@Killerkitty641 I assume that it would reskin the base resistance soldier models to clone troopers, but the resistance soldier models added by this mod would not be changed.

Would this work with cosmetic changes? I have a mod that changes the resistance soldiers to clone troopers, but only the skin, nothing else.

Is there any mod that adds the Chimera Squad Androids as something that can be built, since the models seem to be working fine in XCOM 2?

@오토하스 i believe militia gets upgraded to t2 the same time that ADVENT troopers also gets uptiered. you can probs change it in the mod's folders.

@Deadput
When does militia get upgraded to tier2? Is there anyway I can change it?

Is this safe to add for an existing save?

My pleasure, people.

Ah Dragon got to it before me (I echo Beaver, thanks for answering questions!)

But yeah, general rule is don't use Militia mods with other Militia mods. There might be some niche combinations I don't know about but in general you shouldn't do so.

@Dragon32
Thanks for the reply and really appreciate you being active in the mod discussions and helping others! :)

@PatientLandBeaver
"A Better Militia" is like the great-grandparent of this mod, don't use them together.

Has anyone installed this along with the 'A Better Militia' mod? I'd like to try using this but I'm currently in the middle of a campaign with ABM.

Is it possible to have the existing resistance operatives regen?
I loaded mid game (not in mission, in campaign) and when I went into a resistance mission they are still wearing sweaters and cargo pants and have scar rifles

@Meiyo
Then I don't know, I'm afraid.

I have all the DLC, yes

@Meiyo
Do you have all the Required DLC?

Do you know if there's a fix for some of the units having naked torsos and missing their arms?

@Inerael
Why wouldn't it? The game was last changed in, I think, October 2018.

hey, looks amazing, just wondering if it still works ? :)

@leon2356 , if you scroll to page 6 of this comment thread, you will see your answer answered by Deadput :) not to be passive aggressive, just gently reminding you that searching for the answer can be faster sometimes!

I got a question, does this mod remove the easy to hit tag from resistance militia? I previously used a different mod that removed that tag from militia and civilians.

@Deadput

Last night I was thrown into the first retaliation mission of my Covert Infiltration run. Well, I was on a map that used a crashed UFO which gave terrible lines of sight and terrible cover. The Pathfinders mod added it's SitRep meaning I had maybe 8 pods to try and take down, all of those Pathfinders having 2 pips of armour, which meant the Militia did zero damage on hit every time. On top of all that I get the Warlock popping in and sending spectral zombies at me every couple of turns. My god is modded XCom so much more fun, and hard.

Maybe the Militia could do with some tweak to at least do even 1 damage to these nasty pasty modded enemies?

Hi, do you remember where to go to buff one weapon specifically for militia weapons? I'm just trying to buff the vector rifle by 1 but idk where to go.

Skirmisher weapons I have them set up to share the same stats as normal Militia weapons if I recall properly, aka they have the same stats and all as the normal Militia rifle so edits to one will edit the other.

Might be wrong, I haven't touched Xcom code in several months.

Hey there! Is the MD_TLP_RESISTANCE_WP_MilitiaSkirmtRifle (plus its higher tier variants) a unique item somewhere I can modify? I'm wanting to buff the Skirmisher NPCs with Marauder (I'm playing with lots of mods and the resistance NPCs kinda get stomped all the time) but I can't find their weapon anywhere to edit.

I'm personally not sure, haven't tried the mod.

Quick question, can this work with the "Resistance Units that Scamper" mod?

In that case I can only suggest attempting not to hover over them, the thing about UC is that in simple terms it brute forces every cosmetic to be usable even those normally restricted to NPC types like Militia, Bridge Staff/Clerks, Bradford's clothes, etc

yeah Im using UC thats how they appear on my list

If you mean in soldier customization than that's probably due to Unrestricted Customization or some other mod giving access to the Militia's outfits which are not intended for soldier use in the first place.

Do you have the Resistance Warrior DLC? Not having it causes crashes.

also hovering over the outfits for militia units can cause crashes

Not sure without doing testing myself sorry I'm on break from modding.

I wasn't able to force Volunteer Soldier's to use the exact customization I wanted my last attempt a couple years ago, but I don't think reverting them to their original state is going to change up their customization to what you want either but you could replace the type of unit given entirely but I don't remember the ini file from the base game where that sitrep's setting was.

In the past I tried to add the Resistance Mec's to the Volunteer Army as an additional type of unit but they ended up replacing every instance of a Volunteer Army soldier which is part of why I placed them in the Double Agent pool.

another stupid question: can I revert Volunteer Army units backs to their original state? I mean I like the idea of them being actually useful and not just an extra rookie but Im trying to turn my entire roster into ADVENT defectors and when the rest of the squad is using recycled mag weapons, some dude with crossbow and something other than recycled ADVENT armor on them doesnt fit what Im going for

In one of the config files of the mod there's a mission related ini (forgot the name at the moment but you'll know it by the contents) where I have the set spawns for the different groups, you can probably either erase the relevant lines or you could just replace every instance of another unit with the desired Skirmisher unit aka still keep the same amount of groups but they all only have Skirmishers effectively accomplishing the same thing as the first option in a more lazy but just as valid way.

this might be a weird question but is there a way to guarantee that only Militia Skirmishers will spawn?

@Deadput Yes I am using both Lost World and Covert Infiltration which both have missions with militia and Lost. But I agree with you on the fact that it does not need changing. Jut wanted to know. ;-)

There shouldn't be Lost on the same missions as Milita? Unless you have a Sitrep like Lost World or another mod that allows them to spawn on the same mission then they should not be able to meet.

Regardless not necessarily intentional but nothing I believe I should change either, both Xcom and the enemies are able to Headshot lost just fine and I think it's an alright tradeoff for the help against them.

Hi, the militias from this mod do not do headshot on the lost (0 ap cost if lost is killed). Is this intentional?

Roger that, thanks for answering so fast !

Doesn't touch Militia related stuff at all, that mod is purely for enemies.

At least last I recall anyways, never noticed any effect personally.

How does this behave with Diverse Aliens by Force Level? I'm assuming it will somewhat scramble the militia pod spawning rules?

Regardless will try it out and see

Thanks Deadput. If I ever get to try myself I'll let you know.

I have not myself but I can't promise that it would be compatible, the mod was not made with it in mind.

Has anyone tried this with LWOTC yet?

its not really a problem, ill use the item hider mod to make them disappear :)

I see, not sure what's causing it to happen besides some interaction with another mod sorry.

just pistols so far: "cheap militia pistol", "high quality pistol" & "militia pistol". its sort of cool to use them. i have like 16 of the cheap ones in my inventory i'd like to get rid of. i have not paid attention to exactly how and when i get them. i start doing so now.

Adding the weapons to the loadouts doesn't explain why you are getting them from drops though, I presume you are getting them if an Alien kills a Militia? Do you also get any other Militia weapons?

hmm, i thought this was normal. ok, maybe its because i added pistols to the militia loadouts, and they've become drops? i'll hide them using the item hider then.

Why do you have Militia Pistols, you aren't supposed to be able to get anything the Militia use at least not how my mod is without others altering it.
