The pace of Long War means many, many more missions than in vanilla XCOM. And training and maintaining soldiers has become a major part of the game. Put simply, the strategic game of ensuring satellite coverage and building the necessary base infrastructure moves much more slowly and requires much more long-term decision making than in the vanilla game.
And interceptor fighter craft are less effective and more expensive.
Everything in Long War takes longer and costs more to build than in "vanilla", but small items like armor now take time to build, as opposed to being manufactured instantly. So far I’m gaining.īuilding workshops and laboratories to speed up research and construction is an ongoing project. I’ve lost a couple of satellites to flying saucer attacks, but I’ve been able to bring new ones on at a rate of about one every 20 in-game days. This makes launching satellites much more expensive and tedious, like everything in else the mod. In Long War, each satellite uplink grants only one satellite, with an additional satellite granted for "adjacency" bonuses. I’ve had to sacrifice Africa (sorry), but all of North America and most of Europe and Asia are covered with satellites. I am nowhere near halfway through the campaign. I’ve been playing on weekends for the past few weeks, when I can. For a gauge on what these numbers mean, aliens by default get 1 research a day.I’m roughly 50 hours into my Long War experience. This is what the Long War wiki has to say about the numbers. There's a few other ways for aliens to increase their research beyond just UFOs. Depending on the alien's research and mission tables, they could have scraped enough together to send them earlier in the month. New aliens are not gated by what month they spawn, the wiki only shows you when you can expect them at a baseline. Even in March, your last mission can have floaters, thin men, and seekers.
If it was close to the end of April, and Mutons start spawning in May, it is entirely possible the aliens had enough research to start sending them early.
Towards the end of the month, depending on how well (they don't even need to be doing that well) the aliens are doing, you will start seeing certain enemies earlier than usual. I was going to say that this doesn't sound right until I read this, and now it makes sense. However, near the end of the second month.
