Сrеdit gоеs to Pepper Roni!

Introduction

First off the program i recommend you use to read the files im mentioning would be the the all powerful Notepad++, if you dont have it (although you already should) find it on google.

Secondly, the files we will be editing are (Normally) under:

C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonXCOM-Chimera-SquadXComGameConfig

Third, backup your original files!

DefaultStrategyTuning.ini AKA The Magic Maker

To start, basicly every number that looks like [0], [1], [2] or [3] is implying the difficulty setting from lowest to highest.Moving on.

Starting Resources (the amount of currency you get at start of new game)

StartingIntel[1]=#
StartingCredits[1]=#
StartingElerium[1]=#

Mission Rewards (self-explainatory)

BaseReward_Credits[0]=
BaseReward_Intel[0]=
BaseReward_Elerium[0]=

The Cheating Aspect

Unrest change (abs-value) for skipped Missions

IgnoredMissionUnrestChange[0]=

Unrest change (abs-value) for skipped Situations

IgnoredSituationUnrestChange[0]=

Change both to zero(0) and the civies will be sleeping like babies while their friends are getting SWATed.

Turn Related Modifiers

Set Duration to one(1) and event will be done after a turn.

Spec Ops

Same with everything under.

Training

DefaultResearch.ini – R&D Baby

Change BaseTurns=# on research items to BaseTurns=1 and you will unlock it the turn after you research it,cheap but effective

DefaultGameData_CharacterStats.ini – OP Optional

Want to make your team Stronger from the get go? Fine ill show you how,

Under [XCom(CLASS GOz HERE)_Diff_0 X2CharacterTemplate] you can change the stats for your squad members like so…

[XComAndroid_Diff_0 X2CharacterTemplate]

CharacterBaseStats[eStat_HP]=10 ;XComAndroid_Diff_0
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_Defense]=5 ;XComAndroid_Diff_0
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_Offense]=75 ;XComAndroid_Diff_0
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_CritChance]=15 ;XComAndroid_Diff_0
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_FlankingCritChance]=40 ;XComAndroid_Diff_0
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_Will]=60 ;XComAndroid_Diff_0

After

[XComAndroid_Diff_0 X2CharacterTemplate]

CharacterBaseStats[eStat_HP]=15 ;XComAndroid_Diff_0
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_Defense]=8 ;XComAndroid_Diff_0
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_Offense]=90 ;XComAndroid_Diff_0
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_CritChance]=30 ;XComAndroid_Diff_0
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_FlankingCritChance]=55 ;XComAndroid_Diff_0
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_Will]=80 ;XComAndroid_Diff_0

I suggest you dont go overkill with the stat changes bcuz it might screw up you game.
