[MOD]Stronger Group Combat

[Hatsune_Neko]

You lift your head up, to see the face of your attacker, before you get a glimpse, they drive in the killing blow.
And all you can think about before that, is all they asked for was some bread. which you did not have. This sad cruel world is finally at a end for you, but your squad mates still continue to fight the hungry bandits.

And so Begin's the battle in Stronger Group Combat.

What does this mod change?

• Enemies are roughly 1/2 to 2 times stronger then average vanilla
• Enemy Groups can have larger amount of NPCS, and more Lieutenant and or Bosses
• Dead hives are larger and stonger
• Non Base race Enemy bosses have 2x to 3x the amount of normal hit points.
• Meat adjusted so all flesh animals drop meat, but in lower amounts.
• Attack slots is at 2x instead of default 1x
• All NPCs have their own stats instead of only a couple in vanilla.
• With higher risks come higher chance of better loot, higher chance of having their default Armour upgraded.
• Robotic NPC's are no joke, they are stronger, faster and deadlier.
• Certain Robotic spiders drop AI cores but are much stronger then normal.
• Suicide notes found in certain large creatures. with higher chances of good loot.
• All bosses are much stronger and deadlier and some include new weapons.

Future plans

Continue work and adjustments to refine a better but harder experience.

Cleaned out post so easier to read and to reflect the new Mods.

new and Improved!
Larger Stronger Combat Mod
With new Start: Escaped Slave
Difficulty level: Extreme
Not only is their more, but NPC's are stronger and better trained ( i upped their starting random combat skills.)
Also adding in something new
A new way to combat looting and making massive amounts of cash. ( Feature not working yet )
All Tech has had cost increases. ( working on fixing the cost to research everything, the second test run did not work as intended, it wasn't charging the amounts i changed all the non blueprint versions to )

Female Chance upped to 50% across the board.
All NPC Squad Sizes doubled.
NPC Squad sizes are not set, they are random ( based on double the normal size ) so as to add unpredictability to the mod.

Escaped Slave Start
You are loathed by your former captors for having escaped. You barely manage to escape but you are wounded and being chased by Dust Bandits sent to kill you once and for all. Your only option is to run. ( Bandits to chase you at the start not working and not sure how to place it yet )
Slavers, Imperial Lords and Holy Empire all hate you, Dead Cats are your only friends

I get it updated to the new Kenshi beta as soon as i have time to. At which point ill create a new Topic for the Beta Version.

[Hatsune_Neko]

[Hatsune_Neko]

Change Log for version 2
Changed AI Core to Security Spiders and increased their combat skills, adjusted their inventory width so the muscle drop item will fit.
A few tweaks and hopefully a possible fix for the 150 adventures sitting at waystation.
which im still wondering how i managed to get that to happen....

[Hatsune_Neko]

Due to the update button not updating the current mod with the same name properly....
Version 5 of Stronger group Combat is now uploaded with a possible fix ( I hope ) to the 100 recruits sitting in bars.

Stronger Group Combat Version 5

Whats new in Version 5?
All NPC's have now been fully adjusted
All Wildlife has been adjusted
Squad Template Recruits List was sitting at 100 max so adjusted that back down to slightly above normal.
Dogs are now dangerous. as i adjusted their speed. as dogs should be able to outrun you.
Much of the wildlife hit-points for certain areas adjusted upwards.
Robot spiders adjusted again, this time increasing their speed and ht points and dexterity. ( credit goes to Rislem GamingEvolved.co.za for telling me the results of their battle with the security spiders. I adjusted them due to their feedback. )

The holy nation guards and patrols have women in them, is this intended because we know how they regard women. It's a bit strange from a lore point.

[Hatsune_Neko]

holy nation has a 50% chance for women.
i had that set long before the lore of the Holy nation was setup.


But yea i'll change that in version 7

[Hatsune_Neko]

version 7 is uploaded to steam workshop now.
also Raw Meat Rebalance, The meek shall inherit, Primal Wildlife, and Bigger, Badder Bosses have all been updated.

if people want me to upload them here. let me know. as for now steam is just easier to keep updated for me.

[Hatsune_Neko]

If anyone would like to look over my Mod Stronger Group Combat and look into the hirables and find where i'm messing up on the tech hunters and their numbers being generated i would be much appreciated because i still haven't killed that 100 being spawned in towns and i thought i had fixed it. in version 7.

Would realy apreciate the help.

[Shidan]

Looks like it's from the "Recruits List" squad. You've got some extra people assigned to the "Squad" section of its entry. You're safe to remove them from there, as the squad now gets recruits from a "choosefrom list".

Pretty sure the bars used to pull their recruits from the "Squad" section, but now it's just used to guarantee characters spawning in a squad. One of the problems with long time mods, you end up with things bugging out thanks to the game changing.

Hope this helps.

[Hatsune_Neko]

found the file and reverted it
uploading it now.

Thanks Shidan. that was bugging me to no end.

[Hatsune_Neko]

when the last section of the map is added, ill try and get this mod updated as soon as i can.
but sicne its updated regularly on experimental branch. there shouldn't be to many changes needed as i also modify items that are not in game yet.

Cheers as we close in on the games final release after the last map section is added.
