    I buyed this game with the "Year one edition" on the Steam. I didn't watch any guide or playthrough for the whole year. I had only minimal idea, how it works, what the differencies are there compared to the XCOM. All dlc enabled, somehow finished already. And now, 50 hours in the campaign, with last 22 % of surviving populace of humankind, i will found this about the ancient weapons?? I feel like i villager using the stone axe in the 17th century! :D Well, the blind first playthrough was unique experience, but it won't be the best one for sure :D The game is not really doing good job at explaining all of its aspects. I had no idea, what are these mysterious resourses and how to get them, until now ... :D

    Easy way to take out ancients as well as anything else in the game is War Cry and stun weapons. I use heavies with jump jet to get in close, war cry a group, and have others run in with neurazors to stun them. Easy peazy. Same thing with Chirons. I LOVE Chirons. They refine the best and one war cry without any stun makes them completely helpless. Only takes a few rounds of one troop to stun them to sleep.

      @PerunAU 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The Ancients missions are all mid-game (unless you leave them for later), focused on storming and defending the ancient sites, or seizing blueprints.
      They don't dramatically change the mission types overall and the main impact on the endgame is the gear you'll have access to and the number of locations you have to defend on the map.

    I said it when the game released, it's still true today: it is absolutely clear that there is no "math guy" on the balance/numbers side on the dev team. It shines through in all aspects of the game.

    • @teecee1827
      @teecee1827 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Yeah. You are given options which are basically useless next to options that are too advantageous to pass on, for basically the same price/investment. As a a consequence, lots of work the devs put in some aspects of the game are not taken advantage of and the game feels either unfair or railroady. I hope the Arkahm update set to release soon takes all these math problems into account and makes it more engaging to use some of the tools given at our disposition.

    A note about the Rebuke - beyond being an amazing weapon, it can also clear mist within its AoE. This is especially noticeable and useful during Scylla missions.

    SCYTHER:
    You missed a lot if you didn't build it!
    "It's hard to describe the effect of the Scyther..."
    - PP research description
    Scyther is actually an AoE weapon, a club with a CLEAVE effect able to hit multiple targets up to 2 tiles away.
    It also works on BIG targets as it can disable MULTIPLE body parts at once. Eg: two swings to a SCYLLA from the front -> both smashers are gone!
    There are also caveats to this attack:
    It is hard to hit BIG targets, eg. SPAWNERY gets ZERO dmg unless you hit an EGGPOD.
    Assault/Infiltrator -> Ninja with 600-690 AoE dmg
    Assault/Berserker -> Game-breaking Monster with 300-540 dmg and up to 70! movement able to clear *any* map in the first turn!

      I talk about this in the video. You need both an extraction site and a processing site for each resource.
      So for Orichalcum, owning the orichalcum mine and keeping an aircraft there will let you stockpile Orichalcum.
      You can't actually USE that orichalcum for anything though until you've cleared the Orichalcum forge, a separate site. You don't need to keep an aircraft at the processing site though.
      For each resource the sites are paired. Crystal mine is the crystal extraction site for example, and the crystal lapidiary or however you spell it is the processing site.

Have you and can you get all bases i think i have 7, iam sure i got a notice about extra scavenging sites available but that didnt seem to show much more on the map. whats another way for resources. iam allied with 2 factions(approx 95%) (Reached100%) and over 50% with Anu. any ideas.

    • @PerunAU
      @PerunAU 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would be keen to provide a video on strategic map tips, but it'd be great to have a few more details. What difficulty are you on and what are you spending most of your resources on for example? Are you overbuilding up facilities in your bases (activating 7 when you're under-geared seems excessive. I think I have 7 at the stage of the game you see me in).
      The one thing I will say is I suspect your teams have just been too slow.
      One team in a pair of Helios can get about twice as much work done as a tiamat crew, providing you're smart in how you set up your bases with living quarters. You can hit twice as many sites and missions per day, and since Pandorans scale up based on game time, moving quickly helps you get ahead of the curve.
      I don't have many more troops than you. I only recently got my third, 8 man team up, but my air fleet is 7 helios, a manticore, and a tiamat, with the slower stuff doing mining work. I'm going to get a Thunderbird soon just for low speed stuff close to home.
      As for gearing, I think trained soldiers usually matter more than gear. Tier 1s are fine though, especially the hel cannon, harrower, and pythagoras.

      @Darksiege357 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Bring 3-4 snipers, make a firing line, take out the cyclops ASAP. use the assaults to deal damage after the snipers shred armor with their LVL 6 ability. flank the small guys with the assaults, and if needed, use concentrated sniper fire to take out shields, as it also cripples the torso, reducing their HP to 80.
      When you flank the hoplites, it can mess up how they deploy the shield, so even if you can't fire at them in the same turn, it pays to flank them.
      For a final tip, all the enemies only activate based on proximity, so take the mission slow and only attack when your squad is in position and always stick together unless you need to flank.
