Hi guys
Since I wasn't getting the alien nest mission, i forced it through the console.
When I met the snake king I killed it quite easily.
I noticed it didn't have the usual ruler behaviour (1 ruler action after each and every action I perform with my xcoms) but It took my flame dot damage between my xcoms' actions. Is it a bug?

In LW2 the rulers only have a chance of taking action after you take an action instead of guarantee to do that every time.

Didn't know that, this makes them incredibly easy to defeat. Any way to restore their behaviours to vanilla?
Or maybe giving them a chance of 50% of reacting after each of my actions?

Change 25 for the % you want, I think 100 will restore the vainilla behaviour

Just keep in mind that you might not have your anti-ruler tools in the squad that encounters them. While you were probably prepared for the nest mission, a squad might run into a ruler while they don't have any Frost Bomb, Bolt Caster or Hunter's Axe available, so 100% ruler reactions might be extremely punishable.

You're right, but rulers must be a thrill. Maybe 100% reaction is too much since LW2 is just so hard istself. I'll put it to a 50% I'd say

Is there a way to manually spawn one of the other rulers with console commands?
