Beskrivelse
Most missions scale in difficulty based on ongoing in-game month. With longer campaigns you always end up in a spot where every mission you get is rated Very Difficult and I find that to be boring.

It also makes the game quite unforgiving as there is very little room to level up new soldiers later in the game if you happen to lose a couple of good ones.

Alert Level
The game has 2 separate scaling systems. Force Level is the alien tech level that goes up over time and allows more advanced enemies to spawn. Alert Level is a mission specific number used to select how many and how big pods the mission should have.

Alert level is composed of many separate parts, but in general it is relayed to the player via the Missions difficulty rating. Special and story missions have it set to a static value, but the regular repeatable mission types simply have it increase over time.
e.g.
Month
Rookie
Veteran
March (1)
Easy

April (2)
Moderate

May (3)

Commander uses Veteran difficulties and Legend uses Rookie ones, but as the campaign takes longer you get a lot more Very Difficults.

What this mod does is changes the regular missions to have variance in their difficulty, where earlier missions can rarely end up harder and later missions easier. This mod does not change which enemies are able to spawn; only the number, size and locations of enemy pods are affected.
By default:
Month

Moderate

The chances and affected mission types are configurable in XComGame.ini.

This mod utilizes a specific quirk of the vanilla mission spawning system so it will most likely not work with mods that alter that. Covert Infiltration has a completely custom mission spawning system and this mod will only affect retaliation missions there.

Use Activity Difficulty Variety CI for Covert Infiltration's Assault and Infiltration missions.

Im looking for mods wich makes the game harder because I am using RPGO
So I have 2 question :

1 : Is it compatible with LWOTC ? If yes, does it play well together ?
2 : Basically to confirm : Is this mod really making the game harder?

what a vital mod

anything works. I put 10 for convenience
Astaroth 11. dec. 2024 kl. 17:40 
Do the weights on each month have to add up to 10 or can I use different numbers when editing the config?

e.g. (Diff1 = 9, Diff2 = 8, Diff3 = 2, Diff4 = 1) would mean 10% for hard and 5% for very hard

Appreciate the info. Thanks for your help.

there are no guerrilla ops in CI, those all turn into infiltration or assault missions / chains

Hi again @h4ilstOrm, I don't suppose you would know if there is any point affecting guerrilla ops if using Covert Infiltration Mod?

I have this mod and your Covert Infiltration version to give better variation in mission difficulties already, so I'm thinking the changes in EU Style Strategy Pacing affecting mission difficulty are redundant. I know those two are not your mods, and you may not have the answers, but I thought I would ask just in case you have some insight.

Regardless, thanks for your help and the information so far.

This mod doesn't affect guerrilla ops, as it says in config.

Those work differently and get assigned various difficulties without mods already. EU style pacing changes the vanilla values for that.

Hi @h4ilstOrm, could you tell me, does this and your Covert Infiltration variant do the same as part of this mod?

These are two lines that I'm referencing from that mod that may be doing the same as yours, but in a different way.
