i have to defeat him and 50 snakes some elite snakes and each of them can 1 shot crit all my heros. and they have unlimited spawns and they keep spawning in like 5 every turn. HOW DO I TURN THE SPAWNING OFF?????
i'm not even 10 missions in yet and my snake ruler appeared in my campaign at mission blacksite and I'm having a hard time defeating a modded version of viper king and don't know which mods made his health higher i guess it's a unlucky modded dark event?

@C7 While there are some mods that stop Rulers from reacting to reloading, this mod isn't one of them.

I really appreciate that this elegantly makes them reasonable and also removes cheese strats that invalidate them. Really sick!

ruler reacts to reloading for me (doesn't react to movement), no idea what causes this

Best ruler overhaul, IMO.

@Dragon32
Alien Rulers Use Prime Reactions - maybe work on new tactical but not on already created
or
Ruler Reactions Revised - WotC - it worked on time
or
Disable Ruler Reaction WOTC - only work on new tactical mission

@Johrdan720
What's that other mod?

I was looking at adding this mod but it and Renegade Rulers override the same classes so I don't use this mod currently.
Johrdan720 15 Mar, 2022 @ 7:37am 
just install another mod that remove the movement reaction, and works fine, even in the ongoing mission
something is off with this mod
Johrdan720 14 Mar, 2022 @ 5:57pm 
i restarted the mission and still dont work
i have no clue whats going here, i double check in AML and there is no conflit there
Johrdan720 14 Mar, 2022 @ 5:39pm 
i tried regenerate the config files
but i can't tell for sure,because i'm allready in a mission
viper king still react to movement, and have his own turn

Ok. I re-subscribed to Blue Rajas version and had no problems though - battle with Ruler went as I was used to ( had been using it for awhile). Reaction to offensive, varied on defensive, and none to movement. I'm using ABA as well and I see another comment down below with similar issues ( I'm not using the Hive). Either way, something's off. Not going to do a conflict search on my end at the moment but hopefully something is figured out.
Lago  [author] 13 Feb, 2022 @ 11:13am 
If they react to movement you have a conflicting mod installed somewhere.
jahsinha 13 Feb, 2022 @ 10:39am 
It seems like the Ruler reacts to everything so I'm not sure if this is working. They react to movement, reloads, "lead the target" by Proficiency Sniper. Maybe intended by this mod, I guess, but just absurd.

Returning to Blue Rajas version. I forget how annoying ( and ridiculous) the Ruler spam is.
miku567 7 Jan, 2022 @ 11:30am 
ok
Dragon32 6 Jan, 2022 @ 12:21pm 
@miku567
They're similar, read their respective Descriptions and you can compare them

@Lago no the Archon Ruler responded to movement and attacks just like vanilla wether the attacks targeted them or not this was after disabling Hive I'll try it on a new save with minimal mods turned on but that's gonna take awhile as I speed to the dlc mission
Stolas Suzie 3 Jan, 2022 @ 3:19am 
I'll have to get back to you when I do a mission with another Alien Ruler. I'd assume it is conflicting I know The Hive adds an Alien Ruler of its own so that's sure to be messing things up.
Lago  [author] 2 Jan, 2022 @ 10:53pm 
It doesn't conflict with A Better ADVENT. Does it start working if you turn The Hive off?
Stolas Suzie 2 Jan, 2022 @ 9:30pm 
Does this conflict with A Better Advent or The Hive? Cause they're still responding to all actions for me the mod isn't doing anything or something is interfering with it.
eclipsezr 2 Jan, 2022 @ 5:24pm 
@Gajoo
I just tried it using "Rulers Reaction for the chosen" Mod along this one

and it seem chosen din't reacted to movement.
But did reacted when i attacked the chosen or any of its allies.

Either way loving this mod with combination of the other.
Makes chosen more challenging but not OP!
Some Random Dude 30 Dec, 2021 @ 6:47am 
Read the first change that stops them from reacting to movement and had to grab this mod right way, seriously this mod is a god send
Stolas Suzie 24 Dec, 2021 @ 2:18pm 
I always hated that the rulers were nothing but just a non stop slugging fest seeing who had more HP there was no strategy to fighting them just sitting there and taking abuse. Unless you cheesed it by using a concealment scout and snipers squadsight which was boring. Thanks for making this mod.
somekindofpast 22 Dec, 2021 @ 11:02am 
this is how they should have implemented rulers, thank you @Lago
Lago  [author] 15 Dec, 2021 @ 3:36am 
If it uses the existing Ruler reaction soldier perks, they should work together. If it adds its own, they won't affect each other.
Gajoo 15 Dec, 2021 @ 3:03am 
Will this go well with the mod that gives ruler actions to the Chosen?
PipeBombastic 14 Dec, 2021 @ 7:46pm 
finally I can evac my troops instead of watching my colonel get snatched and strangled to death
Haywire 13 Dec, 2021 @ 12:15pm 
Thanks Lago. I'll load it up and see what happens. ;-)
Dragon32 12 Dec, 2021 @ 4:37pm 
Thanks for the reply, Lago. And the mod! :)
Lago  [author] 12 Dec, 2021 @ 4:17pm 
I'm not certain, but I think that'll work. If it does, you could also surprise a Ruler by firing a Plasma Blaster at it through a wall.
MrMister 12 Dec, 2021 @ 2:11pm 
I take it a difference between this and nerf nerf is that with this they won't react to outside-LoS grenades?
Lago  [author] 12 Dec, 2021 @ 1:23pm 
Ruler Rework's solution to that problem is a little different, but yes, they'd be fairly redundant together.
Dragon32 12 Dec, 2021 @ 3:23am 
@Lago
This looks like a really good tweak to their behaviour. I'm currently using Ruler Nerf Nerf .

Whilst that doesn't override the same classes it "Adds in an exception to the LOS requirement for rulers in War of the Chosen: if they take any damage from XCOM, even from a out of distance shooter, they will act."

That sounds redundant if this mod is used?
Lago  [author] 11 Dec, 2021 @ 9:54pm 
From the look of Upgraded Rulers, it should. The only other mod I know of that modifies the Ruler reaction system is Ruler Reactions Revised.
Haywire 11 Dec, 2021 @ 4:44pm 
Would it work with [WOTC] Upgraded Rulers? I'm trying to figure it out but some of this is over my head. lol

Thanks in advance for any help. :-)

Happy Holidays everyone!
Verroak Krasha 11 Dec, 2021 @ 3:22pm 
This sounds great. It gives the exact kind of balancing out I'd give them.
Lago  [author] 11 Dec, 2021 @ 11:06am 
They should work fine together. Rulers will react if ADVENT shoots at them.
MrMister 11 Dec, 2021 @ 10:53am 
How does this behave with Renegade Rulers ?
Povuh 11 Dec, 2021 @ 10:31am 
This sounds great! Just what I was looking for.
Lago  [author] 11 Dec, 2021 @ 10:09am 
If LWotC doesn't modify the rulers, it should be.
Aks 11 Dec, 2021 @ 6:45am 
Hi, the mod looks cool, is it compatible with LWOTC?
