Hello Jedi Commanders!
To begin with, I mod my games a lot but I have never created any and I have great respect for all modders who give their time to allow us to appreciate our favorite games even more!

Since I discovered this mod few years ago, I can't play without it... With a few other mods combined, you can really make a great turn-based strategy game in the Star Wars universe!
Also big fan of Longwar 2, when the WOTC version came out, combining these two mods became my ultimate goal. A big thank, by the way, to the authors of this two mod for the work already accomplished. But not being able to wait any longer for a possible update, I decided to take a look... And I think I managed to make them work together!

Already, if we run the two mods together, all vanilla Advent units will be replaced by Empire units, but not the new ones added by LongWar. New units added by Advent to Galactic do not spawn.
So I modified the .ini a bit! ^^
I found the names of all the units, replaced those of LongWar by those of Advent to Galactic except for the drones (because they are cool) and for the Mutton Elite. This allows corpses to be looted for science and crafting. No idea how to modify that, again I've never done mods...
After about forty hours of testing and balancing, no Advent units spawn and all Empire units added by Advent To Galactic replace units added by LongWar. The Chosens are replaced but keep the skills added by LongWar, so it's great!
No problems so far, we'll see late game but I rather have the impression that it's there... Advent to Galactic Empire and LongWar 2 are united and damn it's good!!! Seriously, I've been having a blast for a week guys!!!

Again a big thanks to all the modders, for their talents, their time and the sense of sharing. You guys are awesome!

Well, now that every Jedi Commander is interested in smashing Imperial scum for a long long war, how did I do it?

First:

- Download this mod:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1782917748

This permanently prevents LongWar units from spawning.
Then, in the "Config" folder of the mod replace "XComDisableAliens.ini" by the one I provided (link at the bottom of the post)
I have an Advent M2 flamethrower unit (AdvPurifierM2) that spawns from time to time with empire flamethrowerM2s, that's the only weird thing I couldn't modify...so I disabled it. Knowing that there is always the flamthrower M1 and M3, it is not so serious for me. If you want to re-enable it, remove the "+DisableAlien=AdvPurifierM2" line.

Secondly:

Go to the "Config" folder of Long War 2 mod.
Backup the following files:
"XComEncounterLists.ini"
"XComEncounters.ini"
"XComGameData_CharacterStats.ini"
Then replace them with those I provided.
This will allow Advent to Galactic units to spawn instead of LongWar units.

And here is "Advent to Galactic" and "LongWar" together!

I hope this will cheer up some people, who, like me, love Xcom and Star Wars and have long been desperate to see these two mods compatible! Again it's possible that I missed some stuff, I'll keep the post updated if there are any changes.

In addition, there is the list of changes I made. On the left the units of Longwar replaced by those of Advent to Galactic on the right. For those who want to replace one unit with another, take the 3 original LongWar ".ini" files and replace inside each template name of the advent unit with the Empire unit.

Example: For the first line if you made
AdvsentryM1 replace with AdvtrooperM2
this will replace SentryM1 with StormtroopersM2
the in-game unit's name will remain Advent Sentry, but it will have "Advent to Galactic" stats and abilities. I don't know how to change the name.

And yes, you can change everything and face only Stormtroopers or Siths if you wish! ^^
But be careful, you won't be able to access certain research or craft items.
To modify even one unit, you will have to start from scratch with the three original "ini" from LongWar and replace all the template names in the list on the left with the names in the list on the right with your modifications included . To do everything at once on the three files use NotePad. The "replacement" option manages this very well and in less than 2 minutes it's over. I tried to balance the spawns but according to my own taste, so feel free to edit the ini as you wish. This can be done during the campaign, I had no problem doing it.

Here is the list of Advent to Galactic and LongWar 2 units made by the authors (to have a visual for your changes):

If you need a hand, I'll be hanging around here from time to time. I hope I was understandable, English is not my mother tongue ;)

Have a good campaign and may the force be with you!
