This is my campaign roadmap and collection of tips and information gathered through the web as well as my previous two Long War of the Chosen campaigns (Commander difficulty). I hope they can be useful to you for your own campaign!
Long War can be tricky to get into because of how many mechanics it introduces and how unforgiving it can be. Compiling info in one place has helped me enormously.
These are my notes, but they are heavily based on Casey Wills’s fantastic guides. I tend to adopt a control-oriented approach and Casey’s tactics guides are perfect for players like me. https://xcom.substack.com/ (https://www.reddit.com/user/CaseyWills/)
I link to his posts all over the place here. In many ways, this guide is a collection of my notes about putting his strategy into practice.
I primarily wrote this for myself as I tend to only play once or twice a year. I want to be able to jump back in and take advantage of everything I’ve learned.
This was written for LWotC 1.0. The 1.1 update in December 2023 changes a lot and many of my class tree picks are no longer accurate.

Besides the base mod, there are a number of quality of life (and one or two minor gameplay) mods that I cannot play without
