Country Bonuses (Long War)
Redirect page
Redirect to:
The following list describes the bonuses available for each of the 16 countries in LW Beta 15. Each country has one or more options for choosing it as your HQ location, as well as a lesser bonus awarded for providing satellite coverage. You may collect as many Satellite Coverage bonuses as you can provide coverage for, but you will only ever receive one HQ Location bonus.
Each continent also includes a country that allows an option to not take a unique bonus ("On Our Own"). This may be useful to players who wish to face a more challenging or purist game.
