Long War 2By Pavonis Interactive (formerly Long War Studios) http://www.pavonisinteractive.com

Join Our Discord Long War 2 is a significant overhaul of XCOM 2 aimed at giving players the feel of running a worldwide guerrilla war against ADVENT and offering them a greater variety of strategic and tactical experiences.Many of the mod's new mechanics are described ingame in the XCOM archives. Players are strongly encouraged to read those entries immediately after finishing Gatecrasher.Features include:1) A much longer campaign, running for 100 to 120 missions on average2) Infiltration mechanics that require you to send out multiple squads at once3) Manage resistance Havens and have resistance members scrounge for supplies, gather intelligence or recruit more people to your cause4) Nine soldier classes: Sharpshooter, Shinobi, Ranger, Assault, Gunner, Grenadier, Specialist, Technical and Psionic (plus Sparks for DLC owners), each with unique secondary weapons5) Two new weapon tiers, lasers and coilguns6) Dozens of new enemies and smarter battlefield AI7) ADVENT strategic AI that tries to counter your moves----------------------------------------------------------- COMPATIBILITY -------------------------------------------------------------This is a "total conversion" of XCOM2 and will not work with other total conversions. It does include a new XComGame.upk.Long War Studios' / Pavonis Interactive's mods SMGPack, AlienPack, LeaderPack, Toolbox, PerkPack, and LaserPack are already integrated into this mod (with different settings and functionality) and should NOT be activated when playing campaigns.Other mods may not necessarily work given the depth of changes.---------------------------------------------------------------- TROUBLESHOOTING -----------------------------------------------------------------If you are have problems with the mod, you should first exit the game and REGENERATE YOUR INI files by deleting all files in \Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config. These will be recreated on your next game start. If that does not resolve your issues, you may need to verify XCOM2 back to its vanilla state in Steam before activating this and other mods.An additional temporary workaround to crashes when starting a new campaign is to move all of your old save files out of \Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\SaveData.---------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION -----------------------------------------------------------------Manually Installing the mod1) After unzipping, Copy the contents of the mod package to the directory \Steam\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XComGame\Mods\Manually Uninstalling the mod1) Remove the folder \Steam\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XComGame\Mods\LW_Overhaul\------------------------------------------------------------- PERMISSIONS --------------------------------------------------------------Free for noncommercial use: Modders are free to use material from this in their own works, as long as credit is given.------------------------------------------------------------- LANGUAGES ----------------------------------------------------------------Long War 2 is supported in all XCOM2 languages.-------------------------------------------------------------- CREDITS -------------------------------------------------------------Design LeadJohn "JohnnyLump" LumpkinTechnical LeadRachel "Amineri" NormanProgrammerJonathan "tracktwo" EmmettArtistsSMGs, Muton Centurion, Drone, Naja, Sidewinder, MEC Archer, Holotargeters, Combat Knives, Sectoid Commander, Resistance MEC, 2D Art, Concept Art, AnimationsJames "JCLewis" KarlsonLasers, Coilguns, Sawed-off Shotguns, Muton Elite, Hive Queen, HolotargetersChris "Capnbubs" Mansell (@capnbubs)Concept Art, 2D Art and iconography, Load Screens, Technical ArtDana "lfish" Henderson (http://www.danaillustration.com/) Arc Throwers and Contributor, LasersRobert "BazserMazser" BakosTechnical Artist, Programmer, ADVENT Grenade LauncherAlexander "XMarksTheSpot" Behne"Rocketflamer" GauntletPercy Parache (http://www.percyparache.com) Quality Assurance LeadTim "Bilfdoffle" EvansQuality Assurance and Design AdvisersMatt "WyMANderly" PriceXavier Wynns (https://www.youtube.com/xwynns) Stephen "JoINrbs" Flavall (https://www.twitch.tv/joinrbs) Tim "deaconivory" DouglasCaitlin McDonaldPaul "Kordolius" MassipBenedict Jacka "Saph"Colin "Thrair" HendershotPaul "Plockets" GilesGimrahRonar--------------------------------------v 1.0 (1.19.17) - First release.v 1.1 (1.28.17) - Patch 1.1v 1.2 (2.26.17) - Patch 1.2v 1.3 (5.14.17) - Patch 1.3v 1.4 (5.21.17) - Patch 1.4v 1.5 (8.27.17) - Patch 1.5Patch details are posted here --------------------------------------The mod does not support controllers.As of a 2/8 patch to the base game, the mod is now supported for Mac and Linux.This mod is translated into all supported XCOM 2 languages: Spanish, French, German, Russian, Polish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.To provide feedback and bug reports, please visit the Pavonis Interactive forums.
