How do you give rebels commands. I mean if i click on the button i get intel (like hte base game) but you suggest i can tell them to do something other than intel - how ?

If you click the broadcast tower icon, you'll see a list of your people in the haven. Just click the little arrows on the sides of the job to switch between them.
An even better place to do this is your commander's quarters, which were pretty useless in the vanilla game. There you'll find some instructions regarding Long War plus a place where you can handle all your havens. The latter is really handy as it gives you Advent strength in the region (they move around in reaction to your attacks and just generally grow stronger), how much the haven is earning, and stuff like that. You can change jobs around in there, too.

Where did you get that from? Because I had a nasty mission I was facing last week and I'm pretty sure I went from 100% to 200% with that intel buff. {And it was still nasty enough to kill off a soldier even with some savescumming.}
From Marbozirs let's play videos.
Are you playing on rookie ?
Maybe it's different there ?

I'm bouncing between rookie and vet. I was at rookie at the time, though, so that could be it.
P.S. I've been watching my panics and every one of them has hunkered down.

I started long war 2 on veteran and it seems ok for me for now.
Game is a lot of fun and actually much more interesting than standard Xcom 2.

Good to hear!
There's currently a bug making the DLC missions happen again even when you complete them. No biggy - just ignore them when they pop back up. (Or do Shen's Gift again for a free Spark.

I think I figured out how it seems to work, the infiltration boost, I mean.
For Veteran at least, it boosts the current rate by 75%, meaning it will multiply it by 1.75.
So 80% becomes 140%
For rookie it must be a 2x multiplier and I guess for higher difficulties it will be lower.

Just lost 3 of my top soldiers on the network tower mission in the first region. That's going to take a while to recover from...
On the plus side, my Shinobi killed at least 10 people singlehandedly on that mission which was fun.

Did the reinforcements always go to the same spot for you on the network tower mission, Pladio?
I do not think so, but my mistake was trying to rush to the objective as I knew reinforcements would be coming every few turns.
I would say no, because XCOM2 vanilla is fun on its own (with a few UI mods) and LW2 is much more difficult as a game.
In some ways I prefer vanilla xcom2 because I find the LW2 changes confusing. It isn't so much the changes; if the base came had been lw2 it would be just as confusing because it introduces a lot of mechanics without explanation.

So far, all 3 network tower attacks I've done in LW2 have resulted in the reinforcements showing up right about where my first shot was made. I'm pretty sure all 3 were at rookie level, though.
Yeah - though some of the stuff just isn't anywhere in the game. It's "just" a mod, after all, so it isn't always possible to give hints on everything that's going on. The UFOPedia is pretty up to date so you might want to alt-tab to it from time to time.
I went with normal mode on Veteran. Not playing Ironman mode, but I'm not reloading when people die.
It's really good. Graphics are amazing - I can see why people think it doesn't run well.
I was also pretty apprehensive about the "shooting through walls" all the negative steam reviews go on about but upon discovering the extent of the environmental destruction available that seems like something laughable to complain about. At one point, I got defeated by a long-legs mech that literally just walked through a building bringing down the walls and roof and all, blasted a hole in the wall taking out my 1hp remaining Spark. I decided to reload back at the geosphere and try that one with a better group than 2 rookies and 2 specialists.

Those are sectopods.
If you are finding the game too easy or the amount of enemies too similar after a while, o recommend "a better advent 2".
Note that it makes the game a while lot tougher !
