Haven Management (LW2)

2017-05-15T08:36:02Z

Shortfriend: /* ADVENT Infiltrators */

Havens represent a liberated region of the geoscape and is the hub of information for both XCom's and ADVENT's strength in the region.

== Personnel ==
Resistance personnel can be assigned jobs from either the geoscape tower icon or the commander's quarters of the Avenger. Personnel represent resistance members and are not soldiers. they will only fight in specific types of battles involving the haven. The personnel can be assigned one of four jobs:
* Intel: generate a small amount of the intel resource and discover missions in the region. Intel will reveal advent activities, they are always here, you just do not know about them yet
* Supplies: generate supplies resources which will be delivered at the end of the month in the supply drop.
* Recruit: attempt to find new resistance rebels, soldiers, scientists, and engineers. Rebels will immediately be available for work when discovered while soldiers will become available in the recruitment list aboard the Avenger. Through recruitment activities there is a 67% chance that new recruits will be haven rebels and 33% chance that they will be soldiers available for recruitment. Once a haven has 13 rebels, it changes to approximately 20% chance of rebels and 80% chance for soldiers. If the area is liberated, you get a 3% chance for scientists and 3% chance for engineers.
* Hidden: perform no production but this can help reduce the ADVENT strength in the region and avoid haven raids.
You can have up to 13 haven personnel actively assigned, any more personnel in the haven will automatically be hidden an cannot be assigned. They can be used as a buffer for retaliation

Resistance personnel can also be acquired as mission rewards. Personnel can gain up to two ranks indicated by zero, one, or two stars next to their names. They are more effective at their task and gain random soldier perks.

== ADVENT Strength ==
The ADVENT strength stat describes the number of troops in this region and will increase the baseline enemy strength of missions in the region. Any personnel action besides hidden will cause this to rise. ADVENT strength is retroactive for missions currently being infiltrated, thus you may notice changes in enemy strength between discovery and execution of a mission.

== XCom Liaison ==
One XCom soldier, scientist, or engineer can be assigned as an liaison to a region by clicking the box in the upper left of the management screen. Having a liaison will increase efficiency by 20% for the respective job except for soldiers helping with the recruitment activity which has more complicated math involved due to officer ranks (if applicable). Having a region liberated and having a radio tower each increase efficiency by another 20% in that region (the two bonuses will stack).
* Soldiers: boost the recruitment action and are the only way to discover ADVENT infiltrators. The soldier will also be available on any mission in which the resistance personnel take up arms.
* Scientists: boosts intel jobs.
* Engineer: boosts supply jobs.
Soldier rank increases their effectiveness and any equipment the soldier had equipped before assignment will be available to them on haven missions.

== ADVENT Infiltrators ==
New resistance personnel can be ADVENT infiltrators, the only indication that this is the case is an "unknown cause" penalty to your monthly supply reward. Faceless infiltrators will steal 20% of the supplies generated in each haven, per faceless in that haven.

Assigning a soldier liaison to a haven will eventually reveal the infiltrators and initiate a rendezvous mission to eliminate them.

Finishing a rendezvous mission does not necessarily mean all faceless in the region have succesfully been eliminated.

== ADVENT Retaliations ==
As the resistance grows stronger and more organized in a region, ADVENT will eventually notice the rebel's actions and try to stop them. They will engage in a number of operations called Retaliations against groups of rebels or even the entire haven. It's up to XCom to defend them as even when they are armed, simple rebels are no match to ADVENT forces.
Retaliations can be either :
* '''Full retaliations''' Those target an entire Haven. Ignoring or totally failing a Full Retaliation will lead to all your rebels in the region being killed and the haven being empty. It's possible to prevent those missions as there will always be a Destroy the Relay mission with "Prevent Resistance Data Leak" as reward before the actual retaliation. Winning that mission will prevent the Retaliation completely and ensure the haven is safe. If you can't respond to the Retaliation or lose all your rebels during it's course it's still possible (but slow) to rebuild a Haven by using a soldier liaison to recruit new rebels.
* '''Mini retaliations''' (also called Raids) will target a specific job and all Rebels doing the job. Depending on the targeted activity the advisor may also show up in the mission but only soldier advisors will ever be armed. Ignoring a mini-retaliation will kill all rebels on that particular job and that job will be unavailable for some time. The advisor will also die if he was supposed to be in the mission. It's possible to attempt and fail a mission without loosing the rebels (especially for Intel Raids), in this case the job will still be locked for the same duration.
Both mini and full retaliations require a minimum [[Advent%27s_Agenda_(LW2)#Alert_Level|Alert Level]] and active rebels count before they trigger.

Notes :
* Full Retaliations evaluates the rebels on every job while mini retaliations only consider rebels doing that particular job (so 6+ rebels on intel will never trigger a supply raid).
* Faceless "rebels" count as double to determine the min rebels on duty so 4 rebels on a particular job, two of them being faceless is enough to trigger the raid for that job. This means it's theoretically possible to trigger a raid with only 3 rebels if all of them are faceless.

== ADVENT Strength Transfer ==

== Facilities ==

== Liberated Regions ==

Once a haven has been liberated, it stops generating new missions. This means that there is no chance of any retaliation missions happening (and you can put all of your rebels on a given mission). Haven Invasions will happen if Advent can get sufficiently high Advent Strength moved into an adjacent region.

