As a long time LW player, I wanted to create a mod that fundamentally changes the way you conduct your campaign, while also improving upon its gameplay in several ways.It's balanced around using the Training Roulette SW option along with the included Roulette Plus mod. I also recommend turning on Red Fog and Aiming Angles.Here's just a few of its many changes.No longer will you have to fret over choosing to buy 2 SCOPES or your next Laboratory, or worrying if you can afford just one more Laser Rifle for your troops. After all, what kind of planetary defense organisation has to dig in its pocket just to buy a single firearm? Now, you are free to splurge on as many items as you like (provided you have enough Alloys). The real financial dilemnas come with which Facilities you want to build next, or how many Interceptors you feel you need, just as it would in real life.Several weaker abilities are improved, while a couple of powerful ones have been allocated to items. Gunners, for example, can spec into anti-robotic or Mayhem-suppression with just an equipment change. You also start with 3 item slots on each soldier, allowing more ways to customize troops to fit your playstyle. Previously underutilized items have been buffed or reworked. Some items give new tactical advantages, such Bioelectric Skin or Squadsight. All MEC ability trees have been revised, eliminating some lackluster perk choices and making the classes more distinct.Greater high cover bonus encourages flanking maneuvers, Flush usage or cover destruction rather than repeated low-percentage shots. Allows you to focus more on tactics and worry less about your soldiers getting killed in full coverThis leads to faster and more decisive battles, and also rewards good plays such as flanking and cover destruction. Grenades and rockets are also more powerful. Just as you would expect in reality, an HE Grenade can now reliably take out a Sectoid or Thin Man. Don't worry about this making things too easy, however. Activated aliens will now alert other pods within their sight, resulting in more frenetic and non-stop battles.Mutons are tankier, but are easier to hit. Muton Berserkers are much tougher than before, but are slower and lose their Bloodlust ability. Mechtoids and Sectopods hit a lot harder and are more resilient. Sectoid Commanders and Ethereals have much less HP, but are buffed in other areas. The default way of simply giving harder enemies more HP was both unimaginative and uninteresting.Weapon progression is no longer strictly linear. Ballistic, Gauss, and Plasma automatic weapons confer Suppression, so you might continue to use some Ballistic weapons even after researching Laser technology. This also allows for better tactical play in the early game and makes your rookies actually useful. MEC weapons are specialized according to tier. And much more.SHIVs have more ammo and DR, but have significantly lower defense. MECs also have lower defense but gain health and DR, making them feel like mechanical juggernauts that can shrug off hits from lesser enemies. Their weapons are also more powerful, truly setting them apart from your soldiers' firearms.Roulette Plus by azxeus Realistic Mission Intel by crypticc62
