#Advanced Medikit Mod by hellrazor
#sprites from cvilian and chaosshade

This mod adds 3 Medikits for ayour soldiers to use.
The frist one features sprites from Civilian and is avaible from the start.
It only has 3 uses, costs 15 TU to use and only heals 1 HP per fatal wound.
The other 2 Medikits depend on corpse Research, have more uses and give more
HP per fatal wound healed.

Expanded Ubase Reworked

Download: mod.io

#Expanded Ubase Reworked by hellrazor
#Based upon and inspired of the work of luke83

Credits go to:
 - luke83 the original maker of this mod
 - Hobbes for fixing the MCD files, and alot of answer to my mapscripting Questions.
 - Solarius Scorch for UBASE_09d modules which he so generously commited

Requiered: openxcom_git_master_2019_02_04_1901 or newer

README for Version 1.3:

luke83 original work inspired me to rework and bugfix his original maps.
After that the collection of maps grew over time and now including the vanilla UBASE maps,
this mods generates alien base and final assault mission maps from 100 map modules.

Those include N, S, W, E turned versions of all maptiles, also for vanilla ones.
New facilities like Clonelabs, Scout Ship Docking Bays and Food Processing have been added
and a lot of smaller maps for more variety as well. You can and will explore a bigger variety
of alien gardens, small bunkers with good ambush points.

This mod increases the mapsize for Alien Base Missions to 60x60 and Final game mission to 80x80.
Also i am using shade setting 10. Still night for your soldiers but you can actually see something.

If you have any feedback for me, want suggest our own maptiles or ideas added, please let me know.
Easiest way is to post in the forum.

##################################################

About this mod:
My Personal approach on creating a sort of Long War Mod for the Original UFO - Defense.
I originally created it as a player torture device *evilgrin*, but it turned out to be a Mod people like to play because of the challenge it offers.
When designing this Mod, I decided to stick on the core Vanilla Original Game Principles and create basically a Expansion Pack, which
offers a much better Research Tree, a Economy were you need money desperately, where you will face difficult decisions and set backs during your campaign.
All this has been enriched with a lot of additional Weapons and Tanks, which all have a unique use case.
Enemies, which will give a Nightmare during your dreams (at least I hope so, *grin*).
Its a LONG war to free earth (ingame time: 14-16 Months). So are you ready for the ride?

This mod intends to make the gameplay more challenging and deals with
most of vanilla versions flaws, like overpowered Psi and early Plasma ownage.
It sticks strongly towards the vanilla core components and builts upon them.
It is aimed at experienced X-Com players, who know the game well and are
not afraid of a difficulty higher then Superhuman. The Aliens have more
variants and your weapons will slowly become obsolete due to them.
Research progress is a must, but comes at costs.

For playing you should choose difficulty Superhuman, since the mod is balanced
to be played on Superhuman difficulty, otherwise you wouldn't have the full experience.
The difficulty will be actually far higher then Superhuman, considering mainly the changes in economy and research.
Technologies will need alive aliens captures to unlock and will trigger additional mission.
Research takes longer and you do not have access to a alien
containment from the beginning. It is recommend to get between 200-250
scientists by November. Otherwise the game becomes extremly difficult.

The vanilla game always lacked proper weaponry sets including melee weapons, shotguns, sniper rifles. All of these have been added for the ballistic and laser weaponry for X-Com and the Alien plasma weapons.
A extended set of additional grenades and small launcher ammo together with added grenade launcher gives very good indirect fire possibilities. Small launcher acts as a artillery style weapon, arking shot .

More armors, starting with ballistic vests up to reinforced power and flying suits expand the survival capabilities of your soldiers. Power armor also extends stamina and increases carry capacity.

Have fun exploring the new drones and tanks, which will draw alien fire and help detecting targets to shot or support your wounded troops. Drones may even help with capturing alive aliens.

A large number of terrains from Hobbes terrain pack and other mods (65+ additonal terrains) have been integrated and partially overworked (bugfixes mostly).
A extended set of maps has been added, featering turned version and additonal maps modules to make fighting within alien bases more enjoyable and tactical challenging.
Aliens have a couple of more UFO types, Fighter, Sentry, Excavator and LabShip.
Vanilla UFOs and new UFOs types all have extended set of interior maps variants (total 124 map). So enjoy exploring these.

Aircombat has been balanced, UFO's especially big ones will shot your interceptors.
A faster and much more durable interception craft has been added, also a enhanced skyranger version, with a back door.
Swarming Terrorships with interception craft is highly recommended.
The Laser cannon is actually useable now

Being able to interrogate alive aliens requires you to raid a nearby Alien Base early.
Otherwise you have no tech progress. The base is located in your starting
region. For the time being also one of the Story Items is located in
the alien base. Raid this base as early as possible!
The game can only be won by capturing and interrogating a Ethereal Commander who unlocks the final mission.

However your run goes, let me know your feedback and how i can enhance the mod further.
For a detailed list of changes (may contain spoilers) see the Features further down.

For a real challenge play the game in Iron Man Mode!
Please do no use the OpenXcom Iron Man option and enforce your own Iron Man Mode, its a big mod, so bugs may happen.

I hope you will enjoy this collection of 60+ Mods (i stopped counting)
and please report any possible Bug you might find on the forum.
Feedback of any form is also appreciated.

      STR_HOVERTANK_EBOMB_UFOPEDIA: "This tank design combines UFO technology and Alien Launcher weaponry. The ability to fire Elerium Bombs from within midair should be deadly to most foes. A clipsize of 20 is sufficient for most missions."

Problem is it seems like its get its Clipsize not from the tank but from the Elerium Bomb. Someone know how to make this work properlys?
