I think I had no deaths to Archons, nor Berserkers. The first Andromedon I saw helped wipe my team in a very unfortunate battle.

Grand Fromage posted:In my playthrough honestly I found Andromedons and Sectoids the least dangerous aliens. I don't think one of them ever got a shot off at me before I took them out. Chryssalids also weren't much trouble.  I had a few times in my commander/ironman runthrough where Chryssalids gave me problems. Sectoids were always chumps and I only ran into andros once or twice a playthrough without a trained psiguy. Archons are the goddamn worst.

Oops, I meant to say Sectopods though Sectoids weren't hard either. Every time I saw a Sectopod I just said holy poo poo kill the loving Sectopod and usually took it down the first turn.

The first time I saw a Gatekeeper leave its pokéball was when I Mind Controlled one in the final mission. The only time I had one take a turn against me was when I found out that unlike Dominate, Mind Control isn't permanent. Andromedons, Sectopods and Gatekeepers all start showing up when you should have enough gear and abilities to brute force at least one pod down in a single turn (Commander and below) or at least past the really hard parts (Legend); they're all not that tough.

SpookyLizard posted:I yeah there were more missions that used that intel spending thing. I'd like to see it so the player had more control over the strategic pace of the geoscape. Like instead of spamming you with random missions that constantly interrupt you, you can purchase missions using intel. So you can buy a 'engineer' mission for 70 intel or a 'supply' mission for 50 intel, or a facility lead for 120 intel.

For a "mod friendly game", this game is decidedly not mod friendly. Adding stuff, sure. You can add basic models/textures/newshit all day long without big issues. Changing or hooking into anything that already exists? You'd better pray they instanced the important parts to a config file or your only option is to override the classes and kiss compatibility with other mods goodbye. I've put together the start of a utility mod that fixes some broken add-on voice functionality (and broken vanilla soldier bark functionality...and adds functionality), but extending classes to alter a function overrides them. And that means nobody else's mod can touch the classes mine do or one of the two mods breaks. So if I bother to complete my utility mod, any and all future voicepacks crafted by anybody could cause your dudes to actually bark soundfiles when they throw a battlescanner/proximity mine/plasma grenade/use vanilla skills with broken pointers/bleed out; or you can use some other mod that touches the same classes. Frustrating. (Speaking of mods...your poo poo continues to look retardedly good, SynthOrange. Rock on.)

It'd be the work of mad gods, but having a tool that hooks into your mod choices and yells  CONFLICT DETECTED BETWEEN MODS X AND Y would be an extremely good tool.And making it sooner rather then later means less work but I'll be hosed if i know where to start.  At the very least, having some uniform standard & a spreadsheet to show what mod alters what might help.

Thyrork posted:It'd be the work of mad gods, but having a tool that hooks into your mod choices and yells I'm not 100% sure just because I haven't tried it yet, but wouldn't it be possible to avoid conflicts by using "extends" definitions for any ini edits one performs? Obviously if you are changing a base value then you're going to hit a conflict at one point or another, but extends should allow you to cleanly add additional entries without worrying about someone else's poo poo getting broken. I noticed that they use extends often in the already established classes, so that seems logical to me. On another note, I've finally begin figuring out what needs to be done to have vests function like armor mods so that vests are no longer hilariously useless in 99% of cases.

You know how MECs had animations for punching Mechtoids? I want an animation of a sword ranger dueling the Muton in a blade lock with his chainsaw bayonet. If counterattack kicks in, you lose the duel, if it doesn't you win.

Whether it's a lighter mission that works like a rumor, or like the covert OPs from XEW I think would be fun. I'd also like some ops that could be completed without ever leaving concealment.

There is no Commander's Choice mod BUT there is a way to use the console to make anyone any class, even the mod classes. You'll need to enable the console. MakeSoldierAClass "Tony Hawk" Grenadier/Specialist/Ranger/Sharpshooter/Trooper/Rifleman etc. The name has to be in quotations. I might have the command itself a bit off but the console auto-suggests all relevant commands. This automatically sets that soldier to whatever class as a squaddie, even if they are another class. If you use this on someone with some promotions it will reset him to squaddie though!

Giving everyone a low damage but guaranteed melee really loving helps in the early game since you won't have to constantly roll on dudes with 1-2 health.
