Total overhaul for vanilla X-COM
Keeps original premise (aliens invade in 1999), but prolongs the game while changing all the internal mechanics. No Skyranger, you begin with civilian cars, two men teams, no ability to make labs and no crafting and slowly go from there. Go bash in the skulls of Dagon cultists until you find real aliens.

This or Xpiratez?
If you want X-Com+ without going full weaboo of Xpiratez, this is your option.
Both mods are cool and mutually pollinating (authors of both mods know each other and exchange assets and ideas).

No, but during my last attempt I had agents called Scolder and Molly.
