#XCOM 2 SAVE GAME EDITOR MORE ALLOYS MOD#

You can manipulate Advent to take pressure off regions you’re trying to liberate, or you can concentrate their forces and go for convoy intercepts and region liberations that destroy Advent forces and drops their global power.

However where you take missions matters in LW2, as it encourages Advent to send forces there and increases the number and types of enemies you encounter if you continuously fight in the same region. In LW2, exploration is basically non-existent and you respond to threats immediately. Although that’s indicative of a deeper flaw in the game I feel, I mean other than soldiers what can you really receive that’s worth your time and you can’t get any other way? More on this flaw later. I am however a big fan of exploring the world one site at a time, and the random event system is something I love in this and other games that use the same mechanic- even if the rewards, or penalties, were more often than not underwhelming or repetitive. Unfortunately other than keeping havens alive for trading and recruiting resources, I didn’t really feel a need to respond to invasions unless I wanted a resource payout. Starting on the geoscape layer, one thing that I really like about PP is that it forces you to spread soldiers out amongst different bases so you can respond to events all over the world.

Notice that I’m not saying PP made me want to play Firaxis’s Xcom, it specifically made me want to play the Long War 2 mod because I find unmodded Xcom 2 or WOTC to be so vanilla and basic that I’d rather just play LW2. Now this isn’t a diss thread or a complaint thread, but I think that this observation is worth a look for the sake of Phoenix Point’s future- which is a game I’d like to see succeed eventually. As the title says, after hours and hours of playing Phoenix Point in the end it just made me really want to play Xcom 2’s Long War 2 mod, and not more Phoenix Point.
