Unpredictable Ruler Appear Chance [WOTC]
Not to be confused with my other mod Alternate Ruler Appear Chance – these two mods are not compatible with each other (use 1 or the other).
In the default game, Ruler appearances are fairly predictable. Default game: After a mission in which a Ruler appears, they will not appear during the next mission. On the 2nd mission, they have a 75% chance to appear. If they don’t, then they are guaranteed to appear on the 3rd mission. <– This is the default game.
*This mod* changes that, by instead giving the Rulers a flat percentage % chance to appear on each mission. The percentage varies by difficulty:
41% on Recruit
44% on Veteran
47% on Commander
40% on Legend (lower because the default % table is lower on Legend)
It’s possible that you could get 2 missions back-to-back where a Ruler appears. And it’s entirely possible you won’t see a single Ruler for 4 missions or so. Who knows? They strike randomly! This can allow for some really divergent gameplay experiences.
This mod does not affect any existing missions in which a Ruler is guaranteed to spawn (such as, Alien Nest). Also, any missions in which a Ruler is prohibited from appearing will still function normally.
(normally it is, Viper King first, then Berserker, then Archon).
To balance out the early game and late game, all Rulers have had their stats averaged out, so that each Ruler is just about as powerful as the others. (normally Viper King is weakest and Archon Ruler is strongest)
— Compatibility —
This mod does not conflict with other mods that modify Ruler AI or abilities during missions. May not work with any other mods that modify Ruler appear chances.
For a similar mod – but for Chosen, try Unpredictable Chosen Appear Chance.
