I think you could add the golem as a flashpoint boss. Flashpoints don't spawn in bosses unless there's airspace (which would also probably have sufficient space for the golem).

Fixed it plus other additions

Bruh how did I noticed it I named it Fraction brooo

Thanks!

about adding more units, i don't know how just how difficult it might be to implement in practice, but looking briefly at the base map sweepers code, it seems that there's examples of ways to manipulate the size of an enemy (eg. polyp) and apply a different texture (cyberguard).
if you decide to add more variants, maybe you could use these to say, add a small catapult, a big knight, or a stronger soldier with a different texture? granted, these are VJ npcs, so i guess the coding might be different then. the only VJ addon i can think of right now that (probably) uses different sized enemies is more chicken npcs, though it's a little old. good work on the descriptions by the way!

Updated the Addon's preview image

Plus new descriptions for enemies that fit more with the style of Map Sweeper's writing.

Thanks!

But yeah, like I think I'm iffy on adding the tank and golem due to how BIG they are and could actually get stuck depending on the map

Really cool and fun faction but definitely could use some unit variety. Try your best to make it work, I'm sure it'll come out well.

finally works now! fun faction, their knocking of turrets away is cool. can't help feeling a "boss" enemy would be a nice addition, perhaps a (nerfed) version of the ancient gear catapult? obviously the golem is cooler, but too big and slow.

Fixed the faction conflict, as turns out the lua is named "npcs" for the faction. So it conflicted with mods that haven't changed the Lua name from "npcs"/base file.

Huh that's weird, I think it might be due to how what the lua file is called. But I'll fix it when I get the chance too

I hope you do add some custom units to spice things up.

also seems to conflict with the neco-arc faction, error says "Addon '[Map Sweepers] Neco Arc Faction' probably conflicts with addon '[Map Sweepers] Ancient Gears Fraction' due to both having the following files:
lua/autorun/npcs.lua"

These are NOT the Automatons

it appears there's a conflict so if either of these factions are loaded the ancient gears faction gets overwritten and doesn't appear
