I totally understand the intimidation of adding tons of mods at once, as someone who mods his games any chance he gets, the increase of number and accessibility always becomes a mission in and of itself. I'm happy that my list that was created from frustration over seeing tons of "how to LWOTC2" reddit articles is helpful to many. I don't understand how continental heat works, but would I be good adding just that one mod to the DerBK mods?
Are there any mods which do that? Light Strategy Changes is the mod you seem to most emphasize other than DerBK's mods. Having never actually played LW2, I like the infiltration time mechanic, as it seems to require careful deployment of soldiers for multiple missions at once. Why isn't that in your list? I was sorta hoping that I could just run with DerBK's mods and be cool with the result. Three of DerBK's mods are in your list, but as far as I know he's done 4 mods, with A Better Campaign being the fourth. exe to my game, another thing altogether to try to install something like 2 dozen mods. I never bothered playing XCom EU or EW unmodded, started right off with Long War. Been playing Long War and Long War Rebalance for the past 2 years or so, and I think I'm ready to pick up the XCom 2 collection for Xmas this year. Hi volkanhto, I found your list very thorough and helpful. I assume "A Better Advent" and all its various bells and whistles are a must have, but does anyone have any other recommendations? Particularly in regards to campaign length and difficulty? Mostly what I want is the length, challenge, and tactical/strategic depth of a Long War campaign recreated as much as possible in the aggregate through mods. I couldn't care less about LW2's overly fussy stealth mechanics.
push back against the dreaded inverted difficulty curve, where the first month is a blood soaked nightmare and the final months are an effortless victory lap as your superhumans dismantle the alien forces without breaking so much as a thin sweat. I want a campaign that could hypothetically last weeks, not a single weekend.
True Marathon pacing, with equally slow ramp up in tech for both XCOM and the Aliens. And not in the "Legendary adds 25%" sense. A single death or squad wipe shouldn't spell an immediate game over.įAR SLOWER CAMPAIGN PACING.
Larger squad sizes, and no more A squad - rotating multiple squads with large unit counts. Now that Long War of the Chosen appears to be either dead or in stasis as a community project, I'm left with either not returning to XCOM at all, or trying to jury rig WOTC into something approximating a Long-War-Esque experience.
