nice! Please explain new rank system

Candidate (CND.)

Operative (OP.)

Senior Operative (SOP.)

Squad Leader (SL)

Sergeant (SGT.)

Lieutenant (LT.)

Captain (CPT.)

Major (MAJ.)

To assign a new rank, you need more points than the in version from the developers.

Would it be possible to add more ranks? I think the current system is a bit flat.

By the way, excellent work!

There is a limit to 8 ranks, it's hardcoded.

Question, WG:

How does your mod change gameplay?

You said that you need more points to rank-up your soldiers, does this mean that morale gains due to higher ranked officers present will take longer to get?

In essence, what are the game play only differences of it, how does it alter the balance of the game?

Also, if I install this mod after I've started a game and have a squad of captains, will their ranks continue to be that high, or will their ranks lower due to them not having enough points to have that high a rank?

Oh, and please explain the new medal system as well. How are those changed? Are there medals added? Etc etc.

Thanks, these all look great!

I looked into the actual files, and it seems like the only thing it does is make it so that it takes longer to get higher ranked troops, and it changes some of the images and rank names.

So, in essence, I answered my own questions. Thanks for the cool images!

really like the look of the mod, would it be possible to restrict the amount of soldiers who hold each rank?

It is not possible, I've looked into it. Sorry.

Also, the mod isn't updated to be used in later builds. I wouldn't recommend using the xml files provided in the package.

The icons are nice, though.

oh was hoping to find a mod that got round the whole "army of commanders" problem and as i have seen from else where in the forum it doesn't look like chris wants to address it as he doesn't see it as an issue.

Well, he doesn't want to change the way the game works, by adding a system to limit rank-ups based on available rank openings.

I don't think he would take issue to simply renaming the ranks and changing the icons, if he were given the names and icons, ready to be implemented.

One question for you:

There are eight ranks in the game. What ranks would you like there to be in the game?

well as many have said i would restrict the amount of officer ranks so maybe

1 Private

2 Private 1st class

3 Corporal

4 Sargent

5 Master Sargent

6 Lieutenant

7 Captain

8 Major

though i do like the idea in this mod.

Having Officer ranks is all fine and dandy but since we can't limit them yet it's really kind of silly going into battle with a squad of Captains and Lieutenants. I like the direction you're going with this mod, keep it up!

Hi all...

The mod will update the how game release will be ready.

Keep changing XML files bored.

Too the frequent hot fixes.

Do it all the time before the release of the game, do not see the point.

The possibilities WG_mod are limited with a game.

If there in the xenonauts will be more ranks, medals or will be more limitations on the numbers of officers, will be happy to make changes to WG_mod.

I'm sorry for any errors in my english. I use a online translator.

Hi all.

WG Mod Updated for V19 stable (hotfix 02\09\2013).

Good luck to everyone...

Here is something I wondered about

with all the various mods relating to changes to the games stock rankings, why has no one considered expanding the ranking system?

I mean 75 being the bar for max rank seems a little weak since potentially a character could gain as many as 396 rank points at which point he or she would be maxed out.

Why hasn't anyone expanded rankings to say double the number of ranks?

I do not understand the question.

To Many settings in the game have code that can not be changed.
