Wintermist Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Perhaps a slider in the Settings screen could be made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuraudo Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I was introduced to this game through steam early access and I love it, but I registered here just to ask if we could get a slider like Wintermist suggested. That way, if you feel so inclined as to have 100% females you could be catered to and those of us who find it jarring to have female infantry on the battlefield could turn it off without diving into modding the game files. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I find it kind of fitting we are fighting an unkown alien force that is much stronger then us so we have to trow every able bodied person at them bet i men or women be it 20 years old or 50 years old It kind of fits the humans "zerg rushing" the aliens and trieng to overwhelm them in whatever posible way so 40% female is ok it does not bother me at all As i understood it, the XCOM (or whatever you want to call it) is an elite organization and not the volkssturm of the human race. Imagine how few (if any) female soldiers you find even in nowadays special forces and you can get an idea of how many you would find in a game that tries to create a believeable fictional scenario in the 1970s/80s. Tends pretty much to zero. And that's what i personally think are two of the strongest points that set this game apart from all the other XCOM homage remakes. It's style & immersion when it tries to be retro and believeable. Yet in honor of the original game and it's female soldiers, they should be included. Still i would strongly support the idea of a slider who's basically set at 20% to keep the immersion while using the existing graphics and still grant people the possibility to adjust it to their taste. Currently people have to search for through the internet and forums for hours to find this backdoor and some might even not try that and feel annoyed, because they didn't even know that theres a possibility to change that manually.

flashman Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 If you think theres too many women blame kickstarter. If you like having women in game thank kickstarter. Kickstarter backlash is the reason this thread exhists. I personally dont care either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I believe more options never hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 It would be nice if all of the options that were possible to adjust had a slider in the options screen but there are an awful lot of them. The basics will probably be in there and the rest left as adjustments to the xml files with a text editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebarrelman Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I think there are way too many female soldiers. I would keep them around 10%. I disagree, women make excellent snipers. Ask Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Is anyone releasing an explanation file that lists all the adjustments you can make via text editor or has that already happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 That would be a very big file There is a list of the files on the modding forum that gives you a good idea of where to look if you wanted to make some changes though. http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/5046-Xenonauts-configuration-files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
