something that should have been available in the base game

@chronosarcanos - Can you post / IM me that file? I can't get it to work right for some reason

Ah, that's great! Thanks for sharing, chronosarcanos!

One more thing, after you put the code on LWOTC you can deactivate this one. But thank you very much Surray for the mod, its a game changer.

It works perfect with WOTC, and Ive found that is really easy to integrated it with LWOTC, there is only 2 small behaviors that overlap between the two mods, so open XComAI.ini of both mods, on LWOTC delete the line with these 2 behaviors
BehaviorName=GenericScamperRoot
BehaviorName=CounterBeaglerushManeuver
There is more writen on those lines, but just search for then and there will be only one result of each line, delete the entire line. Now you can just copy the entire content of this mod and paste were you just deleted one of those 2 line (Doesnt matter witch).
Ive tested and it is working fine. If the long war guys dont mind I can upload the .ini file and post a link here, but anyone can do this by itself, super simple. Hope this helps, I personaly cant play the game without this mod.
PS: I dont know how to integrate the scrip that makes it work on existing saves, it will most probably only work on new saves (For LWOTC, because if its not LW then the original scrip work anyway)

There hasn't been an update to the game in a long time so it should still work, but I'm not reinstalling 70+gb just to verify.

I don't think this mod has been working.

Great mod! Thank you!

Does this work with Bannerlord 2?

guys i don't think this works with LWOTC

Anyone able to fix this so it works with LWOTC?

how many times yall gotta say it dont work for LWOTC? just read the other comments ffs

Yeah doesnt work.

dont work in LWOTC

It still works for me! Thank you!

want use in lwotc

Doesn't work anymore. Need someone else who knows how to code to redo this mod.

Doesn't work at all, is the only mod enabled, enemies still get a free turn...

Doesn't work with Empire to Advent. My guess is its too much of an enemy overhaul to be affected by this

Will confirm from my experience that this is not compatible with LWOTC.

Would it be possible to limit this to specific enemy types? Like chryssalids

This is the mod i have been looking for.

非常有用的插件，可以完全禁止敌人在被你触发后的强制移动行为，更加的符合了我玩的桌面战棋的感觉，说白了，我就不喜欢英菲尼迪那种我动对面玩家也能动的规则

don't use,anemy no longer move any more

Yeah, it's easy mode on it's own, which is fine for some. I suggest using it with other mods that increase difficulty in more interesting ways to compensate to still have a challenging game.

Installed this because the "free move" seems to be a really stupid and annoying feature of X-Com.

Though after playing through half a campaign, i find that it makes the game way too easy.
The problem is that all targets are automatically "flanked" when you activate a pod, so you get crit after crit without ever having to think about tactical positioning.

Thanks for the info and the file. I doubt it's a mod conflict, but I can't rule that out. If working with that file doesn't fix it, I'll mark it as a mod conflict. Gonna keep this mod subbed, though, regardless. I know I'll come back to XCom2 after this run eventually and your mod makes more sense than "hey, xcom saw us! we get a free turn to move even though we technically haven't noticed them yet!"

You're not misunderstanding, they're not supposed to move from where they're discovered.
Not sure what could cause an issue though, I haven't worked with this stuff in quite some time.

If it's not a conflict with another currently active mod, I vaguely remember something about an existing edited file potentially causing issues, but it's a long shot.

If you want to try, you could delete the XComAI.ini file in the config folder. Make a backup to be safe, but I think it should auto-generate a new one when you launch the game.
Alternatively, you could try using my XComAI.ini file. I uploaded it here https://pastebin.com/Xd9uP1A0
Just paste it in and replace the existing content or replace the file entirely.

The file can be found at:
C:\Users\-your username-\Documents\my games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Config

This isn't working for me. When I move into a tile that discovers the enemy, they still get a free move to scatter and get into cover. Am I misunderstanding what this is supposed to do?

Nice mod,I always hated how BS the free move was.

Thanks dude, that always annoyed me. XD

To those thinking this is cheating. It is, but not if you use the Yellow Alert mod. This with the Yellow Alert mod brings a fun balance to the game.

Aaah, exactly what I was looking for. It's not fair that the enemy AI gets a free move when they spot you, removing any sense of you getting to ambush them or flank them.

I love this mod so much! Super cheaty though, especially with Tactical Suppressors : )

Have abba mod and it seems it sadly doesn't work.

Sorry, I don't know. It shouldn't break anything but new enemies may not be affected.

If the new enemy uses the AI routines of an existing enemy type, it should work, but if they have their own AI put in by the modder, that won't be affected.

As I'm not active in the overall modding scene I don't know how likely each scenario is, so you'd just have to try and hope for the best :p

Is this mod compatible with ABBA mod and mods that add new enemies pls?

Well, not on your turn. After triggering the enemy group, when you end your turn with the enemies still standing there in the open where you found em, they'll likely try to get into cover when their turn starts, so you can set up overwatches for that.

After all, the whole point of the mod is to NOT make them run for cover on your turn.

WIth this, you can essentially ambush with normal attacks, without having to put everyone on overwatch and hoping for the best.

What about ambushes? Will they still run for cover triggering overwatch?

Thanks Surray for the answer mate, great work.

I believe so. During my testing it worked with mid-mission saves too when I changed things.

Nice mod, great work. would it work mid campaign?

Bless you for this. I was wondering just last night if there was such a mod actually lmao

Nice! though i have xcom scamper installed, so basically ive reversed the dichotomy! :D

@Die By My Sword666 Normally when you spot a group of enemies they immediately run into cover on your turn, which feels a bit unfair. This mod removes that "free move". Lowers the difficulty quite a bit of course.

THX

Are they meant to get a free move?

Great. Thank you

You're welcome :-)
Reveal animations work as far as I can tell. You get the reveal cutscene, then they just don't run away afterwards.
