I like this mod and it works well. However, highly recommend users change the configs. By default, it doesn't balance the stats very well - meaning that both HP and Aim will vary by a few points. The thing is 3 extra HP is a +75% increase, while 6 extra aim is ~10%. So, the net effect is just some guys getting movement and hp nerfed.

Will seemed to vary a lot, too. I am not sure how to explain that.

confirmed this does work on the steamdeck, with just the new mod launcher.

Mortal means able to die. Why did you ask?

what does Mortal mean?

Only the initial stat rolls. For an ongoing/per rank you want "Hidden Potential"

@Vlain
Happy to help, thanks for the hat tip.

I was unable to get this working until I found Dragon32's comment:

"That could be because that mod uses a X2AmbientNarrativeCriteria hook. ADVENT Avenger had this to say over in the "Evac All - WotC" Discussion:

If anyone has a problem with ["Evac All - WotC"] not kicking in, you are currently using one of your other mods that has a X2AmbientNarrativeCriteria hook. This hook breaks WOTC mods, and ["Evac All - WotC" shows it] the most. You need to stop using the legacy mods and find new versions. You can find out what mods you have that are broken in WOTC by searching inside "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500" for anything that contains X2AmbientNarrativeCriteria and ends with .UC."

I discovered a lot of Juravis' mods use X2AmbientNarrativeCriteria. Once I removed those mods this one ran just fine. Thank you Dragon32 for this information

Yeah, Dragon32 is right. There is a bridge mod to allow you to run RPGO and LWOTC together but I've heard there is some jankieness with it. I don't run either, so I'm not super familiar with them, but I know that at least the ability "Flechete" (melee attack with more damage done based on how far you ran) doesn't work at all. Both are major overhauls pulling in different directions, so I'm not surprised they butt heads.

@mfitz1970
That's RPGO. It's also possible to right-click a YT video and "copy video URL at current time"

oops for got the link my bad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zZBHwVrosM

Thanks Evilbob22 but here is the strange part the reason I went for the mod was because I saw it on youtube and it show'd a screen where you could actually purchase the points you even had a menu here is the link to what I saw maybe it's a different mod but if it doesn't work with LWOTC it might not matter anyway but it shows it about 7:15 mins into the video you can see what I mean

You don't assign points, it's done automatically. Base game has the 2nd wave option Not Created Equal, which randomizes soldier stats. But, it just assigns random numbers to each -- it's quite possible to get a soldier with most stats super high or super low. This mod makes it so every soldier is roughly even in total stats by randomly "buying" them, with each soldier getting the same number of points with which to "purchase" them.

As far as LWOTC goes, I'm not sure, but I don't think this mod works with it. I'm pretty sure LWOTC does something similar by itself.

Also on the menu for promotions, and customization the option to assign points doesn't appear is there a setting that needs to be made in the game or on the second wave screen I have the box checked

When does the point system take effect? I just restarted the game is it random? I'm playing with it LWOTC is it compatible?

This Work even on XCom 2 Collection Mobile

No, you are right, I did have that reversed. Still, I would think if you are already running PBNCE, you wouldn't want the non-human soldiers in the exclusions (so they'd also have randomized stats).

I think it's possible you might have that one reversed. This mod uses "TutorialCentral", "NestCentral", and "LostTowersShen" as the example excluded templates, which are found in XComGameData_CharacterStats.ini, next to X2CharacterTemplate. So something like [RM_GethSoldier X2CharacterTemplate] in that mod's version of the file could be excluded, if this mod didn't do that already, I just don't know if I should/need to do that for any of the others.

I haven't used allies unknown in a while, but I don't remember having any issues with PBNCE. I didn't change any configs to get them working together either, the only tweak I did was enabling psi offense in PBNCE. But anyway, the excluded templates works on soldier class templates (Ranger, Specialist, etc), not soldier type templates (Soldier, Reaper soldier, Spark, Viper soldier, etc.).

Does anyone know how this interacts with the allies unknown mods? I feel I should put all their templates in the excluded templates category, but it seems really unclear to me to figure out how this mod works.

@tatynogame
Are you using RPGO?
Dr. K. Mathias 10 May, 2022 @ 7:37pm
When I reroll a soldier with the RPGO commands, it doesn't roll new stats for them, but instead slaps them with the generic base stats.

