Xeno Zoologist Monster Master

Description
"When earth was invaded it wasn't just aliens that were used against us. It was monsters with brutal methods. With help from Shen and Tygan some of our soldiers have managed to implant chips into these monsters skulls that allows for complete control of their undeveloped minds. This requires equipment that must be handled at all times with extreme caution lest the demons break free. Wielding only a holotargeter, their monstrous 'allies' slaughter at our command."

@Hunkules I'm addicted to that alliteration

Beastmaster is a more fitting name In my opinion, but cool mod nonetheless

@SUN-BEE It's been awhile but I believe if you go to XcomGameData_XenoZoologist.ini and remove
[XenoZoologist_MonsterMash.X2TemplateHelper_XZ]
+MutuallyExclusiveAbilities = (Abilities=(XZSpawnChryssalid, XZSpawnMuton))
+MutuallyExclusiveAbilities = (Abilities=(XZSpawnChryssalid, XZSpawnFaceless))
+MutuallyExclusiveAbilities = (Abilities=(XZSpawnFaceless, XZSpawnMuton))

and a way to pick abilities of the same rank you should be able to do what your asking. Do note this widely breaks the balance of the class.

Pre-Existing Characters may have to be rebuilt in order for the change to take affect on them.

This mod is awesome! However, I want to summon all 3 types of monsters, is there a way to modify the INI file or something?

@Jokerke A basic melee unit is a lost but once you get to the next tier you start summoning that paths unit.

What does "Summon one Basic Melee Unit" mean? What is summoned? A Stun Lancer?

Thanks a lot

@Sharknoms The super computer can be upgraded at the same techs that the gremlin can be upgraded. Those are the Advent Mech Autopsy for tier 2, and the Gatekeeper autopsy for tier 3.

Oh great =D
Mind telling me what research needs to be done for those?

@Sharknoms Aim scales with super computer weapon tier at tier 2 it's 75 by default and at tier 3 it's 80 aim. Also the faceless subtree begins with +10 aim by default. Without their master guidance (holotargeting) the monsters are going to be about as accurate as rookies.
