Suggested Enemy Groups
With the addition of overrides for tuning the NCE values for custom groups of enemies, I thought it might be helpful to post up groups for others to copy or adapt.

I currently have groups configured for:

Turrets
Drones
Medium robots (MECs, Sparks, etc.)
Big robots (sectopods, etc.)
Busted robots (andromedon shells)
Psionically-created enemies (psi-zombies, spectral enemies)
Lost
Chryssalids

I'm not running a ton of enemy mods, so I'm sure these categories will need to be expanded on or added to for some folks.

I considered creating groups for cybernetic enemies (andromedon, gatekeeper, archon, etc.) but ultimately decided I've already gone a little overboard on granular tuning with this and didn't do it. Other groups that might be worth doing would be psionic units and officers/generals.

The stat adjustments:
+GroupOverrides=(GroupName="AdvTurrets", Stats=( \\ (Stat=eStat_Offense, bPercentage=true, iPositive=10, iNegative=10), \\ (Stat=eStat_HP, bPercentage=true, iPositive=20, iNegative=20) \\

Another idea is to make groups for some force levels.

I needed to make a group for "early opponents - FL 1 and 2 especially. Else the randomization bit me hard.

+RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_Offense, bPercentage=true, iPositive=66, iNegative=50) +RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_HP, bPercentage=true, iPositive=100, iNegative=50) +RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_Mobility, bPercentage=true, iPositive=25, iNegative=25) +RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_Defense, bPercentage=false, iPositive=30, iNegative=30) +RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_Dodge, bPercentage=false, iPositive=30, iNegative=30) +RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_FlankingAimBonus, bPercentage=false, iPositive=10, iNegative=10) +RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_CritChance, bPercentage=false, iPositive=30, iNegative=30) +RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_FlankingCritChance, bPercentage=false, iPositive=30, iNegative=30) +RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_PsiOffense, bPercentage=false, iPositive=20, iNegative=20) +RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_Will, bPercentage=true, iPositive=100, iNegative=50) +RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_HackDefense, bPercentage=true, iPositive=100, iNegative=50) +RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_ArmorPiercing, bPercentage=false, iPositive=5, iNegative=0) +RandomizeStats=(Stat=eStat_ArmorMitigation, bPercentage=false, iPositive=2, iNegative=2)

I also made a group where ArmorMitigation of -2 - +2 is changed to ShieldHP 0 - 10. Mostly for enemies i feel doesn't feel like they should have armor, but instead should be Shielded, Priest is a prime example for me.

Another group i have where the Armor Mitigation is change to -25% - +300% Armor. For the allready heavily armored opponents.

It is great what you can do with groups if you have the time, i am just at the very beginning of adding opponents to certain groups

Also some interesting possibilities, making sparate groups for Frost Legion and Savages. Savages i added all Faceless and Berserkers so far, not sure if anything else fits in there

;Savages +GroupOverrides=(GroupName="Savage", Stats=( \\ (Stat=eStat_Offense, bPercentage=true, iPositive=25, iNegative=25), \\ (Stat=eStat_HP, bPercentage=true, iPositive=100, iNegative=33), \\ (Stat=eStat_Mobility, bPercentage=true, iPositive=35, iNegative=15), \\ (Stat=eStat_Defense, bPercentage=false, iPositive=20, iNegative=20), \\ (Stat=eStat_Dodge, bPercentage=false, iPositive=40, iNegative=30), \\ (Stat=eStat_ShieldHP, bPercentage=false, iPositive=20, iNegative=0), \\ (Stat=eStat_SightRadius, bPercentage=true, iPositive=20, iNegative=20), \\ (Stat=eStat_DetectionRadius, bPercentage=true, iPositive=20, iNegative=20), \\ (Stat=eStat_HearingRadius, bPercentage=true, iPositive=20, iNegative=20) \\ )) ;Frost Legion +GroupOverrides=(GroupName="ShieldM1", Stats=( \\ (Stat=eStat_Offense, bPercentage=true, iPositive=44, iNegative=44), \\ (Stat=eStat_HP, bPercentage=true, iPositive=10, iNegative=75), \\ (Stat=eStat_ShieldHP, bPercentage=true, iPositive=300, iNegative=0), \\ (Stat=eStat_Mobility, bPercentage=true, iPositive=25, iNegative=25), \\ (Stat=eStat_Defense, bPercentage=false, iPositive=10, iNegative=10), \\ (Stat=eStat_Dodge, bPercentage=false, iPositive=10, iNegative=10), \\ (Stat=eStat_FlankingAimBonus, bPercentage=false, iPositive=10, iNegative=10), \\ (Stat=eStat_CritChance, bPercentage=false, iPositive=30, iNegative=30), \\ (Stat=eStat_FlankingCritChance, bPercentage=false, iPositive=30, iNegative=30), \\ (Stat=eStat_PsiOffense, bPercentage=false, iPositive=20, iNegative=20), \\ (Stat=eStat_Will, bPercentage=true, iPositive=100, iNegative=50), \\ (Stat=eStat_HackDefense, bPercentage=true, iPositive=100, iNegative=50), \\ (Stat=eStat_ArmorPiercing, bPercentage=false, iPositive=1, iNegative=1), \\ (Stat=eStat_SightRadius, bPercentage=true, iPositive=10, iNegative=20), \\ (Stat=eStat_DetectionRadius, bPercentage=true, iPositive=10, iNegative=20), \\ (Stat=eStat_HearingRadius, bPercentage=true, iPositive=10, iNegative=20) \\ ))
