;;;Some notes from Nemo Jr.: ;;Keep in mind that this mod can affect how the AI behaves, especially if you make some of these stats too low. ; e.g. Those 1 HP Mutons will be even more likely to use their grenades now, instead of just shooting ; (because their aim will be crap when heavily wounded). Whether this is a good thing or bad, you decide. ;;I "disabled" some of these settings by giving them a flat 0 penalty, but still left them in place for completeness' sake. ; Also because I didn't want to constantly fiddle with the index numbers. Let me know if this causes weird behavior, ; like showing a "Flanking Aim +0" in the shot HUD or something. ;;Remember: SevereEffect basically means "HE DEAD". If you think a value is too high or too low, consider a more likely scenario. ; e.g. SevereEffect=0.60 means the stat will be multiplied by 0.8 when 50% of HP is lost, or by 0.9 when 1/4 of HP is lost, etc. ;;;My custom config ;;Might change this in the future; needs testing. Certain enemies should probably be made immune to red fog, especially if you reduce this further. StatList[0]=eStat_Mobility SevereEffect[0]=0.50 bPercentage[0]=true ;;Changed from 0.6 to 0.5 so it's a tiny bit harsher than default. With NumBreakPoints=20 it should be a nice round 5% decrease for every ~10% HP lost. StatList[1]=eStat_Offense SevereEffect[1]=0.50 bPercentage[1]=true ;;Only affects enemies, since XCOM units don't have intrinsic crit chance. Most enemies have 10. Some have 15. Only Avatars on Commander & Legend have 20. ; Set to a flat decrease because I do NOT enjoy lucky "goodbye crits" from "almost dead RandomTrooper#259". Your mileage may vary. StatList[2]=eStat_CritChance SevereEffect[2]=-20 bPercentage[2]=false ;;All units in the vanilla game have eStat_FlankingAimBonus=0 by default. Not sure if it's functional. Might be useful for mods. StatList[3]=eStat_FlankingAimBonus SevereEffect[3]=0 bPercentage[3]=false ;;Practically anyone with a gun has 40 on Commander & Legend. You may want to set the effect to 1.00 (or 0 and false) if you're using EU Aim Rolls. ; I use that, but I decided to nerf this anyway. Precision shooting while wounded being hard and all that (most people DO got time to bleed). StatList[4]=eStat_FlankingCritChance SevereEffect[4]=0.50 bPercentage[4]=true ;;To simulate decreased tactical awareness & maneuverability. Again, only affects (some) enemies, but it's not as OP as it looks. It's only KOP: Kind of OP. ; Example: With 0.40 effect, at half health, an enemy with 40 defense (closed Gatekeeper) will instead have 28. 25 (Archon) becomes 17.5. 10 (Muton) becomes 7. ; ~15 to ~30 innate defense is still nothing to sneeze at. StatList[5]=eStat_Defense SevereEffect[5]=0.40 bPercentage[5]=true ;;Same deal as above, but I'm guessing this will also affect soldiers with Agility PCS. Needs testing. StatList[6]=eStat_Dodge SevereEffect[6]=0.40 bPercentage[6]=true ;;Something something concentration. If you set it too low, enemies who heavily rely on psionics may become a cakewalk, so beware. StatList[7]=eStat_PsiOffense SevereEffect[7]=0.60 bPercentage[7]=true ;;This one you should also handle with care, especially if you have mods / edits that make panic more common or more dangerous, ; in which case "chain panic" scenarios could easily spiral out of control. StatList[8]=eStat_Will SevereEffect[8]=0.60 bPercentage[8]=true ;;Make sure to keep this one as a percentage, lest you run into any "unwinnable" situations (you can't hack at all with zero hacking stat; this includes objectives). StatList[9]=eStat_Hacking SevereEffect[9]=0.60 bPercentage[9]=true ;;If you think this doesn't make sense for Skulljack / Skullmine targets, think again! ... Or you can just change it. I'm not your mom. ; Mechanically speaking, there aren't a lot of ways to increase hack success for Skullmining, so this should fill that gap nicely. StatList[10]=eStat_HackDefense SevereEffect[10]=0.60 bPercentage[10]=true ;;Think of this as how "sneaky" the unit is. It's already a multiplier (see the formula at the bottom of your config file) so I made the penalty a flat value. ; For reference: -0.2 should result in 1 or 2 extra enemy detection range in most cases, with the switch happening around ~42% and ~83% HP lost. ; It will either go [0, 1, 2] or [1, 2, 3]. Depends on rounding behavior (up or down?) so I'm not sure. StatList[11]=eStat_DetectionModifier SevereEffect[11]=-0.2 bPercentage[11]=false ;;Sectoids and Sectopods have 15. Avatars 11. Turrets 10. XCOM soldiers & militia 9. Civilians 3. Everyone else has 12. ; (The above calculations and assumptions (for eStat_DetectionModifier) were based on this 12 value.) StatList[12]=eStat_DetectionRadius SevereEffect[12]=0.60 bPercentage[12]=true ;;Can be useful (?) with certain mods where sound range is more important. How much does it matter in vanilla, anyhow? ; Gave it a standard modifier, just in case. Unlikely to break anything, and 0.6 sounds about right (puns). StatList[13]=eStat_HearingRadius SevereEffect[13]=0.60 bPercentage[13]=true ;;Can potentially mess with stuff like pod activation... maybe even become an advantage? Like getting closer to pods, half blind, then seeing ; (thus activating) them at CLOSE RANGE?(tm) Come to think of it, this may not be the smartest exploit in the book. Still, disabled by default. StatList[14]=eStat_SightRadius SevereEffect[14]=0 bPercentage[14]=false ;;Stun Lancer OP nerf pls. Should also affect other melee abilities with disabling effects, like Muton bayonet attack / counterattack. ; Should also apply to XCOM, making them more susceptible to these effects. ; It may look like a huge malus, but remember we're nerfing units who are already damaged. Dead men tell no tales. And now, thanks to RedDobe, ; half-dead Stun Lancers who just ate half a squad's worth of reaction fire can't casually walk up to someone and punk them silly. ; Or maybe they can, idk.
