Missing Tech Items? End game Missions with no Tech Rewards.
I'm at 75% and am missing 2 troop upgrades (level 3 Kastelan, Level 3 Kataphron) and 2 ship upgrades.

I can see the final mission, but the other missions I have available do not drop any items (either on the mission screen or from events/glyphs in mission) and only give out Blackstone.

Is my game effectively over?

Should I just do the final mission? Am I wasting time doing the remaining missions? Do missions ever run out?

The missions do run out. 12 for Scav, 11 for Videx, 11 for Khepra, 5 for Rho, 6 boss missions, 5 Heretek mission, and 7 secret missions (use spacebar to access them).

I have missed some upgrades as well, typicall level 3 rangers, slots for missions, and blackstone reduction for troops.

If the game is over is up to you, you can maybe find the few upgrades. Also you can create a save file and then do the final boss, and afterwords go back to the save file to get the rest of the upgrades.

Thanks for the reply Toaster.

I kept playing until I ran out of missions. The missing items did not drop. When a "tech drop" glyph appeared it gave nothing or sometimes +CP.

I guess there were some rooms I missed while playing earlier. It's VERY annoying to put so much time into a game and not see what the best support units were like at lvl 3.

I love this game, very well done, but there are some issues. Although I enjoyed the stories, the choices for rooms did not always make sense and it was frustrating that there was no game mechanic to reliably help me make a choice.

I'd have preferred a +/- option. Get an item for +3 time against you, or -4 time but everyone loses -4hp. Something like that for late game would have made exploring less a grind/annoying.

The balance is waaaay off in this game. It's just too easy. By the time you get lvl 3 units you really don't need them at all (I played on Hard).

I'd have preferred using support units in the early game and then only getting the 6x priest beasts at the end game. Would have made the experience way more fun and given the player different play styles as he progressed.

Overall a great game but some flaws keep it from being perfect.

The tech drop glyph only has a certain number of uses and a limited pool of what it can give. Have not done enough research into this mechanic to give details. Starting to think there are more items than item drops points.

I have never gotten the lv 3 skitarii ranger, kinda not happy about it but not a deal breaker.

Balance is this game is laughable if you know what to do. Hopefully the next dlc will change it.

Fingers crossed they fix the balance but I think it's too late for such an overhaul. I'd love to see a second version of this game!

It only gives tech that isn't a reward show for mission completion and that doesn't need another item as pre requisite. For example, if you have the Xenarite Axe (lvl 1) unlocked and a quest on your roster shows the Xenarite Axe (lvl2) as reward, you'll never get the Xenarite Axe (lvl 2) or Xenarite Axe (lvl 3) as a reward from the STC Glyph or from plot quests on the map. If no item has those conditions met, then you won't get any item that way, until one item meets the aforementioned criteria.
Also, there's a super special secret set of... uh, 6 missions, which are probably hiding some equipment. To find them, play around on the portrait select screen... ;)
