I really like the added activity in Very Hard difficulty, but don't like how it turns bad guys into bullet sponges and your shields into paper. Since we can't modify the penalties directly, I opted to approach the problem from a different direction.

What this actually does is increases the amount of damage the Skunk's weapons do and the amount of damage that the Skunk's shields can take. Will probably make any difficulty levels less than Very Hard less than fun, but if you like playing at Easy with what amounts to god mode, that's your call.

What's New:

1.March 2016

Added two new files to Optional Files.

diffhack_shld_0.01 - Increases just shield strength. When at Very Hard, you'll be taking the same damage as at Normal difficulty.
diffhack_weap_0.01 - Increases just weapon strength. When at Very Hard, you'll be doing the same damage as at Normal difficulty.

You could install just one or just the other. If you want both, might as well get the main file.

The shield modification will likely conflict with mods that modify the Skunk's shields or those that alter the Skunk's boost. Which mod changes those files will depend on load order. Shouldn't result in anything untoward.
