Increased Enemy Squad Size

This is Mod is almost definitely outdated and superseded, probably not suited for WotC. Use at own risk.

Increases enemy pod size by mostly one, rarely two units for a bigger and better experience.

This Mod does not increase the number of pods, mind you but all changes are subject to change.

A Plus Version has been released for those who want more than merely one new enemy per pod for smaller squads: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=625780621

As example, on the first mandatory (not tutorial) mission, Operation Gatecrasher (Place X4), one will encounter on the Rookie difficulty 5 enemies in vanilla, 4 troopers and 1 Officer in 2 pods. This is increased to 7 in total with having one more trooper in each pod. On Legend one will be as such able to encounter 11 enemies in the first mission since there are already three pods.

This Mod Version does not contain any other changes (and the Nexus Version only offers them as optional files). Only the pod size is increased along with the AI fix to allow more enemies to engage you on the lower three difficulty levels (Instead of 4; 6; 6 it is 6; 8 ;8, Legend allows an infite number of enemies to engage you already). Engage merely means that they will not just move twice, hunker down or go on Overwatch.

The AI change may conflict with other Mods that attempt to remove or modify said limit and I suggest you to simply remove the XComAI.ini from my Mod (should be in \steamapps\workshop\content\268500\619302232\Config) which should not be restored until I update this Mod which may be never again (otherwise please delete it simply again but I will try to avoid updating this Mod unless it is really necessary).

Aim of this and and my other Mods is to turn XCOM up to thirteen while retaining, at least my own, sense for how everything should be balanced for a bigger, better and still enjoyable experience. Hence why I also have some more minor adjustments to the .inis posted on the Nexus site of this Mod, which increase the Loot per Mission by 1, All Grenade Radius by 1 and a more defensive AI.

I have also a Mod in the pipeline which increases damage, health+regen and armor tenfold to allow more fine tuning but I am currently missing the Damage from Burning, Acid, Environmental Explosions and Exploding Enemies. Also the PlusOne (Damage) chance is bothering me since it is not always 50% and making it PlusTen to work with the original balance, like Frag Grenades dealing 4 instead of only 3 damage is 20%, not that it'd be better for the damage there to gradually fall off.
