XCOM2 General Mod Ideas Thread

[lamaros]

Hi all,

Just a thread where people can share general ideas they've had for mods for the interest of others.

Please share your ideas here if you're happy with others using them or whatever!

I had an idea of a way of handling fatigue in the game the other day which is far beyond my ability at the moment (heopfully I'll get better quick enough), but which I'd love to someone explore if they care to.

Mission Fatigue Clock

My altered concept of this Long War feature.

There's a fatigue counter alongside the injured/fit counter. Every mission a unit goes on grants them a fatigue tick, and every mission they don't go on clears two ticks. if it is ever 3(?) or above the soldier is forced to sit out/treated as injured.

Ie:

Goes on Mission - Clock goes up one, to 'Tired(1)'

Goes on Mission - Clock goes up one, still 'Tired(2)'

Goes on Mission - Clock goes up one, to 'Exhausted'

Forced to Skip Mission - Clock drops two, to 'Tired(1)'

Goes on Mission - Clock goes up one, still 'Tired(2)'

Skips Mission (either optional or because injured) - Clock drops two, to normal.

Military Assassination - New Council Mission Type

 

Only allowed to take reduced troops (2-3ish).

Target is an enemy unit with extra health/armor that just has to be killed.

Evac is same as point you drop in.

Can buy intel boosts ala second last story mission - ideas being to remove timer, grant cover, grant extra unit, blah blah.

New blade type, either standalone for a new class or for use with both a new class and the ranger, etc...

 

I don't know EXACTLY what it should do statistically, but I think it would be cool to have a blade that has armor pierce/shred baseline, and a potential stun chance like the mid-grade sword. I could probably do the statistics and such myself, but I'd love a new appearance to go with it, making it look like a larger, heavier blade, or perhaps a 40K Space Marine style chain-sword/Axe.

 

If someone created the assets and such for it, I'd love to be able to call on those for a class I'm currently designing.
