Editing X-COM 2 Config Files

Faction Heroes and Card Slots

You can increase the number of faction heroes available by finding and editing the following data. I haven't messed with changing the number of card slots, but I would hope that bumping up the NumCardsOnMeet from 2 to 3 would just let you pick an additional Resistance ... Power? Card? Whatever they're called in game.

DefaultGameData.ini

[XComGame.XComGameState_ResistanceFaction]
MaxHeroesPerFaction=2
StartingCardSlots=0
NumCardsOnMeet=2
