Allies Unknown Redux Species: Argonians
This mod adds a new recruitable unit to XCOMs alien roster:
- For the base cost of 55 supplies, argonians are tougher and regenerate faster than your average recruit. Stat-wise, compared to humans, they gain 10 defense (higher in lower difficulties) and 1 extra HP, while losing about 10 points in average to their will score and 2 to their mobility. Additionally, they take 50% less damage from poison and gain the ability Histskin, which, upon activation, allows them to regenerate 1 HP per turn to a max of 3 HP (both configurable).
Don’t forget to go to Options > Gameplay and set the 3 sliders for the SkyrimArgonians to the minimum so that humans don’t generate using Cavily’s cosmetics.
You have free range to use regular soldiers’ cosmetic options on argonians–so, for all of you with hundreds of cosmetic mods, go nuts!
Additionally Cavily’s mod comes with plenty of horn variants in upper face props as well as some feathers sorted under hairs, so have fun altering your argonian’s appearence if they didn’t spawn quite right. The mod also comes with actual argonian faces as well as helmets to be used with invisible heads, argonians are always generated using the helmet versions, due to their matching the arm colors better. You are free to switch between those if you, for example, want your argonian to wear a cowboy hat or if you wish that your argonian had visible head feathers since, for now, they don’t appear when using the helmet version of the heads.
Sometimes they generate with an invisible torso. Idk if it’s due to UCR but I’m not fully sure why it happens.
Obviously Allies Unknown Redux is required to be able to recruit argonians to your forces.
Mitzruti’s Perk Pack is required for the icon used for the argonians ability: Histskin. As well as for the poison resistance ability, since that mod handles that perk’s template’s creation in its entirety.
To be able to see the argonians, you’ll need Cavily’s Skyrim Argonian Cosmetics, as all of the cometics used are from his mod.
Thanks to Cavily for allowing me to port his amazing Khajiit cosmetics for this mod.
Thanks to Mitzruti for making it so that I didn’t have to figure out how to code the argonians’ poison resistance from scratch.
And huge thanks to the XCom modded discord for helping me through a lot of the fiddling required to put this one together, and for giving me ideas on what sort of abilities to give argonians to make up for my being a total skyrim noob.
