Recruit Multiple Heroes From All

Description
Actually gain your second (or more) faction hero from all factions.

Context: the vanilla check for the extra faction hero reward has the requirement that the faction that offers it must be the first faction you met. This means if you met the Reapers first, you could only get a second hero from them and not the Skirmishers or Templars.

This mod changes that so the influence requirement for a faction is all that is needed.

If you wish to have more than two heroes from each faction, courtesy of Cahos Rahne Veloza:

"You edit it under the gamedata.ini file from MyDocs\My Games]XCOM WotC\Gamedata\Config folder. Search for the max heroes per faction string."

The correct path is:
Documents\my games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Config there u open the file XComGameData with a txt editor and then u need to search for the MaxHeroesPerFaction.

Even this is a really nice mod u should at least write down the correct path with the correct search to shorten it doesnt help.

For fellow Linux users that want to increase the max amount of heroes per faction: the file you're looking to be editing is called "defaultgamedata.ini" and can be found in the directory (Fedora 41, Steam installed as a Flatpak): com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/XCOM 2/share/data/xcom2-warofthechosen/xcomgame/config

I'm afraid I've never used LWotC. Also check out this guide:

@Dragon32
tyvm! i think i understand now. But i guess i will just use another mod for this because i dont want to have to mess with the game files every single time i change my modpack. Because you answered that quickly i assume you know wether LWOTC allows more than one faction soldier too?
This time i read the comments to make sure i dont ask common knowledge and i found this exact question but no answer.
(I have wanted to try long war again anyway now that i bought the monster hunter dlc from the recent sale)

The path in the Description is very, very wrong. It's in your My Games folder, scroll down
dr.dehaka 25 Jul, 2024 @ 5:34am 
it is not creating a "XComGameData.ini" File. Only "Game", "Engine", "Editor" in the config folder...

Regarding Covert Infiltration, if you use CI you don't need this mod to get a second faction hero from all factions. If you want *more* than 2 per faction, you'll want More Factions Heroes Per Faction. Also, from the comments on MFHPF: "if running CI you don't need 'multiple heroes for all' to remove the 'first faction' restriction, as CI has this removed anyway."

Thanks, STRICE!

As stated above, to possibly gain more than two heroes per faction, you need to switch the number after "MaxHeroesPerFaction=" to the desired one in XComGameData.ini.
I found the file in User/Docs/My Games/XCOM2 War Of The Chosen/XComGame/Config.
It's line 2768 for me. What isn't mentioned here is whether you need to change it in the game directory or your main directory (e.g. (C:) and (F:), I'm assuming it's (C:)?

Does this work with covert Infiltration?
