XCOM: Infinity-Strategic Play

For XCOM: Infinity only

Operation Leviathan shattered the Elders’ plans,
but the war is not over.ADVENT still controls vast forces and infrastructure.

XCOM saved the Earth.
Now it is time to rebuild it.

This mod does not continue the campaign after the ending by itself.
Use one of the following Free Play versions for your campaign:

• [WotC] XCOM: Infinity – Free Play
• [WotC] Long War: Infinity – Free Play

Do not use both versions at the same time.

The mod can load without Free Play, but Strategic Resource Packages cannot normally be acquired.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

XCOM: Infinity – Strategic Play expands repeatable post-campaign gameplay with new strategic choices.

Strategic Resource Packages recovered from repeatable Golden Path missions can be converted into personnel, supplies, faction soldiers, and tactical support instead of being sold on the Black Market.

All Strategic Materiel research projects are repeatable.
