Does this reduce amount of enemies per mission by chance? I fell outa love with the series because of how many new enemies and threats are involved than X1, yet they turn around and removed options for dealin with them (less weapons, no steady aim...)

Where are the lines in XcomMissions.ini there i must change for the pot size?

I installed this but, it still didnt help.
Probably a fault of my own.
Not of skill more like, four soilders against 10 advent soilder doesnt give me the best chances of winning.

can i came a suggestion? lower will

i noticed most enemies starting in the mid game have ridiculously high will(like around 70+ for grunts, over 90 for higher tier enemies at the same stage), making mind-affecting psi attacks lose even more usability, even with decent to good psi-offense stat

When you mean "Maximum of 5" you mean that the max enemies in a pod at 0% infiltration will be 5, and that the number decreases from 5 the higher your infiltration?

May I suggest a further rework? But I don't know how hard it'd be to implement. Well, even if later in the game I find rather stupid that a "Strenght 3" mission fields a sectopod and multiple muton elites. Previous X-Coms had smaller UFOs to train rookies while right now they're a dead weight even as grenades kamikazes.

@ADVENT Avenger

The reinforcements LW2 uses are contained in XComLW_Overhaul.ini

RM, I'm trying to edit Reinforcement Pod Sizes but I can't find any info in LW2 I believe it's all done under the hood. Can you also check that?

@Marvin Singer pod sizes are the amount of enemies in a group

I am sorry but i dont understand, pod sizes, i am confused

The sectoids Mind Spin results in a lot of Mind Control because the starting soldier's Will is abherantly poor. Hence your soldier often hit the 5 check hit cap or more, and this is a Mind Control. I've actually seen more Mind Control than disorients. You can fix this yourself by lowering the Sectoid PSI Offense stat.

Is it possible to make a mod that caps the number of enemy engaged? On rookie dificulty you can only face a max of 12 enemies, but on veteran its unlimited.

noob war?

sectoid mind control is very easy to counter. Use of Flashbangs is the easiest way by far. try it, you may find them quite easy now in LW2, since you start with them. Hope this helps.

Did you know flashbang grenades STOP all sectoid attacks? If he is disoriented he cant use or MAINTAIN mind control or zombies.

I think one alteration I'd appreciate is one to the enemy AI. Specifically, the Sectoids, and their constant use of mind control. It's kinda ridiculous that there's just an enemy who can turn your soldiers against you on a whim, and happens to use that move practically every mission. And said enemy is one of the first that the player encounters.

Meanwhile, back in Enemy Unknown, players wouldn't encounter an enemy with that ability until they tackled the base assault mission.

will you do one in this series that focuses on weapons?

Good job ! I'm waiting for a mod that skip the Alien cheat...I mean, free move they get when you activate a pod.

Thanks
