Lil Pet Shop of Horrors

This mod replaces the IDLE personality with "Aberration" pets. To use, add a Normal IDLE personality to your team in Skirmish. The AI then removes its Headquarters at match start, and gives a free pet with the purchase of specific units, next to the appropriate factory. The creature will follow its owner, and will remain where dropped if its owner dies. They cannot enter transports. Each pet AI can add up to 350 units. For each IDLE personality AI on a team, Non IDLE player units will receive that many pets. Here are the units which own each pet type:

Any Infantry = Xenodogs
Artillery = Floating Brains (which cloak your units)
Torpedo Boat/Cruiser = Water Elemental
Chain Tank/War Tank = Cyclops
Battleship / Submarine = Destroyer

NOTE:
- Can be used on ANY map, but since it requires Normal IDLE personality AI on a team a 1v1 would require a 4 player map.
- Pets and their corresponding units can be changed, but requires a new mod to be created.
- This mod will probably break the Tutorial, as it also uses the IDLE personality.
