Description:

This is a new version of the original MEC Troopers for LWOTC and is a drop-in replacement

This version features a few changes.

• Cooked to reduce filesize.
• Fixed the bug that caused them to receive extra AP, so they have XCOM decks again.
• Redid the UI so you see classes and not abilities on the selection screen.
• Added arrays so strategy costs can be changed for each difficulty.
• Added new infrastructure for selecting classes, opening things up to additional modded mec classes.

The current class trees are based on illogical’s memory of the old 3 row trees Kiruka created, and are currently using her original XCOM decks. Let me know if there are blank spots, duplicates, etc.

Requirements:

• Long War of the Chosen normal or experimental is needed. You can adjust ability trees as usual if you want to use this outside of LWoTC, but all classes use some LWoTC native abilities you’ll need to substitute.
• Most perk packs/classes are there because of the abilities they contain.
• May 20 2024 update: Psionics Overhaul V3 is no longer required. The Mec Templar now gets its psi amp in the pistol slot in Long War of the Chosen Beta V32 or newer. I’ve also included config for Dedicated Pistol Slot 2.0 to add the slot, but you’ll need to add config for other LW/modded classes to work as expected with it.
