The enemy has employed a new strategic AI that will be operating counter to your own efforts, under the same goal of finishing the Avatar Project. Keep this in mind when assigning tasks to your rebels, Commander.ĪDVENT won’t be sleeping while this is all going on, Commander. Rebels can die during retaliations and other missions, and even some can be Faceless in disguise.
You’ll also be able to deploy a single adviser – a scientist, engineer or soldier – to each region to provide bonuses to a particular task, and may improve a region’s defenses by capturing ADVENT MECs and repurposing them through the advanced Specialist perk, “Full Override.” Each region has a certain number of rebels who may be assigned to one of three different tasks: scrounging for supplies, recruiting new rebels and soldiers, or gathering intelligence to generate new missions.
Players are now tasked with managing the Resistance within each region they have contacted. This mod completely overhauls the Geoscape and how you engage in XCOM’s operations throughout the globe.
Long War 2, the upcoming XCOM 2 mod for PC from Pavonis Interactive, includes some dramatic changes to the strategic gameplay side of the game.
