The time limit, very limited resources for the ship, the random UFO attacks, and he ONE WRONG MOVE in the research tree make this game very stressful.

yeah they went a little overboard with the factionwide maluses imo, especially on the hardest two difficulties

constantly felt like you were being heavily penalized just for existing

Also, with EU you can build up a team of all MECs and steamroll pretty much any enemy.

WOTC expansion gives you additional options for your campaign like doubling turn timers, more mission types (mostly without turn timers), "sitreps" that alter missions (ex: enemies are all permanently revealed on the mission, mission only has psychic enemies, squad size cut to 3 and enemy pod sizes reduced, etc), friendly factions with "hero" units you can hire, a neutral faction, new bosses, bugfixes, performance tweaks, etc. Really good expansion overall

Turn timers got a lot of hate in vanilla because everyone just overwatch camped the entire game in XCOM EU and it felt annoying that the game was forcing you to take risks

Right, they each had some weakness. But every time you were grinding your teeth.

imo Templars are the best unit of the 3 (especially late in the game), but Reaper seems better because they can get you over the initial "hump" of difficulty when you're trying to tackle facilities with shit armor and shit weapons. Skirmishers definitely feel a bit underwhelming

Base game is not that hard. The Long War 2 mod can get pretty nutty, with liberation missions where you have to fight against over 100 enemies and need to bring multiple full squads of high lvl perfectly armed troops.
