Stats for Characters

[phalanoch]

I noticed there is an issue with the difficulty settings regarding character stats (BalanceMods_Easy, BalanceMods_Normal, BalanceMods_Hard, BalanceMods_Classic)

 

When trying to modify classic mode, I discovered this:

 

There doesn't seem to be a way to modify the starter soldiers HP.

Soldiers bought after the start of the game have their HP modified by "BalanceMods_Easy=(eType=eChar_Soldier"

Aliens seem to be modified by "BalanceMods_Hard=(eType=eChar"

 

Anyone else can confirm this with me?

Did you modify the base stats of the actual character?

 

EDIT:

I just tested it. HP BalanceMods work fine on the starting soldiers. With starting soldiers, I mean the first 4 whom you start the campaign with.

I left the basic stats as default, my plan is to only modify classic mode, but it's proving to be quite a strange experience.

Keep in mind, where it says Classic in the code, you must read Impossible. Where it says Hard in the code, you must read Classic. Maybe that's where you are going wrong?

Modifying the HP, mobility, and sight directly seem to crash the game. Adding modifiers to it through ranks seem to not crash it, but I haven't tried to modify mobility beyond 2 points total, as I believe anything above 14 mobility might make the game buggy.

That's explains the the monsters, what about soldier HP? for me on classic it uses the easy setting as a modifier :o

I think that's a bug that was meant to get fixed by the first patch, but I'm not sure. I modified the balancemod stats to be the same for all four difficulties, as I play on classic all the time. So if you plan on playing on only one difficulty, then just modify each difficulty to be the same.

Honestly, I think 5 base health for rookies is fine for all difficulty levels. There's so many other ways to make the game harder, that decreasing health a point or two is just unnecessary.
