Pod scampering question (alien positioning)
Posted: Thu May 18, 2017 11:58 pm
Hi
Something that I noticed in lw2 is that aliens seem to prioritise higher cover values (whats perfectly normal and understandable), but no so much the direction of the cover. What I mean is that I see aliens positioning themselves in high cover but in ways that they can easily get flanked in the next turn (by visible XCOM soldiers, not even squadsight soldiers), instead of taking cover directly against XCOM. I'd like to know if that is a .ini config value issue and if there's a way to alter it, cuz I feel that some mods pre-LW2 that messed with improved AI (ABA, for instance) fixed this problem in many occasions, but it might still be just a paranoia of mine, I won't deny it
(I'll also understand if I didn't make myself clear with my explanation, it might be confusing
)
