Started a six-player game on a Normal-sized map. I selected 2 Continents with New World at Random, since I didn't want to be on a continent with just 1 other player, which I thought would happen if I chose 3 Continents. I guess there is a New World since we all spawned a few regions apart.

Just won my first campaign of LWOTC and thought it appropriate to celebrate o7

I didn't write it down and can't find the name, but I thought I saw a mod that lets you continue playing after completing Waterworld? It might be specific to Long War (like if you wanted to liberate all the regions). I want it because I'm running LifeTime Stats Redux and I want to see my soldier's individual stats post- final mission.

I'm about 130 mission into my first campaign (It's Feb. 1, 2036) and now that I've defeated the Chosen and done the Blacksite and Psi Gate, I was having trouble figuring out where I should be looking to run missions.

I also noticed that ADVENT strength had crept up to 9 in New Brazil without me noticing (oops!), so I need a better way to visualize the current situation. I made this slide in PowerPoint to try and guess where ADVENT is most likely to move troops and try to counter me.

Still have a few questions for you long war veterans:

• If ADVENT has the strength to run an Invasion (here from New India to East Africa), does that have priority over a Troop Transfer to an adjacent region (such as Eastern Europe or West Asia?) The [activity tables on Ufopedia](https://www.ufopaedia.org/ADVENT%27s\_Agenda\_(LWOTC)) give the Invasion a weight of 15 and Troop Transfer a wight of 40, but they are separated into separate section so I wasn't sure if they were decided separately or weighed against one another.
• What does ADVENT do with the Strength in a region , where Strength is higher than Vigilance, but none of the adjacent regions have Vigilance higher than Strength? Will those troops stay put or will they try to reinforce a region more than one step away? For example, will troops in East Asia here move through a high-strength/low-vigilance region (New Arctic) to reach a farther region ADVENT is looking to reinforce (West Asia)?
• Where would you be trying to detect missions in the above scenario? Up to now, I have only put all my rebels on Intel in regions where Strength <=2 in order to avoid a Raid, but this is becoming increasingly difficult in the lategame. Right now I'm looking for missions in Eastern U.S. and West Asia, but should I pivot to different regions and just prep for an Intel Raid?
• Also, Ufopedia says ADVENT will always do the Add Force Level (landing a UFO) mission in the safest alien region (uncontacted if possible). Which region is the safest region - the one with the highest strenght? Is vigilance or distance from a liberated region a factor? Here I would guess the safest alien region in New Brazil, but I know they have landed a UFO in New Indonesia in the last month or so.

Thank for your insight, and good luck Commanders o7
