If the author of the mod that lets you recruit non-advent alien units doesn't add bonds with those when they update for the expansion we will know their cowardice.

They've also mentioned a modifier called "Beta Strike" which significantly increases the HP of your units and the enemies so the game becomes less about alpha striking a pod before they can react. Relatedly, Jake has said they have increased the HP pool of late game enemies by a fair amount to compensate for the power spike at the late game with the new DLC stuff.

LW 2 1.5: Beta Strike has been enable on all Advent forces. Xcom units have had their HP halved to compensate.

I think it's in the gamedata.ini where you can edit down the costs of building Sparks and related stuff, it's a lot easier than loving with mission rewards.

marshmallow creep posted:What would I need to edit or what mod would I need to use to scale up supply awards? You could also try using a memory editor (or Cheatengine) to freeze/change your resource amounts. It takes a little trial and error tho. Still probably easier then altering the ini rewards tho.

getresources is a little wobbly, though. Doesn't always work. Or it messes with your end-of-month drop.

I think so but the game doesn't always make it clear why an enemy pod was activated, especially if there is a lot of geometry in the way. Next a game:  This is the LZ. See that square to the diagonal of the bus stop that my soldier can't move to? Guess why

The mods in the thread's OP are the right amount of QoL without being too cheaty. The Overwatch All makes Rulers way easier, and you'll probably die less from EU aim rolls - still, those are pretty minor advantages.

Hmm, with the Ruler changes in War of the Chosen, does that mean Rulers will no longer react to characters going on to overwatch? This sounds like a pretty good way to get in free hits.

Reports indicate that it's a separate exec, which probably will mean for modders maintaining two separate highlanders (so I guess I'm gonna have to figure that out). We'll probably see more clearly closer to release, but we aren't really the focus of the press work so who knows when we'll really know.

I am not clear on what the highlander is in this context. A mod that makes other mods work, basically? What kinds of mods require it?

marshmallow creep posted:I am not clear on what the highlander is in this context. A mod that makes other mods work, basically? What kinds of mods require it? Essentially with XCom 2 modding, there are two different categories of mods - stuff that only adds stuff to ancillary files (which you can generally have any number of as long as they don't try and mess with the same thing), and more intrusive mods that make changes to the core of the game (which is the only place you can change certain things). The latter is generally referred to as a "higlander" mod because there can be only one installed at a time

I think the Community Highlander mod also provides hooks so that mods can place nice and share the previously unsharable parts.

So when your dudes end a move on the evac square is there any way to have them not leave? I was doing a rescue mission and had one of the squad move to high cover on a square in the evac. The VIP was about ten squares up from that point still in the van. I couldn't overwatch him, only have him leave. No other acTions for him were available.
