i'm not entirely sure of all the difference between long war and covert infiltration but i will never say no to more XCOM 2. you are the most entertaining commander
5:35 I've been watching some of DerAva's LWOTC campaign and I think it's in a place where you would enjoy playing it and it's pretty enjoyable to watch. Plus, the chosen are actually scary! I think that's a great question for the post-mortem producer roundtable!
Four new campaign ideas for Odd: 1. New Phoenix Point campaign- new DLCs came out since you played it (Blood and Titanium, Legacy of the Ancients, Corrupted Horizons, Chaos Engines). There is also a new mod called "Terror from the void" on Nexus. You can also ally this time with different faction. 2. Advent civil war- You can only use Advent classes from mods like Playable aliens, Allies Unknown faction, Project Exvent, Xeno Zoologist. You can have multiple Skirmishers and use multiple Skirmisher mods at the same time, so they feel different. 3. Star Wars or Mass Effect themed campaign. Instead of Proficiency Classes again, you have to use for example Chimera Classes. Jedi class in the Star Wars playthrough is a must. 4. Can you beat Xcom 2 as Progeny (evil faction from Xcom Chimera squad)? - You can only use Psi-like soldiers. Check steam workshop for multiple Psi classes (Biotic Class Redux, Psionic Class, Sorcerer, Necromancer, Templar Dragon Hero, Jammerware's Architect, Warden, Valkyrie, BurnOut, Stormrider, Chaplain Soldier, Reaper Cryptic Hero, Paladin). You can also have multiple Templars and use multiple Templar mods at once.
LOL, you sent Rapunzel to pick up trinkets with a yellow move inside corrosion, and she is at max corrosion. Gaaaah, lol. I can't be mad, I am just laughing. But wow, could have had someone give her a move, but oh well. She lived.
I don't know pretty much anything about long war, wouldn't terribly mind to find out about it, hahaha. Also, maybe a similar champaign to this one but with some interesting "challenges" to really turn things around could be nice. Like the last one done in the last horde mission, or approaching certain missions or certain aspects of the game in different (maybe "crazy") ways. Anyways, thank you always for the amazing content and keeping an open door for new things to come up!!! 😁
Any time you do an XCOM campaign, you know some of us will watch every episode religiously! Go ahead and do a longwatch, but throw some games in as well!
For soldire revival: How about a mod that does not restrict the amount of soldirs that can be revived, but you have to do a mission/covert action/etc chain to obtain a rare alien artefact or else to revive a soldire. This way you need to decide if the revival is realy worth the resource investment or not :)
I seem to remember from Enemy Within that there was an option to make your troops suffer from damage taken? Less accurate, less movement during the mission. Made the start of the game much harder. That would be a cool run if there is a mod that does that
I pretty much only play the long war mods these days when I play xcom so I’d definitely be interested in seeing u play it. In my opinion it is the best way to play Xcom. My current Long war 2 setup has over 250 mods so there is plenty of content for it.
So many mods haven't been updated in many years for LW. LW2 or LWotC have better updated stuff, but not a lot more. I know, I tried to find a stable build a year ago and it just wouldn't go past a certain point, wouldn't load saves.
What if there were a mod for getting back dead soldiers, where Advent was experimenting on them and trying to do weird science stuff with them. You'd have to go on a mission to retrieve them, just like the rescue captured soldier missions, but you'd have to trade another soldier to die in their place...
I think a cool mod would be the ability to resurrect a dead soldier as a mech. And you can only make mechs out of dead soldiers. Basically RoboCop vibes. Makes the mechs a little more interesting and gives fallen favorites a second chance.
Mr Odd. I love your work... But... STOP NOT USING ABILITIES BECAUSE OF THE COOL DOWN THEN NEVER USING THE ABILITY AT ALL. Thank you. Keep up the excellent work
--- WotC Season 9 Scoreboard #24 (through Ep. 135) --- Yet another category leader has become a casualty, with Blanka "Duchess" Meszaros being toppled from her long-held KPM title, and from this mortal coil, by means of a Legate with a gravity assist. She went down alongside Karter "Whisper" Stillbrow, who became the first soldier to go one-and-done since Ryan "Charm" Smith fell off a roof back in episode 2. These 22nd and 23rd casualties mark only the second case this season of multiple casualties on the same mission, both examples of which came at the hands of the same enemy on the same turn. Witnessing both of these most recent deaths brought Esmerelda "Camazotz" Reyes to 6 total casualties that she’s been present for, the most of any soldier, adding considerable psychological trauma to the physical trauma she’s endured over the campaign, where she now leads all soldiers again on both total damage taken (164) and most damage taken per mission (5.86). "Duchess"’ death has made way for Ellis "Grim" Morningstar to take over the lead for KPM at 4.941, beating out Lyusa "Snow Queen" Kuznetsov (4.938) only with the help of a third decimal place. Calibos "Mayuri" Kraken also reclaims his lead for Accuracy, though with John "Old Man" Smith only an eighth of a percent behind. Ines "Hija de la Oscuridad" Contreras continues her rampage in the Damage category, with her total of 2618 now raising her up to 6th place on the all-time list. She also benefited from Future Gift Farms "Cybernetic" Hitman clearly not having all of his considerable head in the game recently, as he tanked his EAS all the way down to -7.04 to take over the bottom spot. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MEfLH7i1aA_s64smLJQLgOz3yULjJem-HfnwObtMqME/edit?usp=sharing
That being said. Love the campaign. Love getting in here early to check it out. And i would love to one day play this campaign myself on a nice rig of my own. Lol.
Also...since i just heard you ask ill comment in it. No long war campaign imo. Just please give us another campaign after you take a break. I personally am fine with 3 episodes a week max to give you time to play other things.
Also....dang im writing a lot. Something has to be done about the snipers sight lines in this amalgamation mod or somthing is up cause its always the snipers thay dont get vision of soemthing they should imo
And honestly. This is war? Ukraina just got it's first solid prisiners of war from North-Korea.. Life is .. Demanding. I'm Finnish.. U know.. And some of us are Israeli..
I think a mod that allows soldier revival should be allowed, HOWEVER it would require a covert action to discover some sort of revival thing and it brings the soldier back at soldier rank of 2-3 below their original.
I'd watch any XCOM title in a series of any length. It would be ideal, though, if you had an unavoidable mission timer. While taking 20 turns screwing around might be efficient gameplay, it can get boring AF at times. As for the once per game rez, maybe replace the hypervital module. Make that actually useful as an excessively expensive infirmary upgrade.
1 second and I feel u.. Do not jinx it. Damn what a setback.. But u got it already.. And it is ok. U should c the "others" sacrificing their mains just 2 get the storyline move forward. Duchess was good.. But 2 lose ur nr1 psy guy.. That could be a game changer. It went 2 hell from that stupid bug.
i'm not entirely sure of all the difference between long war and covert infiltration but i will never say no to more XCOM 2. you are the most entertaining commander
You know a loss hurts when Odd is trying his hardest not to reference it 😭
That corporal.. Who cares.. Honestly.. But.. I wonder if this is true in real war? I bet it is.
"didn't even show us the damage, it was too much" this is the reason I love this channel lol.. way too funny
In case you're curious, it was 8.😁
@ thanks. That’s just too much damage lol

