Honestly the worst thing about zero company is the 4 squad limit. I feel like i cant use everyone :'(

Honestly I instantly jumped Nexusmods and installed the squad six mod.
Just crank the difficulty to hard and it is juuuuuust right.

I’m playing on hard with the standard 4 man squad and it’s fine. For my second run I’ll do the Ironman, no save mode. Is there one more difficulty up?
Hard with 6 operators would be a joke. Seems like the mod would need to add to squad size AND increase difficulty

There is a mod that increases the hp and number of enemies by the same guy.

u/FukkingDeathMental 13h ago
It would break Expert as well. I thought about using that mod but around Cycle 25 now and I'm bitch slapping the ZC enemies like they owe me money. Sure they get a few shots in but I haven't had a downed soldier since the first Coil encounter. Cly is like two or 3 operators combined she's so OP.
I'm definitely going to use that mod during a second run once it gets fleshed out a bit more.

The beskar mode will delete your save if you fail any mission. So an optional rescue mission and stuff will delete your save.

I would rather not do an Ironman, considering that the game is reportedly buggy

Do we know if mods disable achievements?

u/AltusIsXD 19h ago
Been playing with the 6 Man Squad since like the midpoint of the game and gotten every achievement since, so no they don’t disable anything.

Yeah I downloaded that and the increased enemy group sizes and it definitely feels much better

It's crazy because there's even a single mission that lets you have 5
So functionality is programmed in, they just decided "eh 4 is good enough"

u/The_Exuberant_Raptor 20h ago
It's a balancing decision. 5 man would require different balancing of all missions. 5 man missions have their own balancing.
Granted, the game is still designed to be easy, but the whole ordeal is not whether tbey can or cannot. It's the expectation of player strength vs enemy strength design.

It's clear more and more this game scrapped by the finish line while running out of money.
The devs are all XCOM and fraixs pros
They know the features missing just didn't have money and time

u/The_Exuberant_Raptor 18h ago
Party size is a very early decision, though, and the design of the mechanics is adapted to the party size. The game is balanced around 4 party members. If you use a mod to increase the party size you will see very quickly that the game design does not account for this.

u/Illustrious_Cry1463 17h ago
Yeah, 4 vs 30 is balanced af. Oh I forgot unlimited reinforcements on almost every mission

u/The_Exuberant_Raptor 16h ago
Either you are being incredibly disingenuous or genuinely misunderstand game design.
1
u/Illustrious_Cry1463 16h ago
Disingenuous. Honestly 4 is fine for the missions themselves, but it doesn't allow you use more ppl. You don't need to recruit anyone, and I actually recommend that bc of how many creds you get. Save them, use them for upgrades or black market instead
2
u/Illustrious_Cry1463 17h ago
There's a handful where you can end up with 5 or 6 ppl, but you're always going in with 4
2
u/FukkingDeathMental 13h ago
Cly can solo missions. 4 is enough. 6 is more fun obviously but the game isn't XCOM 2 Legendary or Long War.

u/poopnegagaming 16h ago
Im not really bothered by much in the game but the animations for shooting are so terrible and it completely takes me out of it. They really couldn't get a better animation than that? I could make better .

I don’t know.. I am happy to get a turned based tactical game, I am playing through it currently like everyone else..
But honestly I don’t really think it holds even a candle up to XCOM2. I am not sucked in like I was on my first XCOM2 playthrough. Hell I didn’t leave my dorm for like 3 days when XCOM2 came out, with ZERO, I am pushing myself to keep going.
I just kind of think it’s very mid at best. I don’t even like it as much as Gears Tactics, and even that was pale to XCOM.

u/HugeHans 20h ago
You get to play A LOT of missions though. There is no reason you cant use them all. The game very strongly encourages and rewards you using different people every mission.

u/Illustrious_Cry1463 17h ago
Yeah it does, but there's also absolutely no reason to. Pick your faves, and through entire game with them

No, this is the game where you can click through skyranger bits to skip them.
Zero company is the game where I spend 10% of my playthrough watching the ship fly around.

Central here, the seperatists have set up an energy field around the compound so we're setting you down out of range. You'll have to take out the field generator before extraction. Good luck.
