistance listening post and XCOM must deploy a squad to defend its equipment and Resistance personnel. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Recruitment Raid: ADVENT forces attack Resistance recruiters within a region. XCOM must deploy a squad and extract those Resistance members. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Full Retaliation: XCOM must defend the Haven and it's Resistance members against an onslaught of ADVENT forces until the Skyranger can get into position for extraction. This mission usually comes in two parts.<br /> ** '''Retaliation 1''': This will be a destroy the relay mission but the briefing will state that Advent is searching for the haven and that you need to prevent a '''DATA LEAK'''. Completing this mission keeps the haven safe. (If you don't detect this mission, you go straight to a full retaliation.)<br /> ** '''Full retaliation (Retaliation 2)''': XCom must defend the Haven. This mission comes in two different flavours:<br /> :# Many ADVENT in the AO trying to kill members of your resistance haven. You must rush to kill them to save resistance members. This mission can yield corpses.<br /> :# ADVENT drops unlimited reinforcements and you must rally all resistance members and soldiers to the EVAC zone to save them. This mission will not yield corpses.<br /> <br /> * Region Invasion: ADVENT attempts to retake a liberated region by assaulting a city center. XCOM must destroy a psionic relay that summons continuous reinforcements, then eliminate any remaining forces. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> === Liberation Missions ===<br /> <br /> As part of its attempts to liberate a region from ADVENT control, XCOM will conduct a set sequence of five operations. The early missions are difficult to detect and the later missions receive an substantial bonus to activity level, over and above the strength value of the region.<br /> <br /> * '''Liberation 1:''' Hacking Guerrilla Op. The mission objectives won't actually have the word "liberation" in the title. But you can tell Liberation 1 from the rewards. It will just be a certain amount of Intel (with no listed Intel package). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 2:''' Rescue Defector. XCOM must rescue a VIP from a city location and move to the extraction point. ''Not Concealed''.<br /> * '''Liberation 3:''' There are at least 2 possible mission types. Either mission type you get will have "Liberation" as part of the objective. Now do take note, Lib3 will also have an Advent strength bonus (above the regional base) meaning the baseline activity will be a decent amount higher as well as the tech you'll be facing. So go in nice and prepared for this one. <br /> **Dark VIP mission (which seems to be more common) - There is also a high probability that the civilians on the map are Faceless<br /> **Destroy the Relay mission. <br /> * '''Liberation 4''' - Regional Network Tower Liberation: XCOM must deploy to and liberate an advent network tower. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. A small squad (up to five soldiers) must hack a console at the far end of the map. Doing so disables the reinforcement timer and stuns all remaining enemies. The mission ends only when there are no remaining enemies, and reinforcements will come rapidly once the alarm is raised. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 5''' - ADVENT Facility Assault: XCOM must deploy to and overtake a well-defended ADVENT facility. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> Note that failing or skipping a liberation mission does not reset the path. You'll just have to detect it again (unless it's the tower or base, which are persistent once you unlock them).<br /> <br /> == Collecting Enemy Corpses ==<br /> Long War 2 uses the correct term for military equipment and supplies: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materiel materiel].<br /> <br /> Most missions in Long War 2 require you to evacuate and you do not keep the bodies of fallen Advent or Aliens. As corpses are much more valuable in Long War 2 players should make special consideration for missions which do allow them to keep the corpses of fallen foes.<br /> <br /> The following mission types allow collection of enemy materiel:<br /> * Ambush troop column: These missions are the only way to actively reduce ADVENT strength in a region.<br /> * Supply convoy ambush: Alloys you to destroy ADVENT troops about to reinforce a region, this prevents ADVENT strength from increasing.<br /> * Invasion<br /> * Rendezvous<br /> * Regional HQ assault<br /> <br /> ===Strategy===<br /> As Vahlen has taught us, explosives destroy all recoverable materiel when delivering the killing blow as both a possible loot drop and the corpse will be destroyed. Flamethrowers also destroy corpses if the initial hit kills the target, though burning damage will leave a collectible corpse and drop timed loot if carried. Consider using the Needle Grenades perk for grenadiers if you are in need of explosives use.<br /> <br /> It may be beneficial to sabotage your infiltration percentage to increase the enemy presence if you feel you will be victorious. You are allowed to start any infiltration mission early from the geoscape. Note that enemy readiness will also be boosted if you begin prematurely, increasing their detection range, evac delay, and reinforcements strength.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Missions (LW2)| ]]</div>

Activity Level is described as "light", "heavy", etc; these categories correspond to the table below. When preparing to infiltrate, '''base''' Enemy Activity is an estimation of the strength of the enemy forces you will encounter at 100% infiltration; the '''actual''' Enemy Activity level depends on your infiltration rate (for more information, see the [[Infiltration (LW2)|Infiltration]] page). In general, at 0% infiltration, enemy strength will be several steps higher than the baseline; at 200% infiltration, it will be a few steps lower, to a minimum of "Extremely Light". <br /> <br /> {|class="wikitable"<br /> !Activity Level<br /> !Enemy Units<br /> |-<br /> |Extremely Light <br /> |8-9*<br /> |-<br /> |Very Light <br /> |10-12<br /> |-<br /> |Light <br /> |13-15<br /> |-<br /> |Light-Moderate<br /> |16-18<br /> |-<br /> |Moderate<br /> |19-21<br /> |-<br /> |Moderate-Heavy<br /> |22-24<br /> |-<br /> |Heavy<br /> |25-27<br /> |-<br /> |Very Heavy<br /> |28-30<br /> |-<br /> |Extremely Heavy<br /> |31-33<br /> |-<br /> |Swarming<br /> |34+<br /> |}<br /> <nowiki>*</nowiki>Except for Smash N Grab, where only 7 enemies is possible, as solo drones usually cannot appear on that mission.<br /> <br /> ==Mission Table==<br /> <br /> This table compiles the information contained in LW2's configuration files regarding missions.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable sortable" width="100%" style="text-align: center<br /> !

As corpses are much more valuable in Long War 2 players should make special consideration for missions which do allow them to keep the corpses of fallen foes.<br /> <br /> The following mission types allow collection of enemy materiel:<br /> * Ambush troop column: These missions are the only way to actively reduce ADVENT strength in a region.<br /> * Supply convoy ambush: Alloys you to destroy ADVENT troops about to reinforce a region, this prevents ADVENT strength from increasing.<br /> * Invasion<br /> * Rendezvous<br /> * Regional HQ assault<br /> <br /> ===Strategy===<br /> As Vahlen has taught us, explosives destroy all recoverable materiel when delivering the killing blow as both a possible loot drop and the corpse will be destroyed. Flamethrowers also destroy corpses if the initial hit kills the target, though burning damage will leave a collectible corpse and drop timed loot if carried. Consider using the Needle Grenades perk for grenadiers if you are in need of explosives use.<br /> <br /> It may be beneficial to sabotage your infiltration percentage to increase the enemy presence if you feel you will be victorious. You are allowed to start any infiltration mission early from the geoscape. Note that enemy readiness will also be boosted if you begin prematurely, increasing their detection range, evac delay, and reinforcements strength.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Missions (LW2)| ]]</div>

<p>Executor: corrected Rendezvous</p> <hr /> <div>__TOC__<br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> === Enemy Activity Level ===<br /> <br /> Enemy Activity level refers to the quantity of enemies deployed on a map. Activity Level is described as "light", "heavy", etc; these categories correspond to the table below. When preparing to infiltrate, '''base''' Enemy Activity is an estimation of the strength of the enemy forces you will encounter at 100% infiltration; the '''actual''' Enemy Activity level depends on your infiltration rate (for more information, see the [[Infiltration (LW2)|Infiltration]] page). In general, at 0% infiltration, enemy strength will be several steps higher than the baseline; at 200% infiltration, it will be a few steps lower, to a minimum of "Extremely Light". <br /> <br /> {|class="wikitable"<br /> !Activity Level<br /> !Enemy Units<br /> |-<br /> |Extremely Light <br /> |8-9*<br /> |-<br /> |Very Light <br /> |10-12<br /> |-<br /> |Light <br /> |13-15<br /> |-<br /> |Light-Moderate<br /> |16-18<br /> |-<br /> |Moderate<br /> |19-21<br /> |-<br /> |Moderate-Heavy<br /> |22-24<br /> |-<br /> |Heavy<br /> |25-27<br /> |-<br /> |Very Heavy<br /> |28-30<br /> |-<br /> |Extremely Heavy<br /> |31-33<br /> |-<br /> |Swarming<br /> |34+<br /> |}<br /> <nowiki>*</nowiki>Except for Smash N Grab, where only 7 enemies is possible, as solo drones usually cannot appear on that mission.<br /> <br /> ==Mission Table==<br /> <br /> This table compiles the information contained in LW2's configuration files regarding missions.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable sortable" width="100%" style="text-align: center<br /> !

Failing to complete the objective before the timer expires will result in failing the mission but you can still evac your soldiers.<br /> **Evac timers put an absolute limit on mission duration. Any soldier still on the map when the timer reaches 0 is lost (captured). When the timer reaches 1, the last turn start (there is no "0 turns left" turn).<br /> **Reinforcement timers are delays before increasingly strong reinforcements start dropping. You can still complete a mission after such a timer reaches zero but it will become harder with each wave. This timer starts only after you break concealment.<br /> **Several non timed missions (such as the Blacksite and Network Tower) include a hidden reinforcement timer.<br /> * Infiltration<br /> ** Yes - the squad can infiltrate the site to reduce enemy strength<br /> ** 100% - infiltration needs to reach at least this value before mission can be launched<br /> ** No - squad goes directly into combat, skipping infiltration<br /> ** Alerted - mission starts immediately, no squad concealment, enemies start on yellow alert<br /> * Evacuation<br /> ** Evac Flare - squad can call the Skyranger to be able to evacuate the mission<br /> ** Fixed Exit - squad has to reach exit area<br /> ** Countdown Exit - squad has to wait until exit area becomes active<br /> * Loot - if yes, alien corpses and material will be recovered if the battle is won; if no, only actual 'item' loot (such as datapads) is recovered<br /> <br /> == Generating Missions ==<br /> <br /> Missions spawn automatically as the days pass, and expire after a given window of time. The mission is not visible at this time; the local haven must collect enough intel to reveal the mission. Assigning more resistance members to the "intel" job can make missions considerably easier by discovering missions earlier and allowing more time to infiltrate. A mission's expiration timer starts when it is created, not when it is discovered; most infiltration missions have a base duration of 18 days, which is randomized by a few days each time a mission is created. <br /> <br /> Havens each generate "intel points" from having personnel assigned to intel gathering. These points are applied to undiscovered missions in the region at certain update intervals, currently 4 times a day (every 6 hours). Each mission keeps a pool of collected intel points. The difficulty of discovering a certain type of mission is controlled by two numbers: "required intel" and "discovery chance". A mission cannot be detected until you generate intel equal to the "required intel" value. Once the minimum is reached there is a random chance (1/4 of discovery chance) to discover the mission at every update. The probability is based on the mission's "percent chance" stat, multiplied by the number of intel points collected past the required minimum.<br /> <br /> In the table below, a basic level-0 resistance member is defined as one "intel point" per day. A level-1 resistance member is worth 1.5 points, a level-2 is worth 2, and the Avenger scanning is worth 4. A scientist assigned as haven liaison adds an extra 20% bonus to the entire haven. Each faceless reduces overall intel point generation by 3/5/6/7% depending on difficulty (regardless of what job the faceless is doing).<br /> <br /> {|class="wikitable"<br /> |'''Category'''<br /> !Research!!Data!!VIP!!Prisoners!!Liberation 1<br /> |-<br /> |'''Mission Types'''<br /> |Hacking<br /> |Hacking, Destroy<br /> |Rescue/Extract<br /> |Jailbreak<br /> |Hacking<br /> |-<br /> |'''Required intel''' (points)<br /> |24||1||12||8||22<br /> |-<br /> |'''Discovery Chance''' (per point)<br /> |0.85%||1.75%||0.9%||1.4%||2%<br /> |}<br /> <br /> '''Example:''' A haven with six level-0 resistance members and one level-1 assigned to intel, plus a scientist liaison, generates 9 "points" per day. The first mission in the liberation chain spawns. The haven can't detect this mission until it generates 22 points, which takes just under 2.5 days.<br /> <br /> One day after that, the haven has an 4.5% chance to detect the mission: it has 9 intel points in the pool (subtracting out the 22 needed for the required intel) times 2 per point, resulting in 18 discovery chance which means you'll have 4.5% chance to detect the mission every 6 hours. One day later, the haven has 18 points and has a 36 discovery chance (9% to detect every 6 hours).<br /> <br /> == Types of Missions ==<br /> <br /> The type of mission affects a variety of factors: what the primary objective is, what type of rewards will be received, how long the squad has to complete the objective, how strong of a force the enemy will tend to field relative to other missions in the region, whether the squad starts concealed or not, and even where the squad can extract from.<br /> <br /> Perhaps the most important factor is whether or not a squad needs to infiltrate or not, and how long the squad has to do it. For more information on infiltration mechanics, see the [[Infiltration (LW2) | Infiltration]] page for details.<br /> <br /> === Guerrilla Operations ===<br /> <br /> These missions will generate regularly regardless of ADVENT activity in a region. XCOM will infiltrate some city and complete some useful objective, typically acquiring personnel and/or intel in the process.<br /> <br /> * Jailbreak – XCOM must infiltrate an ADVENT jail and rescue 2-4 prisoners. Success will add them to the region's Haven. At least one must be saved for the mission to be a success (any others are optional/extra). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> ** Prisoners can be new soldiers if the region already has a large number of rebels.<br /> <br /> * Rescue VIP - Two variants;<br /> ** XCOM must lead a VIP (a soldier, scientist, or engineer) to the extraction point. ''No concealment''.<br /> ** XCOM must secure a vehicle containing the VIP, free them, then lead them to the extraction point. ''Concealed Start''<br /> <br /> * Hack a Workstation - XCOM must hack a particular workstation. Awards intel upon completion. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === Retaliation Missions ===<br /> <br /> Retaliation missions trigger with increasing frequency and severity as XCOM takes action in a particular region and draws attention towards it. Retaliation missions have no infiltration timer. The Haven Advisor of a region, if a soldier, will typically be present at these missions, alongside various resistance personnel outfitted with the basic weapons and equipment that rookie XCOM personnel deploy with.<br /> <br /> * Rendezvous: When XCOM rescues or recruits resistance members, there is a chance that they may be Faceless; when Faceless disguised as members of the Resistance is detected as they go to meet with their ADVENT handlers, Resistance personnel from the local haven will deploy to the scene and hunt them down. You will not be able to arm or equip a squad to this mission. XCOM must detect Faceless by stationing a soldier as the Haven advisor. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> * Supply Raid: XCOM must deploy a squad to defend a supply convoy and its Resistance personnel from ADVENT attacks. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Intel Raid: ADVENT attacks a Resistance listening post and XCOM must deploy a squad to defend its equipment and Resistance personnel. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Recruitment Raid: ADVENT forces attack Resistance recruiters within a region. XCOM must deploy a squad and extract those Resistance members. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Full Retaliation: XCOM must defend the Haven and it's Resistance members against an onslaught of ADVENT forces until the Skyranger can get into position for extraction. This mission usually comes in two parts.<br /> ** '''Retaliation 1''': This will be a destroy the relay mission but the briefing will state that Advent is searching for the haven and that you need to prevent a '''DATA LEAK'''. Completing this mission keeps the haven safe. (If you don't detect this mission, you go straight to a full retaliation.)<br /> ** '''Full retaliation (Retaliation 2)''': XCom must defend the Haven. This mission comes in two different flavours:<br /> :# Many ADVENT in the AO trying to kill members of your resistance haven. You must rush to kill them to save resistance members. This mission can yield corpses.<br /> :# ADVENT drops unlimited reinforcements and you must rally all resistance members and soldiers to the EVAC zone to save them. This mission will not yield corpses.<br /> <br /> * Region Invasion: ADVENT attempts to retake a liberated region by assaulting a city center. XCOM must destroy a psionic relay that summons continuous reinforcements, then eliminate any remaining forces. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> === Liberation Missions ===<br /> <br /> As part of its attempts to liberate a region from ADVENT control, XCOM will conduct a set sequence of five operations. The early missions are difficult to detect and the later missions receive an substantial bonus to activity level, over and above the strength value of the region.<br /> <br /> * '''Liberation 1:''' Hacking Guerrilla Op. The mission objectives won't actually have the word "liberation" in the title. But you can tell Liberation 1 from the rewards. It will just be a certain amount of Intel (with no listed Intel package). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 2:''' Rescue Defector. XCOM must rescue a VIP from a city location and move to the extraction point. ''Not Concealed''.<br /> * '''Liberation 3:''' There are at least 2 possible mission types. Either mission type you get will have "Liberation" as part of the objective. Now do take note, Lib3 will also have an Advent strength bonus (above the regional base) meaning the baseline activity will be a decent amount higher as well as the tech you'll be facing. So go in nice and prepared for this one. <br /> **Dark VIP mission (which seems to be more common) - There is also a high probability that the civilians on the map are Faceless<br /> **Destroy the Relay mission. <br /> * '''Liberation 4''' - Regional Network Tower Liberation: XCOM must deploy to and liberate an advent network tower. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. A small squad (up to five soldiers) must hack a console at the far end of the map. Doing so disables the reinforcement timer and stuns all remaining enemies. The mission ends only when there are no remaining enemies, and reinforcements will come rapidly once the alarm is raised. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 5''' - ADVENT Facility Assault: XCOM must deploy to and overtake a well-defended ADVENT facility. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> Note that failing or skipping a liberation mission does not reset the path. You'll just have to detect it again (unless it's the tower or base, which are persistent once you unlock them).<br /> <br /> == Collecting Enemy Corpses ==<br /> Long War 2 uses the correct term for military equipment and supplies: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materiel materiel].<br /> <br /> Most missions in Long War 2 require you to evacuate and you do not keep the bodies of fallen Advent or Aliens. As corpses are much more valuable in Long War 2 players should make special consideration for missions which do allow them to keep the corpses of fallen foes.<br /> <br /> The following mission types allow collection of enemy materiel:<br /> * Ambush troop column: These missions are the only way to actively reduce ADVENT strength in a region.<br /> * Supply convoy ambush: Alloys you to destroy ADVENT troops about to reinforce a region, this prevents ADVENT strength from increasing.<br /> * Invasion<br /> * Rendezvous<br /> * Regional HQ assault<br /> <br /> ===Strategy===<br /> As Vahlen has taught us, explosives destroy all recoverable materiel when delivering the killing blow as both a possible loot drop and the corpse will be destroyed. Flamethrowers also destroy corpses if the initial hit kills the target, though burning damage will leave a collectible corpse and drop timed loot if carried. Consider using the Needle Grenades perk for grenadiers if you are in need of explosives use.<br /> <br /> It may be beneficial to sabotage your infiltration percentage to increase the enemy presence if you feel you will be victorious. You are allowed to start any infiltration mission early from the geoscape. Note that enemy readiness will also be boosted if you begin prematurely, increasing their detection range, evac delay, and reinforcements strength.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Missions (LW2)| ]]</div>

