UFO Classes

The general idea of this mod is to add class and level to soldiers. This is achieved by automatically manipulating saved games.

As a user interface; soldier names are split into fields respectively for level, name and class.

Improves 5 aspects of an otherwise awesome game:

• Removes the tediousness from the task of micromanaging soldier roles.
• Increases the RPG element of the game and thereby makes missions seem less repetitive. 
• Increased soldier attachment combined with the inherent mortality of soldiers adds extra tension during missions.
• Soldiers are placed according to class and level in flight.
• Ordering a new batch of soldiers is actually exciting!

Should make the game even more immersive!

OBS!:

• Designed for UFO Enemy Unknown / UFO Defence. Other X-COM titles are not supported.
• Supports both DOS and Windows (CE) versions of the game.
• Should be compatible with all mods that don't affect/depend on soldier names/soldier.dat entry indexes.

It should be mentioned that the classes used in this mod don't completely coincide with the soldier types mentioned in Squad Composition and Tactics.

Soldier classes: Assault, Sniper, Shock, Medic, Heavy and Support
