Although you’d think it would be cool to have troop variety, and it sort of is, the trouble is the grain of things like Defence is too coarse (scale of 10 or so?), with the result that you can easily end up with some weedy troops with high aim, and then a whole bunch of completely useless guys. Whereas vanilla really didn’t have nearly enough of the juicy ground missions, and was over too quickly, vanilla LW just goes too far the other way - not enough new toys per mission count, so instead of missions being juicy things you look forward to, they become a chore. Much as I love the mod to bits, I gave up with my first run through a while ago (though I got up to having Mecs, had started on genetics and psy, and had finished Exalt) because I just felt bogged down with mission after mission after mission after mission after mission. I think I might try that option for my second playthrough. It was just too much combat and not enough new things for me. You will be doing DOZENS of combat missions between any sort of action completes on the overworld map. I made the mistake of not doing this the first time I was playing through the mod and it takes FOREVER. I don’t believe the WIKIis 100% up to date but it’s close enough. They take repair time now and you can easily get your entire fleet in the repair shop for a month on 1 UFO. Just ignore them because getting your fighters beat up on a large (or medium) UFO early on can basically FUBAR your game.
There is almost no chance you’ll down a large UFO early on (it may not even be possible with the starting fighters) or if it lands you have little chance of winning that battle. You need to ignore them or if it’s a battle - run. One thing that took me a few games to beat into my head (even though they mention it in their FAQ’s) - early on the game will throw things at you that you are not supposed to be able to beat. I’ve been playing on normal and it’s plenty challenging (I’ve beaten the original on Classic Ironman). If you try to learn it blind and you don’t plan on playing quite a few games to learn you will get frustrated. The Air game is MUCH harder so you should read about that and a the other new mechanics before you play. don’t play “real” ironman) you won’t lose anything if it happens. I’ve had a few CTD’s but they are rare but as long as you have autosave on (i.e.
If modding is your thing, read on for what it adds.I’ve been playing it a lot lately and it’s great. This mod is unique from other games in that developer Firaxis has worked closely with Long War developer Pavonis to make the mod possible. The mod is an overhaul mod similar to the Long War mod that was popular for players of the first game. Players can download the mod by visiting the Steam Workshop page. The popular Long War mod for XCOM 2 is now available for players on PC.
