Welcome To XCom Enemy Unknown Welcome To Hell Mod V4.6.10.0

This Is A Hybrid Of Long War Mod And Vanilla Game, It Includes All That Is Good From Long War Mod (i.e. Extra Items, Sone Research Overhauls And Pretty Much Everything That Made Long War Mod Entertaining + Adding All That Is Good In The Vanilla Game (i.e. 2 Abductions Missions At A Time Forcing U To Chose, Satellite Spam (Although Limited But Still Easier To Satellite Spam Than In Long War Mod, And Everything That Made XCom EU A Wonderfull Game.)

Please Do Note Its Only For EU. Patch 4, Game Version 1.0.0.28586, Not Optimised For EU Patch 5 Yet As The Patch Broke The Mod, Making The Game Ready For EW. Might Not Work Well With EU Patch 5 And Certainly Wont Work For EW.

U Can Rollback To EU Patch 4 From Here ---> http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/mods/450/

NOTE - This Version Has Pre set Settings And It Is Not Advised To Use XCom ToolsBox Under Any Conditions Cause It Can Mess Up Ur Game. Making It Unable To Play. U Have Been Warned (Although Editing Some Values Seems To Be Working Fine, Am Not Sure Which Are Working And Which Are Not)

5 - XComGame Cheat Dev - Combination Of Cheat EXE And Dev Exe. For Testing The Game. Boosts Solder Stats And Nerfs Aliens, Gives Extra Resources And Has Developer Shell Unlocked

TIPS
====
Save Before Killing Ur Last Enemy .. It Will Come Handy In Case If U Dont Like The Class Ur Solder Picked, So U Can Reload Just Before Killing The Alien, As Solder Is Assigned To A Class Randomly Every time he Levels Up For The First Time.

There Are Some Perks, Which Work With One Other And Triggers Awesome Chain Reactions. U Can Find Them In My Recommended Perk Trees For Each Classes. For Example Run And Gun Coupled With Aggression Coupled With Killer Instinct Coupled With Bring Them On = One Dead Alien. Sometimes U Might Need To Work In Coordination To Trigger Some Chain Reactions Like Suppress An Enemy And Then Overwatch Ur Solder Near Him And Then Flush Him Out, This Forces The Enemy To Leave Cover And Search For New Cover, Triggering Reaction Shots.