All jobs in liberated regions have a 20% bonus. After a certain time period, liberated regions will begin to produce 50% of the supplies they originally produced, this is to simulate the effects of running out of material to scavenge. Each region will have a random amount of set supplies (between 2000 and 3000) with your starting region having 2500 supplies.

Shortfriend:

These high-powered robotic units can unleash devastating frontline attacks or absorb incoming fire and protect the squad.

* SPARK Armor: All SPARKs are built with simple metallic plates to cover their core systems.
* Primary Weapon: ''Heavy Autocannon''
* Secondary Weapon: ''SPARK BIT''
* Heavy Weapon: ''Shredder Gun''

SPARKs do not have utility slots like regular soldiers. Instead they have a single Heavy Weapon slot which by default contains the Shredder Gun. After researching appropriate projects, this can be swapped out for the improved Shredstorm Cannon or a Plasma Blaster.

The SPARK BIT has the ability to remotely hack targets just like the Specialist's GREMLIN.

SPARKs are 34% more expensive for infiltration.

Missions (LW2)

2017-01-25T18:16:47Z

Shortfriend: /* Types of Missions */

== Generating Missions ==

Missions in LW2 are generated on a regional level by collecting intel. You collect intel by assigning resistance cell members to the intel job at each resistance haven. As resistance members rank up, a rebel of rank 1 will collect intel at 150% the rate of an unranked rebel, and a rank 2 rebel collects at 200% rate. In addition, scanning with the avenger adds another 4 (unranked) rebels worth of intel gathering.

== Types of Missions ==

Jailbreak – XCOM must infiltrate an ADVENT jail and rescue key Resistance members. Success increases the strength of the Resistance in that region. ''concealed''

Recue VIP - XCOM must lead a VIP to the extraction point. ''no concealment''

Haven Defense – A variation on Retaliation missions where XCOM must defend Resistance members against an onslaught of ADVENT forces until the Skyranger can get into position for extraction. ''no concealment''

ADVENT Base Assault – XCOM must deploy to and overtake a well-defended regional military headquarters. ''concealed''

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.

Rendezvous – A Faceless disguised as a member of the Resistance is detected as it goes to meet with its ADVENT handlers and XCOM must hunt it down. ''concealed'' NOTE : breaking concealment will cause the Faceless to transform, even when out of LOS.

ADVENT Supply Raid – XCOM must defend a supply convoy and its Resistance personnel from ADVENT attacks.''no concealment''

ADVENT Intel Raid – ADVENT attacks a Resistance listening post and XCOM must repel the attack.

ADVENT Recruiting Raid – ADVENT forces attack Resistance recruiters within a region. XCOM must extract those Resistance members.

== Collecting Enemy Corpses ==
Long War 2 uses the correct term for military equipment and supplies: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materiel materiel].

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. There are a few ways to determine a mission will allow you to keep corpses:
* There is no mission timer.
* The mission lists the reward of "enemy materiel".

The following mission types allow collection of enemy materiel:
* Ambush troop column
* Supply raid
* Intel raid
* Invasion
* Rendezvous

===Strategy===
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.

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 do this which will increase their detection range, evac delay, and reinforcements strength.

Shortfriend: /* Personnel */

Havens represent a liberated region of the geoscape and is the hub of information for both XCom's and Advent's strength in the region.

== Personnel ==
Resistance personnel can be assigned jobs from either the geoscape tower icon or the commander's quarters of the Avenger. Personnel represent resistance members and are not soldiers. they will only fight in specific types of battles involving the haven. The personnel can be assigned one of four jobs:
* Intel: generate a small amount of the intel resource and discover missions in the region. Intel will reveal advent activities, they are always here, you just do not know about them yet
* Supplies: generate supplies resources which will be delivered at the end of the month in the supply drop.
* Recruit: attempt to find new resistance personnel with a rare chance to find soldiers, engineers, or scientists.
* Hidden: perform no production but this can help reduce the Advent strength in the region and avoid haven raids.
You can have up to 12 haven personnel actively assigned, any more personnel in the haven will automatically be hidden an cannot be assigned. They can be used as a buffer for retaliation

Resistance personnel can also be acquired as mission rewards. Personnel can gain up to two ranks indicated by zero, one, or two stars next to their names. They are more effective at their task and gain random soldier perks.

== Advent Strength ==
The Advent strength stat describes the number of troops in this region and will increase the baseline enemy strength of missions in the region. Any personnel action besides hidden will cause this to rise.

== XCom Liaison ==
One XCom soldier, scientist, or engineer can be assigned as an liaisonto a region by clicking the box in the upper left of the management screen.
* Soldiers: boost the recruitment action and are the only way to discover Advent infiltrators. The soldier will also be available on any mission in which the resistance personnel take up arms.
* Scientists: boosts intel jobs.
* Engineer: boosts supply jobs.
Soldier rank increases their effectiveness and any equipment the soldier had equipped before assignment will be available to them on haven missions.

== Advent Infiltrators ==
New resistance personnel can be Advent infiltrators, the only indication that this is the case is an "unknown cause" penalty to your monthly supply reward. Assigning a soldier liaison to a haven will eventually reveal the infiltrators and initiate a haven mission to eliminate them.
