This mod changes:
summarizes all gameconfig.xml changes to make the [B4X2] collection possible to win in IRONMAN & VETERAN difficulty, most importantly the "More Planes" Mod where you need to run several bases holding independent dropship squads to tackle distant alien terror sites
boosts starting funds
boosts relation bonus for doing ground missions
changes starting layout and staff
changes staff costs (cheaper soldiers, more expensive scientists) - you´ll lose 10 or so men per month, have a roster of 60+ men
to make your many soldiers look distinct with less repetition in portraits, use my "Bigger Pool" Mod
changes buildings.xml and reduces staff capacity to encourage base founding
lost continents can be reconquered by eliminating alien base(s)
slowed down alien ticker progression to prolong early game