When I promote a soldier, the Soldier Stats option is no longer available, also all soldiers are equal despite having selected the appropriate options.

Can someone explain to me how this works because it's not working the way I expected it to. I thought it would give me soldiers with different stats based on a pool of points that would be randomly distributed. Yet I just got 2 rookies and one is stricly inferior to the other, having stats that are either identical or lower than that his teammate. Is this supposed to work like that because I don't see the point of running this over NCE

Anyone know if this mod might conflict with Unlimited Recruits? For some reason UR isn't working for me and this is the only mod I could see affecting recruits as well. I know I could test the incompatibility myself, but it would be easier if someone already knew it didn't work

This should be removed for LWotC, right?

@Az-Back
It depends on the difficulty you are playing on, assuming normal difficulty, should be:

; Hitpoints: [default values result in HP values of 6 - 8 on Normal Difficulty with a reduced chance of rolling very high HP]
+CHANGE_STATS = (STAT = eStat_HP, RANGE = 1, SHIFT = 2, COST = 10, PLUSONE = false, CHANCE = 65)

Check my discussion board posting for more details.

Hello wanna fix hp starting to 6 and max 8 how can i change the ini for that ? Ty :)

One Steam tag should be sufficient!

War of the Chosen

NOT war of the chosen!
NOT WotC!

That doesn't surprise me that DSL Redux shows it. It seems like a Rusty thing to include. :)

DSL Redux will list the psi stat. :)
RJSS/YAF1 will list it after the main 'Psionics' research is done

My set of mods shows 0 for all rookies, regardless of their psi offense.

@LightenedDark I don't know, I suppose it depends on the mod. I don't think I have any that do show it for rookies, including the UI mod listed in the description, although there might be a setting in one of them to allow it that I missed. (Also, Detailed soldier lists redux might have it, I was pretty far along, past having lots of rookies, when I installed it.)

But yes, this mod can increase psi offense if you uncomment that line (and fix the typo) and maybe add a few to the total points.

@EvilBob22 oh so it can randomize Psi. With the UI mod for Psi, will it show this stat in addition to hacking? I like to know who which rookies I'll want to use for psi abilities.

I found a typo in the .ini
For the Psi Offense setting (disabled by default), it says "+CHANGE_STATSE = ..." but it should say "+CHANGE_STATS = ..."

for those who are trying to get a better understanding of how the mod works because you want to edit the config file / change the variance yourself etc...

See my discussion thread post. Hope it helps!

@ruler2k2k2
The Amalgamation mod probably modifies the XComGameData_CharacterStats.ini

If the base stats are changed then PBNCE will be affected since all PBNCE is doing is adding stats onto the base values.

So, I'm trying to figure out how this and Amalgamation Classes WOTC interact.
This issue I'm having is I have SGTs with over 80 aim and 15 or 16 mobility without any additional buffs from cover actions or PCSs.

how to configure XComPBNCE?
Yea...
I can't understand.

When I reroll a soldier with the RPGO commands, it doesn't roll new stats for them, but instead slaps them with the generic base stats.

Where this file located? Couse i only found XComPBNCE_Version. Way is "D:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Config\XComPBNCE_Version"

@Gamma
Not 100% sure what you're asking, but try editing XComPBNCE.ini

how to change characteristics?

Sounds silly to ask but ...When you are starting your runs.. are you going into the Advanced Options each time and turning ON the Not Created Equally setting ?

Do you have another mod that may override the settings from this, like HP for All ?

i have started mutliple gatecrashers and every time my guys starts with 5hp except the special unit who starts with 6hp

i don't know the other stats but since it's the fourth time i've tried and all the hp follow this pattern i know that i have a problem somewhere but i have no idea what it could be.

i have unsub and resubbed, and cleared my mod list and redid it already but it's still like that

Not here, and maybe not exactly what you want, but you can use the SetSelectedSoldiersStat command from this: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1370543410

Is there a way to set the stats and the quality of the genes manually?

99, as I do this exact thing :) Enable random single point of armour and random starting Psi :)

how many points would yall recommend having if I enable armor and psi rolls on legendary?

@Dekker (dragon warrior)
Have you enabled the mod? Also: https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/wiki/mod_troubleshooting

Please add new Steam tag "War of the Chosen" here.