The Haven Advisor of a region, if a soldier, will typically be present at these missions, alongside various resistance personnel outfitted with the basic weapons and equipment that rookie XCOM personnel deploy with.<br /> <br /> * Rendezvous: When XCOM rescues or recruits resistance members, there is a chance that they may be Faceless; when Faceless disguised as members of the Resistance is detected as they go to meet with their ADVENT handlers, Resistance personnel from the local haven will deploy to the scene and hunt them down. You will not be able to arm or equip a squad to this mission. XCOM must detect Faceless by stationing a soldier as the Haven advisor. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> * Supply Raid: XCOM must deploy a squad to defend a supply convoy and its Resistance personnel from ADVENT attacks. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Intel Raid: ADVENT attacks a Resistance listening post and XCOM must deploy a squad to defend its equipment and Resistance personnel. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Recruitment Raid: ADVENT forces attack Resistance recruiters within a region. XCOM must deploy a squad and extract those Resistance members. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Full Retaliation: XCOM must defend the Haven and it's Resistance members against an onslaught of ADVENT forces until the Skyranger can get into position for extraction. This mission usually comes in two parts.<br /> ** '''Retaliation 1''': This will be a destroy the relay mission but the briefing will state that Advent is searching for the haven and that you need to prevent a '''DATA LEAK'''. Completing this mission keeps the haven safe. (If you don't detect this mission, you go straight to a full retaliation.)<br /> ** '''Full retaliation (Retaliation 2)''': XCom must defend the Haven. This mission comes in two different flavours:<br /> :# Many ADVENT in the AO trying to kill members of your resistance haven. You must rush to kill them to save resistance members. This mission can yield corpses.<br /> :# ADVENT drops unlimited reinforcements and you must rally all resistance members and soldiers to the EVAC zone to save them. This mission will not yield corpses.<br /> <br /> * Region Invasion: ADVENT attempts to retake a liberated region by assaulting a city center. XCOM must destroy a psionic relay that summons continuous reinforcements, then eliminate any remaining forces. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> === Liberation Missions ===<br /> <br /> As part of its attempts to liberate a region from ADVENT control, XCOM will conduct a set sequence of five operations. The early missions are difficult to detect and the later missions receive an substantial bonus to activity level, over and above the strength value of the region.<br /> <br /> * '''Liberation 1:''' Hacking Guerrilla Op. The mission objectives won't actually have the word "liberation" in the title. But you can tell Liberation 1 from the rewards. It will just be a certain amount of Intel (with no listed Intel package). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 2:''' Rescue Defector. XCOM must rescue a VIP from a city location and move to the extraction point. ''Not Concealed''.<br /> * '''Liberation 3:''' There are at least 2 possible mission types. Either mission type you get will have "Liberation" as part of the objective. Now do take note, Lib3 will also have an Advent strength bonus (above the regional base) meaning the baseline activity will be a decent amount higher as well as the tech you'll be facing. So go in nice and prepared for this one. <br /> **Dark VIP mission (which seems to be more common) - There is also a high probability that the civilians on the map are Faceless<br /> **Destroy the Relay mission. <br /> * '''Liberation 4''' - Regional Network Tower Liberation: XCOM must deploy to and liberate an advent network tower. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. A small squad (up to five soldiers) must hack a console at the far end of the map. Doing so disables the reinforcement timer and stuns all remaining enemies. The mission ends only when there are no remaining enemies, and reinforcements will come rapidly once the alarm is raised. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 5''' - ADVENT Facility Assault: XCOM must deploy to and overtake a well-defended ADVENT facility. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> Note that failing or skipping a liberation mission does not reset the path. You'll just have to detect it again (unless it's the tower or base, which are persistent once you unlock them).<br /> <br /> == Collecting Enemy Corpses ==<br /> Long War 2 uses the correct term for military equipment and supplies: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materiel materiel].<br /> <br /> Most missions in Long War 2 require you to evacuate and you do not keep the bodies of fallen Advent or Aliens. As corpses are much more valuable in Long War 2 players should make special consideration for missions which do allow them to keep the corpses of fallen foes.<br /> <br /> The following mission types allow collection of enemy materiel:<br /> * Ambush troop column: These missions are the only way to actively reduce ADVENT strength in a region.<br /> * Supply convoy ambush: Alloys you to destroy ADVENT troops about to reinforce a region, this prevents ADVENT strength from increasing.<br /> * Invasion<br /> * Rendezvous<br /> * Regional HQ assault<br /> <br /> ===Strategy===<br /> As Vahlen has taught us, explosives destroy all recoverable materiel when delivering the killing blow as both a possible loot drop and the corpse will be destroyed. Flamethrowers also destroy corpses if the initial hit kills the target, though burning damage will leave a collectible corpse and drop timed loot if carried. Consider using the Needle Grenades perk for grenadiers if you are in need of explosives use.<br /> <br /> It may be beneficial to sabotage your infiltration percentage to increase the enemy presence if you feel you will be victorious. You are allowed to start any infiltration mission early from the geoscape. Note that enemy readiness will also be boosted if you begin prematurely, increasing their detection range, evac delay, and reinforcements strength.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Missions (LW2)| ]]</div>

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85686 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2018-03-22T22:29:53Z

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Strength (GV/GS) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Strength value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GS it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GS values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Strength (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents how powerful the units that ADVENT can deploy during missions. At very low levels, only the most basic unit types (ADVENT troopers, officers, sectoids, vipers, etc.) will be seen, but as force level increases, more powerful (MECs, mutons, archons, etc.) enemies will start to appear. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This build-up of more powerful and dangerous units by ADVENT is almost impossible to stop or even delay.<br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Strength Level===<br /> (referred to as 'Alert' in the game files)<br /> <br /> Strength refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Strength numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Strength (RS) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Strength (GS) level is the sum of all RSs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RS determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of Strength increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Strength to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Strength Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Strength of at least 1, except on Legendary where RS is level 2.<br /> * Global Strength starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Strength level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Strength level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Strength level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Strength on the region and +1 Strength on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Strength value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Strength Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Strength level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RS value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Strength level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Strength on the region and +1 Strength on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Strength level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 Strength level, regardless of the Global Strength level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Strength levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Strength (GS) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GS. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Strength points.<br /> ** The normal reinforcement activity continues to operate, and both types can even target the same region simultaneously.<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 5-9 days (depending on active rebels, minimum 5, +12 hours per active rebel above 5), so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return to a less alarmed status. This decay timer is reset every time XCOM successfully completes a mission in the region. Failed missions have no effect.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Strength value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Strength Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Strength levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Strength - the range of Regional Strength values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * Evac Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> * Regional Cooldown - the number of days before this Activity can appear again in a region. Cooldown timer starts when Activity is spawned.<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Strength Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration (hours)'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier (hours)'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities (guerilla ops)''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85685 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2018-03-22T22:17:01Z

<p>Executor: Added regional cooldown description</p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Strength (GV/GS) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Strength value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GS it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GS values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Strength (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents how powerful the units that ADVENT can deploy during missions. At very low levels, only the most basic unit types (ADVENT troopers, officers, sectoids, vipers, etc.) will be seen, but as force level increases, more powerful (MECs, mutons, archons, etc.) enemies will start to appear. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This build-up of more powerful and dangerous units by ADVENT is almost impossible to stop or even delay.<br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Strength Level===<br /> (referred to as 'Alert' in the game files)<br /> <br /> Strength refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Strength numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Strength (RS) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Strength (GS) level is the sum of all RSs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RS determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of Strength increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Strength to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Strength Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Strength of at least 1, except on Legendary where RS is level 2.<br /> * Global Strength starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Strength level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Strength level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Strength level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Strength on the region and +1 Strength on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Strength value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Strength Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Strength level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RS value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Strength level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Strength on the region and +1 Strength on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Strength level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 Strength level, regardless of the Global Strength level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Strength levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Strength (GS) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GS. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Strength points.<br /> ** The normal reinforcement activity continues to operate, and both types can even target the same region simultaneously.<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 5-9 days (depending on active rebels, minimum 5, +12 hours per active rebel above 5), so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return to a less alarmed status. This decay timer is reset every time XCOM successfully completes a mission in the region. Failed missions have no effect.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Strength value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Strength Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Strength levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Strength - the range of Regional Strength values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> * Regional Cooldown - the number of days before this Activity can appear again in a region. Cooldown timer starts when Activity is spawned.<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Strength Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration (hours)'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier (hours)'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85682 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2018-03-19T09:07:21Z

<p>Executor: Replaced all references to Alert with Strength to make it less confusing for new players</p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Strength (GV/GS) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Strength value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GS it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GS values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Strength (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents how powerful the units that ADVENT can deploy during missions. At very low levels, only the most basic unit types (ADVENT troopers, officers, sectoids, vipers, etc.) will be seen, but as force level increases, more powerful (MECs, mutons, archons, etc.) enemies will start to appear. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This build-up of more powerful and dangerous units by ADVENT is almost impossible to stop or even delay.<br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Strength Level===<br /> (referred to as 'Alert' in the game files)<br /> <br /> Strength refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Strength numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Strength (RS) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Strength (GS) level is the sum of all RSs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RS determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of Strength increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Strength to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Strength Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Strength of at least 1, except on Legendary where RS is level 2.<br /> * Global Strength starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Strength level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Strength level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Strength level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Strength on the region and +1 Strength on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Strength value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Strength Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Strength level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RS value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Strength level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Strength on the region and +1 Strength on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Strength level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 Strength level, regardless of the Global Strength level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Strength levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Strength (GS) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GS. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Strength points.<br /> ** The normal reinforcement activity continues to operate, and both types can even target the same region simultaneously.<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 5-9 days (depending on active rebels, minimum 5, +12 hours per active rebel above 5), so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return to a less alarmed status. This decay timer is reset every time XCOM successfully completes a mission in the region. Failed missions have no effect.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Strength value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Strength Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Strength levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Strength - the range of Regional Strength values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Strength Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration (hours)'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier (hours)'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85429 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2018-01-12T19:36:43Z

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 5-9 days (depending on active rebels, minimum 5, +12 hours per active rebel above 5), so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return to a less alarmed status. This decay timer is reset every time XCOM successfully completes a mission in the region. Failed missions have no effect.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85428 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2018-01-12T19:30:57Z

<p>Executor: Corrected Vigilance decay information</p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 5-9 days (depending on active rebels, minimum 5, +12 hours per active rebel above 5), so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status. This decay timer is reset every time XCOM successfully completes a mission in the region. Failed missions have no effect.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85352 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-11-19T16:00:38Z

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85351 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-11-19T15:58:55Z

<p>Executor: Added regional cooldowns</p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85348 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-11-18T22:31:13Z

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85347 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-11-18T21:58:15Z

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85346 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-11-15T22:41:12Z

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Activity Level is described as "light", "heavy", etc; these categories correspond to the table below. When preparing to infiltrate, '''base''' Enemy Activity is an estimation of the strength of the enemy forces you will encounter at 100% infiltration; the '''actual''' Enemy Activity level depends on your infiltration rate (for more information, see the [[Infiltration (LW2)|Infiltration]] page). In general, at 0% infiltration, enemy strength will be several steps higher than the baseline; at 200% infiltration, it will be a few steps lower, to a minimum of "Extremely Light". <br /> <br /> {|class="wikitable"<br /> !Activity Level<br /> !Enemy Units<br /> |-<br /> |Extremely Light <br /> |8-9*<br /> |-<br /> |Very Light <br /> |10-12<br /> |-<br /> |Light <br /> |13-15<br /> |-<br /> |Light-Moderate<br /> |16-18<br /> |-<br /> |Moderate<br /> |19-21<br /> |-<br /> |Moderate-Heavy<br /> |22-24<br /> |-<br /> |Heavy<br /> |25-27<br /> |-<br /> |Very Heavy<br /> |28-30<br /> |-<br /> |Extremely Heavy<br /> |31-33<br /> |-<br /> |Swarming<br /> |34+<br /> |}<br /> <nowiki>*</nowiki>Except for Smash N Grab, where only 7 enemies is possible, as solo drones usually cannot appear on that mission.<br /> <br /> ==Mission Table==<br /> <br /> This table compiles the information contained in LW2's configuration files regarding missions.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable sortable" width="100%" style="text-align: center<br /> !

