A Better Rookie for WOTC
Commander we know you have been away and before you start thinking that we spent all of our time scavenging wind turbines to build our flying cave base we wanted you to know that we have been dabbling a bit with bioengineering.
Our rookies come from the solid stock of our orginal XCOM gene-modified and psi-trained soldiers and then trained up and made ready for the day you returned to once again wage war against alien forces.
This mod, created in the same vein as "A Better Start" starts your rookies out with more mobility, HP, offense (aim), defense, and WILL (they have the WILL of Gods… no more PVT. G. PILE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ his pants because he got shot at after stepping off the Skyranger). It is also an EZ-button mod that modifies base values and works for all game difficulty levels. If you wanted the game to be harder you wouldn’t be using this mod. (Check out the links at the bottom for the LITE version if this is too OP)
This mod works at all gamelevel difficulties.
The changes made span 4 different ini files including the soldier skills, character stats, LW soldier skills, and xp data.
- Character Stats – All of your men, women, and sparks have greater health, mobility, offense, defense, WILL, crit, etc.
- Soldier Skills – cool-downs and charges have primarily been tweaked so that you can use abilities more often during an engagement.
- XP/Rank – the criteria for promotion has been reduced so that you can climb the ranks faster and unlock those awesome perks.
If there are aspects of this mod that you hate or things you wished were just a bit more buffed, then open the file(s) below in a text editor and scan through settings. My mods are nothing more than configuration file overrides with no coding. A word of caution about editing the downloaded files in your workshop directory. If I ever update this mod your changes will get replaced with a fresh copy of my files. I recommend copying the modified file to another folder that you can swap back in after an update.
This is assuming your running windows and steamapps are on your c: drive.
Other A Better’ MODSI have built a collection of mods under this same theme of wanting to start with a better advantage. There are multiple versions of the mods for LW2 and WOTC compatability and lesser OP versions for those who want some advantages but not overkill.
