UNITED NATIONS EXTRATERRESTRIAL COMBAT COMMAND

First of all, Hello there! This is my first public released mod and i'm excited to announce it!
This compilation was inspired by several sources. One of the main ones, as well as my reference source is the work of Hobbes in Area 51 and even more in Tech-Com, where I copied several codes. It's my favorite mod of one of my favorite movies. Back in 2015, I played a modified version made by myself of the Equal Terms mod in which XCOM troops used United Nations equipment. Unfortunately, that mod was lost, as my old PC.

I was recently watching the movie The Siege of Jadotville and another source of inspiration emerged of this project, a force of the Blue Helmets fighting against aliens in the Cold War. Xenonauts is also inspiration of this compilation, for some concepts and part of its graphics, although it is not an attempt to copy that game.

FEATURES

This mod is located chronologically right in the middle of the Cold War, almost at the end of the Vietnam War. There will be many pages of UFOpedia explaining the background of the story, as well as the course of the war.

This mod is a compilation, not all the work is mine, as is obvious. I would call it a "franken-mod", because it is made of many different mods, united with glue, love and some things that I have done myself. This compilation is completely playable from beginning to end, but there are still many of my ideas to be implemented.

AIR COMBAT



Air combat is a very important thing now, inspired by Air Combat Rebalanced and Tech-Comm. Hangars can now host 2 crafts. There is a wide variety of aircraft and craft weapons of the time (and will come more, as well as a redesigned tech tree) It implements the HK features, a great addition made by Meridian. So expect to face UFOs actively trying to intercept your aircraft. You probably lose a lot of aircraft soon, that's why they will be somewhat cheaper. Also, you now can forget the ground radars. They are obsolete, actually I remove Large Radar and set the radarChance of the Small to 5%, just to mark the average combat range of your starting planes. Now you can (and you should) launch satellites to search for enemy UFOs and Bases. Be careful, they are reaaaally slow and HKs ate them for lunch.


GROUND COMBAT

Hatred just a tool the aggressors to control
Into the jungle's depth, into the desert storm
Caught between legions of hate
Caught beneath malefic eyes of fate


Ground combat is another important part. You will use realistic weapons of the time, such as rifles M16, AKM, LMG like M60 and Bren, snipers like XM21 and Dragunov among others. Each major power of the Cold War will supply you with unique tanks, weapons and equipment, you can choose to stick to the reliable Soviet guns or try the advanced NATO weaponry.

Forget the outdated HWP, now you will be in charge of an M551 Sheridan, a BMD-1 IFV or a FV701 Ferret SC, light tanks that can really be transported on an airplane.
Of course, an indispensable mod in any game, UNEXCOM includes Terrain Pack, so you can fight in different and beautiful terrains.
There are new races (made by Solarius Scorch) and their weapons are now much more alien (drawn by XOPs), so the combat is more enjoyable.

Haha well, I couldn't make a mod set in the 70s without adding CCR. :') It's a must-have.

Thank you, Hobbes!

Upon a quick examination of basic ballistic weaponry, we got inventory issues:

The M60 sprite suggests that it should take 2x3 slots, instead of 1x3.
The same goes with the M60 belt, which is a 1x1 but the sprite suggest 2x1.

Please refer to the attached screenshots (on mobile )

Using the new "Sheridon" tank is awesome and in the same time displeasing. This tank is too op and can soak up shots more than a hovertabk can do. This new tanks just makes early to mid game Waaaay too easy.
My solution would be instead of nerfing the tank, why not make it more pricey? Since it is a top tier grade tank that time, its just normal that we acquire it at the right price, and oh, make the shells more expensive, so once bought, the tank will feel like a complement to the army

Forgive me thy mod, but I feel this one should be separated.

During examination of the ufopaedia, I experience a game crash after I pressed the next button on the page of the small radar, if I am correct, the next topic will be the large one, since the large radar was removed, such crashes shouldn't exist, unless if it wasn't purged out entirely.
Text issues with all of the ingame crafts, refer to the photo below
And a question: Can we save Earth without destroying it? All we ever wanted after this war is the events of Fallout right? :)

In that inventory screenshot, I see you made a little mistake, there is an unconscious soldier but we don't see the proper bigob, instead it is represented by the grenade launcher bigob (Though its cool to think that once a soldier dies, they transform to weapons).

Thanks for the quick feedback!

I'm working to solve the inventory glitches and the Craft UFOpedia pages. I didn't notice the "grenade launcher human being", I'm fixing it. ;D

About the Large Radar UFOpedia page, I forget to remove them from the ruleset. Also working on that. ;)

About the Sheridan, it's meant to be a powerful tank, it's main gun fires 152mm shells and uses Shillelagh guided missiles. In my tests, a Cyberdisk resisted 2-3 Shillelags and 3-4 shells. But it's correct what you say, it's very OP. I'm going to increase it's cost (both tank and shells) and also decrease it's armor. It's supposed to have an armor as thick as wet toilet paper, after all. ;D

Talking about saving the Earth with nuclear weapons , the Falcon nuclear missile (and soon, the Genie rocket too) is very powerful and can annihilate small UFOs, if you can get close enough. I wish that could be possible to make some penalization to the score for the use of this kind of guns, to reflect the concern of U.N. about nuclear explosions right in top of their heads.

Hello again, seems like you forgot to add twoHanded: true tags on some of your laser weapons, I noticed my soldier holding the las lmg with a single hand, like he was a terminator. Just heads up
And oh, at the start of the game, just give the players 6 pilot units, so we can easily assign them to the crafts where they rightfully belong.

I've fixed your reports (except for the starting pilots, I'm still working on these),  but I'm not at home. Would you like to wait until the release of 0.2? Or you would like me to attach the fixed rulesets here tomorrow?

First I wanted to thank all the modders and Efren for all their amazing work.

As a seasoned Xcom player I wanted to introduce my GF to Xcom but also spice things up for me.

I found this mod's theme, time and features to be the exact right mix for both introducing new players to the Xcom formula while also making it more interesting for veteran players such as myself.

Now to the important feedback part:

The mod needs to work on balancing a few things:

- Interceptor planes' fuel is WAY WAY WAY too low. Looking at the files I found them to be around 120-220 for the most part and it was making the game a chore to play. On out first 40 min run we only managed to down 1 (one) single small scout UFO with two bases!

- I suggest at least doubling each of the planes' current fuel capacity.

You see, UNEXCOM being a whole WORLD initiative it is only fair so that all UNEXCOM crafts to refuel on any airport of any supporting country. Since it would be a mess to simulate this you could just increase fuel capacity.

The hard way of doing these would be:

- Increase fuel consumption when crafts are flying over hostile countries while reduce fuel consumption when flying over NATO/RUS countries.

ALSO:

The fuel tank increase addon that you can buy only gives 50 additional fuel capacity which is nothing and barely even noticeable. It should give at least 150 or more fuel capacity specially considering it takes one weapon slot. Right now there is no logical reason to get one over a weapon.

Everything else seems quite balanced but I will be posting more feedback as we play more.

Thanks and keep this UP! Can't wait for version 0.2

Hello! Your ideas are great! But the problem is that no such feature exist. Sorry.
