Stratagems

[S L A Y E R]

Hey guys. A question...there is a bug going around with stratagems? It happend to me a lot that I call an Eagle and came a support gun...or I call a support gun and came an orbital strike.. the stratagems dont work correctly in a lot of missions for me. Is a know bug....or is just me.....

Sorry
Dont follow you...is a modifier?
Is something that I do?
The thing is i call an Eagles and before throw it I can see that charge me anither thing (ej a support gun) so i have to do it again and again and again

Press C on the war map before selecting a mission

I've noticed this too today, I know to look at the "effects" screen and 3 planets haven't had the scrambled modifier active.

Pretty sure this is a very annoying bug as I cycled through all of my stratagems and none of them would select the 500kg bomb option.

Some missions come with modifiers that change something thats going on in the mission.
In this case the conection to your destroyer is so bad that the stratagem calls get mixed up.
Like, you send one information but your ship receives a different.

Theres also other effects, like expended time until something gets delivered or you can only pack in 3 instead of 4 etc.

The scramble modifier is a campaign modifier. You get random modifier every campaign (which are the blocks of several missions together) and you can see it by hitting c (if I recall well) before entering your pod or before the mission.

So, what the scrambled stratagem modifier do is that it randomise what you get when you complete a stratagem. When you have this modifier you need to wait with your ball in your hand and look at the left of you screen and it will tell you what you are actually going to call down. If it isn't what you want then cancel (easiest way is simply to hit 1, 2 or 3 to switch to a weapon) and try again. It will only ever switch to something which is not on cooldown so after a while your chances of not getting something you want get pretty small.

some operations have modifiers which affect stratagems. Like longer cooldown time or less accurate orbital ones. There is a modifier which causes you call down the incorrect stratagem. You can all check before you throw it (it will say in the top left corner which one is being called before you throw it)

Therer are modifiers on certain planets, some are good some are bad, its all at the behest of the DM's choosing.

The planet/campaign you are on has a Global modifier that SCRAMBLES your stratgems (think of it like a randomizer), it randomly selects your stratgems instead. look carefully at your strats you use when you call it down and youll see.

The last modifier we had was FREE Incendiary Eagle drops, and before that was a scrambler as well, and before that Free incendiary mines.

They are being a little consistent with giving us boons/banes. though im pretty sure next one coming is probably going to be another bane because we are doing so well on the fronts, probably an additional reinforcement phase like the Malevelon creek.

It's normal, it's something that affects the specific planet you're on. If you move to Erata Prime or something, you won't get it anymore.

Just input the commands for the stratagem you want, but don't throw it until you've confirmed it's the one you want. If it isn't, just input the same commands, or go for another stratagem that will get scrambled into giving you the stratagem that you actually want. Like you want to call a cluster bomb but the game's giving you incendiary mines, so you input the commands for the incendiary mines until it gives you the cluster bomb.
