Shieldbearers use smoke grenades (Long War 2 Compatible)

Description
Advent Shieldbearers Throw Smoke Grenades
=========================================

This is fully compatible with long war 2 (they seem to make no shieldbearer changes at all!).
I thought it was kindof silly that all but xcom had lost the mystic art of creating smoke, so now they can.
Advent m2 shieldbearers have a single smoke grenade, Advent m3 shieldbearers get a smoke bomb.

This should also make them more desirable for mindstealing.

TODO: I think I may need to adjust the way the AI gets targets - but I can fix that a little later

Is it possible to give ADVENT multiple grenade types so we can enjoy the chaos of ADVENT's inability to tell which grenade to use?

Ah well, that's unfortunate, thanks for responding though.

It really would. Unfortunately, smoke grenades and other grenades aren't differentiated within the ai code for xcom, and I think it would end up with officers throwing frags at allies or throwing smoke at xcom.

It might be neat if there was some sort of "smog" grenade counterpart for smoke, that reduced the accuracy of everyone within it, and prevented grenade throwing.

I'd like to see this applied to advent officers too, as I think that makes sense.

Even more brutal with the smokebomb concealment mod!

Long war already gives flashbangs to advent units (at least in early game), and I wouldn't really want to mess that balance up too much.

how about flashbangs on stun lancers?

I wasn't sure of another unit to use. If you have any suggestions, I'm all for it.
