Worthy Chaos

Description
Worthy Marines is an overhaul to AI behaviour for the Chaos Space Marines.

The Worthy Marines is the 11th published mod of the Worthy AI Collection, the final faction to have a Worthy mod.

The Worthy mods strive to improve AI performance without changing balance or mechanics. The mods provide the AI with a strategy for units and upgrades, nudges the econ decision making, and improves the AI's use of units' abilities.

For the Worthy Chaos, the AI also now takes advantage of Cultist Sacrifice.

The Worthy mods attempt to minimize additional visual clutter for non-AI players. These are relatively challenging mods to code, technically complex. If you come across an AI behaviour you dislike, let me know, and I can attempt to address it!

Enjoy!

October Note
------------------
Heads up - more Save-Breaking changes are in the pipe for 5 factions, including this one. The new XML version had a hidden but important flaw in my method. I plan to release the patches next weekend b/t Friday and Sunday.
Go ahead and either set up a static mod state (ask me how!) or finish your game this week.
The patches will accompany the release of the next XML faction for the Worthy- the Sisters of Battle.

Just played a quick match to test, made it past turn 70 without a single crash, deliberately made extra chaos rhinos and spammed their healing skill just to be sure.

Thanks a ton for the quick fix!

Sadie- Replicated the crash, identified the bug, and fixed the mod. :steamhappy: It might just work right away, or you might need to just let all the existing Rhinos die and make new ones (units get some properties from the code the turn they are constructed).

Thank you again, good feedback like this is key for me to put out the best version of the mods that I can. :steamthumbsup:

Sadie- this definitely looks like a Worthy caused crashed; the info you gave is excellent and shoukd allow me to quickly fix the issue. Thank you, and sorry for the trouble. These things are pretty complex. :steamfacepalm:

I should also note the rest of my modlist:
I have the full collection of Worthy AI mods
Golden Tooltips
Starting Hero
Jumpstart: Vehicles
Vaul Scouting Device
Increased City Loyalty (+50%)
Housing, Loyalty, and +1 City Radius From Start
More Map Sizes, Options & Difficulties

I own all of the races and all of the unit packs except for the single newest one and the Lord of Skulls and have not had any issues with AI controlled chaos players using rhinos during other matches.

Experiencing a strange crashing bug with the Chaos Rhino's self-heal skill, but having some trouble pinning down the exact cause.

Chaos Rhinos work perfectly fine for the first while, but somewhere around turn 30 one of them will consistently bug out and cause a CTD when I try to use it's self heal skill. What's especially strange is that I have two other rhinos on the field at the same time, and both of those still work normally without issue.

The I've tried loading troops into it first, unloading troops from it first, moving it away from enemies (it was inside an umbra's aura of fear), so on and so forth, but it's still giving the same generic crash.

I snagged a screenshot of the error message, if it helps at all: https://i.imgur.com/LPEEBqw.jpeg

The XML Update
----------
The clean unit ability version is now live for CHAOS.
This update represents a major overhaul for the Worthy. The adjustment to AI action use will be more reliable and much neater.

The mod now uses XML instead of EXT format. This means reduced compatibility with other mods, specifically with mods which completely replace the base-game units or faction. Completely compatible with many of the most popular mods, including Toffster's Too Many Voices, Devian's Heroes of Legend, and Malaikat's Reinforcements.

Enjoy! :steamhappy:

NOTICE - Late on the Update
Worthy Players- I spent far too much time playing Gladius and not enough time completing the debug on the update. My bad! :steamsad:
I am almost done, but certain requisition-using factions are resisting the new cooldown method. As such, I will delay the update until Sunday. Sorry!

In one week, I will be breaking all the saved Worthy games.
