Hi all,
I installed the MOD WOTC: Second Wave Plus from Team Dragonpunk in Steam Workshop.
Dragonpunk Team thanked you at Steam Workshop:
"Special thanks to Long War Studios for teaching us (and the community) everything we know!
Team Dragonpunk is a diverse, multicultural, international team of men and women."
Now i checked the XComSecondWavePlus_Settings.ini in the MOD directory an i am asking myself what exactly Stat_Cost=X means and what effects is would have if i change the value from Stat_Cost=2 to Stat_Cost=7?
Waht does "Stat_Cost=X" ?
Any ideas?

Re: WOTC: Second Wave Plus - Waht is "Stat_Cost=X" ?
I don't recognize that exact setting from our mods, but my guess is that soldiers with the "not created equally" option turned on "buy" stats and that's their relative cost. So 4 points of aim is valued the same as 1 point of mobility.

Re: WOTC: Second Wave Plus - Waht is "Stat_Cost=X" ?
Hi johnnylump,
thanks for your quick answer.
I appreciate that, very much
Yes, it is "not created equally"
But, I am not sure if I understood your explanation correctly...
Lets say, a Soldier is starting with an offense of "65".
Now with "Stat_Range= 10, Stat_Min=-10" the Soldier will start with a offense between 55 and 75.
Is that right?
What is now the "relative cost" ?
Could you please go in detail what "So 4 points of aim is valued the same as 1 point of mobility." means?

Re: WOTC: Second Wave Plus - Waht is "Stat_Cost=X" ?
Again, I can't speak for WOTC, but we had a system where soldiers randomly "buy" and "sell" stat points to give them different stats but overall have the same aggregate capability. I presume those numbers are how much buying and selling a point in a given stat cost. The stat ranges are boundaries on how far they can go in either direction.
