Long War is basically a fan made expansion pack for XCOM EU/EW, and the XCOM head dev himself said that EU/EW was just a tutorial for how to play and win the Long War! Its recommended you play on NORMAL until you get used to all the changes Long War does to the game. Vanilla XCOM too easy for you! Not enough depth to it? Welcome to the Long War, a mod for XCOM:Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within that feels more like an expansion pack instead of a mod.ĭifficulty wise, the Long War is on par with Classic EU/EW difficulty on its NORMAL setting.
