Mod still works, go to the full version and read my comment on how to make it work.

Thank you for this mod! you saved LWOTC for me! i startet 3 times and wanted too give up but with this version they guys are better in fights and bring me to the early. ty

As of December 23 2021 this mod doesn't work with the Workshop release of LWOTC.

So is this compatible with the LWOTC that just became available on steam?

For those who are interested I have put out "A Better Start" for Chimera Squad.

If you have XCS then give this a try. I'll be coming out with a Lite version and then A Better Agent and A Better Arsenal all with Lite versions here soon.

Thanks for the feedback and compliment, AntonRollad6.

My recent update might have swung things too far. If you are not using the LITE versions of B.R. and B.A. then give those a try. If you are what you need to do is open the CharacterStats.ini file in the file path listed in the details and search for "Offense". For the most part LWOTC devs zeroed out the offense. In WOTC (non modded) I saw offense around 20-35 for most of the character templates In my recent update I ramped these up to 75-85 in LITE and 105 in the Full.

The one-shot kill... yeah that's what happens when you add just few more points of damage to the weapons. Even in the lite version where its only +2 points you can take out most common mobs with one shot.

Hey Scuba! Super awesome mods, I just started playing LWOTC (Well xcom in general). Anyways my first brief playthrough all of my soldiers had nearly a 100% to hit nearly all the time. And killed in one hit with Better Arsenal. Im not sure if that is due to my soldier placements or not. SO if it is due to B.R. + B.A. , what stats would I need to change in the config? Thanks again for all the amazing work!

I just pushed an update out that corrected the missing offense stat that was in my other versions. Let me know if AIM and To Hit still seam busted.

I am still getting borked Aim stats of 5, 10, etc, on Veteran. The mobility boost appears to work- My reaper had a MOB of 28 which feels like more than a lite boost? Thanks!

Thanks! Nice catch. I would have been looking over the AIM changes all night and not noticed that. I'll try and get an update out with the fix for others.

Ok, so after comparing your WOTC version with the LWOTC, I saw that the Offense stat on most statblocks is just 5 (considering you wanted to add +5 to the vanilla stat), meanwhile, your WOTC version has 75 Offense (70 vanilla + 5). You might wanna check that. Changed those numbers and now it runs as intended. Many thanks.

My bad, I meant Veteran

Tried playing in Classic LWoTC and AIM got maimed very hard. Tried it on Gatecrasher and soldiers had really fucked up chances to hit (0-25%), and after promotion, they had -1 to 20 AIM

I can attest that on Legendary the buffs ARE still there, but they are definitely not as great.

I'll go check them out. I must have missed that in the very quick play testing I did with the lite version. I have played the full version and saw AIM buffed quite a bit.
By chance are you running any other character class modding mods?

Oh and also, what diff level are you playing at. The lite version in legendary mode is still buffed just not that much.. it should not take away AIM though, so clearly something is wrong.

Same Problem as m.r.g.b.138. Soldiers aim stats are broken

I tried this on a new game, but all the starting rookies aim stats were between -1 and 24 at most. Could not hit anything with anything. Other stats were higher though. Removing it fixed the problem on restart.

Groovy. I like it! I've been updating my own version of LWotC and playing with my Character Pool, so I'll be testing your mods in a bit.

Thank you Sir. I have updated my comments to reflect this. I still need to overhaul all of my descriptions to show details about the new set of LWOTC A Better mods.

It's up to you, but I would just offer the main page for the release notes, that way you don't have to update every time they come up with a new version:
https://github.com/long-war-2/lwotc/tree/experimental/ReleaseNotes
Also, with the new dev builds you don't have to compile anything, just unzip and either place or replace files. Thanks for the friend request!

You are correct but the only version that is bundled for install is the BETA 2 version. v15 requires one to compile project. My link is to the wiki page for how folks will install LWOTC (with only the LWOTC Beta 2 download) which for some who depend on Steam workshop to install all mods is super critical.
That said, I may be missing an obvious link on GitHub or elsewhere that has the latest built version for install. If you have such a link that will cause me a face-palm because I have overlooked it in an obvious place, please share. .

Buddy, you need to update your description. They're up to Beta 15.
