Amalgamation Classes WOTC

Have you ever been dissapointed that you end up taking the same perks over and over again as the other options just feels lackluster in comparison?, I certainly have.

A class pack of 252 classes with mostly randomized perk trees.
Heavily inspired by RPGO and its second wave options, but implemented without the magic.

Each class has 3 rows; 3 Specializations:
6 Primary specializations each with their unique primary weapon.
7 Secondary specializations with some duplicate secondaries. (Launcher and Gremlin)
6 Tertiary specializations with LW2 secondaries.

Each specialization has a predetermined squaddie and brigadier perk, with 6 perks in-between taken from a possible 9. Not every Grenadier will have the same skills offered to them!
Sharing perks between specializations was kept to a minimum, which results in a total of 209 distinct perks used.


As a side effect of creating an absurd number of classes, you will most likely never see 2 soldiers with identical specializations during a single campaign.
Some minor weapon tweaks were done using WSR to make them better fit their intended purpose. It's recommended to configure Community Promotion Screen to show all abilities, so you can plan your upgrade path beforehand.

• [WOTC] Rocket Launchers 2.0 - To provide an alternative for the LW2 gauntlet. Has integration with LW2 rocket perks and provides more BANG late in the campaign.
  
• Long War SMG Pack - WotC (unofficial) - To provide an alternative primary weapon. This mod has configuration to move them to their own weapon category and allow that category for all Amalgamation classes.
  
• Xylth's GTS (WotC) - To limit the number of classes you can choose from when training a rookie in GTS. Use unless you want to scroll through all 250+ classes.
  
• [WOTC] Extended Explosive Tweaks - To provide a more realistic explosive experience and has integration with LW2 perks. Includes 2 perks that fit well in their respective specializations. (Included for reference in default configuration.)

Amalgamation Plugin Collection

The soldiers class icon and description will change depending on which skills you pick for it, prioritizing from top down. This relies on highlander functionality some of the older UI enhancement mods do not have. This mod includes optional modified version of (WOTC) UI Mod for Defense/Mobility/Psi that displays the dynamic class info correctly. Must be manually enabled in this mods XComEngine.ini. Use [WOTC] Detailed Soldier Lists Redux over the original to have the class info display properly there.

This mod should be technically compatible with other class mods. Each class added by this mod has NumInForcedDeck=1 to allow them to be trained in the GTS. This also means that the "first round" of promotions where you normally get one of each class has all 252 Amalgamations included, and you wont ever go through them all in a regular campaign. To get other classes to appear more frequently you will need to increase their NumInForcedDeck value to whatever portion of the 252 classes added by this mod. This has the unfortunate byproduct of not being able to guarantee a specific class without changing the class selection logic, which I do not want to poke at due to probable incompatibilities. To force a specific class through commands, see the last point in known issues.

Adding new specializations based on other class mods should be doable through config.

Should be compatible with most things, but some mods may exhibit odd behaviour due to the sheer number of classes added. Mods such as WotC: Show GTS Class Counts will try to display every class, which will not fit on the screen.

Big thanks to Musashi for making RPGO and its highlander additions also utilised here.
The people who share their perk packs publicly. This is technically just a fancy reconfiguration using those perks.
The people who ported the LW2 stuff to WOTC.
The people of the modding discord.

There were 3 aspects to designing the specializations: Balance, Immersion and Uniqueness. The goal was to make each specialization not be too terribly balanced compared to the others, have skills that seem reasonable from an immersion stand point and for them to play somewhat differently.
Design Doc[docs.google.com]

To better fit some of the specializations some weapons were tweaked a bit with WSR:

• Cannon was given +2 mag size to allow using suppression more consistently.
  
• Bullpup was given +1 mag size to let the Marauder shoot twice twice.
  
• SMGs and Boltcasters were moved to their own weapon categories and allowed for all Amalgamamation classes.
  
• Faction hero guns were made available from start.

Not all abilities will be available with all loadouts i.e. no long range Bladestorm with a Holo-Targeter. (This did happen.)
All of the restrictions are in config, so they are tweakable if you feel something isn't available while it should be. Unfortunately there is no easy way to display these in the UI, but the intention was to keep the restrictions logical.

• Perk Interactions - Not all perks from all of the perk packs will work with each other in all possible combinations. There are too many combinations to feasibly test, but report any issues you find and I might cook something up if I feel its worth it.
  
• WSR and not Template Master - The tweaks I used WSR for were done before Template Master was a thing, and now I am too lazy to port them over.
  
• Changing the Spec configuration under /Primary/ /Secondary/ /Tertiary/ mid campaign is not advised as incorrect edits can break your classes in spectacular fashion. I would recommend backing up those folders in case I ever need to update the default configuration / your own changes are lost if steam decides to reset them. In case of issues [WOTC] Additional Soldier Console Commands and [WOTC] Amalgamation Console Helper can be used to train soldiers to a new class.
  
• Disable Any Class Wotc will crash to desktop when opening the MCM menu. The menu is too heavy to display all the possible class combinations at the same time.
