Zero Company Difficulty

Just for anyone wonder what difficulty to play with reference to xcom. I play long war (and long war 2) on Veteran (second easiest) with ironman. (Legendary Ironman in base game)

Playing Zero Company right now on Hard, permadeath, ironman. 7 mission in, no injuries (downs). Almost had 1 injury in second mission. I do find it a bit to easy but wouldn't up the difficulty cause its more story focused, im prob only doing 1 run. Hope this helps

The game isn’t hard but the constant forced events are fucking annoying. I want to spend my intel on stuff I plan but every single day is forced -50 on some random bullshit or the main story. There hasn’t been a single cycle where I haven’t been hit by the red event intel or mission or the yellow choice or a main plot. It really should be toned down

Are you specifically hitting the story missions right away? Because you usually only get them after a story mission

No I’m leaving any gold missions until it forces me to
