How to remove bonus damage altogether?

@Noob Train thank you!

There is an updated and much better version of the mod called "[WOTC] Cant Execute These Enemies". I also recommend the mod "[WOTC] Cannot Crit These Units".

These two mods make the powerful enemies in the game immune to execute and crits.

I'll do you one better: Over a year and a half later

"Very soon" almost half a year later...

I'm updating this very soon. For those that want it.

Love to see this updated for the rulers and chosen. JS

Anybody tried it with WotC yet?

Do you mind if me asking if this works with WotC?

Wait... you are telling me that in vanila Xcom 2, they are not immune alread?!
Pfft! AHAHAHA!!! WOW! That is amazing what an oversight that was on the developers! XD

@Nitewolf: LW2 doesn't have repeaters. No execution in the first place.

How do I change the upgrade descriptions to correctly state that they increase damage?

I had the Berserker Queen get executed at full health here the other day. Pretty funny, but I did feel like it was cheating somehow.

Compatibility with LW2?

I thought it was hilarious when the Berserker queen died on the first hit.

I didn't know the bonus damages are guaranteed, I was expecting them to proc depending on the repeater chance. Now I have to balance the bonus damage without being too weak or overpowered for each difficulty.

This is sick-sick COOL!

I didn't realize at first how necessary this mod is, until I excecuted the Berserker queen and three Chryssalid hive queens in pretty much back to back missions. Thanks for this!

Thanks for this! Any chance we can get a mod to give legendary health values to rulers on other difficulties? First time I did ruler missions was on legendary and they were terrifying, because of mod issues my next run was on commander and its quite a bit of health difference to the rulers, making them fairly weak.

THANK YOU SO MUCH M8!

@andbruu You can already change the bonus damage from repeaters.

@GrimyBunyip
Could you add ini to change repeater chance and bonus damage? IMO a 5% chance for a +1 damage would rarely be worth it. Would like it to be +2 damage regardless of tier, and the 5% chance per tier. Could also see it work with +1 damage per tier with a flat 20% chance.

@GrimyBunyip
Well that was fast. Thanks!

@CWRules
sure thing

Can you add an option to just make every enemy immune to execution? I hate the way repeaters work in vanilla, and I want to replace the normal effect with the chance of extra damage from this mod. But I have a lot of mods that add more enemies, so adding them all as immune one by one would take a while.

I'd deeply recommend this mod - Execute is something you never expect to happen, and then it happened on the first time I encountered the Archon King on Legend. I'd only removed 2 of his utterly insane amount of health, only for one measly Squaddie (named Wizard, ironically) to Execute him. I wouldn't have won that op if it wasn't for the execution, but wow what an anticlimax

@GrimyBunyip
Oh cool! I never saw that before since every other mod I installed had it in the description
Thanks for making me look up ^^
Learned something new today :-)

it's always in the URL of the mod page

What is the ini number so I can exclude avatars, gatekeepers, and sectopods too?

ive never had a repeater eecute anything ever even using superior ones :/

That's awesome! I just had my good nights sleep and now I wanted to check the mods, but that's great work from you.

Thank you!

alright, fixed now

@Scottsch
You're right, I derped

I put in:
var array<UPGRADE_DATA> UPGRADE_INFO;
instead of:
var config array<UPGRADE_DATA> UPGRADE_INFO;

=( sorry guys, i dun fucked up

My mod compilation works stable at the moment (Only using the suggested mods for LWT in the discussion), but if I activate your mod everything breaks... I will do some testing the next days to pinpoint the conflict in these mods.
But I shouldn't have any mod active which alters repeaters or any other item...

(My installation is fine)

@scottsch
Thats impossible, this mod alters repeaters at runtime, it doesnt mess with anything that could affect mod class overrides or screen listeners. And I am pretty sure LWTB doesn't also alter repeaters at run time too.

Either there is something wrong with your installation or you have another mod altering repeaters at run time.

as it turned out this mod doesn't work with the Long War Tools (and some other mods) and I value LWT more than not to execute the Rulers, but it would be awesome if I could get both!

@green raven
you should just remove them from your loot tables via INI edits you can do yourself.
if you want damage upgrades, my loot mod has those.

Can you make a mod that just changes repeaters, period. 1, 2, 3 damage, and thats that. I almost never use them becouse they are such high risk, this would make them much more appealing.

awesome! thanks for this mod!

Added the bonus damage feature as requested, feel free to turn it off if that isn't to your tastes.

Did they seriously not take that into account?

I second the idea of making repeater procs do a bit of damage to rulers instead of having no effect at all.

You're evil, aren't you? *checks Villains Database*

Nope, not yet.

That's a nice oversight there from the devs.

Sorry, I havent even started a campaign to encounter them, just get too hyped with mods when I see them, you guys add stuff we didnt even know we needed :P

@hybridon
yo dawg, calm ur shit, I still got other stuff to work on.

Even if its an optional complexity that can be turned on and off in an ini file? :p

I am torn, yes it anti-climactic but . . . . seeing one of the final bosses die to a execute was pretty sweet.

Ah, alright. Sorry for bothering you.

@podo1000
yes, but I'd rather not add more complexity at the current moment.
