An Easier War: Infiltration

This is part of a series of .ini tweak mods I plan to upload over the next month or so, made as a bit of a favour to those who are finding LW2 just a bit too difficult and want to tweak specific parts.

This focuses specifically on the Infilitration system, I find it pretty intuitive vanilla wise, but I know there's some people who wished it was a bit easier to work with. So this modifies the Infiltration system, specifically re: squadsizes, so it's a bit less punishing for exceeding the recommended limit, and pushes that recommended limit to around 6 soldiers instead of 4 to 5. Also boosted the benefit for going below average a bit.

You'll still suffer major consequences if you greatly over do it, you're just somewhat less likely to hit that area.

Also modifies the effects of over/under infiltration, so you have less of a ramp up in difficulty between 75% and 100% infiltration, and slightly boosting the effects of over infiltration.



And if you're wondering why one would use this instead of altering the XComLW_InfiltrationSettings.ini file directly, this one is far less likely to get overridden by an update compared to Long War 2, especially if Pavonis ends up adding a major feature that requires a rewrite of XComLW_InfiltrationSettings down the line.

To edit the consequences to your further liking , go to (wherever XCOM 2 is installed)\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\847495317\Config and open the XComLW_InfiltrationSettings.ini contained within.
