Advent Evolution – Mod Plugin

#NotAModder

I am a streamer who has created a lot of custom crazyness for XCOM 2 using the tools other modders have created.

Be sure to catch my stream on Twitch! Stukov-81 Twitch Channel[www.twitch.tv]

This Mod tries to make Advent more interesting and later on a bit more challenging as well. For this we are using the mod Dynamic Enemy Creation (BETA). Probably not how Chris the Thin Mint planned his Mod to be used. What are we going to achieve/want achieve with this plugin also for a few Mod enemies

• Different Stat Buffs depending on Alert Level
• Perks depending on Alert Level and/or Force Level
• A negative Perk. High chance early, lower chance with higher Alert and Force Level
• Additional Perk rules the higher the Force Level, well beyond Force Level 20. The Last rule appears at Force Level 75
• Small Chance on a "racial" perk

Really required is only the Dynamic Enemy Creation Mod. I set it up in a way that each rule has enough base game perks to chose from. Said that, more Perk Packs mean more variation and also more nasty things. Suggested Perkpacks:

• [WOTC] Stukov’s War Perk Pack
• PROJECT EXVENT: Playable ADVENT Soldiers [v2.3]
• Mitzruti’s Perk Pack
• New Chosen Traits
• [WOTC] Extended Perk Pack

Some Mods enhance the gameplay in my opinion so i would suggest using them together with this one::

• Mission Difficulty Variety WOTC and Activity Difficulty Variety CI by h4ilst0rm. You can set a larger difficulty variety for later game stages with it. Which has some effect on this mod.
• ADVENT Not Created Equal WOTC by h4ilst0rm. More Randomisation of the enemies
• [WotC] ADVENT Unit Promotions – by Nider001, does something similar as i am doing here. Both together works nicely. I plan to release a plugin for this in the future
• [WOTC] FL Extender – by Astral Descend, to have scaling aftter FL20

The enemies of these Mods are affected:

• A better Advent by the legend DerBK.
• (WotC) Spectrum: Enemies and Aegis Division by Lost ported from the original Spectrum Mod
• [WOTC] Hell Marauders – by the legend NightNinja54
• [WOTC] Advent Hunter Restoration (Counter Op) – by the legend Deadput
• Advent Spark Standalone – by the legend Deadput
• A Harder War: The Ethereal Restoration – by the legend ReshiKillim an Inspiration to my ideas
• A Harder War: Advanced Aliens – by the legend ReshiKillim an Inspiration to my ideas
• A Requiem For Man: Praetorians Standalone – by the legend ReshiKillim an Inspiration to my ideas
• [WoTC] Pathfinders – by the legend Claus
• [WoTC] Custodian Pack – by the legend Claus
• [WoTC] Muton Harriers – by the legend Claus
• [WoTC] Assault Troopers – by the legend Claus
• BIO Division – by MrShadowCX
• Even More Robots – by MrShadowCX
• Frost Legion – by the legend Mitzruti
• Advent Droid Troopers – by the legend Mitzruti

Should be compatible with pretty much everything. But you know … it is Beta, so if you see anything not working. Let me know. Was made and tested with Covert Infiltration

• What’s Alert Level?
  A combination of campaign Difficulty (0-2) and Mission Difficulty (1-4) and a Dark Event (0-1).
• Some Perks are given multiple times? Crap
  Well … i was not able to solve this bug/feature. If several rules trigger the selected perk stay in the array and aree
  given multiple times. Treat it as a bonus/extra malus
• Config?
  Everything is a config edit. Just change/add/delete what you want to do
• Does anybody read these things?
  Probably not

– add Unit Promotion configs

• FearTheBunnies for his great support and help!
