Code:X Conquest AI Overhaul

The AI is smarter in this mod. Expect a challenge!

This mod transforms Code:X AI into a far more tactical opponent. The AI now reacts to contact faster, spreads out more naturally, uses suppression and flanking pressure, and behaves much less like a wave of units sprinting blindly into your position. Conquest has also been reworked to create heavier, more dynamic battles.

• Smarter Combat AI: Enemy units react to fire much faster, return fire more reliably, and are less likely to wander or suicide-rush flags while taking casualties.
• Fire & Maneuver Combat System: Under fire, AI squads split into tactical roles. Some units (60%) hold and suppress while others (40%) maneuver forward to pressure or flank your position. This creates more believable assaults instead of one-directional charges.
• Suppression-Based Engagements: Squads spread out more naturally, use cover better, and are more likely to fight as groups instead of bunching up or drifting aimlessly.
• Conquest Mode Overhaul: Spawn logic, reinforcement timing, and wave sizes have been reworked. Difficulty scaling has also been adjusted so lower difficulties send lighter pressure while higher settings retain the intended challenge.
• Wounded & Medic Improvements: Infantry on all sides can now enter the wounded state, and AI medics now revive their own wounded.
• AI Smoke Support: AI medics and advancing AI units use smoke support during assaults and casualty recovery.
• Horten’s Auto-Loot: AI logic upgrade powered by Horten’s Frontlines scripts. Both player and AI troops can intelligently scavenge useful battlefield weapons, including AT launchers, to improve their effectiveness mid-battle.
• AI Support Weapon Behavior: AI behavior for artillery and support guns have been expanded and tuned, while AI tanks can also attempt to disengage and seek repairs when badly damaged.
• Expanded Fortification System: Engineers and regular infantry now have access to custom sandbags, trench assets, and other defensive options (thank you AKR3D).
• Weather Changer: Includes the Immersive Weather mod by Ivar, with 41 weather presets that can be switched during a match using the weather button on the right side when selecting a single human unit.
