In General

Various indicators occur in Long War Rebalanced to help a player understand some of the underlying mechanics of the tactical gameplay.

F1 Panel

In this panel you will see various attributes on the unit you are selecting as described here:

F1InfoDesc.png

You can select an enemy by aiming at them and then pressing F1, or one of your units by selecting them and pressing F1.

Below the attributes listed you will see various information on current perks, quirks, bonuses, and maluses that are effecting the unit.

Cover Shield

The cover shield (to the right of unit's HP pips) will vary between full (full cover), half filled (partial cover), and empty (no cover). It will also vary between teal (XCOM no flank), red (enemy no flank), and yellow (flanked).

Shield Type Cover Status
Full Full Cover (+50 Defense, +50% DR)
Half Full Partial Cover (+30 Defense, +30% DR)
Flying (+30 Defense)
Absent No Cover
Shield Color Cover Status
Teal XCOM Not Flanked
Red Enemy Not Flanked
Yellow Flanked

DR Shield

The DR Shield (to the left of a unit's HP pips) is a grey shield that will appear if a unit has any % damage resistance (%DR). It will 'fill up' based on how much % DR the unit has.

As well, there is often a number on the shield which represents the %DR.

DRShield.png

Targets in Sight

The HUD icons for aliens in sight will now reveal who is overwatching the unit you have selected by displaying a target icon Overwatchicon.png beside their alien head in the bottom right.

The alien head HUD icons for aliens in sight will change based on the enemy type:

  • Landed Biologic = Red
  • Flying Biologic = Blue
  • Landed Mechanical = Grey
  • Flying Mechanical = Bluish Grey
  • Alien Leader = Longer
  • At Squadsight = Transparent

HUD Ability Icons

Ability icons on the Ability HUD in the tactical game will have different colors based on how many APs they consume upon use. They can be teal (2 AP), green (1 AP), purple (0 AP), grey (no use during XCOM scamper), faded out (out of ammo or charges), and yellow (boosted).

HUD Ability Color Effect
Teal 2 AP
Green 1 AP
Purple 0 AP (free)
Red XCOM Scamper (Unavailable)
Absent Not Useable
Faded Out Out of Ammo/Charges or Cooling Down
Yellow Boosted

HUDability.png

In the above example this soldier has the following abilities: Standard Shot (1 AP), Overwatch (Boosted), Alien Grenade (2 AP - 1 Charge), and Flight Mode (0 AP).

Range Indicators

Close Combat Specialist, Close Encounters, Stun Rifle, Repair, Medikits, and Lone Wolf all have range indicators that appears as circles around either the unit or the targets of the ability. The range indicators may be centered on potential targets (e.g. Close Encounters) or the unit itself (e.g. Lone Wolf).

Eyes

Eyeindicator.png

Small Eye

This eye might appear directly above units.

Each unit (both friendly and enemy) that can see the location of the cursor will be indicated by with a small green eye. This allows you to determine which units would be in vision after moving to the location of the cursor.

Above the small green eye will be a number which represents the number of tiles away each unit is from the position of the cursor.

If the cursor is in a position that the currently selected unit moved to and would flank a unit, there will be an "F" beside the number of tiles above the small eye.

The small green eye will turn into a red eye if only a unit with the squadsight perk would be able to see the unit from the location of the cursor.

Large Eye

This eye might appear above the cover shield of a unit.

Aliens will have a red eye icon if they are on overwatch.

For XCOM this eye will be teal if they are on overwatch.

HP and Action Point Indicators

The Armor HP color of XCOM units is always white and the Base HP color of XCOM units are always colored:

XCOM Base HP Color Status
Green Turn Available
Pink Turn Complete
Grey Base Damage Resistance in multiples of 20
Black Hunkered Down


The Armor HP color of alien units is also always white and the Base HP color of alien units are always colored, but differ from XCOM:

XCOM Base HP Color Status
Gold Base HP of Champion Alien
Purple Base HP of Leader Alien
Red Base HP
Grey Base Damage Resistance in multiples of 20
Black Hunkered Down


The Action Point (AP) indicators on XCOM characters are the 2 rectangular arrows below your soldier's HP. They do not appear on aliens.

AP Indicator Color Status
Red (Priority) Enraged
White (Priority) XCOM Scamper
Orange (Priority) Danger of Triggering Reaction Fire
Yellow Officer Unit
Purple Psionic Unit
Green Genetically Modified Unit
Grey Robotic Unit
Teal Regular Unit
