Aggressive Wildlife - A Hostile Planet

Aliens are always hostile towards all players and will attack on sight.


______________________________________________

So, you're bored with friendly, passive aliens? Want them to really defend their territory? Want them to hunt down anything that comes too close? Well, this mod may be for you. Be aware that it's meant for higher difficulties, AI might have MASSIVE problems to progress (or even survive) on lower settings. Even on Apollo, AI might just get crushed if they spawn between 3 nests - and so may you. That's just what happens when you land on a hostile planet. This mod can make the game extremely hard if you spawn near a nest or two (or if you're reckless) - don't blame me for any frustration you might run into. 8)

So, what does it do? Well, at its core it changes the default stance that aliens take against human intruders to "I'll hunt you down and eat you alive" (aka "very hostile") . Easy as that. They also get extra vision-range, so they have an easier time finding things to mangle (currently disabled due to a bug that makes the interface disappear if you mod unit-promotions - firaxis need to fix this.). Taking over their parts of the planet, as well as defending against them if you're unlucky enough to spawn next to a nest of them is much harder now. Especially early on - or when the aliens suddenly start spawning stronger units. On top of that, Aliens will now destroy improvements and try to eat your workers.

A(n almost) full list of all the changes can be found in the discussion thread linked below.
