Officer Training Scool

Do I need to build an Officer Training School in Longwar?

[red255]

um. Not sure what Longwar has to do with anything, Longwar might remove the free one from normal diff I guess. dun't remember. but if its not there and you want it, you need to build it.

but anyone with 20 IQ points would know that, so I assume I'm not understanding the question.

Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes, you very much need it in long term war with the alien. Why?

Officer Training School supply you research for:

1. Upgrade your squad size (Max: 6 soldier)
2. New soldier will get Squaddie rank (which is automaticly become Assault, Support, Sniper or Heavy)
3. Wounded soldier can cure more rapidly
4. Soldier can gain 25% more experience in kill
5. Soldier will gain more Will for each time they got promoted (this is important in the future battle to control alien mind or not to be controled by the alien)
6. Squad leader can share his/her Will for less experience soldier.


Hope its help and happy hunting the ALIEN :D

Well, if you want to make this Long War be a Short War, you'd probably skip it and get screwed up when facing too many aliens!

Your choice.

Whats the attitude for guys? Im just new to Longwar.

[Combat Wombat]

The simple answer is yes, it's pretty critical to success in Long War.

[Blinkybubs]

What do I need to research to get to that technology?

[happy]

no research, just get a soldier to caporal rank and it will unlock

[red255]

you need a soldier to the third rank CPL to get it, and you need I believe 35-40 ranks to buy the first upgrade among your troops making it moot before then.

Long war benifits of OTS is different from Vanilla. For those who dont know about the differences of the Long War mod, You need the OTS to unlock Squad size upgrades and to access officers to lead your team (Officers and their perks replaced medal system of EW)

Officer Training School is arguably one of the most important structures in ANY instance of Xcom (EU or EW, Long War or Vanilla). It always allows for more soldiers to go on each mission, dramatically increasing your chances of survival, the variety of each mission, and the level of innovation you can employ to overcome each alien threat. Long War, because it is, well... LONG, means you probably won't even be ABLE to get the Officer Training School for several months, but as soon as you an do so without completely delpeting your resources, I would HIGHLY recommend building it (sometime in month(s) 2, 3 or 4).

I just started replaying XCom. I replay a lot of my old games. This time, though, I'm pretty advanced in the game, used all but one of my Officer upgrades, but I need to move the Training Facility to add a Satellite Nexus... Wouldn't it be LOGICAL to enable the ability of creating a new facility, maybe even an IMPROVED one, before demolishing the original? Do you destroy your satellite uplink before building a new one? Do you destroy the Interceptor before creating a Firestorm? Moving facilities into better locations is as much strategy as figuring out what to research and develop.
