Good Flow

Description
This mod is very helpful for ironman playthroughs.

All soldier stats have been slightly boosted which also applies to rookies and SPARKs,
  • +1 hp (+1 armor to SPARKs instead)
  • +5 defense
  • +20 dodge
  • +5 base aim
  • +5 base critical-hit-chance
  • +5 aim when flanking
These stat changes make flanking/cover-destruction more rewarding.

Soldier promotion rate slightly increased
  • -15% total kills needed to reach each promotion

Added four unique utility items (where only one of each can be built) in proving grounds,
  • Two ammos and two vests
  • Can be tweaked in the 'XComGoodFlow' config file
  • Makes "No squad size upgrades" play style very viable
  • Useful for squad wipe recovery or training new rookies

Known Issues
The soldier stats numbers displayed outside of tactical missions (eg Armory) will not include the stats that come from this mod. This is a very minor issue but everything works fine during missions.

Compatibility
  • There should be no conflicts with other mods
  • The stat bonuses will work on saved games that didn't use this mod before. The only minor issue is the update won't happen until the next tactical mission after the save is loaded. If the saved game was during a tactical mission then the stats will not be immediately changed

Credits
Basically any mod released on steam and unreal scripting files that come with the game that can be opened. I'm always slowly building on my knowledge and experience creating each released and abandoned mods.

In particular for this project,

I just completed a WOTC campaign with 104 mods including this one. I turned off all the settings except the XP boost, but that worked perfectly.

Yeah, I can crank up the difficulty to get all the other hard stuff but have my X-COM guys keep up a little bit. Feels more like a 9.5/10 difficulty rather than a 10/10. Smoother flow indeed.

I like it.

@inanity:
It's much more complicated than that. I was attempting to reduce the punishment and tension of this game without affecting difficulty but Firaxis designed things so most/all things are closely tied to difficulty.

For you to fully understand where I'm coming from it would probably take an entire day/week's worth of writing and reading essays to communicate multiple things in full detail but I don't have the patience to do that now or any time soon. I don't expect anyone to have the patience to sit through this either.

So, this is basically a mod that reduces the difficulty level? Easy isn't easy enough?

Does this work with WotC ?

Okay, i played one of my squads without any dodge mods from gear or armour and when checking them in tactical, they had the boost from this mod.

So i can confirm that the boost are applied to the troops in the field of battle, where it matters. :)

You could be right, my guys do seem more accurate, yet in the Armory screen there are no apparent changes (as none of my soldiers show the +20 Dodge).

So it is possible it is working in tactical missions, but just doesnt show on an existing LW2 game.

As for the kit, the light vest could probably do with a bit more health for LW2, as the basic Nano-Vest now has a health of 3.

Now i have got the Proving Grounds in LW2, your new kit items do show. I think it needs a new game for soldier changes.

I've just updated this mod with improvements. The stat boosts are much easier to modify in the custom config file.

With my current understanding the stat boosts should no longer conflict with any other mod. If anyone is willing to test this mod with LW2 I'm interested to know if the stat boosts work at least.

Having had this loaded with LW2, it doesnt seem to have changed any soldier stats. Then again, i did sub to it after i had started, so it may work for a completely new game, but not a mid-progress game it seems.
