It's an overall improvement and one of the biggest reasons is the reworked Demolition map. Low-ish Will and moderate Aim Heavy when you already have two heavies? Well now that third wheel can be turned into an Assault (must be done before selecting a class, duh) and slap that Neural Dampening genemod on him/her.Īlso, even though Sectopods got buffed and such in Enemy Within compared to Enemy Unknown, you really, really want to play the Enemy Within expansion over Enemy Unknown.
The reason for this is that the game assigns classes randomly, so you might end up with a Sniper who has lower aim than your Heavy, so now you can assign the class to squaddies (or higher rank soldiers from trades via Council Requests or Abduction rewards) that best fit their stats. You have to use the Barracks view soldier, click the abilities option, and use the left/right arrows beneath the soldier. Commander's Choice allows you to decide what class your squaddies will be. That way I can ignore the lame timer and concentrate on keeping my squad alive while I advance forward. It allows several options for how you gather meld, I personally go with the Disable Meld Countdown version because the timer practically encourages you to rush through the map to find it, especially bad on large UFO maps. Meld Mechanics rework, for Enemy Within.
I hadn't even been given control of my squad for more than 4 seconds before they got spotted and moved. I installed the mod for the first time after starting a crash landed UFO mission and as soon as the mission starts, a pod of Mutons got spotted, they were at higher elevation and already flanking, so they dashed into high cover.
So it's more of leveling the playing field: they dash ahead like idiots and get ambushed, same can happen to you. This applies even if they dashed to a position while patrolling the map, meaning they can use both actions to dash into the open, get spotted, and then dash into cover you can't do that.
In short, in EU and EW, when an enemy pod (cluster of enemies of the same type, like 3 Sectoids travelling together) is spotted, they get a free movement phase. You can adjust how many missions it takes to grant you medals and how many you can get, for if you want fewer or more than the default amount, more of a nice thing to have than an essential mod. Cornering the Medals Market for Enemy Within. You can sort of mod the game using the Patcher GUI found here:
