Alien Leaders / Officers have been moved one UFO earlier in the progression to make the research tree less compressed in the late game (this means Caesan psions now appear in Light Scouts).
I don't understand how this decompresses research since I've never been able to research psionics.
I did a bit of digging into the game files and the xenopedia and noticed things like "Particle Cannon", "Colossus" armor, and "Saracen" an interceptor along with nanite workshops.
I believe the Particle Cannon is the singularity cannon and I'm wondering if the other unused items will appear in the final product.
This!
This is exactly what I have been saying.
Although I'm not certain that their TU's are that big a problem. Seems to me they can only sprint short distances.
Will the hotfix mess with my saves or is it just going to alter something minor?
Also, is there a way to defend against psi? Or at least can your soldiers build up a resistance?
How is anyone supposed to be able to complete this mission in the latest build?
There are 3 mind controlling aliens one of which has the ability to inspire dread which automatically cuts your TU's by 25 percent automatically. Is there something I'm missing? How do I get an effective defense going for psionics?
Yeah, but it's canon that the upper limit on the piercing ability of Reapers is steel, that alien alloys are exponentially stronger than steel, and certain armors are essentially full body suits of hardened alien alloys.
The math is quite clear.
