Instruction
1. Download and replace ZXCampaign.dat
2. Start new campaign
3. Ignore the hero missions (just pretend that they don't exist).
Tested on Steam version 1.1.3 64 bits. Should be compatible with any platform version of the game.
Note: A reddit user has reported that he / she is struggling with tech tree sometimes resetting between missions.
Current best theory is that resuming an existing campaign (started without mod), could be triggering anti piracy / anti tampering feature of the game.
How do I know if the mod is working?
If the game tells you that you will be rewarded with the number of points listed, in the table below, then it is working.
Example: Without mod: 120 Research points rewarded in The Hidden Valley. With mod: 320.
