Complete Build Order for XCOM 2: WotC. Like I said earlier, the 'best' build for your Avenger in War of the Chosen is one that aligns not only with your play style, but also with the game's mechanics. You may have noticed my omission of support structures such as Power Relays and Workshops or Laboratories. Long War 2 is a significant overhaul of XCOM 2 aimed at giving players the feel of running a worldwide guerrilla war against ADVENT and offering them a greater variety of strategic and tactical experiences. Missions of XCOM 2 are key tactical combat operations and gameplay elements. During missions, the player directs a variable-sized squad of soldiers in tense turn-based combat, engaging the alien and ADVENT ground forces and completing the objectives. In addition to generic and key missions, there is one non-optional mission that occurs when a certain Dark Event is active or some time after the.

Campaign Strategy
This section is for strategies to employ on the campaign map in order to grow your empire, protect yourself from attack, make strategically important gains and eventually conquer the world.
General Strategy
Articles in this section are about campaign strategy in general, the principles of warfare and diplomacy.
This is a rough guide to my Campaign doctrine (re-written from the RTW version of this article), detailing how I come up with a long-term strategy for any given scenario. The guide is intended to explain the basis to my version of successful strategic thought on the Campaign Map and both experienced players and newcomers to Total War games who have problems understanding how to think strategically can use this method of thinking to come up with unique strategies for unique situations and adapt the strategy they are planning to new situations that crop up. This guide should be applicable to any faction in any version of M2TW with or without Kingdoms (when it comes out), as it is a general guide to strategy rather than a detailed look at the specific strengths and weaknesses of a particular faction.
Warfare is unpleasant. Even though it is the core of M2:TW, yet we need not let the constant warfare turn us into mindless tyrants who slay even the stray cat who bars our way. We can remain as gentlemen who talks softly but carries a big stick. Through bows and arrows might the world turn but good words of diplomacy also do their part. Listen to the general George the Honest, a scholar of Chivalry
Well most of the players are crazy about having vassals in MTW2, so I have decided to write an article on vassalage. It also seems that no one else have written an article on that. I here by announce that I have chosen the topic of vassalage and have begun working on it.
If you're looking for an extra challenge with M2TW, this guide takes you through the equivalent of moving house at the start of the game- the migration campaign.
Whether you are following the voyage of the First Fleet, or have plans to colonise the New World, else known as the Americas, and reap the rewards of vast amounts of gold and other luxurious trade items, the voyage is wrought with danger.

Faction Overviews
Articles in this section are detailed overviews of the factions in the game, exploring the initial position on the map, the buildings and units available and the strategic options available.
England has an enviable starting position in that it can very easily have 7 secure & safe provinces very early in the game with a 'beachhead' province in Caen. Common sense alone dictates that eradicating the Scots is the key to the opening moves.
Islamic presence in Iberia has lasted over 3 centuries at the start of the Medieval II Total War time frame. But infighting and the resurging Catholic presence is starting to threaten the existence of all Muslims living in Europe. This guide features some step by step tactics on neutralising the early catholic threat and a comprehensive analysis of the various Moorish units and battle situations.
Russia is a faction separated in many ways from the rest of the world in Medieval II: Total War. In order to establish yourself as a great power in Europe, you are going to have to expand and consolidate rapidly and bring your unique and superior cavalry roster to bear on your foes. In this guide you will be taken through the details of making the most of your first few turns, and the general aims of your strategy as a Russian general.
Greetings Commander and welcome to the Land of the Scots. We have been expecting you for years but now that you have finally come we, The Scottish People, are ready to march the highroad to Victory! But before we commence our conquests, I must give you a briefing on our Lands, army and current situation, so that you are better prepared for the journey ahead.
You may think to yourself, how would I go about conquering the known world with a maximum of bloodshed and a minimum of diplomacy? Your answer: hordes of pillaging vikings!
Bonjour et bienvenue de commandant. We have waited many years for your arrival to the once great nation of France and now that you are here, we may finally unite!
Ciao e benvenuto generale! We are extremely glad for your presence General as we have been waiting for you for many years. However with you at the helm, we may now rise to glory!
Once More Unto the Breach, dear Friends, Once More!
Your presence has been foreseen for years but we are now very happy to see you in person. Your able generalship shall lead our rich nation to victory!

Step-by-step Guides
Articles in this section are build orders and move orders for the opening turns of the campaign in order to achieve a specific starting position.
This is the first in what I intend to be a series of opening moves guides for several factions in Medieval II: Total War. This first guide deals with the potential powerhouse of Milan, and details how you can best take advantage of nearby settlements to defend your realm without over-expanding yourself.
