Description
A pack of compatible War of the Chosen gameplay mods for players who haven't played XCOM 2/WotC before, or are returning to the game after a long hiatus! Check out the master collection with the practically-mandatory XCOM WotC Community Highlander mod and links to other types of mods for new players as well here:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2099299329

Mostly a subset of Shingen's Ultimate Gameplay Mods but tailored for new/long-lapsed players:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2045565544

This collection focuses on general improvements to the gameplay of WotC while avoiding mods that do the following:
  • Dramatically increase or decrease the difficulty (eg. A Better Advent which is so difficult it suggests you play one difficult level lower than you're used to)
  • Add particularly difficult new enemies (eg. Children of the King)
  • Dramatically change the strategy layer economy (ex. the Black Market Trades Intel mod)
  • Allow you to customize things you aren't even familiar with yet if you haven't played the campaign (eg. DLC2 Abilities Remastered)
  • Introduce highly complex new items to a game that's already overwhelming for new and long-lapsed players

Mods that fix bugs or change weird rules in the vanilla game that don't make sense

Mods that make tactical-layer mechanics/characters more interesting or balanced

Mods that add interesting new strategy-layer mechanics

Mods that add interesting new items or tweak existing ones

Mods that tweak or add mission types

Mods that add maps

Mods that tweak or add enemies
