Klyith posted:I had a thought that I've been toying with, for a more difficult Impossible battlescape. The idea is to reduce the sight radius of soldiers by 1, and increase the sight & weapon range of aliens by 1. I have not even tried this in practice, so I don't know exactly how the some thing would work. IE, will alien pods activate when they see you and you still can't see them, or does activation rely on you exposing them from fog? But the general idea is to produce some situations where aliens can shoot you from out of sight, for that authentic

DrManiac posted:So I'm starting again to finish my classic playthrough. Is the DLC mission pack that came out worth it? Edit: I should also mention that dear leader ~*Jake Solomon*~ has mentioned they switched gears for the later DLC, after seeing the lukewarm reaction this one got. So if you're looking for the goods, the bad news is it's not here yet, but the good news is it's coming eventually Soup du Journey fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Feb 10, 2013 |

Darkrenown posted:I don't get this line of thought at all. XCOM using meld in no way whatsoever makes them the same as the aliens. The Ethereals apparently enslave entire races and go around invading planets to test new races for <whatever>. We've seen nothing to indicate XCOM wants to "enhance" humanity at large any more than they want to draft the entire planet into nanofibre vests, hand them a laser pistol and force them to invade some unsuspecting world for a lark. Basically, it doesn't really matter what XCOM wants, because once it's invented and applied, the tech is gonna get out anyway, and we're almost certain to abuse it somewhere along the line. That abuse, in turn, will slowly shift our understanding of what's possible or even acceptable. It's easy to imagine that something similar happened with the Ethereals or whoever back in the day.

I think I read somewhere that with the release of EW, they were trying to make it easier to mod game data (without going so far as releasing full mod tools). Has anything come of that? Would I be able to open up some .ini, or the .exe file, and change something like the rate at which new alien species appear, or is that still bundled up in one of the .upk's?

nnnotime posted:I'm trying to update my simple mod and so far I don't see anything easier about it. Firaxis moved a bunch of variables into the DefaultGameCore.ini file, but you still have to mod the EXE to get the game to use any INI file changes.

Speaking of Exalt and difficulty, have any mods come out to spice them up a bit? Larger pod sizes maybe? Anything at all? I've been waiting for the steam sale to pick EW up, but I haven't been keeping up with the thread lately.