The mission is not visible at this time; the local haven must collect enough intel to reveal the mission. Assigning more resistance members to the "intel" job can make missions considerably easier by discovering missions earlier and allowing more time to infiltrate. A mission's expiration timer starts when it is created, not when it is discovered; most infiltration missions have a base duration of 18 days, which is randomized by a few days each time a mission is created. <br /> <br /> Havens each generate "intel points" from having personnel assigned to intel gathering. These points are applied to undiscovered missions in the region at certain update intervals, currently 4 times a day (every 6 hours). Each mission keeps a pool of collected intel points. The difficulty of discovering a certain type of mission is controlled by two numbers: "required intel" and "discovery chance". A mission cannot be detected until you generate intel equal to the "required intel" value. Once the minimum is reached there is a random chance (1/4 of discovery chance) to discover the mission at every update. The probability is based on the mission's "percent chance" stat, multiplied by the number of intel points collected past the required minimum.<br /> <br /> In the table below, a basic level-0 resistance member is defined as one "intel point" per day. A level-1 resistance member is worth 1.5 points, a level-2 is worth 2, and the Avenger scanning is worth 4. A scientist assigned as haven liaison adds an extra 20% bonus to the entire haven. Each faceless reduces overall intel point generation by 3/5/6/7% depending on difficulty (regardless of what job the faceless is doing).<br /> <br /> {|class="wikitable"<br /> |'''Category'''<br /> !Research!!Data!!VIP!!Prisoners!!Liberation 1<br /> |-<br /> |'''Mission Types'''<br /> |Hacking<br /> |Hacking, Destroy<br /> |Rescue/Extract<br /> |Jailbreak<br /> |Hacking<br /> |-<br /> |'''Required intel''' (points)<br /> |24||1||12||8||22<br /> |-<br /> |'''Discovery Chance''' (per point)<br /> |0.85%||1.75%||0.9%||1.4%||2%<br /> |}<br /> <br /> '''Example:''' A haven with six level-0 resistance members and one level-1 assigned to intel, plus a scientist liaison, generates 9 "points" per day. The first mission in the liberation chain spawns. The haven can't detect this mission until it generates 22 points, which takes just under 2.5 days.<br /> <br /> One day after that, the haven has an 4.5% chance to detect the mission: it has 9 intel points in the pool (subtracting out the 22 needed for the required intel) times 2 per point, resulting in 18 discovery chance which means you'll have 4.5% chance to detect the mission every 6 hours. One day later, the haven has 18 points and has a 36 discovery chance (9% to detect every 6 hours).<br /> <br /> == Types of Missions ==<br /> <br /> The type of mission affects a variety of factors: what the primary objective is, what type of rewards will be received, how long the squad has to complete the objective, how strong of a force the enemy will tend to field relative to other missions in the region, whether the squad starts concealed or not, and even where the squad can extract from.<br /> <br /> Perhaps the most important factor is whether or not a squad needs to infiltrate or not, and how long the squad has to do it. For more information on infiltration mechanics, see the [[Infiltration (LW2) | Infiltration]] page for details.<br /> <br /> === Guerrilla Operations ===<br /> <br /> These missions will generate regularly regardless of ADVENT activity in a region. XCOM will infiltrate some city and complete some useful objective, typically acquiring personnel and/or intel in the process.<br /> <br /> * Jailbreak – XCOM must infiltrate an ADVENT jail and rescue 2-4 prisoners. Success will add them to the region's Haven. At least one must be saved for the mission to be a success (any others are optional/extra). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> ** Prisoners can be new soldiers if the region already has a large number of rebels.<br /> <br /> * Rescue VIP - Two variants;<br /> ** XCOM must lead a VIP (a soldier, scientist, or engineer) to the extraction point. ''No concealment''.<br /> ** XCOM must secure a vehicle containing the VIP, free them, then lead them to the extraction point. ''Concealed Start''<br /> <br /> * Hack a Workstation - XCOM must hack a particular workstation. Awards intel upon completion. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === Retaliation Missions ===<br /> <br /> Retaliation missions trigger with increasing frequency and severity as XCOM takes action in a particular region and draws attention towards it. Retaliation missions have no infiltration timer. The Haven Advisor of a region, if a soldier, will typically be present at these missions, alongside various resistance personnel outfitted with the basic weapons and equipment that rookie XCOM personnel deploy with.<br /> <br /> * Rendezvous: When XCOM rescues or recruits resistance members, there is a chance that they may be Faceless; when Faceless disguised as members of the Resistance is detected as they go to meet with their ADVENT handlers, Resistance personnel from the local haven will deploy to the scene and hunt them down. You will not be able to arm or equip a squad to this mission. XCOM must detect Faceless by stationing a soldier as the Haven advisor. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> * Supply Raid: XCOM must deploy a squad to defend a supply convoy and its Resistance personnel from ADVENT attacks. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Intel Raid: ADVENT attacks a Resistance listening post and XCOM must deploy a squad to defend its equipment and Resistance personnel. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Recruitment Raid: ADVENT forces attack Resistance recruiters within a region. XCOM must deploy a squad and extract those Resistance members. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Full Retaliation: XCOM must defend the Haven and it's Resistance members against an onslaught of ADVENT forces until the Skyranger can get into position for extraction. This mission usually comes in two parts.<br /> ** '''Retaliation 1''': This will be a destroy the relay mission but the briefing will state that Advent is searching for the haven and that you need to prevent a '''DATA LEAK'''. Completing this mission keeps the haven safe. (If you don't detect this mission, you go straight to a full retaliation.)<br /> ** '''Full retaliation (Retaliation 2)''': XCom must defend the Haven. This mission comes in two different flavours:<br /> :# Many ADVENT in the AO trying to kill members of your resistance haven. You must rush to kill them to save resistance members. This mission can yield corpses.<br /> :# ADVENT drops unlimited reinforcements and you must rally all resistance members and soldiers to the EVAC zone to save them. This mission will not yield corpses.<br /> <br /> * Region Invasion: ADVENT attempts to retake a liberated region by assaulting a city center. XCOM must destroy a psionic relay that summons continuous reinforcements, then eliminate any remaining forces. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> === Liberation Missions ===<br /> <br /> As part of its attempts to liberate a region from ADVENT control, XCOM will conduct a set sequence of five operations. The early missions are difficult to detect and the later missions receive an substantial bonus to activity level, over and above the strength value of the region.<br /> <br /> * '''Liberation 1:''' Hacking Guerrilla Op. The mission objectives won't actually have the word "liberation" in the title. But you can tell Liberation 1 from the rewards. It will just be a certain amount of Intel (with no listed Intel package). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 2:''' Rescue Defector. XCOM must rescue a VIP from a city location and move to the extraction point. ''Not Concealed''.<br /> * '''Liberation 3:''' There are at least 2 possible mission types. Either mission type you get will have "Liberation" as part of the objective. Now do take note, Lib3 will also have an Advent strength bonus (above the regional base) meaning the baseline activity will be a decent amount higher as well as the tech you'll be facing. So go in nice and prepared for this one. <br /> **Dark VIP mission (which seems to be more common) - There is also a high probability that the civilians on the map are Faceless<br /> **Destroy the Relay mission. <br /> * '''Liberation 4''' - Regional Network Tower Liberation: XCOM must deploy to and liberate an advent network tower. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. A small squad (up to five soldiers) must hack a console at the far end of the map. Doing so disables the reinforcement timer and stuns all remaining enemies. The mission ends only when there are no remaining enemies, and reinforcements will come rapidly once the alarm is raised. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 5''' - ADVENT Facility Assault: XCOM must deploy to and overtake a well-defended ADVENT facility. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> Note that failing or skipping a liberation mission does not reset the path. You'll just have to detect it again (unless it's the tower or base, which are persistent once you unlock them).<br /> <br /> == Collecting Enemy Corpses ==<br /> Long War 2 uses the correct term for military equipment and supplies: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materiel materiel].<br /> <br /> Most missions in Long War 2 require you to evacuate and you do not keep the bodies of fallen Advent or Aliens. As corpses are much more valuable in Long War 2 players should make special consideration for missions which do allow them to keep the corpses of fallen foes.<br /> <br /> The following mission types allow collection of enemy materiel:<br /> * Ambush troop column: These missions are the only way to actively reduce ADVENT strength in a region.<br /> * Supply convoy ambush: Alloys you to destroy ADVENT troops about to reinforce a region, this prevents ADVENT strength from increasing.<br /> * Invasion<br /> * Rendezvous<br /> * Regional HQ assault<br /> <br /> ===Strategy===<br /> As Vahlen has taught us, explosives destroy all recoverable materiel when delivering the killing blow as both a possible loot drop and the corpse will be destroyed. Flamethrowers also destroy corpses if the initial hit kills the target, though burning damage will leave a collectible corpse and drop timed loot if carried. Consider using the Needle Grenades perk for grenadiers if you are in need of explosives use.<br /> <br /> It may be beneficial to sabotage your infiltration percentage to increase the enemy presence if you feel you will be victorious. You are allowed to start any infiltration mission early from the geoscape. Note that enemy readiness will also be boosted if you begin prematurely, increasing their detection range, evac delay, and reinforcements strength.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Missions (LW2)| ]]</div>

These points are applied to undiscovered missions in the region at certain update intervals, currently 4 times a day (every 6 hours). Each mission keeps a pool of collected intel points. The difficulty of discovering a certain type of mission is controlled by two numbers: "required intel" and "discovery chance". A mission cannot be detected until you generate intel equal to the "required intel" value. Once the minimum is reached there is a random chance (1/4 of discovery chance) to discover the mission at every update. The probability is based on the mission's "percent chance" stat, multiplied by the number of intel points collected past the required minimum.<br /> <br /> In the table below, a basic level-0 resistance member is defined as one "intel point" per day. A level-1 resistance member is worth 1.5 points, a level-2 is worth 2, and the Avenger scanning is worth 4. A scientist assigned as haven liaison adds an extra 20% bonus to the entire haven. Each faceless reduces overall intel point generation by 3/5/6/7% depending on difficulty (regardless of what job the faceless is doing).<br /> <br /> {|class="wikitable"<br /> |'''Category'''<br /> !Research!!Data!!VIP!!Prisoners!!Liberation 1<br /> |-<br /> |'''Mission Types'''<br /> |Hacking<br /> |Hacking, Destroy<br /> |Rescue/Extract<br /> |Jailbreak<br /> |Hacking<br /> |-<br /> |'''Required intel''' (points)<br /> |24||1||12||8||22<br /> |-<br /> |'''Discovery Chance''' (per point)<br /> |0.85%||1.75%||0.9%||1.4%||2%<br /> |}<br /> <br /> '''Example:''' A haven with six level-0 resistance members and one level-1 assigned to intel, plus a scientist liaison, generates 9 "points" per day. The first mission in the liberation chain spawns. The haven can't detect this mission until it generates 22 points, which takes just under 2.5 days.<br /> <br /> One day after that, the haven has an 4.5% chance to detect the mission: it has 9 intel points in the pool (subtracting out the 22 needed for the required intel) times 2 per point, resulting in 18 discovery chance which means you'll have 4.5% chance to detect the mission every 6 hours. One day later, the haven has 18 points and has a 36 discovery chance (9% to detect every 6 hours).<br /> <br /> == Types of Missions ==<br /> <br /> The type of mission affects a variety of factors: what the primary objective is, what type of rewards will be received, how long the squad has to complete the objective, how strong of a force the enemy will tend to field relative to other missions in the region, whether the squad starts concealed or not, and even where the squad can extract from.<br /> <br /> Perhaps the most important factor is whether or not a squad needs to infiltrate or not, and how long the squad has to do it. For more information on infiltration mechanics, see the [[Infiltration (LW2) | Infiltration]] page for details.<br /> <br /> === Guerrilla Operations ===<br /> <br /> These missions will generate regularly regardless of ADVENT activity in a region. XCOM will infiltrate some city and complete some useful objective, typically acquiring personnel and/or intel in the process.<br /> <br /> * Jailbreak – XCOM must infiltrate an ADVENT jail and rescue 2-4 prisoners. Success will add them to the region's Haven. At least one must be saved for the mission to be a success (any others are optional/extra). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> ** Prisoners can be new soldiers if the region already has a large number of rebels.<br /> <br /> * Rescue VIP - Two variants;<br /> ** XCOM must lead a VIP (a soldier, scientist, or engineer) to the extraction point. ''No concealment''.<br /> ** XCOM must secure a vehicle containing the VIP, free them, then lead them to the extraction point. ''Concealed Start''<br /> <br /> * Hack a Workstation - XCOM must hack a particular workstation. Awards intel upon completion. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === Retaliation Missions ===<br /> <br /> Retaliation missions trigger with increasing frequency and severity as XCOM takes action in a particular region and draws attention towards it. Retaliation missions have no infiltration timer. The Haven Advisor of a region, if a soldier, will typically be present at these missions, alongside various resistance personnel outfitted with the basic weapons and equipment that rookie XCOM personnel deploy with.<br /> <br /> * Rendezvous: When XCOM rescues or recruits resistance members, there is a chance that they may be Faceless; when Faceless disguised as members of the Resistance is detected as they go to meet with their ADVENT handlers, Resistance personnel from the local haven will deploy to the scene and hunt them down. You will not be able to arm or equip a squad to this mission. XCOM must detect Faceless by stationing a soldier as the Haven advisor. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> * Supply Raid: XCOM must deploy a squad to defend a supply convoy and its Resistance personnel from ADVENT attacks. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Intel Raid: ADVENT attacks a Resistance listening post and XCOM must deploy a squad to defend its equipment and Resistance personnel. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Recruitment Raid: ADVENT forces attack Resistance recruiters within a region. XCOM must deploy a squad and extract those Resistance members. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Full Retaliation: XCOM must defend the Haven and it's Resistance members against an onslaught of ADVENT forces until the Skyranger can get into position for extraction. This mission usually comes in two parts.<br /> ** '''Retaliation 1''': This will be a destroy the relay mission but the briefing will state that Advent is searching for the haven and that you need to prevent a '''DATA LEAK'''. Completing this mission keeps the haven safe. (If you don't detect this mission, you go straight to a full retaliation.)<br /> ** '''Full retaliation (Retaliation 2)''': XCom must defend the Haven. This mission comes in two different flavours:<br /> :# Many ADVENT in the AO trying to kill members of your resistance haven. You must rush to kill them to save resistance members. This mission can yield corpses.<br /> :# ADVENT drops unlimited reinforcements and you must rally all resistance members and soldiers to the EVAC zone to save them. This mission will not yield corpses.<br /> <br /> * Region Invasion: ADVENT attempts to retake a liberated region by assaulting a city center. XCOM must destroy a psionic relay that summons continuous reinforcements, then eliminate any remaining forces. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> === Liberation Missions ===<br /> <br /> As part of its attempts to liberate a region from ADVENT control, XCOM will conduct a set sequence of five operations. The early missions are difficult to detect and the later missions receive an substantial bonus to activity level, over and above the strength value of the region.<br /> <br /> * '''Liberation 1:''' Hacking Guerrilla Op. The mission objectives won't actually have the word "liberation" in the title. But you can tell Liberation 1 from the rewards. It will just be a certain amount of Intel (with no listed Intel package). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 2:''' Rescue Defector. XCOM must rescue a VIP from a city location and move to the extraction point. ''Not Concealed''.<br /> * '''Liberation 3:''' There are at least 2 possible mission types. Either mission type you get will have "Liberation" as part of the objective. Now do take note, Lib3 will also have an Advent strength bonus (above the regional base) meaning the baseline activity will be a decent amount higher as well as the tech you'll be facing. So go in nice and prepared for this one. <br /> **Dark VIP mission (which seems to be more common) - There is also a high probability that the civilians on the map are Faceless<br /> **Destroy the Relay mission. <br /> * '''Liberation 4''' - Regional Network Tower Liberation: XCOM must deploy to and liberate an advent network tower. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. A small squad (up to five soldiers) must hack a console at the far end of the map. Doing so disables the reinforcement timer and stuns all remaining enemies. The mission ends only when there are no remaining enemies, and reinforcements will come rapidly once the alarm is raised. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 5''' - ADVENT Facility Assault: XCOM must deploy to and overtake a well-defended ADVENT facility. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> Note that failing or skipping a liberation mission does not reset the path. You'll just have to detect it again (unless it's the tower or base, which are persistent once you unlock them).<br /> <br /> == Collecting Enemy Corpses ==<br /> Long War 2 uses the correct term for military equipment and supplies: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materiel materiel].<br /> <br /> Most missions in Long War 2 require you to evacuate and you do not keep the bodies of fallen Advent or Aliens. As corpses are much more valuable in Long War 2 players should make special consideration for missions which do allow them to keep the corpses of fallen foes.<br /> <br /> The following mission types allow collection of enemy materiel:<br /> * Ambush troop column: These missions are the only way to actively reduce ADVENT strength in a region.<br /> * Supply convoy ambush: Alloys you to destroy ADVENT troops about to reinforce a region, this prevents ADVENT strength from increasing.<br /> * Invasion<br /> * Rendezvous<br /> * Regional HQ assault<br /> <br /> ===Strategy===<br /> As Vahlen has taught us, explosives destroy all recoverable materiel when delivering the killing blow as both a possible loot drop and the corpse will be destroyed. Flamethrowers also destroy corpses if the initial hit kills the target, though burning damage will leave a collectible corpse and drop timed loot if carried. Consider using the Needle Grenades perk for grenadiers if you are in need of explosives use.<br /> <br /> It may be beneficial to sabotage your infiltration percentage to increase the enemy presence if you feel you will be victorious. You are allowed to start any infiltration mission early from the geoscape. Note that enemy readiness will also be boosted if you begin prematurely, increasing their detection range, evac delay, and reinforcements strength.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Missions (LW2)| ]]</div>

