Description
This mod changes the default soldier ranks in XCOM War of the Chosen.

Custom Ranks provided - You can set them to anything you like

Consider these ranks an alternative to being a paramilitary force. What would your operative be known as in a futuristic movement - A Resistance Ghost? A Resistance Captain? Perhaps just a Legend...

New ranks are as follows:
XCOM Operatives Psi Operatives Vanilla | Resistance Ranks Vanilla | Resistance Ranks ----------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------ Rk. - Rookie | Rk. - Rookie N/A | N/A Sq. - Squaddie | Ftr. - Fighter Int. - Initiate | Neo. - Neophyte Cpl. - Corporal | Ghs. - Ghost Acl. - Acolyte | Acl. - Acolyte Sgt. - Sergeant | Op. - Operator Adp. - Adept | Dsc. - Disciple Lt. - Lieutenant | Vet. - Veteran Dsc. - Disciple | Par. - Pariah Cpt. - Captain | Cpt. - Captain Mys. - Mystic | Tle. - Telekine Maj. - Major | Elt. - Elite War. - Warlock | Psy. - Psyker Col. - Colonel | Hero - Hero Mag. - Magus | Al. - Alpha Brg. - Brigadier | Lgd. - Legendary N/A | Mas. - Master

Optional - Custom Skirmisher, Reaper and Templar Ranks

By default, the custom Hero class ranks in the screenshots are disabled. They instead use the same as XCOM.

If you want to enable them, follow the instructions below.


Setting your own custom Ranks - It's Easy!

Navigate to this mod's install folder within your Steam directory:
Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1123970618\Localization

Open XcomGame.int with Notepad and change the titles as you wish. Make sure you keep the quotation marks.

To enabled disabled entries, simply remove the semi-colon from the line start.

The mod has a light one-time script which will apply your new Rank names when loading the game.


Compatibility

Any other mod which sets rank titles may over-ride this one.

If you uninstall mid-campaign, then the Ranks will simply revert to vanilla.

Non-WOTC Version available here.

I mod occasionally. Curate a little. Sometimes even play XCOM.

Gameplay changes! CWG Collection, built for a Legendary Ironman experience.


Please kindly take a moment to rate up if you enjoy the mod. It helps visibility on the workshop and generally makes me feel happy about the dev hours I've sunk into it. Thank you!

Btw this mod didn't do anything, they still have 7 ranks total not 8. What could it be?

How does this mod work with Reworking Hero Classes like Project mods which reworks Templar, Skirmisher and Reapers?

Hi, just wanted to ask if this mod is still working / still updated. Seems not to be working in my most recent save.

That's awesome. Thanks man.

Yes, just copy a Hero class entry from and define the desired class template. Will even work for custom classes added by mods if you know the exact template name.

e.g.

[Ranger X2SoldierClassTemplate]
RankNames[0]="Chad"
...

[cc_Inferno X2SoldierClassTemplate]
RankNames[0]="Hades"
...

Is it possible to add ranks for specific classes? For instance, having a different rank system for rangers?

Thank you! You are a hero.

You need a class mod which will provide the additional rank + abilities for your soldier. This mod will then allow the new rank to be renamed.

LW Classes or my own Chimera Classes will add rank 8 for you.

Alternatively, yes I guess you could do this yourself on vanilla classes. Navigate to

Steam\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XCom2-WarOfTheChosen\XComGame\Config

Open DefaultClassData in notepad++ and paste the following string below the Colonel entry for each XclassType

Thanks for the great mod! One question: Will this mod provide an additional rank beyond Colonel rank in the original? Or do I need to enable LW perk pack in order to have that functionality? Is there an option (if it does not provide an additional rank without that perk pack) to add just a rank without any new set of abilities (that is, just stat bonuses, but no new abilities)? Thanks!
