No. Still only one action per character unless specific ability says otherwise because no time units.
Chance to hit probably still set in stone like the last game.
Heard nothing about having multiple bases let alone defending them.

On short it's no UFO defense.

Classes seem a lot more diverse, they're showing off a million special abilities, even the aliens have way more tricks. It seems like there's going to be a lot more strategy to the combat as a result.

>>321660037
I'm torn on Long War. On one hand it's a great mod that adds a ton of interesting content to the game, and makes a bunch of quality of life changes that are well worth it. However, it goes overboard with most of what it does, and it's too much at times. Often the fights will end up boiling down to you set up in a corner of the map killing constant aliens that just pour into your guns, which can be fun for a bit, but not every damn fight.

It's worth checking out, but personally I didn't keep it for too long.

Long War makes it more playable, not necessarily "fun".

When you play Vanilla, you know what perks in your skill trees to get and what to give people to max their damage.

How many people honestly get a Sniper without Squadsight? Not many.

In Long War it fixes this by having every skill tree point worth it, a Sniper starts with Squadsight, or can be a Scout (but no sniper rifle).

Also, there are more guns. Mobility is far more hindered in Long War, and guns have different weights and items do too. This makes it more difficult to take EVERYTHING with you. You have multiple types of grenades, and you get a number of items you can replace your nades with. Its not unusual for a character to have no nades on mission 5 or 6. Sometimes you want that motion sensor, or lazor sighting.

I remember it takes me around 5-10 minutes to set up my crew before even going into the mission. You have SMGs and assasult rifles and battle rifles, all which do differnet things for your damage/mobility.

It also balances out class abilities, like rockets by giving them natural spread.

Its very good for what it does, and it gives so much depth into the game. It really is one of the greatest mods out of there.

You're forgetting the part where the autist that made Long War is so dedicated to his "Being anally raped is fun" mindset that he ruined the balance of the game by making jet repairs take literal weeks, which means if you so much as get scratched when downing a UFO, you've flat-out lost the game. Plus his idea of increasing difficulty is making the ayys disgustingly huge damage sponges while XCOM remains a bunch of fragile stickmen in comparison, which is the fucking opposite of the game he's trying to emulate where the humans AND aliens were fragile and could die to any stray shot.

Stop fellating this mod, you have to edit a bunch of it on your own to an obscene degree before it becomes playable.

The AI appears to be braindead in all footage released so far. Enemies go on overwatch when they've already flanked your soldiers and should simply shoot them. Or run away to get better cover even though they could have just one shot your rookie.

This is deeply worrying.

YOU WILL LOOK THEM IN THE FACE AND LAUGH

Dunno, guess it depends on the mod.

Posting video game characters is OK, when they're sexualized (showing panties, cleavage or whatever) then it's considered furry. I don't post furry, I dislike it due to the Great Furry War of 2005. Which is the reason why the rule exists.

Mods don't follow the same rules as each other, life goes on.
