Description:

MORE SKILL EVENTS – WAR OF THE CHOSEN
——————————————————

Skill Events are fun! Ability Points are fun!

This mod adds 7 new Skill Events to the tactical game granting XCom a bonus cache of Ability Points over the course of a campaign. Invest heavily in your all-star soldiers or give a boost to a long forgotten bench rider that you begrudgingly have to bring along to a crucial mission!

MOD HIGHLIGHTS
——————————————————
Just like base game Skill Events, each new Skill Event has a percentage chance to award XCom with an Ability Point when the event occurs.

-Invader Killed (15%): Killing an Alien or an ADVENT enemy that is not one of the Chosen.
-Overwatch (20%): Successfully hitting an enemy with an Overwatch Shot.
-Hacking (66%): Attempting any kind of Hacking Action.
-Healing (33%): Healing, Stabilizing, or Reviving a soldier.
-Rescue a Civilian (66%): Saving an imperiled civilian from being slain by the aliens.
-Plant Bomb (100%): Planting an X4 Charge on an objective.
-Dodge (100%): Successfully dodge an enemy attack.

Up to 9 Ability Points can be earned per mission.

CUSTOMIZABLE
——————————————————
You can modify each Skill Event percentage chance, number of Ability Points awarded, and max Ability Points earned per battle by editing the following config file:

~Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent2685003043880113ConfigXComGameCore.ini

The base game Skill Event values are included in the config file for full control of every Skill Event in your campaign. By default, these values are inactive (commented out) so as not to conflict with other mods. If you don’t have any mods that change the base game Skill Events, you can make any and all values that you’d like to modify active by uncommenting them.

Additionally, 4 extensible arrays are available for including custom Hacking, Healing, and Overwatch Skills as well as excluding custom enemy units as "Invaders" in the XComAshMoreSkillEvents.ini file.

COMPATIBILITY
——————————————————
This mod adds its own unique templates to the game.

However, it increases the base game CONFIG value ‘MaxTacticalEventAbilityPointsPerBattle’ from 2 to 9. As such, it may override or be overridden by other mods that alter this value (not a big problem as you have full control over all config values in your environment).

NEW GAME
——————————————————
DISCLAIMER: You should start a new campaign before enabling a new mod. I have not encountered any issues when activating/deactivating this mod mid-campaign. But, as always, the risk is all yours if you decide to do so!
