The DLC starts on January 3rd, with an ominous message from Disciples of Anu. Remember that you have to research The Phoenix Archives to see the bases on the Geoscape. They will have the Manticore icon next to them on the Geoscape.

There is a number of bases with a free Manticore (depending on difficulty level: 3 on Rookie, 2 on Veteran, 1 on Hero and 0 on Legend).

It is highly recommended that, at least the first time, you play Festering Skies with the hints and tips on (you can do this in the gameplay options), as these panels are used both to explain essential mechanics and for storytelling purposes.

To play the DLC you need to purchase and install Festering Skies (which is not part of the Year One Edition released in December 2020), start a new game and make sure that Festering Skies is selected. Walkthrough Initiating the DLC and starting conditions 2.3.1 New Jericho Air Force Division (100).2.2.1 Anu Winged aircraft doctrine (100).2.1.1 Phoenix Aerial Combat Program (100).1.10 Rewards for destroying the Behemoth.1.5 Engaging other aircrafts and Pandoran flyers.1.1 Initiating the DLC and starting conditions.Why cant you build AA turrets at bases? I could go on. Also the ship costs are the same as without the DLC enabled when you need to produce 3x the amount to intercept. WHAT WAS ALL THAT STRUGGLE FOR!!? The enemy is grossly faster than you, out guns and outspawns you. Or maybe launch my own fliers at enemy locations to soften them up? Np[e it ends, paragraph of text and game continues on. The final boss is a complete let down, I expected some awesome tech. Pure Anu with ramming ships, Synendrion with sniper lasers etc. Why aren't there unique ships with abilities? Why don't your ships level? This could negate the fact they have more hardpoints and offer unique gameplay styles. I don't activate it on future play throughs for that reason. You are left with more lost havens, more stress with nothing to show for it. You don't get some amazing ship or weapon or equipment after all the suffering. I would personally love to see these removed or reworked so that one hit doesn't gaurentee you will lose a fight unless you retreat and come back constantly.įestering skies sucks because it cripples the player with no payoff. On a side note, DOT (Posion, Flame) weapons are laughably unbalanced. You would of course, need to change the game so that flyers (but only transports) appear before mount egg hatches and unlock airweapons development from the start. The airgame is now something that can save you time and effort in the long run, rather than just being a punishment, since you can shoot down attacks and prevent tons of haven battles. You can infer where a base you can't see is, based on where the attacks are coming from. There is a reward for arming aircraft and establishing patrols, shooting down transports can grant rewards based on where it was going. This adds to key advantages to the gameplay:įaction aircraft could shoot them down & stealing their aircraft effectively helps the Pandorans make successful attacks.Īttacks can be seen coming and be intercepted. They would start unarmed, at the start of the game and develop weapons later as time moves on. Here is my simple change: Instead of this, attacks are now made by Pandoran transports. I think one simple change could make this DLC more rewarding and could have it make more sense 'as a part of the game' rather than just being a pile of salt added to an otherwise decent dinner.Ĭurrently, when you get attacked, the attack just 'magically' appears at a Haven or at your base. Festering Skies is pure salt and your game would probably be enhanced by never adding it to your playthrough.īut, it doesn't have to be this way.

Generally speaking, I think the game now is vastly better than it was when it first came out, but one thing really sticks out to me. They wanted to know if PP was worth playing in 2021 after the train-wreck of a campaign I put on my channel back when the insanely buggy game first came out.
