Description
IMPORTANT - INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
Copy the UPK and uncompressed.upk file from:
SteamApps\workshop\content\268500\658305112\CookedPCConsole for me

Use them to replace the ones from:
steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XComGame\CookedPCConsole

you probably want to back up the original upk files before doing so.

Current list of changes (All can be enabled/disabled via INI edits)

#1 - Training Roulette
My highlander has a cleaner implementation of Training Roulette
The default training roulette settings in my highlander are a bit different though,
Instead of training roulette all your soldiers, soldiers from rewards are roulette soldiers.
And instead of classes being rouletted, the roulette soldiers are their own roulette class, with random primary and secondary weapon combinations.
These settings can of course be tweaked via config.

#2 - Dodge Chance Tweak
Dodge scales with miss chance, instead of being cut-off at 100%

Example - 99% Aim & 33% Dodge
Previously: 66.33% Hit, 32.67% Graze, 1% Miss
Now: 98.67% Hit, 0.33% Graze, 1% Miss

Example - 60% Aim & 33% Dodge
Previously: 40.2% Hit, 19.8% Graze, 40% Miss
Now: 46.8% Hit, 13.2% Graze, 40% Miss

This naturally a huge nerf to dodge for the aliens, so dodge stats on all aliens have been doubled.

#3 - Concealment/Ambush Tweak
Overwatches on player turn can now crit

#4 - Secondary Weapon Customization
Secondary weapons now have different weapon customization than your primary weapon.

Miscellaneous
Stunned enemies are no longer considered towards flanking (Useful for Grimy's Bruiser Mod)
Allows mission objective timers to still be visible with Grimy's Mission Timers

FAQ

What is a highlander mod?
A highlander mod is one that edits xcomgame.u.
A highlander mod always conflicts with other highlander mods.
There can only be one highlander mod active in your load order at a time.

Can you upload these changes separately?
If I did, I'd have separate highlander mods, and by definition all of them would conflict with each other.
It's better to upload them as one mod and give you the option to enable/disable each of the features.

If this mod doesn't work, you can try the following:
Copy the UPK and uncompressed.upk file from:

Any chance of porting this to WotC?

Are you planning to add this to the Community Highlander? I think a lot of people like myself are eager to use this with Long War 2. I personally went in and added 2 new primary weapons, 6 new secondary weapons and over 340 new skills from other mods, including Long War 2, to be used in Roulette soldiers only to find out that this doesn't work with Long War 2, and therefore none of the stuff i did would work. Needless to say I was livid, so I emplore you to start working with the Community Highlander if haven't already started. Thank you, and I hope you'll answer my call for help!

IS this needed to use mods on side arms and armor along with mod everything??
jweller12 Jun 21, 2017 @ 9:46pm 
could you please add this to community highlander?

Your Roulette is simply my favorite class, will it be compatible with LW2, with this mod being a Highlander ?
Kungpowish Jan 10, 2017 @ 8:13pm 
Nope, I have tried that.
WildWhisper Jan 10, 2017 @ 9:58am 
I wonder if simple setting 0% chance of appearing roulette class will solve the problem

THANK YOU WINSTAR, YOU ARE LEGEND

For anyone looking for a way to do the Shen's Last Gift mission, I found a workaround. Type into the console "AddItem gremlin_shen 1" without the quotes. This will add a Rov-R into your secondary weapons. Just equip it to one of your gremlin capable soldiers and that soldier will be able to activate the spark. You still need to drag squaddie shen around, but the mission is completeable.

Please add a fix for Shen so her mission can be completed.
