And interceptor fighter craft are less effective and more expensive. Everything in Long War takes longer and costs more to build than in 'vanilla', but small items like armor now take time to build, as opposed to being manufactured instantly. So far I’m gaining.īuilding workshops and laboratories to speed up research and construction is an ongoing project. I’ve lost a couple of satellites to flying saucer attacks, but I’ve been able to bring new ones on at a rate of about one every 20 in-game days. This makes launching satellites much more expensive and tedious, like everything in else the mod. In Long War, each satellite uplink grants only one satellite, with an additional satellite granted for 'adjacency' bonuses. I’ve had to sacrifice Africa (sorry), but all of North America and most of Europe and Asia are covered with satellites.

I am nowhere near halfway through the campaign. I’ve been playing on weekends for the past few weeks, when I can.

I’m roughly 50 hours into my Long War experience.
