[WOTC] Larger Enemy Pods

Description
This increases enemy squad size, intended to be used by players who prefer to play with XCOM squad sizes beyond 4-6. Or masochists?

For a more extreme version, see https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1125662915

Lost are changed in a different way: brutes will be more common, and higher HP variants are unlocked.

For an example, Gatecrasher is now set up as follows:
Rookie - 8 enemies
Veteran - 9 enemies
Commander - 9 enemies
Legend - 12 enemies

To increase your squad size, Robojumper's squad select is recommended. Grab the Mod Config Menu in its required items as well. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1122974240&searchtext=robojumper%27s

Recommended that you have an AI mod such as A Better AI to allow more enemy units to engage XCOM. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1123669369

This mod is turning out to be a bad idea when combined with Advent to Tau and Dynamic Pod Activation. Talk about getting overwhelmed, yeesh. This isn't a complaint about this mod, it does exactly what it sets out to, and is great. I think I need to boost my squad size a bit more, though.

Makes the first few missions with Tutorial enabled nigh on impossible (specifically the mission after you recover the power converter.) if you don't also increase your own squad size from the get go. Get boiled by RNG once in a mission and you may as well evac.

HAHHAHA YES FINALLY A WORTHY COMBATANT AGAINST MY 18 OCs. Going in with legendary ironman mode with this, double the pod count, and double the enemy spawn. My PC will love this.

I think I'm pretty decent at the game. Not amazing, but good enough to beat Legendary (no Ironman, some savescumming). This on Commander with a squad size of 6 is hard at first, but it still is easy in late game. This on Legendary with a squad size of 6 plus Jane Kelly as a starting Ranger, plus start with a faction soldier, has so far not resulted in too many squad wipes.

I love this because I hate myself

Its a good mod but be aware the increase is more like 40%-100%

Can you activate / deactivate this mod throughout your campaign?

First of all, thanks for the mod. It definitely gives me a reason to play this game a sixth time over again.

That being said, I noticed that the mod increases the two-enemy reinforcement pods on rescue missions in underground sewer levels to four or five enemies each. So definitely more than the 25-50%. Is that intentional and if not, fixable? Because one gets one or two of these enemy drops per round at the end of that mission type. Which makes the fight at the end much tougher than your mod's changes to other missions.

This mode makes the 5 archon squad come out. I think it's a bad balance

Okay, not bad, but game takes too long, ended up fighting 88 enemies in one battle.
