Rolling back in to the Avenger after every Chosen stronghold
Best part is, 1/3 less constant shit-talking!
Is long war rebalanced or long war 1.1 better
Thinking about starting a new game but I’m not sure which of the long war versions I should play. Anyone have any advice

What are some of the best niche mods you have ever found?
Some of mine:
Idle Suppression LITE by Alex Nares.
Literally the BEST environment mod I have seen. It's like each unit on the map has suppression, but it's only visual. Your soldiers and the aliens will be firing at each other whenever they can, which makes the gunfights look more like actual battles and less like hide'n'seek. You can set up how many units can fire simultaneously, hence the "LITE" in the name (the original made EVERY UNIT ON THE MAP shoot and leave firing decals, which made everything reeeally slow and REALLY LOUD).
Silence the Witnesses by ReshiKillim.
A mod that allows killing civilians. Really helped me out, since those damn ADVENT civilians kept getting in my way when I was trying to sneak through a map's corner. It didn't break concealment, and sometimes it could give XCOM an Ability Point, which was a great deal.
Tactical Options by o_siyeza.
It's all the things that make your life easier in one mod. EVAC all, overwatch all, hunker down all, VIPs can carry, Gremlins can remotely pick up loot, and much more nice stuff. Less fluff, more sense.
I should also mention mods from creators like Knox and Udaya.
Knox made a lot of great proficiencies, which really fill the roster of already existing proficiency classes, making almost every soldier you'll have a unique class. If not for him, I would have never found out about proficiencies and moved on to something else, like Amalgamations or RPGO.
Udaya made a lot of small improvements to vanilla stuff, while also making a fair amount of new scripts. Missions, SITREPs, abilities... It's all there, fun-friendly and player-friendly. Highly recommend for boosting your strength and variety!
XCOM Miniatures Game - Resin or HIPS?
Just saw the announcement that the XCOM miniatures game figures will be available as HIPS hard plastic pieces.
From the announcement:
Due to the huge amount of support for the XCOM: The Miniatures Game project, we can confirm that we will also be producing the sets in HIPS hard plastic! You will be able to choose from resin production miniatures (made in the same factory as our Fallout and Mass Effect miniatures), or HIPS sets for the pre-order. Only HIPS sets will be available in retail.
Anyone know what the quality difference is between HIPS hard pastic and resin? Which is better? And how is it better? Also, possible that only some figures will be available in HIPS or resin... and should we try to make sure all our pieces are the same material / quality?
Should we add a tag for the miniatures game?
What happened to the Collaborators after the Liberation of Earth?
Like what happened to all the people that willingly collaborated with ADVENT, are we to assume they got the "French Treatment" after the Liberation or were they rehabilitated?
New to XCOM
Gonna play all the reboot games, starting with XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Never tried them before, what should I expect?
Starting out
Hey all. Had this game forever and whenever I get started I feel like I’m behind within the first month. Do you have a starting out recommendation for tech and buildings? Or I just suck at the game lol
Ironman
Will I enjoy these games if I play on Ironman mode? It seems like most players consider Ironman the default. Can I still finish the story playing this way?
The next games I’m planning to complete are Days Gone, The Last of Us Part I & II, and God of War
XCOM 2 - Nintendo 2 (Party) Screen Share Issue
It’s very disappointing that the WHOLE GAME cannot been Screen Shared via Nintendo Switch 2 Party. A friend of mine and myself, were trying to play together (of course everyone has his own progress) via Screen Shared XCOM 2. The Nintendo Party Screen (below), is showing this Error that “This screen cannot been shared”
This is soooo bad… fr!!!
A Switch 1 Game, running on Switch 2, is not able to run Screen Share via Nintendo Switch 2 Party, cause the Developer “2K” are restricting that. It’s such a shame!
We have as well as Switch Players, no Multiplayer features. Please do something! Release an Upgrade pack/ Switch 2 Version for us. We’re happy to pay!
Reload
I've been reloading for over an hour on one mission because Thin Men don't miss and when they don't miss they must crit.
XCOM 2 WOTC - Star Wars Mods Collection?
Hello I'm a bit new to modding XCOM 2 and I was hoping to get some answers like any Mod collection that you would recommend that changes the game into the galaxy of Star Wars?
I know ZCOM is coming but I won't be able to play that till it goes on sale probably. 🙇🏻