The mission is not visible at this time; the local haven must collect enough intel to reveal the mission. Assigning more resistance members to the "intel" job can make missions considerably easier by discovering missions earlier and allowing more time to infiltrate. A mission's expiration timer starts when it is created, not when it is discovered; most infiltration missions have a base duration of 18 days, which is randomized by a few days each time a mission is created. <br /> <br /> Havens each generate "intel points" from having personnel assigned to intel gathering. These points are applied to undiscovered missions in the region at certain update intervals, currently 4 times a day (every 6 hours). Each mission keeps a pool of collected intel points. The difficulty of discovering a certain type of mission is controlled by two numbers: "required intel" and "discovery chance". A mission cannot be detected until you generate intel equal to the "required intel" value. Once the minimum is reached there is a random chance (1/4 of discovery chance) to discover the mission at every update. The probability is based on the mission's "percent chance" stat, multiplied by the number of intel points collected past the required minimum.<br /> <br /> In the table below, a basic level-0 resistance member is defined as one "intel point" per day. A level-1 resistance member is worth 1.5 points, a level-2 is worth 2, and the Avenger scanning is worth 4. A scientist assigned as haven liaison adds an extra 20% bonus to the entire haven. Each faceless reduces overall intel point generation by 3/5/6/7% depending on difficulty (regardless of what job the faceless is doing).<br /> <br /> {|class="wikitable"<br /> |'''Category'''<br /> !Research!!Data!!VIP!!Prisoners!!Liberation 1<br /> |-<br /> |'''Mission Types'''<br /> |Hacking<br /> |Hacking, Destroy<br /> |Rescue/Extract<br /> |Jailbreak<br /> |Hacking<br /> |-<br /> |'''Required intel''' (points)<br /> |24||1||12||8||22<br /> |-<br /> |'''Discovery Chance''' (per point)<br /> |0.85%||1.75%||0.9%||1.4%||2%<br /> |}<br /> <br /> '''Example:''' A haven with six level-0 resistance members and one level-1 assigned to intel, plus a scientist liaison, generates 9 "points" per day. The first mission in the liberation chain spawns. The haven can't detect this mission until it generates 22 points, which takes just under 2.5 days.<br /> <br /> One day after that, the haven has an 4.5% chance to detect the mission: it has 9 intel points in the pool (subtracting out the 22 needed for the required intel) times 2 per point, resulting in 18 discovery chance which means you'll have 4.5% chance to detect the mission every 6 hours. One day later, the haven has 18 points and has a 36 discovery chance (9% to detect every 6 hours).<br /> <br /> == Types of Missions ==<br /> <br /> The type of mission affects a variety of factors: what the primary objective is, what type of rewards will be received, how long the squad has to complete the objective, how strong of a force the enemy will tend to field relative to other missions in the region, whether the squad starts concealed or not, and even where the squad can extract from.<br /> <br /> Perhaps the most important factor is whether or not a squad needs to infiltrate or not, and how long the squad has to do it. For more information on infiltration mechanics, see the [[Infiltration (LW2) | Infiltration]] page for details.<br /> <br /> === Guerrilla Operations ===<br /> <br /> These missions will generate regularly regardless of ADVENT activity in a region. XCOM will infiltrate some city and complete some useful objective, typically acquiring personnel and/or intel in the process.<br /> <br /> * Jailbreak – XCOM must infiltrate an ADVENT jail and rescue 2-4 prisoners. Success will add them to the region's Haven. At least one must be saved for the mission to be a success (any others are optional/extra). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> ** Prisoners can be new soldiers if the region already has a large number of rebels.<br /> <br /> * Rescue VIP - Two variants;<br /> ** XCOM must lead a VIP (a soldier, scientist, or engineer) to the extraction point. ''No concealment''.<br /> ** XCOM must secure a vehicle containing the VIP, free them, then lead them to the extraction point. ''Concealed Start''<br /> <br /> * Hack a Workstation - XCOM must hack a particular workstation. Awards intel upon completion. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === Retaliation Missions ===<br /> <br /> Retaliation missions trigger with increasing frequency and severity as XCOM takes action in a particular region and draws attention towards it. Retaliation missions have no infiltration timer. The Haven Advisor of a region, if a soldier, will typically be present at these missions, alongside various resistance personnel outfitted with the basic weapons and equipment that rookie XCOM personnel deploy with.<br /> <br /> * Rendezvous: When XCOM rescues or recruits resistance members, there is a chance that they may be Faceless; when Faceless disguised as members of the Resistance is detected as they go to meet with their ADVENT handlers, Resistance personnel from the local haven will deploy to the scene and hunt them down. You will not be able to arm or equip a squad to this mission. XCOM must detect Faceless by stationing a soldier as the Haven advisor. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> * Supply Raid: XCOM must deploy a squad to defend a supply convoy and its Resistance personnel from ADVENT attacks. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Intel Raid: ADVENT attacks a Resistance listening post and XCOM must deploy a squad to defend its equipment and Resistance personnel. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Recruitment Raid: ADVENT forces attack Resistance recruiters within a region. XCOM must deploy a squad and extract those Resistance members. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Full Retaliation: XCOM must defend the Haven and it's Resistance members against an onslaught of ADVENT forces until the Skyranger can get into position for extraction. This mission usually comes in two parts.<br /> ** '''Retaliation 1''': This will be a destroy the relay mission but the briefing will state that Advent is searching for the haven and that you need to prevent a '''DATA LEAK'''. Completing this mission keeps the haven safe. (If you don't detect this mission, you go straight to a full retaliation.)<br /> ** '''Full retaliation (Retaliation 2)''': XCom must defend the Haven. This mission comes in two different flavours:<br /> :# Many ADVENT in the AO trying to kill members of your resistance haven. You must rush to kill them to save resistance members. This mission can yield corpses.<br /> :# ADVENT drops unlimited reinforcements and you must rally all resistance members and soldiers to the EVAC zone to save them. This mission will not yield corpses.<br /> <br /> * Region Invasion: ADVENT attempts to retake a liberated region by assaulting a city center. XCOM must destroy a psionic relay that summons continuous reinforcements, then eliminate any remaining forces. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> === Liberation Missions ===<br /> <br /> As part of its attempts to liberate a region from ADVENT control, XCOM will conduct a set sequence of five operations. The early missions are difficult to detect and the later missions receive an substantial bonus to activity level, over and above the strength value of the region.<br /> <br /> * '''Liberation 1:''' Hacking Guerrilla Op. The mission objectives won't actually have the word "liberation" in the title. But you can tell Liberation 1 from the rewards. It will just be a certain amount of Intel (with no listed Intel package). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 2:''' Rescue Defector. XCOM must rescue a VIP from a city location and move to the extraction point. ''Not Concealed''.<br /> * '''Liberation 3:''' There are at least 2 possible mission types. Either mission type you get will have "Liberation" as part of the objective. Now do take note, Lib3 will also have an Advent strength bonus (above the regional base) meaning the baseline activity will be a decent amount higher as well as the tech you'll be facing. So go in nice and prepared for this one. <br /> **Dark VIP mission (which seems to be more common) - There is also a high probability that the civilians on the map are Faceless<br /> **Destroy the Relay mission. <br /> * '''Liberation 4''' - Regional Network Tower Liberation: XCOM must deploy to and liberate an advent network tower. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. A small squad (up to five soldiers) must hack a console at the far end of the map. Doing so disables the reinforcement timer and stuns all remaining enemies. The mission ends only when there are no remaining enemies, and reinforcements will come rapidly once the alarm is raised. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 5''' - ADVENT Facility Assault: XCOM must deploy to and overtake a well-defended ADVENT facility. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> Note that failing or skipping a liberation mission does not reset the path. You'll just have to detect it again (unless it's the tower or base, which are persistent once you unlock them).<br /> <br /> == Collecting Enemy Corpses ==<br /> Long War 2 uses the correct term for military equipment and supplies: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materiel materiel].<br /> <br /> Most missions in Long War 2 require you to evacuate and you do not keep the bodies of fallen Advent or Aliens. As corpses are much more valuable in Long War 2 players should make special consideration for missions which do allow them to keep the corpses of fallen foes.<br /> <br /> The following mission types allow collection of enemy materiel:<br /> * Ambush troop column: These missions are the only way to actively reduce ADVENT strength in a region.<br /> * Supply convoy ambush: Alloys you to destroy ADVENT troops about to reinforce a region, this prevents ADVENT strength from increasing.<br /> * Invasion<br /> * Rendezvous<br /> * Regional HQ assault<br /> <br /> ===Strategy===<br /> As Vahlen has taught us, explosives destroy all recoverable materiel when delivering the killing blow as both a possible loot drop and the corpse will be destroyed. Flamethrowers also destroy corpses if the initial hit kills the target, though burning damage will leave a collectible corpse and drop timed loot if carried. Consider using the Needle Grenades perk for grenadiers if you are in need of explosives use.<br /> <br /> It may be beneficial to sabotage your infiltration percentage to increase the enemy presence if you feel you will be victorious. You are allowed to start any infiltration mission early from the geoscape. Note that enemy readiness will also be boosted if you begin prematurely, increasing their detection range, evac delay, and reinforcements strength.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Missions (LW2)| ]]</div>

Activity Level is described as "light", "heavy", etc; these categories correspond to the table below. When preparing to infiltrate, '''base''' Enemy Activity is an estimation of the strength of the enemy forces you will encounter at 100% infiltration; the '''actual''' Enemy Activity level depends on your infiltration rate (for more information, see the [[Infiltration (LW2)|Infiltration]] page). In general, at 0% infiltration, enemy strength will be several steps higher than the baseline; at 200% infiltration, it will be a few steps lower, to a minimum of "Extremely Light". <br /> <br /> {|class="wikitable"<br /> !Activity Level<br /> !Enemy Units<br /> |-<br /> |Extremely Light <br /> |8-9*<br /> |-<br /> |Very Light <br /> |10-12<br /> |-<br /> |Light <br /> |13-15<br /> |-<br /> |Light-Moderate<br /> |16-18<br /> |-<br /> |Moderate<br /> |19-21<br /> |-<br /> |Moderate-Heavy<br /> |22-24<br /> |-<br /> |Heavy<br /> |25-27<br /> |-<br /> |Very Heavy<br /> |28-30<br /> |-<br /> |Extremely Heavy<br /> |31-33<br /> |-<br /> |Swarming<br /> |34+<br /> |}<br /> <nowiki>*</nowiki>Except for Smash N Grab, where only 7 enemies as solo drones are in most cases not possible on that mission type.<br /> <br /> ==Mission Table==<br /> <br /> This table compiles the information contained in LW2's configuration files regarding missions.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable sortable" width="100%" style="text-align: center<br /> !

''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 5''' - ADVENT Facility Assault: XCOM must deploy to and overtake a well-defended ADVENT facility. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> Note that failing or skipping a liberation mission does not reset the path. You'll just have to detect it again (unless it's the tower or base, which are persistent once you unlock them).<br /> <br /> == Collecting Enemy Corpses ==<br /> Long War 2 uses the correct term for military equipment and supplies: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materiel materiel].<br /> <br /> Most missions in Long War 2 require you to evacuate and you do not keep the bodies of fallen Advent or Aliens. As corpses are much more valuable in Long War 2 players should make special consideration for missions which do allow them to keep the corpses of fallen foes.<br /> <br /> The following mission types allow collection of enemy materiel:<br /> * Ambush troop column: These missions are the only way to actively reduce ADVENT strength in a region.<br /> * Supply convoy ambush: Alloys you to destroy ADVENT troops about to reinforce a region, this prevents ADVENT strength from increasing.<br /> * Invasion<br /> * Rendezvous<br /> * Regional HQ assault<br /> <br /> ===Strategy===<br /> As Vahlen has taught us, explosives destroy all recoverable materiel when delivering the killing blow as both a possible loot drop and the corpse will be destroyed. Flamethrowers also destroy corpses if the initial hit kills the target, though burning damage will leave a collectible corpse and drop timed loot if carried. Consider using the Needle Grenades perk for grenadiers if you are in need of explosives use.<br /> <br /> It may be beneficial to sabotage your infiltration percentage to increase the enemy presence if you feel you will be victorious. You are allowed to start any infiltration mission early from the geoscape. Note that enemy readiness will also be boosted if you begin prematurely, increasing their detection range, evac delay, and reinforcements strength.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Missions (LW2)| ]]</div>

Activity Level is described as "light", "heavy", etc; these categories correspond to the table below. When preparing to infiltrate, '''base''' Enemy Activity is an estimation of the strength of the enemy forces you will encounter at 100% infiltration; the '''actual''' Enemy Activity level depends on your infiltration rate (for more information, see the [[Infiltration (LW2)|Infiltration]] page).

Failing to complete the objective before the timer expires will result in failing the mission but you can still evac your soldiers.<br /> **Evac timers put an absolute limit on mission duration. Any soldier still on the map when the timer reaches 0 is lost (captured). When the timer reaches 1, the last turn start (there is no "0 turns left" turn).<br /> **Reinforcement timers are delays before increasingly strong reinforcements start dropping. You can still complete a mission after such a timer reaches zero but it will become harder with each wave. This timer starts only after you break concealment.<br /> **Several non timed missions (such as the Blacksite and Network Tower) include a hidden reinforcement timer.<br /> * Infiltration<br /> ** Yes - the squad can infiltrate the site to reduce enemy strength<br /> ** 100% - infiltration needs to reach at least this value before mission can be launched<br /> ** No - squad goes directly into combat, skipping infiltration<br /> ** Alerted - mission starts immediately, no squad concealment<br /> * Evacuation<br /> ** Evac Flare - squad can call the Skyranger to be able to evacuate the mission<br /> ** Fixed Exit - squad has to reach exit area<br /> ** Countdown Exit - squad has to wait until exit area becomes active<br /> * Loot - if yes, alien corpses and material will be recovered if the battle is won; if no, only actual 'item' loot (such as datapads) is recovered<br /> <br /> == Generating Missions ==<br /> <br /> Missions spawn automatically as the days pass, and expire after a given window of time. The mission is not visible at this time; the local haven must collect enough intel to reveal the mission. Assigning more resistance members to the "intel" job can make missions considerably easier by discovering missions earlier and allowing more time to infiltrate. A mission's expiration timer starts when it is created, not when it is discovered; most infiltration missions have a base duration of 18 days, which is randomized by a few days each time a mission is created. <br /> <br /> Havens each generate "intel points" from having personnel assigned to intel gathering. These points are applied to undiscovered missions in the region at certain update intervals, currently 4 times a day (every 6 hours). Each mission keeps a pool of collected intel points. The difficulty of discovering a certain type of mission is controlled by two numbers: "required intel" and "discovery chance". A mission cannot be detected until you generate intel equal to the "required intel" value. Once the minimum is reached there is a random chance (1/4 of discovery chance) to discover the mission at every update. The probability is based on the mission's "percent chance" stat, multiplied by the number of intel points collected past the required minimum.<br /> <br /> In the table below, a basic level-0 resistance member is defined as one "intel point" per day. A level-1 resistance member is worth 1.5 points, a level-2 is worth 2, and the Avenger scanning is worth 4. A scientist assigned as haven liaison adds an extra 20% bonus to the entire haven. Each faceless reduces overall intel point generation by 3/5/6/7% depending on difficulty (regardless of what job the faceless is doing).<br /> <br /> {|class="wikitable"<br /> |'''Category'''<br /> !Research!!Data!!VIP!!Prisoners!!Liberation 1<br /> |-<br /> |'''Mission Types'''<br /> |Hacking<br /> |Hacking, Destroy<br /> |Rescue/Extract<br /> |Jailbreak<br /> |Hacking<br /> |-<br /> |'''Required intel''' (points)<br /> |24||1||12||8||22<br /> |-<br /> |'''Discovery Chance''' (per point)<br /> |0.85%||1.75%||0.9%||1.4%||2%<br /> |}<br /> <br /> '''Example:''' A haven with six level-0 resistance members and one level-1 assigned to intel, plus a scientist liaison, generates 9 "points" per day. The first mission in the liberation chain spawns. The haven can't detect this mission until it generates 22 points, which takes just under 2.5 days.<br /> <br /> One day after that, the haven has an 4.5% chance to detect the mission: it has 9 intel points in the pool (subtracting out the 22 needed for the required intel) times 2 per point, resulting in 18 discovery chance which means you'll have 4.5% chance to detect the mission every 6 hours. One day later, the haven has 18 points and has a 36 discovery chance (9% to detect every 6 hours).<br /> <br /> == Types of Missions ==<br /> <br /> The type of mission affects a variety of factors: what the primary objective is, what type of rewards will be received, how long the squad has to complete the objective, how strong of a force the enemy will tend to field relative to other missions in the region, whether the squad starts concealed or not, and even where the squad can extract from.<br /> <br /> Perhaps the most important factor is whether or not a squad needs to infiltrate or not, and how long the squad has to do it. For more information on infiltration mechanics, see the [[Infiltration (LW2) | Infiltration]] page for details.<br /> <br /> === Guerrilla Operations ===<br /> <br /> These missions will generate regularly regardless of ADVENT activity in a region. XCOM will infiltrate some city and complete some useful objective, typically acquiring personnel and/or intel in the process.<br /> <br /> * Jailbreak – XCOM must infiltrate an ADVENT jail and rescue 2-4 prisoners. Success will add them to the region's Haven. At least one must be saved for the mission to be a success (any others are optional/extra). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> ** Prisoners can be new soldiers if the region already has a large number of rebels.<br /> <br /> * Rescue VIP - Two variants;<br /> ** XCOM must lead a VIP (a soldier, scientist, or engineer) to the extraction point. ''No concealment''.<br /> ** XCOM must secure a vehicle containing the VIP, free them, then lead them to the extraction point. ''Concealed Start''<br /> <br /> * Hack a Workstation - XCOM must hack a particular workstation. Awards intel upon completion. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === Retaliation Missions ===<br /> <br /> Retaliation missions trigger with increasing frequency and severity as XCOM takes action in a particular region and draws attention towards it. Retaliation missions have no infiltration timer. The Haven Advisor of a region, if a soldier, will typically be present at these missions, alongside various resistance personnel outfitted with the basic weapons and equipment that rookie XCOM personnel deploy with.<br /> <br /> * Rendezvous: When XCOM rescues or recruits resistance members, there is a chance that they may be Faceless; when Faceless disguised as members of the Resistance is detected as they go to meet with their ADVENT handlers, Resistance personnel from the local haven will deploy to the scene and hunt them down. You will not be able to arm or equip a squad to this mission. XCOM must detect Faceless by stationing a soldier as the Haven advisor. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> * Supply Raid: XCOM must deploy a squad to defend a supply convoy and its Resistance personnel from ADVENT attacks. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Intel Raid: ADVENT attacks a Resistance listening post and XCOM must deploy a squad to defend its equipment and Resistance personnel. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Recruitment Raid: ADVENT forces attack Resistance recruiters within a region. XCOM must deploy a squad and extract those Resistance members. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Full Retaliation: XCOM must defend the Haven and it's Resistance members against an onslaught of ADVENT forces until the Skyranger can get into position for extraction. This mission usually comes in two parts.<br /> ** '''Retaliation 1''': This will be a destroy the relay mission but the briefing will state that Advent is searching for the haven and that you need to prevent a '''DATA LEAK'''. Completing this mission keeps the haven safe. (If you don't detect this mission, you go straight to a full retaliation.)<br /> ** '''Full retaliation (Retaliation 2)''': XCom must defend the Haven. This mission comes in two different flavours:<br /> :# Many ADVENT in the AO trying to kill members of your resistance haven. You must rush to kill them to save resistance members. This mission can yield corpses.<br /> :# ADVENT drops unlimited reinforcements and you must rally all resistance members and soldiers to the EVAC zone to save them. This mission will not yield corpses.<br /> <br /> * Region Invasion: ADVENT attempts to retake a liberated region by assaulting a city center. XCOM must destroy a psionic relay that summons continuous reinforcements, then eliminate any remaining forces. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> === Liberation Missions ===<br /> <br /> As part of its attempts to liberate a region from ADVENT control, XCOM will conduct a set sequence of five operations. The early missions are difficult to detect and the later missions receive an substantial bonus to activity level, over and above the strength value of the region.<br /> <br /> * '''Liberation 1:''' Hacking Guerrilla Op. The mission objectives won't actually have the word "liberation" in the title. But you can tell Liberation 1 from the rewards. It will just be a certain amount of Intel (with no listed Intel package). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 2:''' Rescue Defector. XCOM must rescue a VIP from a city location and move to the extraction point. ''Not Concealed''.<br /> * '''Liberation 3:''' There are at least 2 possible mission types. Either mission type you get will have "Liberation" as part of the objective. Now do take note, Lib3 will also have an Advent strength bonus (above the regional base) meaning the baseline activity will be a decent amount higher as well as the tech you'll be facing. So go in nice and prepared for this one. <br /> **Dark VIP mission (which seems to be more common) - There is also a high probability that the civilians on the map are Faceless<br /> **Destroy the Relay mission. <br /> * '''Liberation 4''' - Regional Network Tower Liberation: XCOM must deploy to and liberate an advent network tower. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. A small squad (up to five soldiers) must hack a console at the far end of the map. Doing so disables the reinforcement timer and stuns all remaining enemies. The mission ends only when there are no remaining enemies, and reinforcements will come rapidly once the alarm is raised. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 5''' - ADVENT Facility Assault: XCOM must deploy to and overtake a well-defended ADVENT facility. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> Note that failing or skipping a liberation mission does not reset the path. You'll just have to detect it again (unless it's the tower or base, which are persistent once you unlock them).<br /> <br /> == Collecting Enemy Corpses ==<br /> Long War 2 uses the correct term for military equipment and supplies: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materiel materiel].<br /> <br /> Most missions in Long War 2 require you to evacuate and you do not keep the bodies of fallen Advent or Aliens. As corpses are much more valuable in Long War 2 players should make special consideration for missions which do allow them to keep the corpses of fallen foes.<br /> <br /> The following mission types allow collection of enemy materiel:<br /> * Ambush troop column: These missions are the only way to actively reduce ADVENT strength in a region.<br /> * Supply convoy ambush: Alloys you to destroy ADVENT troops about to reinforce a region, this prevents ADVENT strength from increasing.<br /> * Invasion<br /> * Rendezvous<br /> * Regional HQ assault<br /> <br /> ===Strategy===<br /> As Vahlen has taught us, explosives destroy all recoverable materiel when delivering the killing blow as both a possible loot drop and the corpse will be destroyed. Flamethrowers also destroy corpses if the initial hit kills the target, though burning damage will leave a collectible corpse and drop timed loot if carried. Consider using the Needle Grenades perk for grenadiers if you are in need of explosives use.<br /> <br /> It may be beneficial to sabotage your infiltration percentage to increase the enemy presence if you feel you will be victorious. You are allowed to start any infiltration mission early from the geoscape. Note that enemy readiness will also be boosted if you begin prematurely, increasing their detection range, evac delay, and reinforcements strength.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Missions (LW2)| ]]</div>

