X - Division

Destiny Denied

Ver.0.98.2.7 for 1.5+ and 0.33+ CE



When the invasion began, the world was at cold war. They didn't trust each other.. They wanted to defend themselves alone. Many great soldiers didn't want to betray their own countries too. But few volunteers and some resources saw the danger in near future and created a division named X.. they were not the best, they didn't have the hidden cold war technologies but they got faith in their souls. And some warriors, scientist and workers gave their life for their future.. In time, the world will see what they are against but they will be to late.. X - Division was the final hope..

Welcome to X-Division A full Overhaul Mod for Xenonauts. This mod is made for to add more variety, micro management and using all the aspects of the main game. This mod is hard, complex, long and challenging. As my first mod in my life, it has my +20 year of turn based combat game play experience with best of its genre like Fallout Tactics, X-Com and Jagged Alliance. I strongly recommend to play this mod after finished Xenonauts.

 

X-Division brings most of the old X-Com concepts in to the Xenonauts with bringing micromanagement and alive alien capturing. Addition to old concept, X-Division adds many new weapons, planes, vehicles, researches, manufactures, projects and enemies. Many players don't have any idea about how to calculate game mechanics, like damage types, resistance and armour mechanic, armour penetrating and more. This mod uses every little bit of the game mechanic.

This mod has no joke. Everything has a purpose. Weapons, armors, enemies... You need everything to survive.. Ignoring something like "i don't like to use vehicles" or " shields are useless, i can fight without them", will make your life much more harder.. because i said those things to myself when i play vanilla and XNT and i try to figure out how to make all aspects useful..

Xenopedia and tooltips fully remade. New X-Pedia got about 400 entry with new lore. Some entries got not a lore but will be handled as soon as possible by lore writers. New original X-Com style X-Pedia got every weapon 1 by 1...

Xenonauts had no name as a special ops at vanilla game. As an navy officer at my country, this is unacceptable for a military unit who fights against a serious enemy. For this reason, i wanted to create a flag, a family, a force to fight together against a thread, as X-Com created 20 years ago.. I hate to copy something already used so i created "X-Division".. Made an emblem for it and put everywhere at game. Now you have an ID... live with it, die for it..

X-Division started as a next version of XNT 6.0 after XNT team stopped modding. Now X-Division is a totally new mod with XNT aspects inside; some are nearly same, some are different and much more content.

All new weapons art taken from countless web sources, searched for days and the best edited at Photoshop to use at game. New weapons get unique particles-explosions. Few of them taken from here as visual mods but sadly most of old visual editors are no longer here and i couldn't get any answers to my pms..

X-Division started a single mans dream and now became a team. All people who loved the old days and want to help as modeler, lore writer, 2D effect designer even grammar checker will be welcome on board!

4 Branch of specialist aliens for 3 time era of the game.
Medics - Stun and chemical weapons. + Damage to that alien types
Technicians - Reactors and most of manufactures
Pilots - UFO infos and parts.
Weapon commanders - Weapons.
You need to capture every one of them for 1 time to understand alien tech. For example to learn alien plasma weapons, you need caesan weapon sergeant. 

- 4 New Androns as their control units. They are very tough but needed as manufacture material for many high tech electronic devices like vehicles and armours. All andron bodies are now used for armour-vehicle manufacturing. You cant stun them so you should not blow them up.
- Crazy AI which makes you crazy and kill you.. A bit updated version of the XNT 5.3 AI made by Tactical Dragon and Sentelin. The enemy got no hurry, nothing to worry and will find the best way to make you scream.
Global Additions:
- Beginning of the game is really hard. Your basic weapons are totally crap. Get an armour and new weapons ASAP.
- Invasion is much more slower then default. Dont panic if you think you are slow.
- All economical rates are upgraded, balanced for mod. 
- All manufactured items can be sold for benefit but the rates are different per items.
- Game has 4 main damage types. Kinetic-Energy-Chemical and Incinerate. All aliens got weak and strong resistances against certain type of damages. Soon you will see them at Xenopedia, but not yet. For this reason you can check:
