Mod Pack + Rebalance + Tweaks

This assembly includes most of the mods from Nexus. Those that I haven't added can be added by anyone as they wish and configured as they like.

WARNING. This assembly SERIOUSLY modifies the tactical part of the game through weapon, armor, and skill requirement rebalance. Probably, not everything is balanced adequately, so keep this in mind.

This assembly works on game version 1.0.56617. Functionality on other versions is not guaranteed. Installation instructions are at the very bottom of this file.

Mods:

1. Armor/Weapon buff from the DLC LivingWeapon

2. Mod to collect ALL undestroyed items from the battlefield

3. Mod to remove the limit on soldiers sent on missions

4. Geoscape tweaks

5. Display of disabled buildings at the base

6. Tweaks to armor penetration mechanics

7. Complete removal of ambushes and empty locations

8. Berserker rage tweak

9. Mod to display detailed info about soldiers

10. Disabling intros and cutscenes that do not affect the plot

11. Mod to convert experience beyond level 7 into skill points

12. Mod for 3 mutations/augmentations instead of 2.

Rebalance settings (note, there are so many that I might forget something):

1. Rebalance of speed, flight range, and number of soldiers for aviation.

2. Ground vehicles — scarabs, aspids, mutogs, and armadillos — if tweaked, it was not by me, but by those who uploaded these files to Nexus. Not verified, except for the scarab — it now has more rockets. By default, consider all vehicles tweaked.

3. Skill usage animations — disabled.

4. All soldiers receive 7 (instead of 3) randomly chosen skills.

5. All soldiers have a cap for Will and Speed upgrades at 36.

6. All soldiers have a cap for Strength upgrades at 100.

7. All soldiers start with 50 SP and gain 50 SP per level (these might be default values, I don't remember)

8. Most skills that led to severe abuse have been changed.

8.1. The dash costs 0 AP and 4 Will, range — 0.25 of a full move. Movement for Will — yes, abuse — no.

8.2. Will requirements for some extremely useful skills, such as restoring 1 AP to all soldiers, death mark, and others, have been increased.

8.3. All healing-related skills have been slightly altered.

9. All medkits can now heal a disabled limb. Depends on the game's formulas and mechanics. The main thing is that there is a chance.

10. Armor has been radically revised.

10.1. The starting heavy armor of the Phoenix is now the second most armored in the game. The first is the heavy armor of Jericho. This was done for weapon balancing, which is detailed below.

10.2. Sniper armor now provides a greater accuracy boost at the cost of reduced armor.

10.3. Overall, most armors have lost serious downsides and have been rebalanced towards the stats they provide based on their affiliation.

10.4. An exception is the difference between Jericho and Synedrion sniper armor — the former received a greater accuracy bonus based on weapon balancing. Synedrion, in return, received much greater visibility due to a perception boost.

10.5. Priest armor gives more Will, but nothing else.

10.6. Anu armor mostly provides speed and/or Will.

10.7. Scout armor in full set grants 90% stealth. Now not only players can cheat stealthily. Until this feature is fixed in patches, it will remain as is.

11. Mass weapon rebalance.

11.1. Base weapons are untouched, except for the Hell gun — it is now quite pleasant to use.

11.2. All Synedrion weapons have better accuracy and low damage.

11.3. All Jericho weapons have better damage and low accuracy.

11.4. All Anu weapons have various buffs and nerfs.

11.5. All Phoenix weapons have similar buffs and nerfs, combining a middle ground between Synedrion and Jericho.

11.6. Melee weapons have increased damage, stun, or penetration.

11.7. Synedrion stun guns have quite high accuracy.

11.8. Overall, almost all weapons have been reworked. Often, any weapon had its damage slightly increased in each individual case.
