You ever notice that so many of your troops from the Random Pool share the same background? Well of course you have, there were only 9 ones included in the core game.
This mod changes that. Oh wow, does it ever change that...
So far I have added 64 new soldier backstories and 5 new ones for both engineer and scientist bio pools. These include the ones from Aug's discontinued mod. In addition, I now support Configurable Birthdates by thegrimsqueaker72(http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=681764334). I strongly recommend that you get this. There's still a few wrinkles in the code, but it's well done.
My mod is incompatible with any mod that changes the [Engineer X2CharacterTemplate], [Scientist X2CharacterTemplate], or [Soldier X2CharacterTemplate] inside of XComGame.int. Otherwise there should be no compatibility problems at all. If you have any other mod that changes those tables, you can manually input them in using a text editor.
From what I have discovered, you can only see an Engineer or Scientist's backstory when you first hire them from the black market. I am not sure if they are viewable anywhere else. But the changes are there.
If you find any errors, please let me know! If you have any new backgrounds you'd like to see in here, let me know. :) I have threads up on the project page to use, I’m always happy for feedback.
Contributors are listed in the readme.txt, it's getting big and long. :)
Thank you all!
