11/7/17 update: We do not expect to update Long War 2 for WotC. Thankfully he now writes for TheGamer, mostly as a way to distract himself from RimWorld. If you want to breathe new life into vanilla, this is the most important mod for you. Thankfully, Musashi fixed this for replayers with the Still Stop Wasting My Time Mod - updated for the War of the Chosen mod, hence the 'Still' - which speeds up all the various animations that slow down the flow of gameplay. When logged in, you can choose up to 12 games that will be displayed as favourites in this menu. Lots of turn-based games feature loads of weapons. Just unpack the zip over the top of the existing LongWarOfTheChosen and X2WOTCCommunityHighlander directories you installed. Patch that upgrades a dev build 21.x, 22.x or 23.x installation to dev build 23.1.
User Stenchfury, though, really kicks the customization up a notch with his modular helmets and armor.