This is the second installment of my opening moves guides. This time I plot out the opening moves of what can certainly be a tricky Portugal campaign as you are threatened by the Moors, and seperated by fellow Catholics Spain. Learn how to capitalise on the prime real estate that is the Iberian Peninsula!
This Opening Moves guide deals with France, surrounded by potential enemies from the outset - you'll have to move fast to secure your borders and prepare for the potential for a war on all fronts. This guide deals with the quickest, most efficient method to secure your settlements and your Kingdom as a whole, leaving you in the best possible position for future expansion in any direction you want.

Agents and their Uses
Articles in this section are about how to get the best out of your agents to make life as easy as possible for your armies.
Religion- a pleasing distraction from the intense battles of M2TW, with enough depth and intricacy to have you wanting to explore it. To control it. While it won't actually make you control 45-odd territories and a certain city, it will certainly help- priests keep religious unrest in line, Cathedrals grant a growth bonus, crusades enable your armies to rampage through the old world at top speed, while the Pope stops any Catholics from attacking. A distraction it may be, but it's one that can be very useful in the right hands.
In my last article, I covered the workings of religion. Now we must leave the Cathedral and walk down the road to a building of lesser repute but of equal importance and usefulness- the Brothel, where our slippery friend the spy can be found. Let us brave the.. odd sounds and moaning and dive into the world of subterfuge, and meet our friend the Spy.
Last time around, I introduced the spy. Now leaving the shady building he lives in, we must go slightly more up-market - a nice inn perhaps. For here is another useful man to be used in our quest for domination - the assassin. Buy him a drink, and he shall be happy to discuss business over a pint. Watch your back, though - there are all sorts of shady types here..

Firaxis has a singular talent for making good DLC, but XCOM 2 suffered from a few notoriously bad ones. Upon release, its pre-order bonus and day one downloadable content were subject to heavy flak, but the team managed to pull it together with later DLCs being a lot more on par with what we'd expect.
XCOM 2 is one of the best turn-based strategy games around. You should check out the others.
However, one of the best DLCs to date - War of the Chosen - has caused more than a few kinks; XCOM 2 was pushed to its limit with new features; missions, enemies… even classes shoved into every hole, displacing the previously released expansions. At the time of writing at least, there has yet to be a decent effort to study and explain how all of XCOM 2’s DLC interacts together.
Without further ado, here’s our complete guide to XCOM 2 DLC with specific segments on how it fits in (or doesn’t) with War of the Chosen.
XCOM 2: Resistance Warrior Pack (Steam)
Originally a pre-order bonus, the Resistance Warrior Pack is a textbook example of an interesting concept ruined by a cynical execution. It's meant to be a throw-back to XCOM 1 that adds four 'resistance' armours based around the old Enemy Unknown design -- including a vest-covered sweater reminiscent of Central/Bradford’s outfit in XCOM 2 and the standard armour from the first game -- alongside an additional rookie recruit meant to represent a veteran soldier that fought in the first war, sporting a slightly battered XCOM 1 armour and a unique Guile-like flattop hair.
The idea has a lot of potential, giving players the choice to try to rebuild the organization that was steamrolled by the aliens 20 years past using the same outfits and bringing a veteran soldier to the fight, but it is very much an early-game only deal. The armour is not a customization option, but an item called the Resistance Kevlar Armor, which becomes obsolete the moment a better model is researched. To make matters worse, there are four pre-set versions of the armour that can be chosen by changing the torso customisation options, but things like legs, arms, and shoulders can’t be touched, giving players a lot less freedom to design their own troops.
That is compensated very slightly by four face paint options added to the game, so 'cosmetics' is pretty much what this DLC boils down to; even the additional rookie soldier is unremarkable in any sense besides his looks. This is a mostly cosmetic pack that will only really be useful in the very early-game DLC, so treat it as such.
Is it worth it?
Yes, if you like the military design of the first game’s armour and wants more options to attain that look.
XCOM 2: Anarchy’s Children (Steam)
No. Just no. Next DLC. [Marcello -ED]
.. Fine.
Anarchy’s Children is a cosmetic-only DLC including more than 100 different customisation items based around the theme of 'Anarchy'. These items range from clown face paints and piercings to mohawks and leather trousers, making your soldiers look like a band of *very* edgy goth/punk teenagers.