''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Recruitment Raid: ADVENT forces attack Resistance recruiters within a region. XCOM must deploy a squad and extract those Resistance members. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> * Full Retaliation: XCOM must defend the Haven and it's Resistance members against an onslaught of ADVENT forces until the Skyranger can get into position for extraction. This mission usually comes in two parts.<br /> ** '''Retaliation 1''': This will be a destroy the relay mission but the briefing will state that Advent is searching for the haven and that you need to prevent a '''DATA LEAK'''. Completing this mission keeps the haven safe. (If you don't detect this mission, you go straight to a full retaliation.)<br /> ** '''Full retaliation (Retaliation 2)''': XCom must defend the Haven. This mission comes in two different flavours:<br /> :# Many ADVENT in the AO trying to kill members of your resistance haven. You must rush to kill them to save resistance members. This mission can yield corpses.<br /> :# ADVENT drops unlimited reinforcements and you must rally all resistance members and soldiers to the EVAC zone to save them. This mission will not yield corpses.<br /> <br /> * Region Invasion: ADVENT attempts to retake a liberated region by assaulting a city center. XCOM must destroy a psionic relay that summons continuous reinforcements, then eliminate any remaining forces. ''No concealment''.<br /> <br /> === Liberation Missions ===<br /> <br /> As part of its attempts to liberate a region from ADVENT control, XCOM will conduct a set sequence of five operations. The early missions are difficult to detect and the later missions receive an substantial bonus to activity level, over and above the strength value of the region.<br /> <br /> * '''Liberation 1:''' Hacking Guerrilla Op. The mission objectives won't actually have the word "liberation" in the title. But you can tell Liberation 1 from the rewards. It will just be a certain amount of Intel (with no listed Intel package). ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 2:''' Rescue Defector. XCOM must rescue a VIP from a city location and move to the extraction point. ''Not Concealed''.<br /> * '''Liberation 3:''' There are at least 2 possible mission types. Either mission type you get will have "Liberation" as part of the objective. Now do take note, Lib3 will also have an Advent strength bonus (above the regional base) meaning the baseline activity will be a decent amount higher as well as the tech you'll be facing. So go in nice and prepared for this one. <br /> **Dark VIP mission (which seems to be more common) - There is also a high probability that the civilians on the map are Faceless<br /> **Destroy the Relay mission. <br /> * '''Liberation 4''' - Regional Network Tower Liberation: XCOM must deploy to and liberate an advent network tower. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. A small squad (up to five soldiers) must hack a console at the far end of the map. Doing so disables the reinforcement timer and stuns all remaining enemies. The mission ends only when there are no remaining enemies, and reinforcements will come rapidly once the alarm is raised. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> * '''Liberation 5''' - ADVENT Facility Assault: XCOM must deploy to and overtake a well-defended ADVENT facility. This will not expire once unlocked, and is quite difficult. ''Concealed Start''.<br /> <br /> Note that failing or skipping a liberation mission does not reset the path. You'll just have to detect it again (unless it's the tower or base, which are persistent once you unlock them).<br /> <br /> == Collecting Enemy Corpses ==<br /> Long War 2 uses the correct term for military equipment and supplies: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materiel materiel].<br /> <br /> Most missions in Long War 2 require you to evacuate and you do not keep the bodies of fallen Advent or Aliens. As corpses are much more valuable in Long War 2 players should make special consideration for missions which do allow them to keep the corpses of fallen foes.<br /> <br /> The following mission types allow collection of enemy materiel:<br /> * Ambush troop column: These missions are the only way to actively reduce ADVENT strength in a region.<br /> * Supply convoy ambush: Alloys you to destroy ADVENT troops about to reinforce a region, this prevents ADVENT strength from increasing.<br /> * Invasion<br /> * Rendezvous<br /> * Regional HQ assault<br /> <br /> ===Strategy===<br /> As Vahlen has taught us, explosives destroy all recoverable materiel when delivering the killing blow as both a possible loot drop and the corpse will be destroyed. Flamethrowers also destroy corpses if the initial hit kills the target, though burning damage will leave a collectible corpse and drop timed loot if carried. Consider using the Needle Grenades perk for grenadiers if you are in need of explosives use.<br /> <br /> It may be beneficial to sabotage your infiltration percentage to increase the enemy presence if you feel you will be victorious. You are allowed to start any infiltration mission early from the geoscape. Note that enemy readiness will also be boosted if you begin prematurely, increasing their detection range, evac delay, and reinforcements strength.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Missions (LW2)| ]]</div>

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85309 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-11-05T21:47:54Z

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85294 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-11-04T10:47:28Z

<p>Executor: Several corrections</p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85293 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-11-04T10:32:37Z

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85292 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-11-04T10:24:01Z

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85050 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-05-28T19:25:28Z

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85049 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-05-28T18:44:26Z

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85048 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-05-28T18:43:51Z

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

Executor https://temp.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=ADVENT%27s_Agenda_(LW2)&diff=85047 ADVENT's Agenda (LW2) 2017-05-28T18:42:20Z

<p>Executor: Updated for 1.4</p> <hr /> <div><br /> While ADVENT's primary goal of completing the AVATAR Project is the same in LW 2 as the vanilla game, a number of changes have been introduced on how ADVENT (a.k.a. Strategic AI) will achieve its agenda, and how it will react to XCOM's attempts to stop the project. The major difference now is that ADVENT will conduct specific operations, or Activities, on any of the 16 world regions that will result in missions for XCOM. Each Activity has specific requirements and different results, depending on if ADVENT completes the activity or if the Resistance is able to detect and win the missions generated. <br /> <br /> == AVATAR Project ==<br /> <br /> The AVATAR project's progress is unknown to the player initially but has been increased from 12 to 20 'pips' required before ADVENT can win the game. To uncover the 'Doom Meter', a player must complete a series of missions to [[Missions (LW2)#Liberation Missions|liberate]] a region for the first time.<br /> <br /> In order to generate the necessary research to complete the AVATAR project, ADVENT will build facilities throughout the world that will generate additional pips. XCOM can stop this process by either detecting the initial construction missions and winning them, or by assaulting the facility after it is build. However, the detection of an existing alien facility now requires either receiving a Facility Lead as a mission reward, or by the Resistance personnel on the havens generating enough intel. <br /> <br /> ADVENT's progress on completing the AVATAR project can be delayed or accelerated by the Global Vigilance/Global Alert (GV/GA) values:<br /> * After 3 Facilities are built, ADVENT will only build additional ones if the GV level isn't too superior to the Global Alert value (not safe to build new installations)<br /> * If the GV is superior to the GA it will also delay by 10 hours the completion of a new 'pip' to the AVATAR progress bar for each 1 point of the difference between the GV/GA values<br /> <br /> == ADVENT's Strategy ==<br /> <br /> When determining the Activities that it will conduct on any of the 16 world regions to advance its goals, ADVENT's has 3 main variables determining its actions: Force (unit quality), Alert (unit quantity), and Vigilance (alarm caused by Resistance activities). These are further explained below. Each variable can also be expressed as global, reflecting the general situation, or as regional, representing the local values for each of the 16 regions.<br /> <br /> ===Force Level===<br /> <br /> Force represents the type of units that ADVENT will deploy during missions. This value has a defined range of 1-20 and it will periodically increase by +1 when ADVENT completes the Activity called 'Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements'. This ADVENT build-up of more powerful and dangerous units cannot be stopped or even delayed. <br /> <br /> The Scheduled Off World Reinforcements activity appears 21/18/14 days after the start of a campaign, depending on difficulty level. This activity has a cool down period of 16 days, which means that the maximum Force level 20 is reached between 325-316 days after game starts. <br /> <br /> ====Force Mechanics====<br /> The Force level is always the same for all regions. All regions start with a Regional Force (RF) value of 1, and the Total Force level is the sum of all regions, or 16 at start and the automatic increases are applied to all regions at once.<br /> * The Force level determines when additional soldiers appear on the Black Market, with the 2nd soldier available when Force level 7 is reached and the 3rd soldier unlocked at level 15, making those appearances as reliable indicators for when those two Force levels are reached, if XCOM hasn't faced those new improved ADVENT units on the field yet. <br /> * The cost of Black Market personnel is also increased by 7.5% for each Force level raise of 1.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Force Level====<br /> * A low Force level gives a bonus to the detection of missions at the start of a campaign on Rookie and Veteran difficulties, although this advantage doesn't last long as the Force level gradually increases. <br /> * The Force level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements +1<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 18 force level, regardless of the Global Force level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> <br /> === Alert Level===<br /> <br /> Despite its name, Alert refers to the number of troops available for ADVENT to use in missions, or to move to between regions by using the Reinforce Activity. ADVENT will also regularly increase its Alert numbers by bringing regularly emergency offworld reinforcements. The Regional Alert (RA) values are on Geoscape on each region's name, as 'ADVENT Strength', and the Global Alert (GA) level is the sum of all RAs and it is displayed as 'ADVENT's Legions' on the Resistance Management tab on the Commander's Quarters on the Avenger. <br /> <br /> The RA determines the baseline difficulty regarding the number of ADVENT units encountered on missions in each region: each level of alert increases [[Infiltration (LW2)#Enemy Strength | base mission activity level]] by one category, in addition to mission and activity-specific modifiers.<br /> <br /> While XCOM might be able to contain or even reduce ADVENT's numbers by detecting and winning specific missions, it is impossible to win by trying to reduce Global Alert to a zero - ADVENT can always summon more troops than the Resistance can destroy them, and the AVATAR project will eventually be completed. <br /> <br /> ====Alert Mechanics====<br /> <br /> * All regions start with a Regional Alert of at least 1, except on Legendary where RA is level 2.<br /> * Global Alert starting level is 15/20/30/40 for each difficulty level.<br /> * There are 3 activities that ADVENT uses to create new legions and move them, although all can only appear from April onwards:<br /> ** The Reinforce Activity, made by land which results in a Supply Raid if detected by XCOM, will transfer 1 point of Alert level between regions if the activity is completed successfully. ADVENT will not reinforce a region through this method if its Alert level is already 15 or superior. <br /> ** The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity is made by a UFO and will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. Despite its name, this activity happens regularly and has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level.<br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions. This activity is triggered when the Global Vigilance exceeds the Global Alert value by 20 points. <br /> <br /> ====Missions and Alert Level====<br /> * If XCOM detects and prevents the Troop Maneuvers Activity/Mission, will reduce the region's Alert level by +1.<br /> * Liberating a region will destroy up to 4 points of the RA value, but any remaining troops will be distributed by the other regions still under ADVENT's control.<br /> * The Emergency Offworld Reinforcements Activity has a cool-down period of 14/12/10/8 days depending on the difficulty level. It will raise the Alert level by +1 in the region they take place and also +1 on an adjacent region. <br /> * The Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements has a cool-off period of 21 days for all difficulty levels and it will give +2 Alert on the region and +1 Alert on 2 adjacent regions.<br /> * The Alert level for each mission can also be modified by certain ADVENT Activities: <br /> ** Liberation: Rescue a Defector and Liberation: Hinder ADVENT Operations missions have a +3 modifier<br /> ** Reinforcements (Supply Raid missions) +3<br /> ** Scheduled Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +1<br /> ** Super Emergency Offworld Reinforcements (UFO mission) +2<br /> ** Snare +1<br /> ** Foothold always generates missions with 12 alert level, regardless of the Global Alert level<br /> ** Rendezvous -2<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Alert levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> <br /> === Vigilance Level===<br /> <br /> Vigilance represents ADVENT's concern about XCOM/Resistance activities. This indicator is the most affected by the results of missions, since XCOM's successes will raise regional (and global) Vigilance, which will then trigger additional ADVENT Activities to deal with the Resistance, such as Counterinsurgency which result in Defend/Terror missions. High Vigilance levels will also stop missions from appearing like Jailbreak or free VIPs, as ADVENT increases its security measures on the alarmed region. <br /> <br /> ====Vigilance Mechanics====<br /> <br /> Vigilance is represented by the Global Vigilance (GV) level, consisting of the sum of all Regional Vigilance (RV) levels. This is then converted to Net Global Vigilance by subtracting the Global Alert (GA) level. That is: NetGV = GV - GA. Conceptually, the net global vigilance is a measure of whether the aliens have over-extended by focusing too much on the resistance: high values mean ADVENT is dealing with more problems than they have troops, while low values means ADVENT has plenty of troops to deal with the rebel threat.<br /> <br /> Net Global Vigilance is indicated on the Resistance Management tab as 'Global Resistance Threat'. This provides a general range of the net global vigilance, and thus the raw global vigilance (by simple math). These labels correspond to the NetGV level, with each step representing +10 additional Net Global Vigilance:<br /> * Low (NetGV value below -10)<br /> * Guarded (NetGV between -10 and 0)<br /> * Elevated (0 to 10)<br /> ** At Elevated and above, i.e. when Net Global Vigilance is above 0, the AVATAR project progresses more slowly. Each point of Net Global Vigilance increases the time to generate a new AVATAR point by 10 hours.<br /> * High (10 to 20)<br /> * Severe (20 to 30)<br /> ** At Severe and above, the aliens gain access to a "Super Reinforcements" activity which creates twice as many Alert points.<br /> ** ''TODO: Does this replace the normal reinforcement activity or does it allow two reinforcements at once?''<br /> * Extreme (above 30)<br /> <br /> The initial value of the GV is determined randomly at start and it can vary between 16-39 points, and the starting values for each regional RV can vary between 1-4.<br /> <br /> '''Additional Information'''<br /> * Regional Vigilance decays automatically by 1 point every 7 days, so if a region is empty of any XCOM activity it will eventually return on a less alarmed status.<br /> <br /> ====Missions and Vigilance Level====<br /> <br /> * XCOM successful missions in a region increase RV by +1, failures have no effect<br /> * If the mission was created by ADVENT's Propaganda Activity, such as a Destroy Monument or Neutralize Target missions, completing it will increase the RV value by +3<br /> * Some missions, like Supply Raids, Troop Maneuvers or Retaliations, will also reduce RV by 1 if completed successfully, cancelling out the automatic RV increase<br /> ** XCOM failure on the Retaliation missions will also reduce RV by either 2 or 4 points, depending on the mission<br /> ** Success in Troop Maneuvers will decrease RV on the region, but there's a 50% chance of increasing RV by +1 on an adjacent region<br /> * If a region's Vigilance value exceeds the its Alert value, then ADVENT will try to bring additional troops into the region, either through the Reinforce or the Emergency Offworld Reinforcements activities.<br /> * Certain ADVENT Activities will also require specific Vigilance levels (min and/or max) to be activated<br /> * Liberating a region removes all vigilance from the region, increases vigilance by 3 in each adjacent region, and increases it by 1 in every other region.<br /> <br /> ==ADVENT Activities==<br /> <br /> The missions in Long War 2 are defined through ADVENT activities, which are performed by the aliens on each regional to achieve their goals, which will then result in tactical missions, if the alien activity is detected by the Resistance. <br /> <br /> Each Activity can have several settings or requirements for it to be activated:<br /> * Priority - weight for mission to be chosen<br /> * Rebel Income - amount of detection collected by rebels with Intel jobs for the mission to be detected<br /> * Detection - daily pct of the mission being detected, once the Rebel Income requirement is achieved<br /> * Force & Alert Modifiers - the effect the activity will have on the ADVENT Regional Force and Alert levels during any mission(s) it generates<br /> * Min/Max Vigilance - the range of Regional Vigilance values required for ADVENT to activate the Activity in a region<br /> * Min/Max Alert - the range of Regional Alert values, as the previous setting<br /> * Mission Tree - the number and sequence of missions generated by the Activity. In some cases (Liberation) it is required to complete the initial missions to unlock the rest of of the missions on the tree, while in other Activities like Invasion, detecting and completing the first mission will prevent the other missions on the tree from taking place. <br /> * Mission Families - the type of missions that can generated (chosen randomly) for each step of the Mission Tree<br /> * Duration - the amount of hours that the mission can be detected, once it is active. After it is detected the remaining time is the time available to infiltrate the mission (if infiltration is possible). <br /> * EVAC Modifier - the number of turns added to Skyranger evacuation during missions spawned by this Activity<br /> * Infiltration Modifier - the number of hours added/removed from infiltration requirements for any missions generated by this Activity<br /> <br /> ===Activity Tables===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Liberation activities''' allow XCOM to free a region from the aliens' control. Every alien-controlled region has a liberation activity present at all times: if the mission expires without being detected (or is attempted and failed) then it will immediately respawn.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> {| class="wikitable" width="100%" style="text-align: center;"<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''AI Activity'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Priority'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Rebel Income'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Discovery'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Alert Mod'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Tree'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Mission Families'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Duration'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Infiltration Modifier'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Notes'''<br /> | align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Internal Name'''<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 1)||3||110||40||||0||Recover, Hack||216+24|||||| Protect Region Early<br /> |-<br /> |Liberation (part 2)||4||135||35||1||0||Extract, Rescue||192+48||||||Protect Region Mid<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan="3" | Liberation (part 3)|| rowspan="3" | 5|| rowspan="3" | 160|| rowspan="3" | 30|| rowspan="3" | 2 || 0<br /> |Neutralize, Destroy Object|| 192+24||||||rowspan="3"|ProtectRegion<br /> |-<br /> | 1||Assault Network Tower||Infinite||24|| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |-<br /> | 2||Assault Alien Base||Infinite|||| Requires 100% Infiltration<br /> |}<br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''Rebel activities''' are common missions that help build the resistance.

