Description:

Adds the Advent Titan enemy from A Better DLC as a standalone unit, it does not depend on A Better Advent like the original mod does. (Although that doesn’t mean you can’t use it alongside this mod)

Description of the unit from the original mod:
The Titan is a heavy melee unit that is armed with the Hunter’s Axe. Titans have lots of armor, health and even shields, making them extraordinarily tanky for a single ADVENT unit. They are however also melee only and while they do carry an Advent Shotgun, they only use it very rarely (like a vanilla Stunlancer). Despite their sluggishness, they will try to flank one of the XCOM soldiers. Should they achieve this, they will throw their axe into that poor saps’ face, then go into melee mode.
Make sure to outmaneuver these guys, otherwise you’ll see a sudden burst of damage coming your way.
Titans come in three tiers like most ADVENT units. They are followers only and can be part of any ADVENT group, no matter if it’s lead by an alien or an ADVENT leader.
Titans use the exact same Hunter’s Axes that players use, with tier 2 and tier 3 having the appropriate upgrades as well. This means that they can also cause the secondary effects that XCOMs axes can cause (Burn, Stun).

Personal Lore:

"The ADVENT Titans were designed to work as offensive units, as opposed to the Shieldbearer’s more defensive role. A heavily armored assault unit, Titans come equipped with their own versions of ADVENT powered armor, as well as rifles modified with a shotgun configuration. They also wield dual throwing axes featuring experimental cloaking technology, though only one is kept hidden at a time for reasons yet to be determined. Additionally, their upper body strength levels have been enhanced due to certain gene modifications that introduce non-human primate genes. As a result, their axe throwing skills are remarkable and deadly. However, this comes at the cost of degrading their mental faculties to the point where they’re considered the dumb, angry troops of the ADVENT army. Excelling in close quarters, they are best taken on from a distance."

(The Cloaking tech thing is my justification for the invisible throwing axe bug that is still present from the original mod)

I would like to thank DerBK for allowing me to port over the unit, A Better Advent is a great mod and should definitely be given a shot, if you do use it you should also use his A Better DLC mod which is where this unit originally came from, this release is meant to be enjoyed by those who do not want the whole ABA package.

Also shoutout to BasikShaft for assistance with the written lore

If any bugs arise, just comment down below and I’ll try to get to them, there probably shouldn’t be any trouble though.
