@MantLemon DerBK's A Better AI implements a lot of changes like my own, and his is updated to WOTC, so, I'm going to keep mine vanilla to support anyone who hasn't yet grabbed it. Those who do can saunter over to DerBK's mod. There's a couple differences, for sure, mostly with how MEC's and melee units behave, but, nothing alien to you.

Hey, any chance you would update this mod for WOTC?

@Pink Floyd That's correct, there are zero content changes to the mod. It only uses tools and resources already present with enemies. There was an artifical limitation on the number of activated units that would fight you, which has been drastically changed to allow more hectic combat.

By this "More AI will fight you at once, depending on difficulty (Still unlimited on Legendary) " do you mean the mod adds more enemies, or more of them just attack you at once. Becuase I just want smarter Ai, not more enemies, that why I stopped using Better Advent 2. So this juste dits Ai right?

Ok thanks.

@Sawtooth27 Anything that changes the behavior of AI. So ABA, ABA2, Long War, and others, i'm sure.

I'm wayy too dumb to understand the changed ini files, so can anyone do me a favor for my rather limited sized brain and give me a quick list of notable mods that are incompatible? Maybe? Anyone?

Ah, alright, thank you for clarifying. ^^

@FateWeaver It is still possible for them to use Reanimate, but they heavily favor Mindspin as it often disables a unit, versus reanimating a new one that is destroyed if the Sectoid dies or is disoriented.

I agree with Conefed, this mod sounds really cool, but the reanimation ability I feel is a part of XCOM 2.

So Paradox Song, if you are reading this, I would really appreciate an optional version that still has reanimate, if at all possible.

Thanks in advance, if you decide to do that. Also your mod seems really cool. ^^

LW2 has similar functionalisty according to this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0KYKP0J-c9vcksxLXBTUkFzdE0/view

Raise your hand

ha

I don't think Reanimation is that terrible - in fact it should be used because this game introduced it in the lore.
- I think it would be neat if Sectoids spun-stun you to give themselves time to reanimate.
- fall back and then reanimate
- etc

Oh well, anyways thanks for getting back to me.

@Iamacewan No, me and DerBK have mutually exclusive changes to the AI of XCOM 2, which is unfortunate, but, Improved AI is for those who do not want to extensive mechanical changes of A Better Advent, but just the logic changes. Some of my changes may seem like mechanical ones, but they are simply priority changes that allow certain vanilla abilities to actually be used.

If there's a certain change of Improved AI that is not the same for the AI in A Better Advent I can talk to him about it, but we took diverging paths of brutality on purpose.

I know you say it works with LWS stuff but do you know it it works with A Better Advent also.

Thanks

"-Changed Panic AI to try not to die as much. Thanks, Real Panic mod by ADVENT for allowing me to incorporate the changes. "

Does this change the AI for XCOM units when your XCOM soldiers panic?

Thanks!

I started an actual campaign, starting a real mission, but since I doubt people did that, I would assume main menu is enough.

By launching you mod first, then turning LWS on, do you mean just launching the game to the menu or starting an actual campaign?

Your welcome!

This mod really spice up the game! Thank you!

Thanks for the answer. And for an amazing mod!

Just after installing, if it's still nessecary anymore.

The tweak to make it work with LWS - do you need to do it every time you run the game, or just after installing the mod?

@robojumper the SeqAct override file is empty, but thank you for the information.

@Paradox Song
Just so you know - an override to SeqAct_AIJobUpdate won't do anything since SeqActs are baked into the map files.

Thx, I just want more ennemy types to add diversity, not their full mod because it don t has compatibility with double enemies

Yes it is, but not the full SPECTRUM mod.

Is this mod compatible with Spectrum more enemies and double enemies?

Ah! thank you! No longer confused! Maybe add that up in the description! thanks again!

@Aquatica: Launch Improved AI with the LWS mods enabled. then launch again with the LWS mods disabled. Then enable them and Launch again.

@Paradox Song, took me quite a bit longer to test, but so far i didn't notice any outright stupid behaviour on AI's part in 1.47. Thank you again for the fix.

Requesting clarification, EXACTLY what do Ihave to do to make this work with long war mods?

@Sobakaa No problem.

@Paradox Song thx for such a quick response. I'll give it a try and report back in a couple of days.

@Sobakaa pushing out a simple change, let me know if you are still seeing inconsistencies outside the pre- Last Gift norm.

I'm experiencing strange inconsistencies with the AI after Shen's Last Gift DLC.
The most evident example was when two fully healthy Advent Troopers toggled Overwatch on their bonus after-reveal move. Despite the fact there was a half-dead ranger out of cover 2 tiles away from them. The rest of the squad were in half cover too (yeah, i'm bad at this).
Out of 5 missions of this campaign Sectoids never ever used their guns. Prior to this DLC they would snipe my dudes from impossible angles and distances.

Does anyone else experience a sudden idiocy of enemies?

@Cloudcat if you are experiencing incompatabilities, i'd like to hear them.

how about new shen dlc compatibity??

Wow, at last! Thanks!

@currahee150. I'll look into it tonight.

Perhaps I was not clear in my last post. The Sectoids no longer use mind spin unless they have already used psi resurrect. I have tested this without any other mods. This seemed to work before the update. Otherwise, everything else seems to be working quite well.

Thank you for the clarification. :D

Yeah, you might experience the occasional strangeness, but you shouldn't notice it unless your actively searching for it. Me and the guy at A Better Advent had to search to find any potential conflicts, even. Short answer: Yes Long Answer: Yes, since last time I talked to them. If anything is conflicting, tell me and i'll chat with them again. :)

Quick question, would this work with A Better Advent?

Sectoids seem to really like making psi zombies again.
