Hi welcome to my full UFO and TFTD Hybrid mod. This version is the UFO gameplay with TFTD Terrain only version.

This is a mod, which allows you to play UFO game only, with TFTD undersea terrain. UFO aliens are able to crash land and do missionsite underwater and also participate in TFTD terror missions.

You can play this mod like a normal game or start your Hybrid mod from here.

-This mod is build mostly from the TFTD codes in the Standard folder for xcom2. All Alien Weapons and Aliens from TFTD follows the original TFTD baseline stats.

-This mod will allow you to explore UFO and TFTD USO crash sites and mission site underwater,

-You can build underwater bases, ONLY after the first base is build on land.

-Final mission no longer go to Cydonia or Tleth via the Ultimate craft method. Once the research for Cydonia or Bust, or Tleth is complete, wait for next month, and then you must search for an special Alien Starbase. So you can hijack a UFO transport to get to the final destination. For Cydonia, the Starbase is on land and T'leth is in the sea. So happy hunting!
