I have played through to Drassen several times in my experimenting. Have always played NOVICE, as I am a novice at this game. Bad Guys have always been equipped with pistols as I have never played deep enough into the game to go to higher levels, yet.
Recently was able to get DBB 909 installed and patched to where I can use it and the XML Editor - thanks to Tbird. I had played a few days into the game several times with v1.13 & HAM 3.5 and was looking forward to playing with the new guns and LBE additions.
Went in last night to start a new game from the beginning - WOW new game!
First hint of trouble was when Buns was cut down by automatic weapons fire as she got off the helo.
OK, restart and hit the ground immediately. The three Bad Guys in Omerta were armed with a M3 SMG, a M1 Carbine and a MG 42 LMG! A FREAKING LMG! This hardly seems a novice game.
Next encounter I meet six BGs armed with AK-47s. Next encounter I'm told there are 4 BGs in sector. Well, I killed 8 and the last 2 killed my whole team. It ended with these two guys standing 3 tiles away and shooting my guys to death, with my guys having like -70 APs. Had they been able to return fire the BGs would have been toast, but I guess my guys were in shock from their wounds and just lay there bleeding as they were finished off over three turns.
OK, whine over.
Questions:
1) Is installing DBB 909c supposed to result in the BGs starting with high coolness level weapons?
2) Also, is it supposed to affect the numbers of BGs like this? Except for in Omerta, I'm seeing roughly double the number of BGs I've seen before.
or have I accidentally messed up some setting somewhere else?
Any advise would be appreciated. As it stands, I will need to recruit, and pay, a much larger contingent than I've even needed at the start. This is a much different game with no coolness gradation and a lot more BGs.

Thanks T-Bolt.
I DID adjust the imp and merc starting gear; although, not radically. I just gave myself (imp) and Buns a 9mm SMG and one sniper rifle. But I did give them very nice SMGs. I have done this before without a change in NPC weapondry, but before the nice weapons were of lower quality and not from DBB. Hmmm, and I think most if not all of the high powered NPC weapons I was dealing with in this last game were out of the DBB. Wonder if I tripped something by dipping into DBB for starting gear.
You have given me something to work with.
