This can also mitigate late-game squad wipes to some degree.īefore going too far down this road, we'll still need to work out what to do with the training center and "AWC" abilities (issue #8).

Add one or two staff slots to Training Center that can give promotions at the cost of time and AP, so now you have to decide between super soldiers and a more robust barracks.

Try to align faction soldiers with normal soldiers in promotion mechanics.

Add perk rows for: pistols, offensive, defensive.

Award AP at mission end - higher combat intelligence gains more AP.

Remove in-mission AP rewards (the game is just not a good judge of what makes a good play).

Allow for more distinctive soldiers, so a barracks always feels quite different from one campaign to another.

Mitigate the massive investment in time and XP that constitute high-ranked soldiers that then die.

Turn Ability Points into a consumable/tradable form of XP.

I don't know whether the ability point system can be repurposed for this. There could be an interesting trade off between building (mildly) super soldiers and being more robust in the face of one-off soldier losses. This would allow them to mitigate the loss of more experienced soldiers. I think we can also open up some interesting player decisions by allowing players to spend ability points to train up soldiers. I would rather see ability points awards alongside XP. Melee fighters are probably hurt the most by this.

It could potentially also favour some soldier classes over others. The current system basically rewards you for certain types of play, but not others.

We should rethink how they work.įor a start, I'm not a big fan of how they are awarded. As things stand, XCom will likely collect a lot of ability points which could result in an easy route to super soldiers.
