Disable Ruler Reaction WOTC

Description
Removes the Alien Ruler Reaction mechanic and makes all rulers regular units with 3 Action Points.

-= ADJUSTMENTS =-
The Berserker Queen is now forbidden from moving and meleeing in the same action, so she cannot strike 3 times if she is away (Move, Strike, Strike).
Quake now costs 2 Action Points. This is because Quake allows movement before targeting.
Faithbreaker Cooldown is down to 2 to make it more menacing.
You can no longer Stasis rulers.

FrostBombing a ruler has no effect (the visuals will trigger, but no AP will be removed on their turn)

-= COMPATIBILITY =-
Replaces these 2 mods, so don't forget to unsub if you're using them already:

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=686468384
The main difference is that Moddable Ruler Turns is not WOTC certified and still makes the ruler react to taking damage.

-= SUGGESTED CHANGES =-
The rulers are somewhat easier now so feel free to use some difficulty mods.

Sounds like something that happened to me, but it was probably the Berserker Queen moving up, then hitting and quaking in the same move.

Met a ruler for the first time. Archon King. Oh boy, look at all that health. Neat. This will be a challenging fight.

Archon King swoops over, shoots missiles into the air. Target circles appear on all my soldiers. I move one soldier out of the way. Ruler Reaction, all the other missiles hit all my other soldiers. Two of them die. Closed game, came looking for this mod.

Thank you for this. That mechanic of there's is COMPLETE BS, and I straight up turned the DLC off for this reason alone. The rulers are powerful enough as is we really didn't need them getting a free turn everytime your squadmates so much as sneeze... in a turn-based game where positioning and planning is essential.

The mod definitely works, anyone who said this was a good mechanic is completely insane.

If you haven't played multiple thousands of hours and don't know every ruler spawn and patrol path you basically loose as soon as you encounter one because every time you move a unit it gets an action so unless you have "game sense" or use hacks to remove the fog of war you can't position your units to engage it and trying to bring them into range just results in their deaths because of the reaction spam.

Yeah, this doesn't work any more. Used to, and it was great. Have deleted and reloaded mod several times, tried different load order. Nada.

Agreed, the r/XCOM neckbeards always seems bootlick this feature whenever bought up in a discussion.

Great game, dog-shit feature.

thank you, this is the worst mechanic in the game imo.

Seems like I figured it out. I noticed that several of my mods weren't working so I just unsubbed and the resubbed to all of them (Including this one) And now they all work.
DrFreeman 12 Mar, 2023 @ 8:09am 
Yeah so I guess the mod just doesn't work at all for some reason. Oh well. Guess I'll live with that.

With this mod there is no such thing as a frozen ruler. Freezing a ruler will have no effect except to see the ice on him. He will act regularly on his turn at 3 Action Points.
