Hey, great mod. Makes me want to watch the X-files series.
Thanks.
I was wondering, what do the difficulty level do in this mod? I heard it affects research and enemy stats.
Like with the vanilla, difficulty level affects enemy stats, the number of enemy units in battles and also certain alien missions (for example, when do alien retaliations start). Also, the lowest level halves enemy armour, so it should be considered more of a cheat/trainer than simply a difficulty level (since it ruins the entire balance).
I'm wondering on which level to play. I'm thinking, if I play on Veteran with Ironman, will this be hard enough? Or is superhuman just too hard?
When asked about this, I always say that Superhuman is for psychos. but of course many people play this.
I recommend playing on Veteran. If it is too hard or too easy, you can go one degree up or down (you can change the difficulty by editing your save, it's easy - just change difficulty: 2 to difficulty: 1 or difficulty: 3). The easiest and hardest are a bit extreme, so only play them if you want a non-typical campaign (either a trainer or tedious hell).
