Kiruka's Reaper Overhaul For LWOTC (OLD, UNSUPPORTED)

Description
This mod will no longer be supported or updated going forward, due to the LWOTC Workshop release. Click here to get the new version which includes all 3 faction soldiers.

I did a bit more to the Reaper's main tree than I did with the Templar. For those curious, you can view the main tree here.[docs.google.com]

In addition to a main tree and XCOM decks rework, this mod features one new ability exclusive to the Reaper which they can pick up at SGT: Bigger Is Better. This lets them equip a Rocket Launcher (from Iridar's Rocket Launchers 2.0 mod) in their secondary slot in addition to granting them the Fire In The Hole ability. This can vastly change the way they play compared to the base LWOTC build, opening up pod destruction and cover destruction options that they had access to with the Claymore, but without being able to stay in stealth when attacking (that is the Throwing Knives' niche).

Since the Reaper's specializations are the same, I'll use this space to talk about their XCOM row decks, which have actually changed a lot. New additions will be in bold.

Tier 1 now contains the following abilities: Paramedic, Take Down, Parkour, Scrounger, Target Focus, Deep Cover, Shadowstep, Bandolier, Ever Vigilant, Will To Survive, Steady Hands, Beatdown, Heist Artist, and Perfect Plan.

Tier 2 now contains the following abilities: Lingering Shadow, Needle, Remote Start, Tactical Sense, Steadfast, Battlespace, HEAT Ammo, Formidable, Holo Targeting, Riot Control, Lead The Target, Concentration, Cover Me, and Hidden Reserves.

Tier 3 now contains the following abilities: Surprise, Lightning Reflexes, Thousands To Go, Serial, Minelayer, Fastball, Overkill, Resilience (LWOTC), Survival Instinct, Executioner, Sting, Soul Harvest, Deadeye, and Untouchable.

Tier 4 now contains the following abilities: Implacable, Bullseye, Rupture, Fearsome, Bunker Buster, Anatomy and Heavy Hitter.

Mod Requirements

In addition to the requirements listed on the side, Long War of the Chosen is required. There's not really much point to this mod otherwise. Make sure you're running the latest version.

While not at all a hard requirement, I highly recommend Mod Jam if you're a LWOTC player. This adds compatibility and balance for Rocket Launchers 2.0, among other things, to Long War of the Chosen.

Known issues

If Long War of the Chosen's Reaper tree is not being overridden with this one, you may have to copy and paste the ranks from XComClassData.ini into LWOTC's, over the relevant Reaper lines there. This shouldn't be necessary, however.

Conflicts

There should be no conflicts to speak of.

If you think you should be credited, let me know and I'll do so ASAP.

@Dondreon It's a really inconsistent problem that doesn't affect everyone. The only correct answer I've been able to come up with is "don't think about it".

Doesn't seem like changing the mod load order in AML makes a difference (just checked on my end), so I'll just have to stick to manually editing the ini's for now.

Yup, I fixed it manually changing the inis, but I find it strange because before I could just activate it in AML and it would work out of the box before. Maybe has something to do with the loading order being changed when I have a new version of LWOTC in my mods folder.

@Dondreon: You're gonna need to read the description.

I seem to be loading the default reaper tree instead of this one despite being subscribed to this. I don't know why it's not overriding it, I'm on Dev Build 28.1 for LWOTC, could that be the reason?
