Anyone have any thoughts?

I would tend to start on either NA or Africa to be able to take a full continent with three sats. I think it's hard to go wrong with Nigeria (+1 mobility all troops), any of the psi ones, or Cheyenne Mountain.

Is there an easy way to have both vanilla and long war installed on the same PC? I kind of want to start am Army of Four campaign, but don't want to have to reverify files each time I switch back to it.

no real elegant option, if you really want to you can install the games twice on different hard drives and mod one of them,

So I started playing XCom again (Enemy Unknown) on Impossible...
After a lot of failed first missions (i try to keep everyone alive in the first mission) I finally got to my first Abduction mission.
I played very careful, first group I used my Heavys rocket to kill 2 Sectoids, the third one is far far away in the fog, suddenly 8 Sectoid spawn RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!

[image loading]
yup, all of these sectoids(except 1) spawned right there and immediately attacked me, i had no chance :<

god I love this game ;D

does this still happen in Enemy Within?

Yeah, it still happens in Enemy Within.

It also happens in the mod for Enemy Within called Long War. Long War is basically a new expansion with sooooo many changes and soooooo many new things and best part is that its free. Anyone here will recommend Long War because its an amazing mod.

I've had so many "Oh shit" moments in Long War.

I think there's less teleporting in EW than EU, but it definitely still can happen. My Army of Four run had a fun moment with a cyberdisk suddenly appearing in the middle of my team, flanking everyone.

didnt lw get rid of the teleporting and the aliens now move through the map? in vanilla they could literally teleport just behind you. in lw they may still overwhelm you, but if you treat carefully real bullshit situations should not happen.

it still happen occasionally, some maps are more likely than others like the dlc dam map, also exalts tp around more often. LW developers did a good job cleaning up those bugs, they don't happen that often anymore

Originally, aliens don't move. They teleport to move. This was changed in EW I believe. I think LW made some changes too, but I can't remember what they are.

Anyways, aliens in LW can still teleport, but it's more due to buggy pathing and having insufficient space for enemy units.

Yeah it's happening.

There are also lots of rumors about this being an xcom apocalypse remake, but there's no solid evidence to back up that claim at the moment. The only thing that's really confirmed is that it's another xcom game.

I have about 15 hours in Enemy Within. And watching Shenryrr ( streamer/YouTuber) playing Long War really makes me interested in trying it out. Should I try it even though I did not play that much of the normal game?

Oh yeah definitely, it's so much better. Vanilla is like playing Skyrim, Oblivion or M&B Warband without mods to me

If you are enjoying your normal playthrough I would say keep enjoying it and finish that before looking to Long War.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

if you really, really enjoy the xcom gameplay, then go for long war. its better in every way. the only "negative" point i can see is that a campaign takes so long to finish that at times it can become frustrating to play countless mission without any noticable progression or even abort a campaign after 50+ hours because you fucked up.

but if you love killing aliens in turnbased tactical combat, play long war. its soooo good.
