There are some errors in the Max count and array entries in XComEncounters

Even when I have the sitrep these guys never show up on the map.

I don't really want them to show up with the Advent - is there a version where they're *just* raiders?

I got Combines only once and then never again. Did I fuck up something or it is because of More maps mod?

@LA MUERTE XComGameData.ini :
[Combine_Transhuman_RaiderFaction.X2Helpers_RaiderFaction]
ForceLevelForTierTwo=8
ForceLevelForTierThree=16
TierOnePodSize=3
TierTwoPodSize=4
TierThreePodSize=5

Question, where in the ini files do you edit the Combine Soldiers to make sure that more soldiers spawn in the mission? Think 12-18 soldiers to match against you and ADVENT.

I didn't find any combine soldier in my mission with ''Combine Intervention'' sitrep. I don't know why for it.

I'm hardly getting them in any missions at all, seem's pretty rare. =(

There is a duplicate mistake in the encounterlist Encounter_Combine_Normal_FL16 :
ForceSpawnTemplateNames[2]="CombineSoldierAR2", <---- this should be removed ForceSpawnTemplateNames[2]="CombineEliteAR2", <---- or this should be [3]

I think you could check around and eventually add the APF, the Ordinal, the Grunts and the Chargers from the HLA mods. You could even try to tweak things, idk if you know TheParryGod (check on YTB) but he made a combine "spikewall" which is basically a transition combine shotgunner, that could be cool to see. I like to do one by using tinted Elite Torso, tinted Charger legs, tinted APF arms, and tinted charger head

Well, I'm dumb. Figured out that the combine spawning on the alien team was because I had the OLD version of the mod still installed and enabled by accident. The other issues I listed in my previous post still apply.

(Before I say anything, I use Covert Infiltration. Idk if that messes with anything)
I've noticed a few things after playing for a bit:
- The combine spawn on the alien team, but will still spawn as raiders as well
- Strategic Spawning doesn't work for the combine
- as @RedDobe pointed out, this mod doesn't spawn a raider base with the Faction Base mod

@jat11241976 I had the same issue of the Combine showing up on the Advent team, it was on the very first opening mission. Was it also on your first mission? Clarifying that may help isolate the issue.

Cheers o7

@Circle of Psi I'l look if I can do something there.

@RedDobe Good to know, thanks! I'll fix it in the next patch :)

Hi Alistair Afton

Are you able to disable the cosmetics for X-COM, so they are only used for well the Combine, or will that break things?

Hi Alistair - This is isn't working with Raider faction bases, it is not creating the base, just FYI

@Darkswirl They should have if you also installed the Mod "Raider Faction Bases"

Do the combine have a base on the strategic layer?

Can't wait to see what other Factions you have planned~

@jat11241976 Ah, perfect. If it happens again, tell me and I'll look into it (maybe on Discord if you want). And you don't need to apologize :D

Ok I refreshed my configs, and it appears that the issue resolved itself. 2nd mission after the cimbine showed up as a separate Faction as it should have. Apologies!

No problem!

@jat11241976
That shouldn't happen. I'll look into it once I have the time. Thank you :)

Noticed an issue, unfortunately. During a mission the combine spawned on the Advent team. I am using mod that keeps Raiders on their own team, name escapes me atm.

Its all planned. Whether it gets realized depends on a number of factors including free time and financial support from KoFi and Patreon. But you can check out the Discord and maybe add those suggestions in the suggestions forum :)

Im guessing it'd be ambitious to make like, striders, or hunters?

great work, a new raider faction

@jat11241976 thank you :D

Never played Half Life myself, but this definitely looks interesting well done!

@John Banana The Fool Thanks I'm trying my best to give you all a cool experience :3

this is getting more awesome.
