@Ironmonk Thanks!

@hottt3
Use "Stukovs Chosen Entourage" instead... this one doesn't work properly AFAIK.

If I have aliens from mods, will they be spawned as well? Is it compatible with LWotC? Thanks.

Sorry but that is not my mod

Any chance of the patch for "Diverse Aliens By Force Level WOTC" still happening?

I'm not sure what I'm missing, but their minions don't seem to spawn with the Chosen for me. And I don't have any mods that alters enemy pod sizes enabled either.

@Alex Nares Thank you for the quick answer.

Yes - every time a Chosen spawns (even in their Stronghold), they will bring a minions as described above.

@Alex Nares - Do Chosen also appear with an entourage in their facilities?

Maybe, I haven't been on XCOM 2 for a while and currently do not antipicate getting back on for a while. If I do patch it, it won't be soon.

I am using Diversity by force level, so must be that, can you patch in compatibility?

It was just discovered today by another user that if you are using the mod that multiplies pod sizes, these two mods may not work simultaneously - unless you check the option on that other mod that allows single-unit pods or boss pods to multiply

Well, if it's tier based I'm not seeing any followers, currently encountering tier 2 Assassin and she doesn't have anyone with her.

I think it is based on knowledge level, but not sure. The game has 4 different versions of each Chosen, this mod just adds enemies to the groups that spawn the Tier 2 Chosen and higher.

Wait, they suppose to appear with 'Knowledge Level'?
I thought it was their tier after training, brb then to confirm.

Another user reported this recently as well. There may be a conflict with another mod. I haven't done any updates.

I'm not experiencing any entourage joining the chosen what so ever.

I see. No, there is not a new random trait. Normally whenever the game is choosing enemies to spawn on the mission, it uses a "Distribution List" that is a list of all possible enemies that can appear randomly and what the % chance to appear is. Well, normally when a Chosen appears, the game uses the same process, but it chooses from a different list that contains only that single Chosen. This mod changes the list so that when Chosen appear, they can bring followers. It is an edit to the base-game functionality and does not add any new abilities to the Chosen.

Sorry, I do not understand the question

The Chosen do not bring followers in the early-game, they have to level-up to Rank 2 in Chosen Knowledge before minions appear.

I am not sure, I don't know those mods or what they change.

Yes, anytime a Chosen appears, it takes effect.

No they are vanilla enemies, but feel free to take what's there and make it better.

@Alex Nares are these taken from the vanilla enemies, or do they have unique unit ID's? Reason I ask if these have their own ID, then they could be customized to look unique, more akin the chosen themselves.

Sure just tell me what you are looking for and I'll see what I can do.

Hey Alex, would you be up to creating another custom mod? It's should be simple, it's just rearranging some skills.
I'll send you a friend request. Feel free to ignore it (or accept it, call me a ADVENT loving alien collaberator, and then ban me.)

Huh. Then some of my mods wires got crossed... Thanks for answering!

That sounds like the Hunter's in-game ability to summon reinforcements. I am not sure how he was able to do that without having the ability. This mod should make it so that - in addition to that - he brings some more enemies when he teleports in for the first time per mission. It does not change any abilities.

Well he didnt have the Advent General perk, I think that's usually needed...

@Alex Nares, can you wiegh in here?

@GreenRaven dont think so, thats one of the ablities the chosen usualy have at tier 2. but i haven't tested it nor did i make the mod so dont what i said for granted

Just to make sure everythings working, when will these entourage units spawn? I just fought a hunter, level 2, and he summoned in 2 Troopers as soon as he saw me (but not when he originally teleported onto the stage.) Was that the entorouge?

Maybe the Hunter could have Chrysallids... his hunting hounds.

That's a good idea

I would have it closer to how they are in canon(Which I did hours ago). The Assassin would have melee/savage units, The Hunter would only get machines(due to hunting Advent forces) and the Warlock spawns with psionic enemies. Though minus Sectopods and Gatekeepers because boss pods would be annoying.

Though you would need Advent from the Workshop to make a full list of them.

Ah fantastic. Thanks for the reply, and for the mod.

Yes, the entourage is just additional regular enemies that spawn in with the Chosen and take their turn during the Chosen Action.

Curious, do these entourages stack with/work alongside the chosen traits to summon additional units?

Much appreciated, the Chosen appearing was the only reason I didn't want to use this

@SolarNougat
Right now only the default enemies are enabled, but you can add mod enemies in the INI.

@tngarcia
Yes it should work, although I haven't tested it.

I have the advent to empire mod will this work with it ?

Can modded enemies appear as entourages?

Thanks!
