Are Black Lotus ninjas even more invisible now?
Having played this mod in the 1.8 days, the Black Lotus ninjas were quite dangerous, especially early game. Yet I could spot them from about 8 or 10 squares.
Now, having started a 2.3 game, they just slaughter me, not giving even a single chance of spotting them. Often one of my agents is killed in the middle of the group, and no one notices the ninja, even after I run them all around the body. Did I miss something, and are those ninjas not even more difficult to spot than they used to be? If so, is there a way to help my troops spot them easier? Is there a research, a stat, or a tool which helps against them?

Nope, I haven't done anything to Black Lotus peeps in years. Must be bad luck.
By the way, their standard visibility is only 4 tiles, and it was the same since... I think since they started using the camouflage mechanics, many years ago.

Hm, it might be luck then, I'll keep going. I don't remember the exact distances, so I might have been wrong about the 8-10 tiles, yet it was definitely easier to counter them back then.

One possibility is that you were using some anti-camo unit, most likely the small drone.
