Requires a legitimate Steam installation of ACVI App Ver. 71/Regulation Ver. 1.07.2
Other copies and versions are not supported.
Not compatible with most other mods.

This mod adds 60 new opponents to the singleplayer arena, each designed and written by a different player from the community.
The new fights unlock as soon as the arena itself does in the latter half of Chapter 1, and can be found in additional tabs in the arena menu.
In terms of difficulty, they're about on par with the vanilla fights; I recommend putting away the Zimmermans for the sake of your own enjoyment, but I'm not your mom (yet), so do whatever you want.

Instructions

To play:

• Extract the entire mod folder wherever you want
• Make sure Steam is running
• Run launch-mod.bat from the mod folder
  

Mod Engine is included and preconfigured to run the mod with an alternate save file, so it won't interfere with your ability to play online when launching the game normally.
If you need to manually manage your save for the mod, you can find it by following the shortcut included with the mod, or navigate to %appdata%\ArmoredCore6\<Your Steam ID>.
The mod's save file is named AC60000.aex. As a safety precaution, your main save file is also copied to AC60000-pre-arena-ex.sl2 the first time you run the mod, in case you need to restore it.

Known Issues

- The AI is pretty weird sometimes!
Sorry, this was very difficult and time-consuming to get right with contemporary tools and I am now lazy.

- There's no voice-acting!
Sorry, sound modding wasn't possible at the time and I am currently lazy.

- Some of the combatant profiles run into the reward text on non-English languages!
Sorry, the font sizes are different and I am, at the moment, lazy.

- My character isn't in the mod!
Sorry, I loved them too but sacrifices had to be made. They will live on forever in my heart.