The problem with Anarchy’s Children is that it is a surprisingly thorough misconception by the developers of what XCOM players like about their game. A squad-based tactical strategy franchise where you build a military base full of military soldiers and run military operations as the military commander of a top secret military faction does not lend itself to the addition of 'anarchist' soldiers, and the huge majority of XCOM players love the game partly because of its military theme. Resistance be themed -- you can run a rebellion while looking professional, and I don’t want my operatives looking like actors in a goddamn Mad Max-parody porn movie -- and neither does 70% of players that reviewed the DLC on Steam.
To make matters worse, the sheer number of customisations virtually guarantees that new recruits will come sporting horrendous get-ups, forcing you to either change them one by one or accept that the Earth’s best hope of salvation is a bunch of idiots and clowns.
Is it worth it?
Seriously? [What he mean't to say was - if you want more cosmetic options, then sure-ED]
XCOM 2: Alien Hunters (Steam)
Alien Hunters was the first real content pack for XCOM 2, adding three new enemy bosses, three new suits of armour and four weapons, as well as a single mission where Bradford/Central is deployed to investigate these new enemies. This DLC made some waves upon launch, creating very extreme opinions on both sides of the player base due to its difficulty.
The meat of the pack comes in the form of the three new 'Alien Rulers', powerful variations of the basic Viper, Archon, and Berserker units. Each is a unique character that is gone forever once killed, but they can be a pain in the ass to get rid of thanks to their immense health.
A good portion of the player base finds the Rulers to be badly balanced, thanks to their propensity to appear early in the campaign and keep showing up for every single mission afterwards. While there can only be one boss per level, they can react to every action a player takes (including passive ones like reloading if you don’t own War of the Chosen, more on that below) and have a tendency to escape through a psionic rift when suffering too much damage, forcing you to face them again in another mission.
On the good side, their health usually freezes between appearances, meaning any damage inflicted to a ruler on a previous operation will be carried over to their next appearance, creating an interesting self-contained narrative where you slowly cripple a powerful boss. The DLC also adds four new weapons that can only be crafted once and are lost forever if abandoned on a mission, but their stats and special abilities such as the concealment-granting Shadowkeeper pistol or the Bolt Caster rifle can be effective in dealing with the new enemies.
Once defeated, each Alien Ruler can be autopsied, granting access to a unique suit of armour that also can only be crafted once. These are far more powerful than any armour available in the early game, making it a valuable reward for taking out the bosses, and some even contain the new Frozen status effect added by the DLC. Given their looks and how hard it is to obtain them, the new armours are also a bit divisive. Plus, they make your soldiers look like Power Rangers.
Is it worth it?
Yes, if you like the idea of overcoming a vastly powerful enemy; No, if you have difficulty keeping your soldiers alive. It can be a hard experience, but the game does give you the tools to eventually beat it, and War of the Chosen fixes some of the most glaring issues.
XCOM 2: Shen’s Last Gift (Steam)
Another throwback to XCOM: Enemy Within, this expansion adds a new huge (seriously enormous) mission to investigate Chief Engineering Officer Dr. Raymond Shen’s last project before he passed away. The mission allows you to take his daughter along, Chief Engineer Lily Shen, and rewards you with a new robot soldier class.
Before War of the Chosen, Shen’s Last Gift was the most well received XCOM 2 expansion. It includes a good, yet very lengthy mission, that ends up overstaying its welcome, given it easily takes one-three hours to complete.
Upon completion, you unlock the use of a SPARK robot, scratching that MEC-shaped itch left in XCOM 1 veterans’ lives. The robot levels up and can be customised with specialised weapons, tools, and armours, allowing them to play any role from defensive tanks to devastating close combat units.
Is it worth it?
Yes.
XCOM 2: War of the Chosen (Steam)
XCOM 2’s biggest expansion, like Enemy Within before it, improves upon virtually every good facet of the base game. It takes the vanilla XCOM 2 experience to new levels by stretching it to the breaking point filling in the gaps with exceptional new mechanics and toys.
The expansion is seriously too big to be summarised in a couple of paragraphs, so I suggest you read our review here. But just to give you a quick round-up, War of the Chosen includes three new squad classes, four new factions, multiple new mechanics, several enemy units, and a new special class of boss.
These bosses -- the eponymous Chosen -- are deadly uniquely generated enemies and the centerpoint of the DLC, appearing throughout the whole campaign like your very own personal nemesis. There are three of them (a lot of War of the Chosen’s features number three), each with its own personality and motivations and each with unique stats and abilities generated at the start of a campaign, creating unique narratives for every player.