For example, Sectoid Autopsy requires and consumes 10 Sectoid Corpses.<br /> * Autopsies now require other research projects before they can be started. For example, Xenobiology is required to perform Sectoid Autopsy.<br /> * Interrogations now require the autopsy project for the same species. For example, Sectoid Autopsy is required to perform Sectoid Interrogation.<br /> * Most Psi Powers now require specific research projects before they can be learned. For example, Sectoid Interrogation is required to learn Mind Fray.<br /> * Aliens now have various perks. Autopsies are required to inspect aliens of the same species and see their perks. For example, once Sectoid Autopsy has been performed, players can target a Sectoid, and press F1 to inspect them.<br /> * UFOs that have been successfully assaulted can now be analyzed, providing your ships with a damage bonus against these UFOs.<br /> * All council requests except Satellites now require specific research projects to be completed. For example, council members will not request Sectoid Corpses before Xenobiology has been researched.<br /> * South America's continent bonus no longer makes autopsies and interrogations instantaneous. It instead affects the cost to build and maintain power generators.<br /> <br /><br /> ==Notes==<br /> The duration listed for all research projects is the duration for 30 scientists with no [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], adjacency bonus or research credits.<br /> * Having less than 30 scientists increases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 15 scientists, the actual duration is double that of the listed value.<br /> * Having more than 30 scientists decreases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 50 scientists, the actual duration is half that of the listed value.<br /> * [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] increase the research speed by 20%.<br /> * Adjacency links between [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], the [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] and the [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] increase the research speed by 10%.<br /> * Interrogations provide research credits, which increase the research speed of all research projects and foundry projects that match the credit type by 25%.<br /> <br /><br /> Items in the "Unlocks" columns that are listed in <i><font color=gray>italic and gray</font></i> require multiple research projects, or require both a research project and a foundry project. They are only unlocked when all research projects are completed, or when both the research project and the foundry project have been completed.<br /> * Exception: Alien Operations only requires a singly interrogation in addition to Xenopsionics.<br /> <br /><br /> ==Analysis Projects==<br /> Analysis projects allow players to study aliens and their UFOs. These studies are generally shorter than technology projects, and do not cost any resources, except the corpses required for the autopsy or the captive required for the interrogation. Note that the duration to analyze more powerful aliens increases much more than in Vanilla.<br /> <br /> ===Alien Autopsies===<br /> Alien corpses that have been returned from successful missions can be autopsied for further analysis, once the required research projects have been completed. Note that autopsies now require and consume multiple corpses, as listed below.<br /><br /> In addition to the listed unlocked items, autopsies also unlock the ability to inspect aliens on the battlefield and see their perks by targeting them and pressing F1, and often also unlock related council requests.<br /> <br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> ! colspan="9" | Alien Autopsies (Long War)<br /> |-<br /> ! rowspan="2" | Research !!

For example, Sectoid Autopsy requires and consumes 10 Sectoid Corpses.<br /> * Autopsies now require other research projects before they can be started. For example, Xenobiology is required to perform Sectoid Autopsy.<br /> * Interrogations now require the autopsy project for the same species. For example, Sectoid Autopsy is required to perform Sectoid Interrogation.<br /> * Most Psi Powers now require specific research projects before they can be learned. For example, Sectoid Interrogation is required to learn Mind Fray.<br /> * Aliens now have various perks. Autopsies are required to inspect aliens of the same species and see their perks. For example, once Sectoid Autopsy has been performed, players can target a Sectoid, and press F1 to inspect them.<br /> * UFOs that have been successfully assaulted can now be analyzed, providing your ships with a damage bonus against these UFOs.<br /> * All council requests except Satellites now require specific research projects to be completed. For example, council members will not request Sectoid Corpses before Xenobiology has been researched.<br /> * South America's continent bonus no longer makes autopsies and interrogations instantaneous. It instead affects the cost to build and maintain power generators.<br /> <br /><br /> ==Notes==<br /> The duration listed for all research projects is the duration for 30 scientists with no [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], adjacency bonus or research credits.<br /> * Having less than 30 scientists increases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 15 scientists, the actual duration is double that of the listed value.<br /> * Having more than 30 scientists decreases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 50 scientists, the actual duration is half that of the listed value.<br /> * [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] increase the research speed by 20%.<br /> * Adjacency links between [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], the [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] and the [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] increase the research speed by 10%.<br /> * Interrogations provide research credits, which increase the research speed of all research projects and foundry projects that match the credit type by 25%.<br /> <br /><br /> Items in the "Unlocks" columns that are listed in <i><font color=gray>italic and gray</font></i> require multiple research projects, or require both a research project and a foundry project. They are only unlocked when all research projects are completed, or when both the research project and the foundry project have been completed.<br /> * Exception: Alien Operations only requires a singly interrogation in addition to Xenopsionics.<br /> <br /><br /> ==Analysis Projects==<br /> Analysis projects allow players to study aliens and their UFOs. These studies are generally shorter than technology projects, and do not cost any resources, except the corpses required for the autopsy or the captive required for the interrogation. Note that the duration to analyze more powerful aliens increases much more than in Vanilla.<br /> <br /> ===Alien Autopsies===<br /> Alien corpses that have been returned from successful missions can be autopsied for further analysis, once the required research projects have been completed. Note that autopsies now require and consume multiple corpses, as listed below.<br /><br /> In addition to the listed unlocked items, autopsies also unlock the ability to inspect aliens on the battlefield and see their perks by targeting them and pressing F1, and often also unlock related council requests.<br /> <br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> ! colspan="9" | Alien Autopsies (Long War)<br /> |-<br /> ! rowspan="2" | Research !!

The Foundry is unlocked very early during the campaign and it is highly advised to get one up and running as quickly as possible. Besides enhancing and creating new technologies, the foundry also counts as a workshop for adjacency purposes.<br /> <br /> Foundry projects are generally passive upgrades and whilst their effects may seem small, they can have a subtle but long-lasting impact on a campaign as they cover everything from boosting the chance of scoring critical hits with pistols, to enhancing the amount of materials recovered after combat. Unfortunately, these projects also require a significant investment of resources, especially meld. They also often require other rarer or more unusual materials such as corpses, wrecks, or UFO components. <br /> <br /> Each project has an engineer requirement, while you can still start the project without meeting this requirement, the time to complete it will be significantly longer than usual.<br /> <br /> One of the most important upgrade paths that the foundry gives access to is Interceptor upgrades, making them viable against the Alien UFOs. For a full list of some of the new items unlocked by Foundry projects, refer to the [[Equipment (Long War)|Equipment]] page.<br /> <br /> Many foundry projects bear the same name and effects as [[Foundry (EU2012)|their original incarnation]], though with differing costs, requirements, and time.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === Foundry Projects ===<br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> |+ Projects<br /> |-<br /> !rowspan="2" | Name !! rowspan="2" width=" 25%"| Effects !! colspan="2" | Prerequisites !! colspan="7" | Cost<br /> |-align="center"<br /> | {{Engineers Icon}} || {{Research Icon}} || {{Credits Icon}} || {{AA Icon}} || {{Weapon Fragments Icon}} || {{Elerium Icon}} || {{Meld Icon}} || {{Time Icon}} || Other<br /> |- align="center"<br /> ! colspan="11" | SHIV-Specific Upgrades<br /> <br /> |- align="center"<br /> | SHIV Repair<br /> | Allows arc throwers to be used to repair SHIVS (and MECs)<br /> | 15<br /> | Drone Autopsy<br /> | §100<br /> | 5<br /> | 10<br /> | 5<br /> | 0<br /> | 14<br /> | 10x Drone Wreck<br /> <br /> |- align="center"<br /> | SHIV Defenses<br /> | Unlocks two new utility items for SHIVs to increase their defensive capabilities<br /> | 30<br /> | Mobile Power Armor<br /> | §150<br /> | 30<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 10<br /> | 2x Cyberdisk Wreck<br /> <br /> |- align="center"<br /> | SHIV Suppression<br /> | Grants SHIVs the ''Suppression'' perk, allowing them to use suppressing fire in combat<br /> | 15<br /> | Alien Weaponry<br /> | §40<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 7<br /> | - <br /> <br /> |- align="center"<br /> | Sentinel Drone<br /> | Grants auto-repair ability to a SHIV, and grants them close combat specialist perk<br /> | 30<br /> | Cyberdisc Autopsy<br /> | 80<br /> | 20<br /> | 0<br /> | 10<br /> | 0<br /> | 7<br /> | 1x Drone Wreck, <br> 1x UFO Flight Computer<br /> |-<br /> !colspan="11" | General Mechanical Unit Upgrades<br /> |-align="center"<br /> ! |Name|| Effects || {{Engineers Icon}} || {{Research Icon}} || {{Credits Icon}} || {{AA Icon}} || {{Weapon Fragments Icon}} || {{Elerium Icon}} || {{Meld Icon}} || {{Time Icon}} || Other<br /> <br /> |- align="center"<br /> | Advanced Servomotors<br /> | All SHIVs and MECs are granted the ''Sprinter'' perk upon completing the project.<br>Unlocks ''Walker Servos'' for infantry and ''Elerium Turbos'' for MECs/SHIVs<br /> | 45<br /> | Mechtoid Autopsy<br /> | §300<br /> | 30<br /> | 0<br /> | 20<br /> | 8<br /> | 14<br /> | 8x Mechtoid Core<br /> <br /> |- align="center"<br /> | Advanced Repair<br /> | Increases Interceptor and SHIV repair speed<br /> | 45<br /> | Heavy Floater Autopsy<br /> | §250<br /> | 40<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 4<br /> | 21<br /> | 4x Heavy Floater Corpse<br /> <br /> |- align="center"<br /> | Shaped Armor<br /> | Increases health of mechanised units (SHIV, MEC)<br /> | 35<br /> | Floater Autopsy<br /> | §300<br /> | 40<br /> | 0<br /> | 20<br /> | 3<br /> | 21<br /> | 3x Floater Corpses<br /> <br /> |- align="center"<br /> | MEC Close Combat<br /> | Grants all MECs the ''MEC Close Combat'' perk, increasing Kinetic Strike damage by 50%<br>In addition, using Kinetic Strike as the first action of a turn no longer ends the MEC's turn<br /> | 50<br /> | Berserker Autopsy<br /> | §300<br /> | 30<br /> | 0<br /> | 15<br /> | 5<br /> | 7<br /> | 5x Berserker Corpse<br /> <br /> |- align="center"<br /> | Jellied Elerium<br /> | Increases Flamethrower damage by ~50%.<br /> | 25<br /> | Elerium<br /> | §200<br /> | 0<br /> | 30<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 10<br /> | - <br /> <br /> <br /> |-align="center"<br /> | MEC Warfare Systems<br /> | Vital for further MEC equipment development; prerequisite for the production of many MEC items (e.g. Kinetic Strike, Flamethrower, etc.)<br /> | 20<br /> | Alien Biocybernetics<br /> | §25<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 7<br /> | -<br /> <br /> |- align="center"<br /> !colspan="11" | General Weapon Upgrades<br /> |-align="center"<br /> ! |Name|| Effects || {{Engineers Icon}} || {{Research Icon}} || {{Credits Icon}} || {{AA Icon}} || {{Weapon Fragments Icon}} || {{Elerium Icon}} || {{Meld Icon}} || {{Time Icon}} || Other<br /> <br /> |-align="center"<br /> | Enhanced Ballistics<br /> | Unlocks Alloy-Jacketed Rounds for Infantry and Depleted Elerium Rounds for SHIVs/MECs.<br /> | 10<br /> | Alien Materials<br /> | §80<br /> | 5<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 7<br /> | -<br /> <br /> |-align="center"<br /> | Enhanced Lasers<br /> | Unlocks Enhanced Beam Optics for Infantry and Laser Pumper for SHIVs/MECs.<br /> | 55<br /> | Advanced Beam Lasers<br /> | §150<br /> | 20<br /> | 15<br /> | 0<br /> | 0<br /> | 14<br /> | -<br /> <br /> |- align="center"<br /> | Enhanced Plasma<br /> | All plasma weapons receive +1 to damage.

