GSajer Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 :blush: This mod is both brilliant and brutal. I'm no stranger to xcom. I've won at classic/ Ironman multiple times. But this is a whole new animal. Forget any of the conventional wisdom with this beast. I am thoroughly intimidated. I'm not giving up, but there are moments when I am uncertain this thing is winnable at all. I'm now using normal mode with some carefully selected advanced options. I'm barely hanging on and deteriorating. It's not boring, but I'd sure like some reassurance by someone that progress can be made into the middle game. (whew) If the concept of Long War was challenge they've accomplished that to the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wghost81 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Long War is the mod (The Mod!), but not every mod is Long War. :wink: What I mean, if you want to leave some LW related comment, please, use LW forum tree. Or at least state specifically that you're talking about Long War. :wink: Edited March 27, 2015 by wghost81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, what I'd like to convey is that anyone interested in this mod must be warned: This is not a nerf of the original. It will rip your lungs out. Take THAT to the bank.

wghost81 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 You can use regular forum view: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/forum/665-xcom-file-discussions/The thing is, there's not that many players here, as this forums is intended for technical discussions. So it's unlikely that new LW players will see this warning. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSajer Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) I've tried and tried with the best skills and experience I have which is considerable. Until I read that at least one person has won this thing at the most basic level, I'm done burning up precious life on it. Good luck.

GSajer Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 :geek: Post Script. I'm back at it again. I finally found a comment and strategy site that inspired me to try again, as brutal as it is. The complexity and imagination of this thing is just too compelling to let go of. I guess I'll just keep trying until I win a campaign or I have a stroke --whichever comes first.

GSajer Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 :ohmy: I will say this: If you think you're a bad-ass gamer, and you want a challenge, this it. One mistake, or the least bit of complacency, and this thing will rip your lungs out and bind your hands with your own entrails. This one, you will not sneer at.

GSajer Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Sure. This helped me somewhat, and I'm surviving, just barely. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.864206-XCOM-Long-War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