Love DerAva's videos! The strategy layer of LWOTC is just so exhausting, tho' !
Been streaming LWOTC v1.2, which was released last month...
I have two words for you...
DEW IT!!!!

A new phoenix point play threw would be awesome

I love these long campaigns and you make anything entertaining. So I’m in for anything, Commander!

Out of context quote…”That’s a lot of beef. I can work with that.”
Any time you do an XCOM campaign, you know some of us will watch every episode religiously! Go ahead and do a longwatch, but throw some games in as well!
If you plan on doing a Long War season. Please make it LW2 or LWOTC.
Or you can make a play through of Terra Invica by the LW2 creator.
For soldire revival: How about a mod that does not restrict the amount of soldirs that can be revived, but you have to do a mission/covert action/etc chain to obtain a rare alien artefact or else to revive a soldire. This way you need to decide if the revival is realy worth the resource investment or not :)
Now that's cool. Make it a mission
You had me there, Commander! I really thought we had another loss
I would love to see a playthrough of *both* Long Wars (Long War 1, based on Enemy Within, and Long War of the Chosen).
Yes to LWOTC!
0:06 and I already start loving this episode
I seem to remember from Enemy Within that there was an option to make your troops suffer from damage taken? Less accurate, less movement during the mission. Made the start of the game much harder.
That would be a cool run if there is a mod that does that
The Second Wave option "Red Haze," and it affected the aliens, too, iirc.
I pretty much only play the long war mods these days when I play xcom so I’d definitely be interested in seeing u play it. In my opinion it is the best way to play Xcom. My current Long war 2 setup has over 250 mods so there is plenty of content for it.
Well on my case love long races 200 episodes, try to not miss episode ❤
yes! Long war with mods to the max. Just hearing that makes me gitty
So many mods haven't been updated in many years for LW. LW2 or LWotC have better updated stuff, but not a lot more.
I know, I tried to find a stable build a year ago and it just wouldn't go past a certain point, wouldn't load saves.

30:15 No MVP poster?!
I mean...if you're going to twist our arm about it....then yeahhhhh, I suppose Long War is fine
I think a cool mod would be the ability to resurrect a dead soldier as a mech. And you can only make mechs out of dead soldiers. Basically RoboCop vibes. Makes the mechs a little more interesting and gives fallen favorites a second chance.
I loved this thumbnail! So epic!
Mr Odd.
I love your work...
But...
STOP NOT USING ABILITIES BECAUSE OF THE COOL DOWN THEN NEVER USING THE ABILITY AT ALL.
Thank you.
Keep up the excellent work
You should praise your soldiers with, "I'm gonna really miss you when you die."
Hey Chris let her go man. You helped me cut the heart strings with Sonja my "Dutches". It just wasn't ment to be dude thats all. 😃👍

3:49 Chriss has set the "tone" definitely on a mark of "No fucking way any more" :D (sry 2 sware but ..) :D
And honestly. This is war? Ukraina just got it's first solid prisiners of war from North-Korea.. Life is .. Demanding. I'm Finnish.. U know.. And some of us are Israeli..
I would love to see you play a Longwar playthrough.
I would watch a long war series... gotta get my daily xcom fix!
Totally on for long war
I think a mod that allows soldier revival should be allowed, HOWEVER it would require a covert action to discover some sort of revival thing and it brings the soldier back at soldier rank of 2-3 below their original.
Long War? Hell yeah.
@ChristopherOdd Longwar! Yes!
Long war would be fun!
Sheesh these Tired timers are harsh. I wish I could take 12 days off of work when I am tired.
Or have a faction card that guarantees bleedout when killed BUT it has to be a mid range range soldier or higher.
long war sounds good
Please do a LWOTC campaign!! I’d love to finally get a soldier!
I'd watch any XCOM title in a series of any length. It would be ideal, though, if you had an unavoidable mission timer. While taking 20 turns screwing around might be efficient gameplay, it can get boring AF at times.

Okay, the game is just playing a joke at this point. >:C