The mechanics include things like squad bonds, that enhance the effectiveness of squad members that fight together and grants them bonuses and unique abilities, and the new Resistance Ring room, which allows you to contact three different rebel factions throughout the world and recruit them to your fight against ADVENT.
It is a fantastic and gigantic expansion to an already brilliant game, and regardless if you played XCOM 2 before or is just going to dip your toes on it for the first time, it is a definite must buy.
Is it worth it?
Yes.
XCOM 2 War of the Chosen: Tactical Legacy Pack (Steam)
A surprise free DLC for owners of War of the Chosen (Until December 3rd, 2018), the Tactical Legacy Pack is a mix of serious storytelling and fan service. It's worth noting that this is a DLC for WOTC, not the base game itself.
Focusing on the time between the fall of XCOM's headquarters and the rescue of the Commander in XCOM 2, the pack features four campaigns chronicling the rise of the resistance. Told through the eyes of XCOM's second-in-command John 'Central' Bradford and Dr. Raymond Shen's daughter Lily Shen, these Central Archive's missions are accessible as a standalone series of seven-missions-long challenges via the main menu's new Legacy Ops button.
Aside from bringing in new story elements through dialogue, the pack leans heavily on nostalgia, bringing back 28 different levels from XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM: Enemy Within -- like the gas station, the dam, and the chrysalid pier -- alongside the original game's weapons and armours. Those can be used as sidegrade options during the main campaign, but the downside to that is that you first need to play all four Central Archive's campaign to completion and achieve a bronze rating at the end, but the requirements are lax enough to allow the vast majority of players to reach that threshold quite easily.
The last important addition comes in the shape of soundtrack options changeable in the main menu, with the addition of the full XCOM: Enemy Unknown score and an OST inspired by 1993's X-COM: UFO Defense. The EU soundtrack is just brilliant as it always was, perfectly altering the feel of the game, while UFO Defense's is a remastered and highly respectful version that masterfully executes the original compositions note by note while raising the bar tenfold with the traditional XCOM gusto.
Is it worth it?
It is, as long as you don't expect it to perfectly fill in the blanks nor change the way the game is played. This is better seen as a nice bite-sized series of XCOM 2's campaigns, with a some added in story bonuses thrown in for fun.
Wait, how does War of the Chosen expansion affect the other DLCs?
War of the Chosen is a pretty big expansion, essentially changing the XCOM 2 experience from beginning to end. While cosmetic packs like the Resistance Warrior Pack and Anarchy’s Children are available from the start and unaffected by this DLC, Alien Hunters and Shen’s Last Gift change drastically. The Tactical Legacy Pack doesn't cause any weird interactions, but it's a DLC for WOTC and not the base game, so you need it in order to access the pack's content.
The first and most important change is the rebalance applied to Alien Rulers. Firaxis heard players’ complaints and fixed some of the most egregious issues with those bosses, such as enemy reactions and map-wide sight -- they are now unable to react to passive actions like reloading and hunker down, and no longer detect your whole squad across the map like some clairvoyant freak. For those who own War of the Chosen, the Alien Rulers now provide a much more fair and enjoyable experience. Amigaos 3.9 adf download.
The second yet equally important change is to the way the story DLCs are integrated to the expansion. War of the Chosen greatly increases the number of early story missions, putting the player through a tailored meat grinder. Both DLCs were previously unlocked through early-game story missions, causing some conflict with War of the Chosen and potentially prolonging the time a player would take before tackling the main campaign.
Complicating matters further, there’s the new stress mechanic added in War of the Chosen, which taxes soldiers mentally and physically the more missions they go on. To combat that, you must give them some much needed R&R time and not send them in a series of operations in a row -- which immediately becomes a problem during Shen’s Last Gift’s three-part behemoth. War of the Chosen virtually guarantees that your whole squad will come off Operation Lost Towers shaken and exhausted, essentially docking a whole squad off-duty after one mission.
In order to deal with that, War of the Chosen adds a new option when starting a campaign called Integrated Downloadable Content. It removes the Alien Hunters and Shen’s Last Gift missions from the game, adds the Spark class and all new weapons to the laboratories and Proving Grounds from the start, and spreads the Alien Rulers across Avatar Sites throughout the world.

That integration is not obligatory, however, and players can opt to play the DLCs alongside War of the Chosen if they so choose. This will tie equipment and classes unlocks to their respective missions, and Alien Rulers will only be unleashed after the Bradford mission instead of being first encountered in hidden Avatar locations. However, regardless of your choice, the changes brought by War of the Chosen will still be in play, meaning Alien Hunters are re-balanced (and Sparks more effective) regardless of DLC integration or not.
