Sleeper Agent
New squad ability: Sleeper Agent.
Turns a humanoid (if it can be bound by a snake, it’s humanoid), non robot non civilian unit to your side. The target must not be impaired in any way (stunned, panicked, burning, disoriented, rooted) or berserk. It can be damaged however.
You do not have to see the unit, you can use comms to activate it across rooms and walls. It’s really awesome.
It requires 1 Action Point, but does not end your turn.
-= SUCCESS CHANCE =-
The chance to succeed is a contest of will between the Reclamations unit and the target (BASE + Source Will – Target Will). Use a unit that has a high Will score, like one of your Psis.
Units immune to Psi or Mental cannot be subverted.
-= SHARED CHARGE =-
If you use Sleeper Agent, you cannot use Team Up and vice versa. Both abilities now share their activation.
-= DURATION =-
The effect is permanent (duration wise), but if the initiating controller dies the unit is freed. The unit is also freed if an ally has Solace (which can only happen if you use my other mods) and they enter the radius. And of course, the unit who initiated the control leaving the battlefield is also a big no-no.
Once you initiate the control, the target unit does not change positions in the timeline. Be careful not to control a unit that is near another hostile that has it’s turn next, because your ally will probably get shot.
-= VISUAL EFFECTS =-
XC:CS doesn’t allow new effects to play properly, so the ability is bare-bones graphics wise. No special lights or anything, but it works.
-= CONFIG =-
You can edit the chance the effect succeeds in this mod’s INI file, the default is 75% base then modified by both unit’s will values. You can also change how much it costs to use.

-= OVERPOWERED =-
Probably. I suggest playing at a high difficulty if you use this.
