no way i can get in time after destroy all plazma and i love it

This was a lot of fun. I didn't lose any squads until the last timed push, then I lost a few. Required a tactical, patient approach. As slow as you are going, the ambushes didn't really make much difference unless you got really unlucky. I hate the stupid plasma launches though, penalizing good tactical choices and ridiculous since they are for anti-fleet operations, obstacle reduction and strategic bombardment.

The map have many traps and generally I enjoyed

i just finished it lol, lost only a squad. My tip would be to advance very slowly and wait a while as the enemies can come more than once at the same position.

Plenty of people have finished it.

Unfair and unbalanced. I don't think anyone managed to finish it

I think I’m hearing the same feedback about balance regarding the ambushes. Without eliminating the ambushes entirely, they’ve been reduced enough as possible without straight up removing them

in STTA 02 ,without contact,and too many ambush,i have to move a step and save a step

Not sure what issue you’re facing, can you describe it in more detail?

In the absence of backup，Have no vision，Only sacrifice the squad to trigger the trap，i don't like it

@jemmitt2,
5 stars is the review rating of the mission, not the difficulty.

All missions from the Workshop are at normal difficulty and there is no difficulty select for Workshop missions at this time.

Thank your feedback otherwise.

You need to allow the difficulty setting. Some of these are just to difficult at five stars with no reinforcement. I play these games to enjoy them, not get frustrated and stress me out trying the same scenario over and over. The STTA scenarios at least had a medic and engineer to heal. Perhaps the ability to choose the units at start to allow variance in approach. For this, I give some of your scenarios a thumbs down. I like the fact that you spent the time on it, but the mechanics don't fit STTA's intended game flow.

Hi LionStein, I am still having problems with Company J not joining me. Is there something special I should do to delete and redownload this mission as I suspect I am still playing on an old map where underfoot ambushes occur as well.

Hey thanks for the answer, like I said I dont mind the ambushes too much. If you did nothing it would be ok, maybe just tweak the numbers, but thats what shotguns are for on vets lol. I had a great time and plan on finishing the campaign.

Hello RAGEDog! I'll do another balance pass and make sure surprise ambushes are not underfoot, but I do limit these in future missions!

keen, the large bug ambushes were nasty. I wouldnt want it all the time but nasty ambushes are kind of fun and different to the base game really made me have to react fast and get the blood bounding.

Fixed Company J not joining you.

If there are further reports of balance issues with ambushes, please provide screenshots/detailed description in the newly created Bug thread.

Lack of Reinforcing is and will remain an intended function of this mission and many others.

I'll review why Company J is not joining. Bug ambushes have been nerfed already from their previous state, and moved around so they are not in walking path (they do still ambush, just not directly under foot). If people can provide more information such as where, I can more strategically nerf ambushes.

Between the friendly AI not joining you, the sudden horde spawning on your troopers added with the , understandably, lack of reinforcing it makes this mission have a massive difficulty spike.

Yeah, I go there and they don't join. I'm guessing that nobody is reporting it because they don't really remember the STTA campaign or never even played it.

Hello Colonel Sanders Lite, do you go up to Company J, and when you get there do they join you? No one has reported issues regarding this.

Are those company J guys supposed to join you? They just stand there green for me.

@TonyWulf, I appreciate the feedback and comments regarding balance, and it is top of my list to revise and revisit balance in a future version. I appreciate where you’re coming from, I feel calling it the cheapest way to inflate difficulty is a bit much - when it is simply an oversight in my part I aim to correct. This was only my second mission ever and I have a lot more experience to in-turn provide a better experience. :)

As soon as I am complete on Mission 7, I will be providing a balance pass on this mission.

Thank you!

Having swarms spawn directly underneath squads is the cheapest way to inflate the difficulty of the mission. Instead of using what you learn in the base game and doing a lot of micro, instead the optimal way to finish is to send a single squad ahead to trigger all the pods and run back to a gun line where the previous ambush was

I appreciate the feedback Danneskjold! Balance was definitely something I was still learning, so I'll take another pass now that it's had a few months to breath! :)

This mission isn't as good as the first one. Bug swarms that open up when you're right on top of them really isn't any fun. My first (failed) playthrough had a swarm pop up right under my feet and totally wipe out my troops before I could even mouse over them.

I'm glad you enjoyed!! :D

Great homage to the old Starship Troopers Terrean Ascendancy. Thank you!

Updated to include new character portraits.

Let's try this! To destroy insects!

Thank you for playing!! I’m glad you enjoyed it! :)

2nd mission is very fun and thanks for uploading!

Thank you @bardockgolden!

great job!! Really fun mission! Make sure you check your spacing out there troopers!!
