[WotC] ADVENT Unit Promotions

Description
This mod serves as an example of what can be done with my newest Random Loadout Manager. It allows ADVENT soldiers to occasionally spawn with better loadouts. Perfect if you want some extra challenge without introducing new units or messing with mission data. Roughly 57% of ADVENT units you encounter in the field are the same as always (only Purifiers are adjusted to smooth out the progression). The others get upgraded to either veterans or elites. Veteran units carry stronger primary weapons in addition to receiving small bonuses to stats. Elite units are the ones to really watch out for as they gain even stronger bonuses and are allowed to use alien technology.

Compatibility

The mod does not override any vanilla configs or classes, but requires another mod that overrides the latter. Check its description for details.

Supported languages: English, Russian.

@Anelorfin, unknown, but most likely no, since only vanilla advent units are supported

Nice LWOTC friendly?

You are welcome!

I gave Advent the possibility to spawn with some of the Mass Effect Weapons. Damn that's great and scary. Thanks for the Mod Nider001

Note: An important update got released which fixes promoted Purifiers spawning without any weapons. I also decided to improve base damage of non-promoted Purifiers to match the values of my Tactical Combat Overhaul while I was at it

Thanks

@VoidLight, the only thing my mod does is dynamically changing loadouts. Therefore, AI changes and such should not be affected. I see some relevant changes though such as addition of secondary weapon which may be replaced. I suggest going to my 'XComGameData.ini' file inside my mod's folder and deleting the following lines at the bottom (this will disable promotions for Purifiers):

+UnitsWithMultipleLoadouts="AdvPurifierM1"
+UnitsWithMultipleLoadouts="AdvPurifierM2"
+UnitsWithMultipleLoadouts="AdvPurifierM3"

Is the recent update compatible with: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1958853933&searchtext=purifier

The above mod has some amazing purifier changes that I wouldn't want to be replaced.

I hope Elite Advent drop Elite Items? :)

@Arkangel, yeah that would be very cool, Elite units show up with new weapons.
