[WOTC] More Dark Events: Enemy Stat Boosts

Description
This mod adds 12 new Dark Events, each of which boosts specific stats for a group of enemies. I highly recommend using this mod with Grim Horizon active or using the config option to make these permanent to make sure they're more than a minor annoyance.

Dark Events:
  • ADVENT Advanced Conditioning: All ADVENT soldiers gain increased health and mobility.
  • ADVENT Advanced Combat Training: All ADVENT soldiers gain increased aim, crit and defense.

  • Advanced Mechatronics: All ADVENT robotic units gain increased health, armor and mobility.
  • Advanced Combat AI: All ADVENT robotic units gain increased aim, crit and defense.

  • Advanced Viper Genetics: All Vipers gain increased health and mobility.
  • Advanced Viper Combat Training: All Vipers gain increased aim, crit and defense.

  • Advanced Muton Genetics: All Mutons and Berserkers gain increased health and mobility.
  • Advanced Muton Combat Training: All Mutons and Berserkers gain increased aim, crit and defense.

  • Advanced Sectoid Genetics: All Sectoids gain increased health and mobility.
  • Advanced Sectoid Combat Training: All Sectoids gain increased aim, crit and defense.

  • Advanced Chryssalid Genetics: All Chryssalids gain increased health and mobility.
  • Advanced Chryssalid Combat Training: All Chryssalids gain increased aim, crit and defense.

All stat values can be configured and all Dark Events can be made permanent even without Grim Horizon in
XComDarkEventStats.ini
in
Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1714413550

Additional Dark Events will likely be added at a later point and the values are subject to change as I attempt to make these as balanced as possible.

If you want to report a bug or have suggestions on how to improve the balance of this mod, please use the appropriate discussion thread.

Compatibility:
This mod should now work with [WOTC] EU Aim Rolls.

The mod is highly compatible with mod-added enemies from your favourite mods, such as:

This mod is compatible with pretty much any other Dark Event-related mods, such as:

This mod should be safe to add and remove during a running campaign. No guarantees though.

Old bug, likely related to another mod using an old version of XMB

warning, at least the ADVENT advanced combat training event is completely broken and gives them 100% aim. Applies to MOCX too. I would recommend disabling the event or the whole mod outright.

I might cry after installing this one. Luckily, however, I am also a masochist.

damn these seem pretty brutal tbh, especially with grim horizon. Luckily, however, i am a masochist

Does this and the ability mod work with advent replacement mods like Advent to empire?

No, I've had to edit "Complex Red Fog" but RedDobe catered for users of "EU Aim Rolls" there.

Ah okay. Thanks. I'm going to have to start a new game then because they are both on. I think I saw some other ones that conflict with EU Aim Rolls, but can't recall which. My mods are now up to 669 :x

You haven't had any issues with the highlander conflict spoke about on the EU Aim Rolls page?

The Alternative Mod Launcher only shows one kind of conflict: mod class overrides.
Zero 4 Apr, 2021 @ 7:02pm 
I know this states it conflicts with EU Aim Rolls, but the alternative mod launcher doesn't show any conflicts. Is it still incompatible with it?

Awesome! I can't wait to cry when they show up under the effects of your Dark Events.