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div>==Changes from Vanilla==<br /> [[File: Wiki-facbox_research.png|right]]<br /> The Long War mod adds more techs and increases research times. Some notable changes:<br /> *A vastly expanded research tree.<br /> *Longer research times.<br /> *Autopsies require multiple corpses.<br /> *Interrogation requires that the species in question has already been autopsied.<br /> *Some Autopsies may require other techs: for example, Alien Biocybernetics and Sectoid Autopsy are required to perform the Mechtoid autopsy.<br /> *South America no longer provides Autopsy/Interrogation bonuses, and Autopsy/Interrogations generally take longer (especially for late-game species).<br /> <br /> ==Research Credits==<br /> Obtained via interrogation of a captive alien, these time-saving research tasks can be of great help, especially for late game techs. However, due to the arc thrower's reduced success rate and 1 use limit, many players will only pack Arc Throwers for the required Outsider capture and will therefore overlook these. That said, with a vastly expanded research tree and generally longer research times, the 25% time reduction is not to be dismissed.<br /> <br /> {| class= "wikitable" width="100%"<br /> <br /> |+<br /> ! colspan = "4" | Research credits<br /> |-align=center<br /> | width="15%" |'''Credit''' || width="10%" | {{Research Icon}} || '''Research Projects Influenced''' || '''Foundry Projects Influenced''' <br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Cybernetics'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit UFOTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div> || Sectoid Interrogation || Xenogenetics <br/> Alien Biocybernetics || Advanced Repair <br/> Advanced Servomotors <br/> Advanced Surgery <br/> Drone Capture <br/> Improved Medikit <br/> Jellied Elerium <br/> MEC Close Combat <br/> MEC Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Laser Weaponry'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Laser Weapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div> || Thin Man Interrogation || Beam Lasers <br/> Advanced Beam Lasers <br/> Pulse Lasers <br/> Advanced Pulse Lasers || Aircraft Boosters <br/> Enhanced Lasers <br/> Supercapacitors<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Aerospace''' <div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Armor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>|| Floater Interrogation || UFO Analysis <br/> Advanced Aerospace Concepts <br/> Alien Propulsion <br/> Antigrav Systems || Advanced Flight <br/> Aircraft Boosters <br/> Armored Fighters <br/> Elerium Afterburners <br/> Improved Avionics <br/> Penetrator Weapons <br/> Super Skyranger <br/> UFO Countermeasures <br/> UFO Tracking <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Gauss Weaponry'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Flight Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div> || Muton Interrogation || Gauss Weapons <br/> Advanced Gauss Weapons || Mag Pistols <br/> Rail Pistols <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Armor'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllArmor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>|| Berserker Interrogation || Improved Body Armor <br/> Advanced Body Armor <br/> Mobile Power Armor <br/> Advanced Power Armor || Armored Fighters <br/> Shaped Armor <br/> SHIV Defenses <br/> Tactical Rigging<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Plasma Weaponry''' <div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit PlasmaWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>|| Heavy Floater Interrogation || Plasma Weapons <br/> Compact Plasma Weapons <br/> Advanced Plasma Weapons <br/> Precision Plasma Weapons <br/> Heavy Plasma Weapons <br/> Vehicular Plasma Weapons || Enhanced Plasma <br/> Reflex Pistols<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Psionics'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Psionics Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div> || Sectoid Commander Interrogation || Xenopsionics <br/> Alien Communications <br/> Alien Command and Control <br/> Mind and Machine || Psi Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''All Weapons'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>|| Muton Elite Interrogation || Alien Weaponry <br/> Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons <br/> Fusion Weapons <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Research Projects || Ammo Conservation <br/> Enhanced Ballistics <br/> SCOPE Upgrade <br/> SHIV Suppression <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Foundry Projects<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''All Tech'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div> || Ethereal Interrogation || All Research Projects || All Foundry Projects<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> Note that captive aliens of an already interrogated species can be requested by Council Members.<br /> Sectoids, Thin Men, and Floaters often give cash/engineers/scientists.

The Foundry is unlocked very early during the campaign and it is highly advised to get one up and running as quickly as possible. Besides enhancing and creating new technologies, the foundry also counts as a workshop for adjacency purposes.<br /> <br /> Foundry projects are generally passive upgrades and whilst their effects may seem small, they can have a subtle but long-lasting impact on a campaign as they cover everything from boosting the chance of scoring critical hits with pistols, to enhancing the amount of materials recovered after combat. Unfortunately, these projects also require a significant investment of resources, especially meld. They also often require other rarer or more unusual materials such as corpses, wrecks, or UFO components. <br /> <br /> Each project has an engineer requirement, while you can still start the project without meeting this requirement, the time to complete it will be significantly longer than usual.<br /> <br /> One of the most important upgrade paths that the foundry gives access to is Interceptor upgrades, making them viable against the Alien UFOs.

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div>==Changes from Vanilla==<br /> The Long War mod adds more techs and increases research times. It features:<br /> *A vastly Expanded Research Tree.<br /> *Longer Research times.<br /> *Autopsies require multiple corpses.<br /> *Interrogation requires that the species in question has already been autopsied.<br /> *Some Autopsies may require other techs, for example Alien Biocybernetics and Sectoid Autopsy are required to perform the Mectoid autopsy.<br /> *South America no longer provides Autopsy/Interrogation bonuses, and Autopsy/Interrogations generally take longer (especially for late-game species).<br /> <br /> ==Research Credits==<br /> Obtained via interrogation of a captive alien, these time-saving research tasks can be of great help, especially for late game techs. However, due to the arc thrower's reduced success rate and 1 use limit, many players will only pack Arc Throwers for the required Outsider capture and will therefore overlook these. That said, with a vastly expanded research tree and generally longer research times, the 25% time reduction is not to be dismissed.<br /> <br /> {| class= "wikitable" width="100%"<br /> <br /> |+<br /> ! colspan = "4" | Research credits<br /> |-align=center<br /> | width="15%" |'''Credit''' || width="10%" | {{Research Icon}} || '''Research Projects Influenced''' || '''Foundry Projects Influenced''' <br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Cybernetics'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit UFOTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div> || Sectoid Interrogation || Xenogenetics <br/> Alien Biocybernetics || Advanced Repair <br/> Advanced Servomotors <br/> Advanced Surgery <br/> Drone Capture <br/> Improved Medikit <br/> Jellied Elerium <br/> MEC Close Combat <br/> MEC Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Laser Weaponry'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Laser Weapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div> || Thin Man Interrogation || Beam Lasers <br/> Advanced Beam Lasers <br/> Pulse Lasers <br/> Advanced Pulse Lasers || Aircraft Boosters <br/> Enhanced Lasers <br/> Supercapacitors<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Aerospace''' <div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Armor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>|| Floater Interrogation || UFO Analysis <br/> Advanced Aerospace Concepts <br/> Alien Propulsion <br/> Antigrav Systems || Advanced Flight <br/> Aircraft Boosters <br/> Armored Fighters <br/> Elerium Afterburners <br/> Improved Avionics <br/> Penetrator Weapons <br/> Super Skyranger <br/> UFO Countermeasures <br/> UFO Tracking <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Gauss Weaponry'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Flight Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div> || Muton Interrogation || Gauss Weapons <br/> Advanced Gauss Weapons || Mag Pistols <br/> Rail Pistols <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Armor'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllArmor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>|| Berserker Interrogation || Improved Body Armor <br/> Advanced Body Armor <br/> Mobile Power Armor <br/> Advanced Power Armor || Armored Fighters <br/> Shaped Armor <br/> SHIV Defenses <br/> Tactical Rigging<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Plasma Weaponry''' <div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit PlasmaWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>|| Heavy Floater Interrogation || Plasma Weapons <br/> Compact Plasma Weapons <br/> Advanced Plasma Weapons <br/> Precision Plasma Weapons <br/> Heavy Plasma Weapons <br/> Vehicular Plasma Weapons || Enhanced Plasma <br/> Reflex Pistols<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''Psionics'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Psionics Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div> || Sectoid Commander Interrogation || Xenopsionics <br/> Alien Communications <br/> Alien Command and Control <br/> Mind and Machine || Psi Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''All Weapons'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>|| Muton Elite Interrogation || Alien Weaponry <br/> Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons <br/> Fusion Weapons <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Research Projects || Ammo Conservation <br/> Enhanced Ballistics <br/> SCOPE Upgrade <br/> SHIV Suppression <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Foundry Projects<br /> |-align=center<br /> |'''All Tech'''<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div> || Ethereal Interrogation || All Research Projects || All Foundry Projects<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> Note that captive aliens of an already interrogated species can be requested by Council Members.<br /> Sectoids, Thin Men, and Floaters often give cash/engineers/scientists.

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div>==Changes from Vanilla==<br /> The Long War mod adds more techs and increases research times. It features:<br /> *A vastly Expanded Research Tree.<br /> *Longer Research times.<br /> *Autopsies require multiple corpses.<br /> *Interrogation requires that the species in question has already been autopsied.<br /> *Some Autopsies may require other techs, for example Alien Biocybernetics and Sectoid Autopsy are required to perform the Mectoid autopsy.<br /> *South America no longer provides Autopsy/Interrogation bonuses, and Autopsy/Interrogations generally take longer (especially for late-game species).<br /> <br /> ==Research Credits==<br /> Obtained via interrogation of a captive alien, these time-saving research tasks can be of great help, especially for late game techs. However, due to the arc thrower's reduced success rate and 1 use limit, many players will only pack Arc Throwers for the required Outsider capture and will therefore overlook these. That said, with a vastly expanded research tree and generally longer research times, the 25% time reduction is not to be dismissed.<br /> <br /> {| class= "wikitable" width="100%"<br /> <br /> |+<br /> ! colspan = "4" | Research credits<br /> |-align=center<br /> | width="15%" |'''Credit''' || width="10%" | {{Research Icon}} || '''Research Projects Influenced''' || '''Foundry Projects Influenced''' <br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit UFOTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Cybernetics''' || Sectoid Interrogation || Xenogenetics <br/> Alien Biocybernetics || Advanced Repair <br/> Advanced Servomotors <br/> Advanced Surgery <br/> Drone Capture <br/> Improved Medikit <br/> Jellied Elerium <br/> MEC Close Combat <br/> MEC Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Laser Weapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Laser Weaponry''' || Thin Man Interrogation || Beam Lasers <br/> Advanced Beam Lasers <br/> Pulse Lasers <br/> Advanced Pulse Lasers || Aircraft Boosters <br/> Enhanced Lasers <br/> Supercapacitors<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Armor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Aerospace''' || Floater Interrogation || UFO Analysis <br/> Advanced Aerospace Concepts <br/> Alien Propulsion <br/> Antigrav Systems || Advanced Flight <br/> Aircraft Boosters <br/> Armored Fighters <br/> Elerium Afterburners <br/> Improved Avionics <br/> Penetrator Weapons <br/> Super Skyranger <br/> UFO Countermeasures <br/> UFO Tracking <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Flight Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Gauss Weaponry''' || Muton Interrogation || Gauss Weapons <br/> Advanced Gauss Weapons || Mag Pistols <br/> Rail Pistols <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllArmor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Armor''' || Berserker Interrogation || Improved Body Armor <br/> Advanced Body Armor <br/> Mobile Power Armor <br/> Advanced Power Armor || Armored Fighters <br/> Shaped Armor <br/> SHIV Defenses <br/> Tactical Rigging<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit PlasmaWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Plasma Weaponry''' || Heavy Floater Interrogation || Plasma Weapons <br/> Compact Plasma Weapons <br/> Advanced Plasma Weapons <br/> Precision Plasma Weapons <br/> Heavy Plasma Weapons <br/> Vehicular Plasma Weapons || Enhanced Plasma <br/> Reflex Pistols<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Psionics Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Psionics''' || Sectoid Commander Interrogation || Xenopsionics <br/> Alien Communications <br/> Alien Command and Control <br/> Mind and Machine || Psi Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Weapons''' || Muton Elite Interrogation || Alien Weaponry <br/> Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons <br/> Fusion Weapons <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Research Projects || Ammo Conservation <br/> Enhanced Ballistics <br/> SCOPE Upgrade <br/> SHIV Suppression <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Foundry Projects<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Tech''' || Ethereal Interrogation || All Research Projects || All Foundry Projects<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> Note that captive aliens of an already interrogated species can be requested by Council Members.<br /> Sectoids, Thin Men, and Floaters often give cash/engineers/scientists.

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div>==Changes from Vanilla==<br /> The Long War mod adds more techs and increases research times. It features:<br /> *A vastly Expanded Research Tree.<br /> *Longer Research times.<br /> *Autopsies require multiple corpses.<br /> *Interrogation requires that the species in question has already been autopsied.<br /> *Some Autopsies may require other techs, for example Alien Biocybernetics and Sectoid Autopsy are required to perform the Mectoid autopsy.<br /> *South America no longer provides Autopsy/Interrogation bonuses, and Autopsy/Interrogations generally take longer (especially for late-game species).<br /> <br /> ==Research Credits==<br /> Obtained via interrogation of a captive alien, these time-saving research tasks can be of great help, especially for late game techs. However, due to the arc thrower's reduced success rate and 1 use limit, many players will only pack Arc Throwers for the required Outsider capture and will therefore overlook these. That said, with a vastly expanded research tree and generally longer research times, the 25% time reduction is not to be dismissed.<br /> <br /> {| class= "wikitable" width="100%"<br /> <br /> |+<br /> ! colspan = "4" | Research credits<br /> |-align=center<br /> | width="15%" |'''Credit''' || width="10%" | {{Research Icon}} || '''Research Projects Influenced''' || '''Foundry Projects Influenced''' <br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit UFOTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Cybernetics''' || Sectoid Interrogation || Xenogenetics <br/> Alien Biocybernetics || Advanced Repair <br/> Advanced Servomotors <br/> Advanced Surgery <br/> Drone Capture <br/> Improved Medikit <br/> Jellied Elerium <br/> MEC Close Combat <br/> MEC Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Laser Weapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Laser Weaponry''' || Thin Man Interrogation || Beam Lasers <br/> Advanced Beam Lasers <br/> Pulse Lasers <br/> Advanced Pulse Lasers || Aircraft Boosters <br/> Enhanced Lasers <br/> Supercapacitors<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Armor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Aerospace''' || Floater Interrogation || UFO Analysis <br/> Advanced Aerospace Concepts <br/> Alien Propulsion <br/> Antigrav Systems || Advanced Flight <br/> Aircraft Boosters <br/> Armored Fighters <br/> Elerium Afterburners <br/> Improved Avionics <br/> Penetrator Weapons <br/> Super Skyranger <br/> UFO Countermeasures <br/> UFO Tracking <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Flight Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Gauss Weaponry''' || Muton Interrogation || Gauss Weapons <br/> Advanced Gauss Weapons || Mag Pistols <br/> Rail Pistols <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllArmor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Armor''' || Berserker Interrogation || Improved Body Armor <br/> Advanced Body Armor <br/> Mobile Power Armor <br/> Advanced Power Armor || Armored Fighters <br/> Shaped Armor <br/> SHIV Defenses <br/> Tactical Rigging<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit PlasmaWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Plasma Weaponry''' || Heavy Floater Interrogation || Plasma Weapons <br/> Compact Plasma Weapons <br/> Advanced Plasma Weapons <br/> Precision Plasma Weapons <br/> Heavy Plasma Weapons <br/> Vehicular Plasma Weapons || Enhanced Plasma <br/> Reflex Pistols<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Psionics Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Psionics''' || Sectoid Commander Interrogation || Xenopsionics <br/> Alien Communications <br/> Alien Command and Control <br/> Mind and Machine || Psi Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Weapons''' || Muton Elite Interrogation || Alien Weaponry <br/> Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons <br/> Fusion Weapons <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Research Projects || Ammo Conservation <br/> Enhanced Ballistics <br/> SCOPE Upgrade <br/> SHIV Suppression <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Foundry Projects<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Tech''' || Ethereal Interrogation || All Research Projects || All Foundry Projects<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> Note that captive aliens of an already interrogated species can be requested by Council Members.<br /> Sectoids, Thin Men, and Floaters often give cash/engineers/scientists.

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div>==Changes from Vanilla==<br /> The Long War mod adds more techs and increases research times. It features:<br /> *A vastly Expanded Research Tree.<br /> *Longer Research times.<br /> *Autopsies require multiple corpses.<br /> *Interrogation requires that the species in question has already been autopsied.<br /> *Some Autopsies may require other techs, for example Alien Biocybernetics and Sectoid Autopsy are required to perform the Mectoid autopsy.<br /> *South America no longer provides Autopsy/Interrogation bonuses, and Autopsy/Interrogations generally take longer (especially for late-game species).<br /> <br /> ==Research Credits==<br /> Obtained via interrogation of a captive alien, these time-saving research tasks can be of great help, especially for late game techs. However, due to the arc thrower's reduced success rate and 1 use limit, many players will only pack Arc Throwers for the required Outsider capture and will therefore overlook these. That said, with a vastly expanded research tree and generally longer research times, the 25% time reduction is not to be dismissed.<br /> <br /> {| class= "wikitable" width="100%"<br /> <br /> |+<br /> ! colspan = "4" | Research credits<br /> |-align=center<br /> | width="15%" |'''Credit''' || width="10%" | {{Research Icon}} || '''Research Projects Influenced''' || '''Foundry Projects Influenced''' <br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit UFOTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Cybernetics''' || Sectoid Interrogation || Xenogenetics <br/> Alien Biocybernetics || Advanced Repair <br/> Advanced Servomotors <br/> Advanced Surgery <br/> Drone Capture <br/> Improved Medikit <br/> Jellied Elerium <br/> MEC Close Combat <br/> MEC Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Laser Weapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Laser Weaponry''' || Thin Man Interrogation || Beam Lasers <br/> Advanced Beam Lasers <br/> Pulse Lasers <br/> Advanced Pulse Lasers || Aircraft Boosters <br/> Enhanced Lasers <br/> Supercapacitors<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Armor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Aerospace''' || Floater Interrogation || UFO Analysis <br/> Advanced Aerospace Concepts <br/> Alien Propulsion <br/> Antigrav Systems || Advanced Flight <br/> Aircraft Boosters <br/> Armored Fighters <br/> Elerium Afterburners <br/> Improved Avionics <br/> Penetrator Weapons <br/> Super Skyranger <br/> UFO Countermeasures <br/> UFO Tracking <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Flight Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Gauss Weaponry''' || Muton Interrogation || Gauss Weapons <br/> Advanced Gauss Weapons || Mag Pistols <br/> Rail Pistols <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllArmor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Armor''' || Berserker Interrogation || Improved Body Armor <br/> Advanced Body Armor <br/> Mobile Power Armor <br/> Advanced Power Armor || Armored Fighters <br/> Shaped Armor <br/> SHIV Defenses <br/> Tactical Rigging<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit PlasmaWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Plasma Weaponry''' || Heavy Floater Interrogation || Plasma Weapons <br/> Compact Plasma Weapons <br/> Advanced Plasma Weapons <br/> Precision Plasma Weapons <br/> Heavy Plasma Weapons <br/> Vehicular Plasma Weapons || Enhanced Plasma <br/> Reflex Pistols<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Psionics Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Psionics''' || Sectoid Commander Interrogation || Xenopsionics <br/> Alien Communications <br/> Alien Command and Control <br/> Mind and Machine || Psi Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Weapons''' || Muton Elite Interrogation || Alien Weaponry <br/> Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons <br/> Fusion Weapons <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Research Projects || Ammo Conservation <br/> Enhanced Ballistics <br/> SCOPE Upgrade <br/> SHIV Suppression <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Foundry Projects<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Tech''' || Ethereal Interrogation || All Research Projects || All Foundry Projects<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> Note that captive aliens of an already interrogated species can be requested by Council Members.<br /> Sectoids, Thin Men, and Floaters often give cash/engineers/scientists.

