Seriously? A game about lewd pirate girls beating up people including lots of other women, running prostitution rings and assembling shota slaveboy harems for themselves. A game where the 'pedia is brimming with lewds and you can have your girls go on missions in the buff. And you're somehow offended by "muh stonk wimminz"? Get a fucking grip.
On the other hand there are legitimate criticisms of xpiratez. It is total feature overkill to the point it's actually quite RAM hungry.
A more serious criticism is that it has some very annoying research bottlenecks where you need to get some capture or drop that only occurs extremely rarely.

Not as much idiotic RNG like NUCOM where there is no ballistics simulation at all and whether you hit or not is entirely based on one single check. Even if your bullet has to go through solid steel, if it passes that check, it will phase right through it in NUCOM.

I can see that. The original games use a system where they shuffle hand made terrain blocks and that creates the map. The new games use that exact system except they changed how the enemies react - being activated on a pod-by-pod base as opposed to map wide.
So if the maps suck in the new ones that comes from handholding and or bad level design.

You're right. It's a core problem that in EU/EW they only mitigated with Meld yet in 2/Wot(((C))) they only made one biome(?) where using explosives will fucking rape you on higher difficulties. In LW1 meld matters less so and OW crawling is THE optimal strategy while in LW2 they mitigated that by simply making grenades have a cooldown (unless you're a grenadier) and deal much less environmental damage so you can't easily clean up.

And the easiest way to achieve that is with using explosives to destroy the cover. If you carry enough grenadiers you can essentially pull it off very easily. I have no clue if Wot(((C)))'s has done much more than what I have played of it to discourage that playstyle with the (((chosen))) but from what I can tell, they don't do that much. And as >>14050255
until you get battle scanners and scanning protocol (or you know there's nothing there) than trying to go for a flank is going to get your soldiers killed more often than not. Personally, the best way for me to deal with it is by using high ground which is very easy to get in 2.

If you destroy the cover you don't get the flanking multiplier. And that shit's kinda important with all the HP mutons and such have on higher difficulty or LW.

Pretty sure you do get flanking bonus regardless if they're in cover or not. If it's a LW2 thing than I didn't really notice as I actually flank in that due to how pitiful explosives damage is unless you're a Rocketeer technical (and that's unreliable as fuck).

It's not that mission the problem. At the start of every turn, in any mission, the game might crash while saving, erasing the savefile. The glitch is so common that it usually happens before you reach the first blacksite mission, very early in the game. There is no official fix for this gamebreaking bug.
But wait, there's more. The glitch was introduced with the patch that made the base game compatible with the expansion. Firaxis themselves said they are not planning on patching the base game anymore. So the base game is permanently broken. If you buy the expansion, then there is a chance that, someday, somewhere, firaxis might fix the fucking game. It's being 3-4 months since launch, the game is still broken.

I am. Because it did. Your bullets actually traveled along a path unlike in NUCOM.

I remember tweaking mostly things related to the air combat, injury and fatigue times etc.

I'm having a pretty good time at the moment. Also, got all the WotC versions of these >>14024894, but is there anything else I should get for the DLC?

without steam workshop? how? xcom modder are assholes who only post WotC update on the shitty steam workshop (the thing that break your save if you play offline or if autor remove the mod) and not on nexus.

Steamsale
I pirated the game to see how I liked it and how well my computer could run it first tho, figured I'd be playing it for a while so I bought it.

even with steam sales it's 46€ … or 30 if you already have the base game.
and regardless if i had it. stam workshop suck ass depending on the dev/publisher.
Here, for xcom2:
You aren't downloading and instaling any mod.
You just sub to them and they load when you start the game. meaning offline mode = no mod + enjoy increase is starting time since you have to load all thoses mods
and if they suddently disapear from the SW: you can t load them anymore. and you save is fucked.
that also mean you can t tweak thoses mod for yourself.
a mod that give randomness to the stats upgrade? you want to be a +2 or -1 roll compare to the base value but the mod is set for +/-2 ? => you're fucked.
somehow, i feel like you can judge the modding community of a game based on their upload on nexus and other Mod HUB rather than the controled, lock and subscribing mod HUB that is steam workshop.
Maybe i would have bought WotC but since this implies loosing all my mods…
regardless of how many new stuff the dlc add: this will mean i would lose much more content than what the adc add. meh .. moreover when only the templar trully interest me since he is a "melee/warrior" psi ops

nevermind that >>14053582 i just had to search a bit more.
i found i way to get (((nearly))) all steam workshop's mod without goind there:
http://xcom2.smods.ru/
(((nearly))) because it depend on the modder. if the autor do not want upload outside Steam workshop, aside from being a scumbag that mean you can t DL there. but 95-99% of the mod are available
this mean that if do not have a legit version you can still enjoy mods
