It's up on Steam Workshop now. I'll get it going on Nexus shortly. Will also start organizing the forums here.

Whaaa?! But I've got hours...HOURS...left at work. :(

Looking forward to it! Congratulations and thanks guys and gals.

EDIT; Just found the Reddit post on mods, so previous question about True Retroactive AWC no longer relevant.

I wonder how difficult it will be to change value this time... I still am unable to change stuff in the toolbox to my liking like I used too in the first long war >< maybe someone better then me at modding will do a tutorial to help! Would be nice.... also, cant wait to try it out~ I needed a change from total war warhammer! Nice ideas btw guys, I love the twist on the strategic layer!

Without spoiling how it works, that mod does not make sense with LW2. I think you'll enjoy the reason why. :)

Do we need the other mods from you guys activated, or is Long War the only one that needs to be turned on?

It's really too bad : just played the very first campaign mission and it's really nice.

Thank you so much! I predict many sleepless nights with Advent crushing my poor soldiers.

QUESTION: you guys mentioned someone going over 500 mods to see what would work with LW2, kind of like an unofficial "compatible" list (yes I understand everything might still break). I cannot find that list anywhere....where should I look?

Thanks again guys! <3

Faced a pod of an ADVENT Trooper, Sentry, Officer and Gunner. Flashbanged all four of them. All four of them shoot my soldier in cover, all of them hit her. Went from full health and armor to bleeding out in one enemy turn.

Thanks Pavonis, the first of many deaths.

You're quite welcome!

You may notice we've increased the chances of bleeding out.

Just wanted to drop by and say a big Congratulations to Johnny, Amineri and the rest of the team!

I finally managed to finish the regular Xcom 2 a month ago and was snooping around to see what is going on with Long War. Seems there is a lot !

Please let me know if and where an official wiki is planned and I will see what I can do to populate it. ;)

Check the UFOpaedia for a long war 2 wiki. It has all official XCOM games and long war 1. There isn't much on it right now but that should change over the next couple of weeks.

Hey Frozen Shepard,

Having a look at the UFOpaedia, the Long War 2 page was just created today!

Good news, since I am quite familiar with the layout and have worked already on the Long War 1 wiki.

Now all I need to know is how to extract some assets from the mod, especially icons, so we can put them on the wiki.... :)
