Hang on. How many do you start with by default? I've heard conflicting answers like 6, 12, or even only 4.

For those using LWOTC, going to the LWOTC directory, then opening XCOMGameCore.ini inside that will let you edit your starting soldiers; as no mod that lets you add soldiers yet supports LWOTC.

@dragon32 Descobri, foi porque eu não coloquei o primeiro nome em alguns soldados, apenas o apelido deles, e o sistema não pegou esses soldados sem primeiro nome. Eu teorizei isso no mesmo dia, mas como eu fiquei mais de uma semana sem jogar eu não testei, mas ontem descobri ser isso mesmo. Obrigado pelo feedback rápido! Aproveitando, existe algum mod. ou código em um ini que eu possa fazer com que eu possa escolher com quem será a coesão de cada soldado? Por que no momento são oito esquadrões, e todos eles já têm seu parceiro e seu esquadrão definido, e muitas das vezes esse parceiro está com uns 0,1 de chance de coesão, existe algo que possa me ajudar?

@FalconSupremo
There is a character pool setting to use both random and pool characters, was that enabled?

I set it to start with 54 because I have six squads of nine soldiers each (I increased the amount of pods and soldiers in them a lot lol...), but as soon as I started a new campaign, 40 soldiers came from my pool, and 13 random , since I have exactly 54 soldiers in my pool, can someone tell me where my mistake is, I can say that there is no other mod that messes with this same function. And sorry my English is weak so I used google translator lol.

lwotc??or No

You do not need a mod to edit this. You need to go to DefaultGameCore and change the end of that line NUM_STARTING_SOLDIERS= to whatever you want, save and exit the ini file and bingo. One less mod to crowd the modlist for a very simple edit. There are many other things like that you can mod yourself in the DefaukltGameCore of GameData or any other config files. Just backup first ;P

where can i find the ini file to change starting soldiers from 40

changing the first line of the mod didn't fix the issue

I think it was. there is this line and I have a mod that adds two more soldiers.
NUM_STARTING_SOLDIERS=22

@unpersn4
It could be LWotC, idk

The first line, negative sign prefix, removes the vanilla entry. The second line adds the mod's new entry.

actually why does the XCOMGameCore file have these two lines in it?
-NUM_STARTING_SOLDIERS=12
+NUM_STARTING_SOLDIERS=60

also im pretty sure this mod loads last

could it be LWOTC?

@unpersn4
The vanilla value is 12 so some later loading mod you have is changing the value to 24

I dont think this works with LWOTC. I set it to give me 60 starting soldiers and it only gave me 24.

now working now.

Fatigue alone may not be harsh enough to merit 40, but a bunch of other masochistic mods might be (Such as having to fight sectopods right off the bat, fancy new alien forces and other tidbits that make not getting waxxed early on extremely punishing.)

@DustDevil:
Um. Change the 40
+NUM_STARTING_SOLDIERS=40

how can i tweak this down in ini files? Syntax please, thank you

@yes_commander
More Will Loss makes your soldiers get tired and shaken more often

I recently added this and it's great to have a larger starting roster! I do agree with some of the other comments about fatigue not being harsh enough to warrant 40 troops though, so I tweaked it down to 24. I use a starting squad size of 6, so that lets me choose three full teams plus alternates/coverts. I think it's a good amount, but doesn't devalue early game rookie POIs or reward soldiers. What I really need is a mod to make injuries and fatigue longer, then I'd definitely raise the starting count back to 40.

@Fonzosh:
Probably not needed as it's just a .ini change

Will this be uppdated with the release of the Tactical legacy pack?

Okay, that makes sense. Once I finish this campaign, i'm gonna turn things up a notch. Kick up the difficulty, add ABA, and then some A Better Rookie/Arsenal to balance things out.

@Thor of Florida I haven't played XCOM 2 in a little while, but I think the fatigue levels are different on all difficulties.

You know, I thought that with the integrated fatigue system, that I would be using other soldiers more often, but after a mission, they don't always get fatigued/tired and so I'm still left with most of my roster as rookies. Then again, I am playing on easy atm just to get my feet wet with all these new wotc mechanics. Do they get more tired at higher levels, or at least take longer to recover?

I loved this mod in vanilla with the old fatigue mod, but now it's almost unecessary to use with how often i can use the same soldiers. Again, it might be because of my lowered difficulty.

Dragon32,

You are on every major mod comment pages. You must be the modding guru! ;)

Anyways, I want a lot more soldiers, but I am a bit afraid there is a limit, and adding like 200 soldiers would break the game! ;)

Is there a way for this mod to start all those new soldiers as rookies, instead of randomly promoted soldiers? So I can use the "Use My Class" mod.

alright cool.

@tG-APasz 「ｱﾊﾟｿﾞ」 Just redid some code.

What changed?

Nice mod! Thanks!!

@Conefed:
Edit the value in this mod's XComGameCore.ini

whoops just saw this now, thanks!

Is the amount configurable? Could I do more/less than 40?

Thank you

@mustard tiger There's a mod that makes it cheaper to buy SPARKs

@:: ;-; : Go to Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1124214015\Config and edit XcomGameCore.

Slightly unrelated question, is there any way to add SPARK to starting roster?

How do I change the number of starting troops? I checked xcomgamecore.ini, but the num_starting_soldiers already is =20, yet there's 40 troops?

thankeeee

Thank you
