    [v1.09/X:CE v0.31] X - DIVISION - Destiny Denied v0.98+

    Posted · Edited by Slimak81

    Funny situation happened. First time i met androids i guess the first tier (all green). All my X division team is firing at him with no damage . It fires back also no harm to me. All my team could not penetrate it's armour , it does same. So there were around 10 rounds till i start making damage and slightly reduce it's HP). Then i look at it's weapon stats- matergy rifle with armor piercing 5. But ... even the low tier jackal armor has Resistance kinetic=35 . That means that this weapons is total useless against player .

    Second. I did the first tank sheridan.. sorry defender (well it looks like sheridan) i played around 10 missions using it as a main recon a pushing force. And during all this 10 missions not any allien could even got it minus 1 hp at least. 90 frontal armour . 600 HP. That looks invulnarable at stage one gameplay.

    Cant even imagine what may kill this tank)

    The AI is not so simple. It does not see through walls at all but got "senses". They can guess where you are from your movement, sounds, firing, killed aliens positions.. It's like a player to be honest. When you see a shot fired, you can guess an alien position. AI is complex and nobody got a pure evil AI yet even XCE coders. There is some hardcoded things too at calculations.

    I 99.99% sure AI see all map in Xenophobia mod . It uses CE 0.25 pretty old. And there is some sort of script that reveals map for AI.

    Cause it never do mistakes , it saves turns why I am close and on attack , it even see when my soldier out of moves or shield unit turned to incorrect direction. It sees all ambushes of my souldiers and so on and so on. I scanned all possible scripts and game settings to find this out and remove but failed to succeed . I guess it's hardcoded in exe . When playing yours mod i see the AI uses sensors and plays fair. So i suppose newer CE versions disabled that cheat

    As for your AI, if u wanna make them agressive u should increase AlliedLOS and decrease Sight for

    assaulting units. If one of them see enemy they will try to kill it with neaby units uning less cover and ambushes

    I downloaded 0.99 , damn lots of weapons , even tones. I understand now how you classify weapons - mk1 mk2 and so on. Well this is logical . I never tried other mods except Xenophobia and yours . You just have a different approach.

    I am playing Iron man cause it's funny to die ) but sometimes i do saves (backuping quiqsave files )and never faced a situation when my saves did not work or break.

    I will check out Aiprops to force AI act more aggressive as i used to fight against nightmare cheating AI from Xenophobia.

    Btw do you know where AI seeing through walls could be switched off?

    Congrats with birth of a daughter , man.

    I played your mod after Xenaphobia by And_Great. I play hardcore mode with no saves and almost won the game.

    And i am very looking for the alpha 0.99 became functional beta with researches and so on.

    Here some impressions.

    Almost 70% of aliens are around or in UFO's. AI is overall passive. No it's not bad just a little bit passive/defensive. I guess this is not a cheating AI that see through walls and this is good.

    Weapon ranges: Again i used to play gamestile where first tier ballistic weapon range is around 16 titles or more. On my opinion weapon ranges should be increased a little bit.

    Alien spicies and they unique weapons look very great. Also i like new planes u added especially bombers and mig 25 ) Please add more realistic airplanes of all kinds range from early migs up to F-22 Su-30 Su-34 Su-35 and Pak FA . More Russian planes ))

    Conserning weapons for humans . Why would not u add all ballistic weapons from Xenaphobia ? There is a lot of cool stuff there like

    G11, Magnum Heavy assault rifle, Zephyr ,Enforcer , Korhand HMG and so on. That mod seems to be dead and i think no one would be angry if u borrow all ballisic weapons from there.

    Anyway i am almost closed in accomplishing Xenaphobia on Iron man (no saves ) and will be playing your mod heavily.

    Keep it up on develepment.

    Sorry for my English , im Russian.
