xcom Zuper Cool edition

Hi, welcome to X-com Zuper Cool Edition!

Although the mod's name may make you think otherwise, this is not a big deal. Zuper Cool aims to make the game more engaging and renew things for the experienced that wants to feel a sense of discovery again.

If you are already convinced and want to discover the changes by yourself, you may want to skip the "Overview" and "Modules" parts.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS /READ IT/

• The folder you'll download will contain the mods (ex: ZC_Cheap_life).
• Put those mods into Documents/OpenXcom/mods

Overview

Zuper Cool makes your soldiers more unique and important. You may only bring ten soldiers with your skyranger, and will have to juggle with your troop's varying stats.

The arsenal also gets a facelift. The heavy cannon and auto-cannon have both been redesigned; working as a sniper rifle, which is powerful and precise, but requires positioning and planning, and a minigun, powerful auto fire but costly and cumbersome. The PeaceKeeper revolver is the new rookie in your starting gear; light and somewhat versatile, it may save your favourite soldier with a quickdraw in times of urgent need. Finally, the Gauss-Henri rifle may be manufactured once "laser weapons" research is done; It is arguably better than the laser rifle in certain situations, but it will require some manufacture power.

With all of these little additions, you will be able to organize your tactics with the revisited inventory TU costs. In short: leg pockets are fast but the same side of your hand is best, shoulder pockets is good on hand's opposite side, belt is fast to take from and drop on the ground, but slow to put things on.

But at the geoscape, things change a bit as well. Selling manufactured items won't get you as much money anymore, but things are balanced with autopsies. Now, finishing the autopsy researches will unlock organ manufacture. So you can still sell alien bodies for quick cash, but using them to manufacture organs will give you a better income at the cost of time and engineers.

Modules

The mod is divided into several mods. That is to let you easily customize the mod's features you want to use, and make it easier to use the mod as template for your owns. Each mods from Zuper Cool is marked with a "ZC_" at the start of the file's name, so its easy tofind them and activate them.
