Bad Balancing in the late game?
So I played my current playtrough for a long time and I noticed, that the balancing in the later game just don`t work.

I´m in december and at the moment, alomost zero advent troops show up. instead I almost exclusively encounter archons, muton elites, and gatekkepers, plus reinforcements arrive at almost every turn. Even if I have 200 % infiltration, it changes nothing and the missions are still impossible. One of my regions is being invaed at the moment and I simply cannot keep it. Reinforcements every turn, the sensor to destroy almost 5 turns of complete sprinting away and reinforcements consiting of garekkepers and archons every turn make even a ten man squad have zero chance to get through.

Second thing: is the number of liberated regions somehow limited? I have three regions under control and even if I do every mission in the remaining two, the liberation chain simply doesn´t progress. It only spawns mission with "finding a lead" nothing else.

Mission sequence that leads to Liberation is this: Win 'Find A Lead', Rescue VIP, Capture VIP and then you get the 'Hack the Advent Tower' mission. When that's done you get to assault the Advent HQ in the region of the tower.

Yeah well, it seems like the capture vip won´t show up for, even after 3 months. sorry, bad the rng is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ or the triggers are bugged.

Bad RNG or maybe a mod conflict? I'm in November on Veteran have 3 regions liberated and 2 others with radio tower missions waiting on me, and 4 other regions still serving up lead missions when/if I bother to go on them. Only using mods that explicitly say compatible with LW2.

Just bugged rng for me. I have no other mods which effect the strategic layer, I also reloaded an older safe game and used one of robojumpers mods, which normally lead to a faster spawn of the liberation chain mission, but still no change.

and I had an unbeatable invasion mission. reinforcment directly after the second turn and 6 turns of complete sprinting to reach the beacon. without cheats completely unbeatable because of the number of enemies and reinforcements.
