I know you can just edit a line in the .ini file to remove the limit on the number of AI moves, but I think the "randomly do nothing" thing is coded directly into the game somewhere. You could also .ini edit the classic mods down to the normal level, that's more tedious than difficult.

The closest thing to that were various flavors of nnnotime's implassic mod, which would hack stuff up so classic felt like normal and impossible felt like classic. He moved on from the game a long time ago though, so those mods do not work with the current version of EW if I remember rightly.

If there's demand I'll crank out a copy of them tonight. https://www.dropbox.com/s/r59zs5hqmm23upn/DefaultGameCore.ini?dl=0 Here you go nerds. Implassic+Clormal dgc.ini Drop into your ~\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\XEW\XComGame\Config folder, and enable .ini loading, preferably through patcherGUI, which does all the hard work for you.

Wow. So have you guys seen this? http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/12/02/exlcom-excel-xcom/ I have to admit I haven't tried it out - I cheaped out and didn't get excel for this computer, but goddamn. That's impressive.

Dang. I guess the whole Vietnam adage of: "The only way to truly save a village is to destroy it." won't be too much of an option then, huh?  Not that I could bring myself to do that TBH. Didn't have no qualms about sacrificing XCOM: EU's generic looking civvies during terror missions, but blowing up those wonderfully quaint structures yea...I probably won't indulge in that Apocalypse demolition gif on these maps.

Actually, to be fair it sounds like the resulting opinion shifts among the locals are going to be remarkably similar between XCOM leveling a village to deny snaketits cover and US Army choppers preemptively strafing the motherfuck out of schools and farms in the 70s.

There's still an unrevealed fifth class and ADVENT has MECs (with the EW animations and everything) So... maybe? Even if we don't get them right away they exist in the game pretty fully fledged so moding should be able to get them pretty quickly.

So what is the mission that replaces the Terror Missions from EU/EW? Cause...technically XCOM are the It might actually be interesting if the objectives and rewards/penalties were variable based on the environment. In an alien controlled metropolis? Civilian casualties are not rewarded but acceptable if other goals are accomplished (they've bought into the alien/advent system after all). In a rural area or shanty town? Higher value placed on civilians' priorities (I.E. not killing them or blowing their poo poo up) to gain favor. ^^^^ edit: I could be misremembering but I think they said no MECs for XCOM. They'll reveal the fifth class in January I'm sure wuffles fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Dec 4, 2015 |

I think you set up resistence bases/outposts, so either traditional terror missions in those environs, or getting a kind of base defense mission where you help out the resistance.

Journalists of course heard that as "you'll be staying with ballistics and meat people forever" and printed as much in a couple of places, but, well, that's IGN for you. Of course, the absence of an actual no doesn't mean yes; no one knows for sure. Unless that changed more recently, I guess.

I hope the fifth class is some kind of Psy-trooper, I would much rather have a whole class devoted to psionics than mecs again.

I thought that there are these special ops where ADVENT tries to increase their capabilities to fight XCOM, and you can only stop one of them. Those probably are the new terror missions.

It would also make a lot of sense in terms of the resources involved, given the nature of the XCOM remnant and what they have available. Other than testing, the psi troopers in EU/EW only needed to think hard for a while to use and improve their abilities. MECs require maintenance, MELD, material, funding, tooling, surgery... ugh. What a nightmare. Just get your brain going to save money AND lives.

Actually if I'm making confessions I've never gotten to endgame long war, much less beaten it. The problem with making the air war a triviality is that it fucks up resource distribution and threat levels for the entire game. I'd recommend starting out with small buffs to your ship's health and accuracy, and maybe a small malus to enemy hit rates, but what I really recommend is playing with it and adjusting levels as you go through the game. You can adjust the values as you like whenever you like. Just remember to run the PatcherGUI's AirWarUninstall.txt (or whatever it's called) before reinstalling with updated values. I can't remember if I used REPLACEMENT_CODE tags for the upkutils pseudocode or not. If I did you should be able to just install the updated version over the old one without reinstalling, if I used BEFORE_CODE and AFTER_CODE tags then you will have to uninstall and then reinstall with altered settings.

Torrannor posted:I thought that there are these special ops where ADVENT tries to increase their capabilities to fight XCOM, and you can only stop one of them. Those probably are the new terror missions. That's really a closer parallel with abduction missions. I'm talkin about missions with civilians in them, which were only the terror missions (and some council missions with escorts). What I'm hoping for is more like: City: YOU terrorize the ADVENT, civilian casualties have relatively the same penalty as EU/EW (practically nothing) Rural: you STOP ADVENT from terrorizing the civilians, more akin to current terror missions in EU/EW, but stakes are higher for destroying property or killing civilians At least that would create some tactical depth. In EU/EW, there were never too many civilians in the blast radius of a rocket to warrant holding back on a dangerous alien target as long as you could save 1 person out of 20 to not fail the mission. It would be nice if there were at least some missions with civilians where that wasn't the case.
