XCOM2 Slow down enemy intorduction - is this something that can be done via ini?

Probably my only major complaint about the game is that the pace feels far to rushed. The biggest thing that gets me about that is how quickly new enemies are introduced, I was on what might have been my fourth or fifth mission and I was already facing MEC's.

 

I was looking to see if you can slow down the general progression of the game, sort of like what Long War did for EU/EW, through ini edits.

I agree with you, the game is rushed rather then long and drawn out. I prefer the long war, the game that will last a year in-game time before you are able to win. In order to draw it out, you also need to increase the research time for a lot of the projects to, I think.
