Veteran Ironman Campaign thoughts

Last night after 1500 hours of Long War 1 and 1400 hours of Long War 2 I finally got my first "Long War" victory. I am super stoked (I'm probably also a slow learner but hey ...). I thought I'd take some time to write up my thoughts, and chose to do so here rather than on Reddit. Firstly t...

Dark event changes?

I had sent a squad to counter a dark event (the one where aliens get a bonus HP), the timer was quite long (14 days). Given that this was in June I decided that it was worth countering this dark event and sent a squad. The timer crosses month end (i.e. I got supplies), and 3 new dark events show up....

Suggestion for promoting liberation of regions

I've been giving some thought to what would be a "good" reward for libereating regions. I feel that there is a limited incentive for risking troops on the network tower / hq assault if you do not really need the supplies. I've also seen a number of people describe their wins and mention th...

Thank you so much for bringing back the fun

Hi Johnny / Amineri / James / Capnbubs (and anyone else who contributed), I've been playing on legend with the long war perk pack since release. A lot. Let's call it a good 30-40 hours so far. For background, I've played for 400 hours and managed one legend ironman win so far, bit most campaigns hav...

Re: LWS announces partnership with Firaxis and 2K Games for release-day XCOM 2 mods

I wanted to congratulate the team on this. I think that it shows what I really like about Firaxis and the community, and at the same time is a well-deserved reward for your efforts. I don't think many developers would have reached out like this and I don't think many teams have put such an amazing e...

Re: Brainstorm: Alien Motivation

So xcom?

Depends if you feel xcom was recruiting earth?

The idea I had was more along the lines of David brin's uplift war series, with client races that are judged ready to ascend.

Re: Brainstorm: Alien Motivation

Two of the motivations I favour for an alien invasion are: (1) It's a nasty neighborhood, but well you know... (2) You're in the army now / welcome to the club (1) It's a nasty neighborhood, but well you know... The invaders have suffered some cataclysm themselves, either natural disaster or themsel...
