The way this works is that when a mission comes up, rather than immediately selecting your troops and starting it, you first send your squad to infiltrate the area. One final item I really like but that I’m having a hell of a time managing is the new infiltration system. Combine this with new classes, new weapons, new enemies, and new abilities, and again, Long War feels almost like a new game, just using the same basics and setting.
XCOM MORE ENEMIES MOD MOD
Speaking of squads, the mod increases the total size, and you can now bring up to 12 (or 10, not sure and traveling right now so can’t check), which also has a huge impact on the feel of the game. Even when you win, if too many soldiers are injured, that will cascade down to make future missions either much harder, or basically impossible. Upgrading the base is slow, there are more choices for research, and I don’t know if I’m ahead, behind, or on-pace in terms of the progression (I’m only about a month into it in-game).Ĭombat is also much harder, with more enemies per map, the AI being smarter, and since you have to run multiple squads at a time (more on why later), you don’t just run missions with the same 5 super-soldiers, which means how you distribute weapon upgrades and such is also more important. The resource management part is even more difficult in terms of deciding when to spend resources and on what, and resources seem even more scare so far.
XCOM MORE ENEMIES MOD FULL
I won’t do a full list of the changes as you can get that from the mod page, but I will touch on a few of them that I’ve noticed so far and that have left an impression.įirst and foremost, the game even on veteran difficulty is brutally hard. Recently the Long War mod has been released for XCOM 2, and it really is a total overhaul of the game. On paper I like some of what the mod does (more stuff), but wasn’t a huge fan of its main feature: making the game long via more missions to reach the end-goal. I also never played the Long War mod for XCOM 1, as it came out long after I was done with that game. All of which is to say that XCOM 2 hasn’t really been on my radar for a while. I didn’t love it as much as the original (which I played through twice, once on ironman), but I think that was a combo of it being a little too similar, and just at the time not being on a huge TBS kick like I was when XCOM 1 came out. When XCOM 2 originally came out I liked it, as it was more of XCOM, and the first game was great.
