With Anarchy's Children installed I like to think XCOM recruitment now consists of Bradford going to shady bars and back alleys and shouting "WHO WANTS A GUN".

My XCOM squads look like they were picked up right out of Seditionaries.

I counted this post three times just to make sure it wasn't actually a stealth haiku, and it could be 5/7/6. Not sure if you weren't trying, or just hosed up.

Most haikus are fun.
At least if done with effort.
And with good talent.

Unfortunately, I think I lack the last one, but still fun to do sometimes.

are we still stuck with only 4 squadmates, upgradeable to 6? It will never be like original XCOM until we can fill the Skyranger with a full platoon again :colbert:

You can use the LW Toolbox mod to seamlessly change the squad cap in game. I mentioned to jade there was a mod that gives EXP to soldiers that don't go on missions so that more people can die and the A-team's death won't be a game ruining scenario but he's very confident that things will turn out A-OK

Base game has 4, then upgradable to 5 and 6. I bet JadeStar will be rushing out the squad upgrades fast though.

Not only are squad upgrades good in the sense of more mens means easier fights, but yes, I'll be prioritizing squad upgrades simply to rotate more soldiers through for the LP.

I did the same thing in my unmodded campaign. More dudes fighting means easier fights and more dudes leveling up faster thus even easier fights.

Worst come to worst, you can always install the LW Toolbox, crank squad size up to max, and see if a squad of 10-12 rookies with base gear can take on a Very Difficult mission without all dying~

LW Toolbox is currently buggy and makes the game unplayable.

No, it works fine.

What needs to be fixed is soldier customization randomizing every time new armor is equipped.
