The X-Com Files / submod load order(s)?

« on: August 31, 2023, 03:36:01 pm »

What are the guides/rules of thumb regarding submod load orders for OXCOM Files? Do I want the big additions on top?

Alternatively, would it be better if I just posted the list of mods I want to play with, & ask what order they should be in?

The X-Com Files / Chump desperately needs help :P

Hello! So far, I'm loving the mod, but definitely getting frustrated because, well, I'm getting my @r$3 kicked :/. While I have never played an XCOM game myself, I watched the Lewis & Ben playthroughs, & I've played a decent bit of strategy games.

I'm playing on Veteran, but I've had missions that felt...impossible to win, let alone come out with a positive score. Civs always seem to get butchered, no matter what I do. Zombie missions inevitably result in me getting swarmed & running after losing an agent or two.
Also, in Jan 1998, I had "Cult Manor-3" spawn near one of my bases... and lost some of my best agents trying to deal with it.

What am I doing wrong? I'm guessing most of the difficult is coming from how I'm playing. I've attached my save file, if anyone is willing to have a look at it.


Also, a question: when should I aim to have promotion II unlocked?
