Last Hope

L A S T H O P E

Overview: --------------

This mod is an attempt to make XCom experience more realistic as seen by the author. It encompases Realistic Base Layout mod.

Heavy armors impede movement speed now. All weapons do more damage now. Laser weapons don't need reloading anymore. Plasma weapons do even more damage. Soldiers don't gain HP by leveling up anymore. Use of cover is now even more vital. Deadlier enemies.

All items now need time to build. All small items prices reduced drastically. Satellite coverage yields less income. Player should rely more on mission rewards and selling weapons and other items to Council members. Facility and interceptor costs are even higher. Etc, etc...

For all the details see List of Changes.

News: --------

Included mod for Hidden potental so if enable it won't ruin the concept with adding more HP to soldiers and altered version of BootCamp mod by projectmercy with slightly different flavor to it.

Also it includes an .int file with new better sounding mission names (no more Bleeding Mother and Driving Father missions) and nicknamest as well. Weapons descriptions adjusted to fit the mod changes. Adjusted movement rates of soldiers.

No more meld on abduction missions and longer timer (thanks wghost81!).

Corrected the mistake I made in altering BootCamp (switched assault and support probabilties the wrong way). Other various tweaks to the general concept.

Installation is now easier.

Edit: Version 1. 20 added new gender biased class selection mechanism instead of the old one which was only determined by stats.

Installation guide: -------------------------

1. Place 2 folders from Game folder (Feral-interactive and Steam) into your .local/share folder. You have to disable Phoning home to prevent game from restoring original files.

2. Requires UPKUtils : Decompress your xcomgame.upk and xcomstrategygame.upk files located in .local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/XCom-Enemy-Unknown/xew/xcomgame/cookedocconsole folder and delete corresponding uncompressed_size files. Apply txt files from Patches folders to your uncompressed game files.

3. Enjoy the game!

Rename files appropriately and place them into appropriate folders. The rest should be the same.
