Hives Expanded - Southern hive assault nerf

This mod reduces the strength of the assault from the southern hive while using Hives Expanded mod. It does not change regular npcs or the number of enemies.

The main changes are as follow:

• Praetorian races: Reduced health and blood 33%
  
• Stats of npcs over 80s have been reduced
  
• 10% reduction for higher stats, 5 points or less reduction for 70-80 stats
  
• No npc has any stat over 95
  
• Serrated Greatsword: Slight reduction to cutting damage, armor penetration and range, reduced damage 20% against robots (still does more damage than any vanilla weapon)
  
• Minor changes to other 2 weapons
  
• Hive Leg Plates coverage reduced to 90

That is all.

Requires new game or import for the new stats to apply.

Do you need this mod?
If you haven't played through this raid you may wonder if is that bad. To put it short, the strength of this raid far surpasses anything in the vanilla game. The problem is a compound effect: Generally, the mod makes southern hivers stronger, and gives them a very good armour. Multiply it by the number of enemies, and it's already a challenge. Now add two praetorians, several generals with over 80 stats and the best gear available, now add the praetorian leader, who has over 100 stats with 140 strength, and a heavy weapon that outdamages Cat-Lon's Falling Sun with a ton of cutting damage and the reach of a plank. Remember that praetorians have 3-4 times the health of regular humans. So if you feel this is too much for your game, then add this mod.
