[WotC] Expanded Callsigns and Nicknames

Description
This mod adds over 800 carefully curated new entries to the pools used to generate callsigns for your XCOM operatives when they reach the rank of Sergeant or above.

One of my favourite parts of XCOM has always been the procedural storytelling and this mod should expand upon that to greatly increase the diversity and uniqueness of your soldiers across multiple playthroughs.

Sources of inspiration include mythology and heroic fantasy, militaria past, present and future(?), Sci-Fi and Video Games, westerns and monster movies, the animal kingdom, and pop culture phrases and concepts. As XCOM is a multicultural organisation not all names have an english root but they should still be mostly recognisable.


*Usual mod disclaimer: Whilst this is a very simple mod, it is still a fan made mod, and not official content. Use at your own risk.

*Updated for War of the Chosen. Preliminary pass at diversifying the pools for Reapers, Skirmishers and Templars.

Not sure what the others are replying about, guessing it's because they're using the default malware 2K launcher and not the AML but this works fine for me in 2024 but I will update if any problems happen

OMG I need this SO MUCH after having two random soldiers (i.e., not from the Character Pool) with the same nickname ... for the THIRD time.

You will have problems with mods if you use the official launcher. I recommend you replace it with the alternative community-made launcher. It really is much better.

Yes, broken for me too, doesn't even show up on the mod list for some reason...

Are the nicknames sorted like the extended nicknames mod?

Already been done for LW2 Classes by - ISky's Big LW2 Name Mod.

Use that mod instead of this one.
