Swarming+++

Post by wizard1200 »

QOL
- "Swarming" will have a number of plus symbols after it depending on how many enemies are on a mission; ie Swarming+++ has more than Swarming+. This will help show infiltration progress a little better in high-alert areas.

I think that Swarming should be capped at 34 - 36 enemies, because ...
... it looks strange to have different levels of Swarming and not different levels of Extremely Light
... the distance between different enemy groups is too close

I just want to see a parenthetical with the actual numbers/range of possibilities to make an informed decision. There's no reason people who have memorized tables of what all the various levels mean should be able to plan and play better.

I agree, I find it stupid that I'm looking up tables on ufopedia to play the game better. I don't have 1000 hours of long war like xwynns who just rattles off oh it's light that means x numbers of enemies.

It would be nice to have these numbers by default, but for now I've just manually added them myself. Simply go into Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\844674609\Localization and modify the XComGame.int, lines 2623 and the following:

[X2StrategyGameRulesetDataStructures]
MissionDifficultyLabels[0]="Unknown"
MissionDifficultyLabels[1]="Extremely Light(6-9)"
MissionDifficultyLabels[2]="Very Light(10-12)"
MissionDifficultyLabels[3]="Light(13-15)"
MissionDifficultyLabels[4]="Light-Moderate(16-18)"
MissionDifficultyLabels[5]="Moderate(19-21)"
MissionDifficultyLabels[6]="Moderate-Heavy(22-24)"
MissionDifficultyLabels[7]="Heavy(25-27)"
MissionDifficultyLabels[8]="Very Heavy(28-30)"
MissionDifficultyLabels[9]="Extremely Heavy(31-33)"
MissionDifficultyLabels[10]="Swarming(33+)"
