His blades being unupgradeable are a real shame (they're arguably not even the best in their tier because of stun) but as an enemy, he's great, especially with a lot of third parties

I just beat him for the first time the other day, one of the most exciting and glorious moments I've ever experienced in any XCOM game. One of my characters (named Tito) was spec'ed into being a tank/bruiser using RPGO, and it caused the two of them to wail on each other while Sundowner's reactive armor painted their battle in fire and smoke. When the dust settled, Tito came out the other end victorious and all the advent soldiers were routed into a retreat. Amazing mod, truly. I hope to see more like this from you in the future.

Not invincible enough, needs a buff or three.

I love the part about "War crime this, code of conduct that"

too bad we can't upgrade his blades :) i'd love to see them the whole game

please concider doing armstrong :D with regen and maybe 2 phases :) mgr fits there just amazing

holy shit, my team is doomed

Nice

@RealtiyMachina I had this ruler evacuate in a mission even though no damage had been taken. Is this expected behavior. This ruler also regenerated health before appearing in another mission. Is this expected?

@mynameactually I feel like we might get Mistral and Monsoon before that, Maybe Sam

I'm fucking invincible! lmao. This is awesome. Do I foresee nanomachines in the future?

@RealityMachina: Been having occasional Crashes when using the Bloodlust swords. Happened twice with a Fixer CAVER from Alterd's Fixer class mod carrying them upon attacking someone with them. Doesn't seem to occur every time though, given my CAVER ripped a Specter apart previous to the second crash just fine.

Have you considered integrating him with MOCX/EXALT somehow rather than being directly ADVENT? Seems like he'd fit right in with those guys.

Great mod really op boss. Two things though he turned up in March (possibly April?) in my campaign. With 5 pips of armour it’s death or evac (if possible) at that stage of the game no chance so early on. And then later he seems to trump other rulers making an appearance a little too much.
Secondly it might be a conflict with Children of the King 2 mod but not had issues with it before, the problem being both a Viper boss & this beast man rolled up. As was a timed mission with an evac point was my first ever squad wipe lol, I can’t fight two rulers, reinforcements and the regular troops all at once. The description says he shouldn’t turn up when another ruler does, yet there he was. It’s great work btw much appreciated

Is this safe to enable mid-campaign or should I start a fresh run?

this is really cool hope you can make a bunch of them so i can get harassed by mgr bosses even outside of mgr

@alphashadow897 That sounds relatively normal unless you mean the camera *stays* up there: I've managed to get the camera to follow a body when it's being fultoned but tabbing over to a soldier usually fixed it for me.

On behalf of Edit:Edward - Is it normal for the camera to ascend into space if you try to fulton Sundowner?

I discovered MGR:R only yesterday, and now I see that this was uploaded nary two weeks ago?
Truly, today I am blessed

I'm gonna be real honest here, I feel like you lost a huge chance by not making Red Sun play whenever he appears on the map.

Good news: I have added additional voice lines to the Sundowner voice pack, which should be reflected in this mod now. Have fun!

Yeah music would've been cool as an add-on for MMS but it doesn't seem to have support for unit specific encounters so there's no way for me to say "play this only when this unit appears".

Although I guess I can throw the people who made it a question about it to see if they would be willing to add it to the future.

Only regret is that his theme music from Revengeance doesn't start playing once you initiate combat with him, otherwise he's a fantastic menance to my current playthrough and I can't wait to finally loot him and take his shit.

Please tell me the music changes to red sun, with the vocals coming in once fired up activates

Does his music play when he appears? That would be cool AF

@RealityMachina I damaged this enemy in a prior mission and the health of the unit was completely restored when he next appeared. He did escape on the prior mission.

@RealityMachina I had this guy show up. In the first mission he shot one of my soldiers but then evacuated even though I had done no damage to him. Is that expected? Also he showed up on two consecutive missions. Is that intended?

It's just like the good ol' days after 9/11.

you dont need a new campaign

New campaign required?

LESGOOO

Oooooooh I LIKE the idea of additional "setpiece" villains like the Rulers and Chosen, but with a structure that eventually modders might be able to build their own (ala Raider Factions).
Excellent Stuff!

Damn ignoring that he comes from another game, he looks remarkably a lot like a prototype/super Advent soldier of sorts.

Excellent work man, congrats on the release!

Very interesting to see what you've done with my and Max's work. Cool that you made him into a boss fight enemy, good work!

Does he try to run off like rulers do after taking enough damage, or does he stay and fight until he goes down?

Well this is terrifying

This is sweet, I’m very excited for this Ruler-Esque enemy type. Awesome as always

Oh hell yes! Any chance of seeing Mistral and Monsoon in future?

"KIDS ARE CRUEL, JACK! AND I LOOOOVE MINORS!" - Sundowner

All jokes aside though, this is absolutely amazing! Thank you for making it! Not an enemy I ever expected to see in XCOM

I could not have predicted this outcome, but it IS intriguing...

What in the world is this?
Subbed.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I LOVE YOU MAN
