The Long War mod adds more techs and increases research times. Some notable changes:

  • A vastly expanded research tree.
  • Longer research times.
  • Autopsies require multiple corpses.
  • Interrogation requires that the species in question has already been autopsied.
  • Some Autopsies may require other techs: for example, Alien Biocybernetics and Sectoid Autopsy are required to perform the Mechtoid autopsy.
  • South America no longer provides Autopsy/Interrogation bonuses, and Autopsy/Interrogations generally take longer (especially for late-game species).













Research Credits

Obtained via interrogation of a captive alien, these time-saving research tasks can be of great help, especially for late game techs. However, due to the arc thrower's reduced success rate and 1 use limit, many players will only pack Arc Throwers for the required Outsider capture and will therefore overlook these. That said, with a vastly expanded research tree and generally longer research times, the 25% time reduction is not to be dismissed.

Note that captive aliens of an already interrogated species can be requested by Council Members. Sectoids, Thin Men, and Floaters often give cash/engineers/scientists. Mutons and upwards (including autopsied heavy mechanized units) often give corporal rank soldiers + cash/engineers/scientists.
