Inclusive character pool for use with the Military Camoflague Mode mod
This works for WOTC but they changed the color scheme and a lot of the military camo patterns look like loot in WOTC, if you use mod Calmer colors (WOTC) it looks a little better. You'll also need to get the (WTOC) version of the Capnbub Accessory Pack.
An inclusive character pool to go with the military camouflage pattern mode, as actually setting up enough soldiers to use the minis would take a lot of time, the focus is mainly on NATO as I prefer those countries that have the game's language or accent. Additionally, there are in-game characters from the games Gears of War, Mass Effect, Overwatch and StarCraft, but they are still designed to look like realistic military characters and use their appropriate national camouflage, so they can be removed or ignored without harming their immersion.
So I've never done this before and I really hope that if you install the recommended mods before downloading the character pool, the modified armor patterns, accessories and sounds will still be applied (someone knows let me know). In the worst case, you might not be able to use the camouflage armor pattern from the mod when downloading CP, but even so, the soldiers will still have the correct primary and secondary armor colors, which is the most tedious part, so you'll probably just have to reapply the armor pattern and choose your own headgear. I uploaded a picture of a sticky note showing the configuration of the 188 soldiers in the pool by gender and nationality, it also shows the camo pattern I used and the corresponding primary and secondary colors of the camo pattern.
About the characters in the game
If you're just into military realism then this might turn you off, I'll just leave it in as it's not that hard to get rid of. A safe bet is to simply remove every character with a set nickname, if you are new to the game then you will get around 75% of the characters then none of the names or character designs will have any noticeable effect on you, if you are then you will see that they are respected. I'm a bit obsessed with the idea of unique voices and unique characters in games, so a lot of these were a perfect fit, especially since Overwatch like xcom is a multinational league, so I was able to add unique voiced French, German, Japanese, and Korean characters. (Asian languages/accents are always the hardest to find) If you want to use these characters and voices in your pool,
It is recommended to use the optional voice modes (all in the steam workshop) If you want, you can install these first, maybe the character will remember the correct voice, and if you know the character name, it won't be too much to reapply them. If you skip this, those characters will revert to their default voices

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
