Igor, belive me, when you get into lw2 or lwotc, and best way is playin - losin at start, it would be best game you ever played. what i can say is that i got to the point where i knew vanilla (+mods) WotC so well that i just walked through it on commander with no challenge. These buffs make the ai much stronger in melee combat both offensively and defensively, and while they get a strong offensive missile buff they are just as vulnerable to missiles as they would be on normal battle difficulty. Originally posted by igor140:i never played a full campaign of LW2 (it rolled out like two weeks before WotC did), so i can't compare directly. during my 4 month Veteran run, i've lost one, and had another 7 wounded much more manageable. Point of comparison: during my 2 month campaign on Commander, i lost three units and had another 13 wounded, meaning that i was unable to field enough units to even attempt missions. but i think i've only ever seen maybe 2 actual intel increases out of them in four months. i have 15+ resistance members supposedly farming Intel for me. I'm 4 months into this campaign, and i still don't know to meaningfully build Intel. but it seems more likely that the mod authors just want to kill off my units. If you're a long-reigning ruler with high diplomacy and good vassal relations, this is merely annoying. So if you're at war for 4 years, your vassals will end up with a -20 opinion of you which takes 4 years to wear off. it could well be that some of the mods i'm running are conflicting in weird ways and causing enemy stats to be too high. This penalty will increase as long as your vassals' levies are raised, and will slowly decrease at the same rate it increases. While it is an amazing mod, one of its downsides is that the new geoscape and other mechanics are not explained well enough. ground battles no longer take 90- 120 minutes, i'm only outnumbered 3:1, and enemies actually miss their shots. Beginner strategy for Long War 2 This free mod for XCOM 2 increases the time, complexity, and difficulty of the XCOM 2 campaign. I now cranked the difficulty down to veteran, and i'm enjoying it much more. If those things are present in LW2, you may fare better than i did. outnumbered 5:1, and enemies get ~50% increased mobility, meaning they can find high cover every single time, period.Īlso, enemies get three action points when they discover you, so that's awesome. enemies with 80%+ hit rate even when my guys are in full cover. what i can say is that i got to the point where i knew vanilla (+mods) WotC so well that i just walked through it on commander with no challenge.
