@LeyShade sounds good! As for DMs, easiest to reach me would be on Discord (going by Gazgemauch) or Steam. Any of you or your team are free to add me on either

Following, @ReshiKillim is likely the most go to person as we do proof editing of their work, and her work is the foundation that our entire X2 project is grown from, and is likely the first example we will draw from to make AI for you.

@Gazgemauch - Apologies, it can sometimes take us time to get back to people.

We can manually write the enemy AI's for you if you tell us what type of units within X2 you want them to mimic. We can't work as fast as others because of our wavering health and team's IRL commitments, but happy to contribute to the awesome looking work you've done.

Drop us a direct DM and we can keep you posted and check in if we need any clarifications. We also second @Mac Dog64, as our own team has worked with all of those users on and off, with some of our works directly coming from theirs.

Azmodan and Zagara join the fight. LoL. THis is so cool.

Thanks, appreciate the reply.

@GUA not sure if there's a way to have the proving ground projects show up mid-campaign, so most likely requires a fresh campaign
GUA 6 Jan @ 6:31pm 
Quick question. Do we need a fresh campaign? How do I acquire the proving grounds options for them?

@Gazgemauch: Here's the link to the main discord on steam, I'm not sure if there are others outside steam (probably is) but this gets a lot of traffic which is good:)

@Mac Dog64 is that on the XCOM 2 Modding discord? If so, can you ping me in the advertisement so I can keep up with it myself?
Mac Dog64 6 Jan @ 2:02pm 
@Gazgemauch: Hi, I've made you a short list of the current God tier mod creators for the game that could help you. Currently ReshiKillim is crushing it with incredible enemies with unique AI. She can help you if possible along with the others, hope this helps, this could be the start of something great:)

I'll advertise on the main Xcom mod discussion page on your behalf to gather more of the fellowship.

@LeyShade any help on building AI for it would be appreciated, if you or someone you know would be willing to help make AI for these characters, by all means, tell me who to reach out to on the Discord, then I can try to make some enemy variants for these mods, as I do feel like I'd have some good plans for them but programming AI is a little too intimidating for me to attempt it on my own
LeyShade 5 Jan @ 6:34pm 
All we see is Chrysallid Hive.

If you need AI help, we can either functionally do it for you with extensive time, go over your work for you with less time, or you could read this article on how to build it from scratch and have the community go over it.

Users such as RedDobe, ReshiKillim, Tedster, RustyDios, FearTheBunnies and Dragonlord are also well versed in AI and how to program them and frequent Discord, so they may also be able to guide you.

So what are you doing next? Hopfully Orcs so I can use the Shadow of War/Warhammer Voicepacks with them
Mac Dog64 5 Jan @ 12:57pm 
@Gazgemauch: Wow enemies seem to fit perfectly in this game haha, if you have more ideas to import more wow enemies like this, go for it.
Arkenor 5 Jan @ 6:55am 
@Gazgemauch I hope it happens at some point!
Gazgemauch  [author] 5 Jan @ 2:51am 
@Arkenor perhaps someday, but currently unplanned, as I have no idea how to program enemy AI into the units, as they have way too many abilities to work with, so I would require help with it from other modders

@LeoArcticaa it would be possible for me to add more WoW characters, although it'd partially depend on the specific units, as some of them, for example two I attempted, Pit Lords and Aqir Goliaths, ended up having really broken animations once I ripped them
LeoArcticaa 5 Jan @ 2:23am 
LOL even wow found a way into Xcom :P you think you can add more from wow?

Like Naga to make my viper / argonian / anthro / army even bigger XD

Anyway awesome work.
Arkenor 5 Jan @ 12:41am 
This stuff is great, but I don't think I want them on my team. Are there any plans to make a faction nod for the Black Empire?
Gazgemauch  [author] 4 Jan @ 11:12pm 
@Dragon32 They are from World of Warcraft
Dragon32 4 Jan @ 6:26pm 
What game are these from?
