Hey guys, I'm finally getting serious about doing a playthrough of the Long War mod for XCOM: Enemy Within and decided to invite TL along for the ride as a way to give some content back to a site that I've gotten a ton of enjoyment out of over the years. Since I have no real artistic background and am terrible at SC2 I decided to share me making an idiot out of myself in video form with a let's play.

What is Long War? It's a mod that adds more tech, items, and difficulty to the game. It adds some new features, and fixes more bugs than it adds. Sadly there are no new maps added because Firaxis refuses to release any sort of mapping tools.

[image loading]

If you want more info you should check it out over at Nexus.

You can follow the action either on my stream or the VODs on my Youtube channel, or just follow along here. I normally stream mid-day or after 9 PM (CST). I don't have a set streaming schedule, but I do play/post at least 2-3 episodes per week.

If you want to get horribly murdered join our glorious defense of Earth, just ask. I'll generally grant all requests and have plenty of worthless rookies valuable soldiers in need of new names.

Let's get this thing started.

The Ideas are great, but there should be a light version of this Mod. I seriously can't be asked to play a 200hr playthrough.

There is a second wave option "Not so long war" that reduces the number of missions in the game (and the cost of projects/manufacturing). I'm not sure exactly how much shorter it makes them though.

Even with that option, it's still a long ass campaign make no mistake.

You can never have enough Xcom! I'll check out the vods since I can't watch the stream at your hours

that reminds me that i really wanted to play long war some time ago, but couldnt bring myself to doing the (in my eyes) terrible unfun interceptor minigame. maybe i will give it another try because you can indeed never have enough xcom.

Good game. I've wanted to play that mod for a while but I've still not finished my runthrough of Enemy Within (I'd already completed XCOM before the expansion pack came out so finishing it a second time around, whilst fun to play with the new stuff, just feels like retreading old ground towards the end).

Maybe I'll give it a go now I've got more time. But if you're LPing I'm up for being one of the soldiers.

Terrible planes are what pushed me to go for an asia start, even knowing NA is probably better all around. I really really want to upgrade my planes ASAP.

Episode 2 is up, with our first council escort mission.



Names have been added, but they don't show up until the next episode. I tend to wind up recording/streaming in spurts, then releasing a VOD every 2-3 days so I release regular videos instead of posting a ton of videos over a couple days and then nothing for like a week.

There are plenty. I'll need an active roster of 40+, plus replacing all the guys that die.

I've played a lot of Long War XCOM myself. You can add me to the name list, if there is room, so I can be horribly murdered as well.

You can use my name as well. It will be funny to see, if "I" can kill some aliens before I hit the floor.
Just asking: Is long war and "enemy within" compatible? If so, can I be a mech?

Yep, long war is compatible with EW. It technically exists for Enemy Unknown, but only as an older build that isn't undergoing further development. I'll make a note you want to be a MEC, but it'll be several more months in game before I unlock that tech.

Sorry for the delayed update, my PC has been deciding to spam me with BSODs so I've been fighting that instead of playing.

Episode 4 is up, let's go visit a large landed UFO. What can possibly go wrong?

Second best, since I already named one after myself.
