[Aux] OCP mod (Update May, 6th)

[new_civilian]

I was thinking of adding an (unrepairable) late-game version of these units. They would have the same building-requirements that the default Auxiliary units have. Their stats would increase, but if neutralized they would lose their upgrade and revert back to their not-upgraded corpse. Or maybe even into the living not-upgraded unit (during tactical game)? Not sure yet.

They will not receive a flying ability, I do not want to make them clones of the Mercenary Commandos. I want something truly unique, any ideas or suggestions?
What I want to keep is the ability to equip them.

Maybe a armor shell like church beastmasters?

[new_civilian]

Yes, something like that, good idea. Hmm, maybe a Loader Armour? Could need a Loader Armour to upgrade...
I have to take a closer look at the Beastmaster unit sprite.

Excellent Idea, legionof1.

I think I will give them some kind of energy shield/bubble, nothing fancy, just a small outline over the original graphics. The shield will somehow boost their stats and resistances. I am not sure how I can make that sound technically plausible, but that's a minor problem.

Just had a second idea: I will make them invisible/add a ghost armor. Their stats will not be changed, that way they stay balanced and they still have a use in the late-game.

The update is nearly done, only needs a bit more testing and tweaking.
Sadly I can not add the shield/spawn part, as the spawned unit automatically spawns as an enemy unit.

So:
The Upgrade will make the old unit invisible, slightly improve the stats, but remove the revivability. I think that is fair enough, given the fact that the unit can be equipped.

here some teaser pics

I will upload the file later this day. hf and thanks!

Important info: the Stealth armor was originally made by tollworkout, I merely edited those files. All credits belong to tollworkout.

Uploaded the mod and updated the first post. tollworkout's permission to use the Stealth Armor parts is still pending, btw, but I doubt that he/she has anything against me using the files, especially as i give full credits. Of course i will remove/replace them if i would not get the permission. That goes without saying.

[new_civilian]

Gee, many thanks, tollworkout!
