aiprops.xml
- Added armour values to armoured units and adjusted some HP values.
- Adjusted TU for Harridans upwards.
- Adjusted AI settings for Harridans so they don't try to fly to the top level at all times.
- Adjusted AI settings for Caesans to be more sneaky and stick together with allies more.
- Adjusted AI settings for Sebillians to be more afraid of fire.
- Adjusted AI settings for Androns to be more aggressive and seek out enemies when using the Defensive and Command scripts.
- Replaced all alien grenades and ammo cells with edited versions for the captureable alien weapons feature.
- Added the Creeper alien support race: Hulking insectoid creatures that spit toxic goo that creates toxic gas clouds on impact. Creepers explode upon death and the explosion creates toxic gas clouds. Creepers are resistant to chemical damage. It's the support race of the Harridans.
- Added the Orbian alien support race: Energy beings that causes spontanous combustion and has a secondary weapon that deals stun damage and high morale damage. Orbians come in 4 colours - Gold, Blue, Red and Purple. They share the same stats and attacks but each has a unique psionic attack (Fear, Paralyze, Berserk and Mind Control). Orbians are resistant to energy and chemical damage. It's the support race of the Wraiths.
- Added the Jellynoid alien support race: A very resilient slime being that slowly moves towards any humans. When they are 1 tile away from a human it will explode and spread its volatile contents in a small radius, causing instant death to every unit in the game and killing the Jellynoid in the process. Killing Jellynoids normally will not cause them to explode. Jellynoids spawn a volatile slime tile on death that is permanent and causes 10 incendiary damage when stepping on it. Jellynoids are resistant to chemical damage. It's the support race of Androns.
- Disabled keyprop aggression used during base attacks. It would only lead to aliens killing their allies/themselves. The destruction didn't actually affect your base afterwards as well.
