Re: [MAIN] XPiratez - N9 1-Jul-2024 Second Coming

You also misunderstand. It's not a bug, it's a feature that's deliberately coded into the game.

Piratez is also affected:

You won't get more than one of the first without expanding 'regionWeights', and no more than one of the second without making a new deployment or some other way to bypass it.

Why camp this door, though? It doesn't seem like a good tactic.

Normally I do it like this:
- gather a few people near the door;
- next turn, shoot whoever can be seen inside;
- next turn, storm the building and cut down anyone who opposes within (usually takes 2 turns).

It works pretty much every time and I don't lose people, unless something goes really wrong. Camping sounds to me like giving away the initiative for no tangible benefit.

I admit it's not my favourite mission, though.

I want to change the game, focus on assault the alien base and not on defending our bases.
1) What and where to edit to increase the chance of an enemy base spawning. What exactly is responsible for ninja bases, academies, etc.
2) How to reduce the risk of assault my base.
