[Tactical Enemy Role Settings]

;******************************************************************************************************************************
; These settings allow enemy soldiers to gain certain abilities that will allow them to play a number of roles and make combat harder.
;******************************************************************************************************************************

; allow enemy roles, required for the following settings
ENEMYROLES = TRUE

; If player mercs observe enemy soldiers, they can uncover their role once they have been seen a least this many turns.
; The following roles will be indicated by small icon next to the soldiers (can be toggled in the [CTRL] + [c] menu):
; - officers
; - medics
; - radio operators
; - snipers
; - mortarmen
ENEMYROLES_TURNSTOUNCOVER = 6

; allow AI medics for the enemy team. A soldier spawning with a first aid or med kit can become a doctor.
; AI doctors bandage their wounded comrades and perform surgery on them. They do so much faster than the player mercs.
; Requires ENEMYROLES to be TRUE.
ENEMY_MEDICS = TRUE

; As the AI will likely have a much higher consumption of medical supplies, you can reduce the med kit drain
; This allows the AI to heal more wounded before its medkits run out
; 0.1 means drain is only 10%. Default 0.1, values between 0.01 and 1.0.
ENEMY_MEDICS_MEDKITDRAINFACTOR = 0.1

; radius in which a medic searches for patients. Targets farer away are ignored. It is required that the medic sees the patient
; Default 20, values between 5 and 60.
ENEMY_MEDICS_SEARCHRAIUS = 20

; allow AI officers for the AI team. An officer is a soldier with the squadleader trait. There are two stages of this:
; a officer with squadleader trait is considered a lieutnant, an officer with squadleader(expert) is a captain.
; For now, a officer grants 2 boni to the entire enemy team present:
; - a bonus to suppression resistance
; - a percentage bonus to morale
; Important: Only the bonus of the highest officer present counts.
; Requires ENEMYROLES to be TRUE.
ENEMY_OFFICERS = TRUE

; for every officer, the enemy team needs at least this many soldiers total
ENEMY_OFFICERS_REQUIREDTEAMSIZE = 10

; maximum number of officers the enemy team may ever have
ENEMY_OFFICERS_MAX = 4

; The boni listed here are for lieutnant, they are doubled for captains.
; bonus to suppression resistance of the entire enemy team if officer is present. Default 10, values between 0 and 50.
ENEMY_OFFICERS_SUPPRESSION_RESISTANCE_BONUS = 10

; bonus to morale of the entire enemy team if officer is present. 0.1 means a 10% bonus. Default 0.1, values between 0.0 and 1.0.
ENEMY_OFFICERS_MORALE_MODIFIER = 0.1

P.S: "ENEMY_MEDICS_SEARCHRAIUS" is this a typo or intended?

• lowered default value for ENEMYROLES_TURNSTOUNCOVER to 4
• increased default value for NEMY_MEDICS_SEARCHRADIUS to 40
• new option: ENEMY_MEDICS_WOUND_MINAMOUNT controls how serious a wound must be before a medic considers it worthy of attention. This should prevent medic from risking their life to treat a 1 hp wound.
• new option: ENEMY_MEDICS_HEAL_SELF: medics can heal themselves.
• new option: ENEMY_OFFICERS_SURRENDERSTRENGTHBONUS adds a team surrender strength bonus for officers
• tanks cannot become medics, and can't be treated by them either :scan:
• Menubutton for Role symbol toggle is red if off and green if on. Before it was guesswork if nobody was yet uncovered.
• wounded soldiers seek medics, max range is ENEMY_MEDICS_SEARCHRADIUS / 2
• direct sight line between medic and target is no longer required. Might turn this back on later, lets see how this turns out.
• not directly from this feature: if hostile civilians allied to the army are in sector, their surrender strength is added to the enemy team. This solves the problem that one could press the army to surrender even if they were joined by a dozen angry rednecks with shotguns

And of course the commissars officers will shoot any and all retreating redshirts, no?

Awesome work, Flugente.

2. What about 'spotter' role (use binoculars for recon when more then 5-10 soldiers still alive and no direct threat to spotter)?

Wow, cool feature.

One thing that troubles me is that the officer in your demonstration video is running away from the medic that is trying to treat him...

• AI runs to medic... and then runs away again. I don't want to end their turn prematurely , as this might be a serious exploit: shoot the AI and watch them pile up at a medic.
• Potentially, the AI could stop combat once it is wounded and run to a medic. I've lowered the search radius for this, but this a potential source of odd AI behavior.

I love this

Especially the officers are a nice addition. Maybe add sergeants too?

Wow! Very nice Addon! Thanks again Flug!!

Does this Feature include Medics among the Militia as well? And will they care for woundet Mercs?

Well... that works rather well, actually. :moosegrin:

The icons were made by me, thus the meagre quality If someone supplies better ones, we can use those *looks in smeagol's general direction* :venus:

Huh? I did show you the icons I made, didn't I?

• 1: merc gear is always better suited to the combat (unless the player fucks it up himself) than the enemies.
• 2: If the player observes 1 to be false, he can grab enemy gear, and then 1 is true again