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div>==Changes from Vanilla==<br /> The Long War mod adds more techs and increases research times. It features:<br /> *A vastly Expanded Research Tree.<br /> *Longer Research times.<br /> *Autopsies require multiple corpses.<br /> *Interrogation requires that the species in question has already been autopsied.<br /> *Some Autopsies may require other techs, for example Alien Biocybernetics and Sectoid Autopsy are required to perform the Mectoid autopsy.<br /> *South America no longer provides Autopsy/Interrogation bonuses, and Autopsy/Interrogations generally take longer (especially for late-game species).<br /> <br /> ==Research Credits==<br /> Obtained via interrogation of a captive alien, these time-saving research tasks can be of great help, especially for late game techs. However, due to the arc thrower's reduced success rate and 1 use limit, many players will only pack Arc Throwers for the required Outsider capture and will therefore overlook these. That said, with a vastly expanded research tree and generally longer research times, the 25% time reduction is not to be dismissed.<br /> <br /> {| class= "wikitable" width="100%"<br /> <br /> |+<br /> ! colspan = "4" | Research credits<br /> |-align=center<br /> | width="15%" |'''Credit''' || width="10%" | {{Research Icon}} || '''Research Projects Influenced''' || '''Foundry Projects Influenced''' <br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit UFOTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Cybernetics''' || Sectoid Interrogation || Xenogenetics <br/> Alien Biocybernetics || Advanced Repair <br/> Advanced Servomotors <br/> Advanced Surgery <br/> Drone Capture <br/> Improved Medikit <br/> Jellied Elerium <br/> MEC Close Combat <br/> MEC Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Laser Weapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Laser Weaponry''' || Thin Man Interrogation || Beam Lasers <br/> Advanced Beam Lasers <br/> Pulse Lasers <br/> Advanced Pulse Lasers || Aircraft Boosters <br/> Enhanced Lasers <br/> Supercapacitors<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Armor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Aerospace''' || Floater Interrogation || UFO Analysis <br/> Advanced Aerospace Concepts <br/> Alien Propulsion <br/> Antigrav Systems || Advanced Flight <br/> Aircraft Boosters <br/> Armored Fighters <br/> Elerium Afterburners <br/> Improved Avionics <br/> Penetrator Weapons <br/> Super Skyranger <br/> UFO Countermeasures <br/> UFO Tracking <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Flight Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Gauss Weaponry''' || Muton Interrogation || Gauss Weapons <br/> Advanced Gauss Weapons || Mag Pistols <br/> Rail Pistols <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllArmor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Armor''' || Berserker Interrogation || Improved Body Armor <br/> Advanced Body Armor <br/> Mobile Power Armor <br/> Advanced Power Armor || Armored Fighters <br/> Shaped Armor <br/> SHIV Defenses <br/> Tactical Rigging<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit PlasmaWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Plasma Weaponry''' || Heavy Floater Interrogation || Plasma Weapons <br/> Compact Plasma Weapons <br/> Advanced Plasma Weapons <br/> Precision Plasma Weapons <br/> Heavy Plasma Weapons <br/> Vehicular Plasma Weapons || Enhanced Plasma <br/> Reflex Pistols<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Psionics Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Psionics''' || Sectoid Commander Interrogation || Xenopsionics <br/> Alien Communications <br/> Alien Command and Control <br/> Mind and Machine || Psi Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Weapons''' || Muton Elite Interrogation || Alien Weaponry <br/> Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons <br/> Fusion Weapons <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Research Projects || Ammo Conservation <br/> Enhanced Ballistics <br/> SCOPE Upgrade <br/> SHIV Suppression <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Foundry Projects<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Tech''' || Ethereal Interrogation || All Research Projects || All Foundry Projects<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> Note that captive aliens of an already interrogated species can be requested by Council Members.<br /> Sectoids, Thin Men, and Floaters often give cash/engineers/scientists.

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div>==Changes from Vanilla==<br /> The Long War mod adds more techs and increases research times. It features:<br /> *A vastly Expanded Research Tree.<br /> *Longer Research times.<br /> *Autopsies require multiple corpses.<br /> *Interrogation requires that the species in question has already been autopsied.<br /> *Some Autopsies may require other techs, for example Alien Biocybernetics and Sectoid Autopsy are required to perform the Mectoid autopsy.<br /> *South America no longer provides Autopsy/Interrogation bonuses, and Autopsy/Interrogations generally take longer (especially for late-game species).<br /> <br /> ==Research Credits==<br /> Obtained via interrogation of a captive alien, these time-saving research tasks can be of great help, especially for late game techs. However, due to the arc thrower's reduced success rate and 1 use limit, many players will only pack Arc Throwers for the required Outsider capture and will therefore overlook these. That said, with a vastly expanded research tree and generally longer research times, the 25% time reduction is not to be dismissed.<br /> <br /> {| class= "wikitable" width="100%"<br /> <br /> |+<br /> ! colspan = "4" | Research credits<br /> |-align=center<br /> | width="15%" |'''Credit''' || width="10%" | {{Research Icon}} || '''Research Projects Influenced''' || '''Foundry Projects Influenced''' <br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit UFOTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Cybernetics''' || Sectoid Interrogation || Xenogenetics <br/> Alien Biocybernetics || Advanced Repair <br/> Advanced Servomotors <br/> Advanced Surgery <br/> Drone Capture <br/> Improved Medikit <br/> Jellied Elerium <br/> MEC Close Combat <br/> MEC Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Laser Weapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Laser Weaponry''' || Thin Man Interrogation || Beam Lasers <br/> Advanced Beam Lasers <br/> Pulse Lasers <br/> Advanced Pulse Lasers || Aircraft Boosters <br/> Enhanced Lasers <br/> Supercapacitors<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Armor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Aerospace''' || Floater Interrogation || UFO Analysis <br/> Advanced Aerospace Concepts <br/> Alien Propulsion <br/> Antigrav Systems || Advanced Flight <br/> Aircraft Boosters <br/> Armored Fighters <br/> Elerium Afterburners <br/> Improved Avionics <br/> Penetrator Weapons <br/> Super Skyranger <br/> UFO Countermeasures <br/> UFO Tracking <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Flight Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Gauss Weaponry''' || Muton Interrogation || Gauss Weapons <br/> Advanced Gauss Weapons || Mag Pistols <br/> Rail Pistols <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllArmor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Armor''' || Berserker Interrogation || Improved Body Armor <br/> Advanced Body Armor <br/> Mobile Power Armor <br/> Advanced Power Armor || Armored Fighters <br/> Shaped Armor <br/> SHIV Defenses <br/> Tactical Rigging<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit PlasmaWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Plasma Weaponry''' || Heavy Floater Interrogation || Plasma Weapons <br/> Compact Plasma Weapons <br/> Advanced Plasma Weapons <br/> Precision Plasma Weapons <br/> Heavy Plasma Weapons <br/> Vehicular Plasma Weapons || Enhanced Plasma <br/> Reflex Pistols<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Psionics Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Psionics''' || Sectoid Commander Interrogation || Xenopsionics <br/> Alien Communications <br/> Alien Command and Control <br/> Mind and Machine || Psi Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Weapons''' || Muton Elite Interrogation || Alien Weaponry <br/> Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons <br/> Fusion Weapons <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Research Projects || Ammo Conservation <br/> Enhanced Ballistics <br/> SCOPE Upgrade <br/> SHIV Suppression <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Foundry Projects<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Tech''' || Ethereal Interrogation || All Research Projects || All Foundry Projects<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> Note that captive aliens of an already interrogated species can be requested by Council Members.<br /> Sectoids, Thin Men, and Floaters often give cash/engineers/scientists.

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div>==Changes from Vanilla==<br /> The Long War mod adds more techs and increases research times. It features:<br /> *A vastly Expanded Research Tree.<br /> *Longer Research times.<br /> *Autopsies require multiple corpses.<br /> *Interrogation requires that the species in question has already been autopsied.<br /> *Some Autopsies may require other techs, for example Alien Biocybernetics and Sectoid Autopsy are required to perform the Mectoid autopsy.<br /> *South America no longer provides Autopsy/Interrogation bonuses, and Autopsy/Interrogations generally take longer (especially for late-game species).<br /> <br /> ==Research Credits==<br /> Obtained via interrogation of a captive alien, these time-saving research tasks can be of great help, especially for late game techs. However, due to the arc thrower's reduced success rate and 1 use limit, many players will only pack Arc Throwers for the required Outsider capture and will therefore overlook these. That said, with a vastly expanded research tree and generally longer research times, the 25% time reduction is not to be dismissed.<br /> <br /> {| class= "wikitable" width="100%"<br /> <br /> |+<br /> ! colspan = "4" | Research credits<br /> |-align=center<br /> | width="15%" |'''Credit''' || width="10%" | {{Research Icon}} || '''Research Projects Influenced''' || '''Foundry Projects Influenced''' <br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit UFOTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Cybernetics''' || Sectoid Interrogation || Xenogenetics <br/> Alien Biocybernetics || Advanced Repair <br/> Advanced Servomotors <br/> Advanced Surgery <br/> Drone Capture <br/> Improved Medikit <br/> Jellied Elerium <br/> MEC Close Combat <br/> MEC Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Laser Weapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Laser Weaponry''' || Thin Man Interrogation || Beam Lasers <br/> Advanced Beam Lasers <br/> Pulse Lasers <br/> Advanced Pulse Lasers || Aircraft Boosters <br/> Enhanced Lasers <br/> Supercapacitors<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Armor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Aerospace''' || Floater Interrogation || UFO Analysis <br/> Advanced Aerospace Concepts <br/> Alien Propulsion <br/> Antigrav Systems || Advanced Flight <br/> Aircraft Boosters <br/> Armored Fighters <br/> Elerium Afterburners <br/> Improved Avionics <br/> Penetrator Weapons <br/> Super Skyranger <br/> UFO Countermeasures <br/> UFO Tracking <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Flight Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Gauss Weaponry''' || Muton Interrogation || Gauss Weapons <br/> Advanced Gauss Weapons || Mag Pistols <br/> Rail Pistols <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllArmor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Armor''' || Berserker Interrogation || Improved Body Armor <br/> Advanced Body Armor <br/> Mobile Power Armor <br/> Advanced Power Armor || Armored Fighters <br/> Shaped Armor <br/> SHIV Defenses <br/> Tactical Rigging<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit PlasmaWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Plasma Weaponry''' || Heavy Floater Interrogation || Plasma Weapons <br/> Compact Plasma Weapons <br/> Advanced Plasma Weapons <br/> Precision Plasma Weapons <br/> Heavy Plasma Weapons <br/> Vehicular Plasma Weapons || Enhanced Plasma <br/> Reflex Pistols<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Psionics Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Psionics''' || Sectoid Commander Interrogation || Xenopsionics <br/> Alien Communications <br/> Alien Command and Control <br/> Mind and Machine || Psi Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Weapons''' || Muton Elite Interrogation || Alien Weaponry <br/> Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons <br/> Fusion Weapons <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Research Projects || Ammo Conservation <br/> Enhanced Ballistics <br/> SCOPE Upgrade <br/> SHIV Suppression <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Foundry Projects<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Tech''' || Ethereal Interrogation || All Research Projects || All Foundry Projects<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> Note that captive aliens of an already interrogated species can be requested by Council Members.<br /> Sectoids, Thin Men, and Floaters often give cash/engineers/scientists.

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div>==Changes from Vanilla==<br /> The Long War mod adds more techs and increases research times. It features:<br /> *A vastly Expanded Research Tree.<br /> *Longer Research times.<br /> *Autopsies require multiple corpses.<br /> *Interrogation requires that the species in question has already been autopsied.<br /> *Some Autopsies may require other techs, for example Alien Biocybernetics and Sectoid Autopsy are required to perform the Mectoid autopsy.<br /> *South America no longer provides Autopsy/Interrogation bonuses, and Autopsy/Interrogations generally take longer (especially for late-game species).<br /> <br /> ==Research Credits==<br /> Obtained via interrogation of a captive alien, these time-saving research tasks can be of great help, especially for late game techs. However, due to the arc thrower's reduced success rate and 1 use limit, many players will only pack Arc Throwers for the required Outsider capture and will therefore overlook these. That said, with a vastly expanded research tree and generally longer research times, the 25% time reduction is not to be dismissed.<br /> <br /> {| class= "wikitable" width="100%"<br /> <br /> |+<br /> ! colspan = "4" | Research credits<br /> |-align=center<br /> | width="15%" |'''Credit''' || width="10%" | {{Research Icon}} || '''Research Projects Influenced''' || '''Foundry Projects Influenced''' <br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit UFOTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Cybernetics''' || Sectoid Interrogation || Xenogenetics <br/> Alien Biocybernetics || Advanced Repair <br/> Advanced Servomotors <br/> Advanced Surgery <br/> Drone Capture <br/> Improved Medikit <br/> Jellied Elerium <br/> MEC Close Combat <br/> MEC Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Laser Weapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Laser Weaponry''' || Thin Man Interrogation || Beam Lasers <br/> Advanced Beam Lasers <br/> Pulse Lasers <br/> Advanced Pulse Lasers || Aircraft Boosters <br/> Enhanced Lasers <br/> Supercapacitors<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Armor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Aerospace''' || Floater Interrogation || UFO Analysis <br/> Advanced Aerospace Concepts <br/> Alien Propulsion <br/> Antigrav Systems || Advanced Flight <br/> Aircraft Boosters <br/> Armored Fighters <br/> Elerium Afterburners <br/> Improved Avionics <br/> Penetrator Weapons <br/> Super Skyranger <br/> UFO Countermeasures <br/> UFO Tracking <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Flight Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Gauss Weaponry''' || Muton Interrogation || Gauss Weapons <br/> Advanced Gauss Weapons || Mag Pistols <br/> Rail Pistols <br/> Wingtip Sparrowhawks<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllArmor Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Armor''' || Berserker Interrogation || Improved Body Armor <br/> Advanced Body Armor <br/> Mobile Power Armor <br/> Advanced Power Armor || Armored Fighters <br/> Shaped Armor <br/> SHIV Defenses <br/> Tactical Rigging<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit PlasmaWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Plasma Weaponry''' || Heavy Floater Interrogation || Plasma Weapons <br/> Compact Plasma Weapons <br/> Advanced Plasma Weapons <br/> Precision Plasma Weapons <br/> Heavy Plasma Weapons <br/> Vehicular Plasma Weapons || Enhanced Plasma <br/> Reflex Pistols<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit Psionics Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''Psionics''' || Sectoid Commander Interrogation || Xenopsionics <br/> Alien Communications <br/> Alien Command and Control <br/> Mind and Machine || Psi Warfare Systems<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllWeapons Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Weapons''' || Muton Elite Interrogation || Alien Weaponry <br/> Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons <br/> Fusion Weapons <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Research Projects || Ammo Conservation <br/> Enhanced Ballistics <br/> SCOPE Upgrade <br/> SHIV Suppression <br/> All Laser, Gauss, and Plasma Foundry Projects<br /> |-align=center<br /> |<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: Credit AllTech Long War.png|center|128x64px]]</div>'''All Tech''' || Ethereal Interrogation || All Research Projects || All Foundry Projects<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> Note that captive aliens of an already interrogated species can be requested by Council Members.<br /> Sectoids, Thin Men, and Floaters often give cash/engineers/scientists.

<p>Executor: </p> <hr /> <div>{{CheckOutdated (Long War)|b14}}<br /> <br /> <br /> In Long War all soldiers have 2 item slots from the start of the game. Each carried item has weight, and reduces the soldier's mobility by 1 per weight (a soldier's base mobility figure is displayed with 2 weight carried, so carrying nothing gives +2 on the soldier screen). An item slot can be cleared with the "empty hand" button in the item slot. Items with increased charges from perks such as Packmaster do not have increased weight.<br> <br /> Note that many items listed require [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] projects to unlock, and others are replicated by class perks (e.g. Battle Scanner). The special perk-granted versions of these items have a yellow icon in the action bar (as opposed to blue) and in some cases can be used as the first action of a turn ''without'' ending the turn (''e.g.'' a Support may throw a Smoke Grenade and then perform another action).<br /> <br /> == Soldier Equipment==<br /> <br /> === Protective Items===<br /> <br /> The aliens shoot more often, hit hard and try to flank you. Sometimes even the best tactician needs some help and help you will get! Here for your convenience is a list of all the protective gear doctor Shen came up with in recent months.
