I'm not gonna add any mods for my first proper walkthru, tho there are some mods already published. Bigger terror sites and 'randomized' UFO interiors among other things and a big compilation one by WarBoy1982 which unfortunately hasn't been updated in a while. (not compatible with latest) I'm using the 0.9 nightly build from a couple weeks ago
I am going to be using a few optional settings which Open X-Com has added:
-aggressive retaliation (because difficulty is fun)
-live alien sales (will annoy the l1berals, why not)
-death notifications (because we want to see Codexers die, at least virtually)
-force aircraft launch - means you can intercept even if low on fuel... at the risk of interceptor crashing on the way back. Options are always good
-custom initial base
-inventory stats (shows strength/accuracy of soldiers, useful for equiping)
-sneaky AI (they try to hide)
-explosions are 3-dimensional (I'm planning on using a lot of rockets to flatten buildings)
Hesitated about 'ranged accuracy modifier' because I tried this on my last game and it made humans ridiculously bad. Would choose on lower difficulty levels... tho if enough people want can always switch back to ranged difficulty later
Anyway first things:
-initial base location. I am thinking Australia, wherever Cleve currently lives tho it is probably not an optimal location for UFO interception
-player names. First eight volunteers will go on first mission
Also, if a terror site is at night there will be a night mission, no cheats. I am trying to convince Open X-Com developers to enforce night missions in the default game they haven't agreed yet
