Pun Soldier CP (WotC)

Description
Contains 113 lightly customized pun soldiers. If you don't like puns, this probably isn't for you.
-War of the Chosen Required, but no other dlc.
-CapnBub's Accessories used, thus likely required to avoid errors.

Base Game version here: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1139681110

"Cringe as everything bad that could happen hits Murphy Lawe;
Cry out as Mack Shotte misses that 100% shot;
Make car noises as Steve Walker sprints across the battlefield;
Laugh maniacly as Cate Astrophy sets off a destructive chain reaction;
Hold your breathe as Brick Wall tries to live up to his name;"
You get the idea by now... just adding some light-hearted fun.
(.....and possibly saving your friends' lives.....)

These soldiers' names sound out words or phrases in English, with some being better quality than others. I have strived to name them as closely to actual names as possible, although several have partially fictitious names. Additionally, some of the puns could be considered stretches. However, I am pleased with the overall results, especially the ones that are combinations of actual names. Some of the soldiers are also references to characters in other movies or games, and are generally signified by having a preset nickname.

I should note that I am unfamiliar with other languages' names, and so the majority of soldiers are from the US and other English-speaking countries. (If that is a concern, I suggest adding your own custom soldiers from different nations to your character pool for variety)


Of course, you can edit and customize these soldiers to your liking after importing, creating your own versions of them.
Additionally, it will not override anything in the character pool, so you can combine multiple character packs.
-If by chance you want to publish your own version, I'd appreciate being given credit for the original work. :)

I hope you enjoy these soldiers as much as I enjoyed creating their names!

-----As of update on Oct. 3, 2017-----
There are 113 total pun names (including 3 SPARKs), these lists are for your distribution preference:
- Pun Soldiers BV - 110 XCOM soldiers & 3 SPARKs

Probably too much text, thanks. I'll edit it down a bit.

I got a little confused before, I might not be the only one. I suggest making your descriptions read like this:

There are 110 different pun names (not counting SPARKs) with three list choices for distribution:
Pun Soldiers BV - 110 rookies (+3 SPARKs).
Pun Soldiers VIPs - 100 VIPs & 10 Dark VIPs (the last 10).
Pun Soldiers DLX - 85 rookies, 12 VIPs, 4 Dark VIPs, and 3 of each Resistance Faction (+3 SPARKs).

Tested and released an update today, should be 3 lists provided now. The description of each is above. The new soldiers are at the bottom of the lists (except VIPs list) if you just want to just grab those. Let me know if it doesn't work for whatever reason after updating, and good luck in your missions!

A VIP-only version would be nice but I'm hesitant to push my luck.
Elarjorn  [author] 2 Oct, 2017 @ 11:20am 
I actually meant to have then assigned when I originally made it, but manually transfering them to WotC took it out of me. (It was before I had made it a mod and knew how it worked.) Also, if I can do multiple lists, I'll make one that they're all VIPs/dark VIPs. So probably about 3 total lists if all goes well.
Elarjorn  [author] 2 Oct, 2017 @ 11:15am 
Ah, makes sense. I plan on updating the list with a few more names at some point, and I'll see if I can pack multiple lists into this mod file. If I can, I'll have an all soldier version and a version that has them pre-assigned as soldiers/VIPs/dark VIPs and faction soldiers.

I actually already changed the pun characters to VIPs (by hand) but if I ever change my mind about wanting them as vips/soldiers, it's going to be another bout of arthritis...
Tyrant 1 Oct, 2017 @ 5:13pm 
Oh, it's not that I can't figure em out, just more subtle than I would like.

I do have another request though. Could you add a pool with all the same characters, but as VIP/Dark VIPs (and a third one where they can be soldier/vip/dark vip)? Helps keep the engineers/scientists/assassination targets from looking like monstrosities when you're using mods.
Elarjorn  [author] 1 Oct, 2017 @ 12:30pm 
I probably won't release an overt pun pack unless there is some more demand for it, but I'll try to get a list up that says what each soldier's name references if that helps.
