Features
Tired of reimporting your character customization every campaign?
This mod lets you start a campaign with certain characters from your character pool.

It also lets you give those soldiers a higher rank and a certain class if you want, just make the appropriate changes via INI:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\683306035\Config\XComStartingSoldiers.ini

Default settings:
You start with 4 random squaddies.

Stopped working. I remember having to unsub and resub and it worked, or I moved some mods and changed the order? I have it correctly configured and have used it for a few years. Anyone know what else will kick start this working again?

For lw2 just add extra soldier name slots for the normal 8 starting lw2 rookies and make sure all the character soldier ranks are ste to 0

Thanks, I found it. Looks like it was made by someone else.

@BoogieMan:

There is an updated version for WotC on the workshop.

Can anyone tell me the "SoldierClass" entries for LW2 users? In other words, what do I type to get the LW2 version of the Sharpshooter, etc?
