Hello, correct me if I'm wrong, but every change you make to the file XComGame.exe forces you to restart with a new campaign in order to make the changes effective. If as I suspect it is true ... no way to get around this? Changing the template is something that I had already tried ... but in vain. Maybe I have something wrong in the syntax. 'll Check. One thing ... if I change the string: BalanceMods_Normal = (etype = eChar_Soldier, iDamage = 0, iCritHit = 0, IAIM = 0, iDefense = 0, iHP = 5, iMobility = 0, iWill = 0) Strangely, when I purchase other soldiers they only have 6 Hp. While those in the base at the beginning show the 11 Hp you were saying. Small side note ... if you increase the capacity of movement of the soldiers. The introduction mission can not be complete it. There are triggers associated on reaching a certain position at the end of the turn. To overcome the problem just put the increase at Level Up.
