Crash Fix: Live Alien capture set for STR_TZEENTCH_ZEALOT_THRALL_RITUALIST
Adjusted mini unit preview art for Inquisition storm troopers that had part of the white border visible.
Enabled the new Craft Bolter Ammo (same as bike twin-linked heavy bolter ammo) and removed the old version to match 035.
Set several vanilla Chaos Marines to 1 psiSkill, to avoid them getting vanilla OXCE values.
Change two slaanesh scouts to appear as mediums instead of small on radar reports. Various other size upgrades on radar return for other UFO/Crafts.
Scion Officer Carapace ufopedia fix.
PDF Flak Armor appearing everywhere fix
Female Imperial PDF now with different inventory sprite from the male version.
Added Deathwatch variant armors to personal_lights.rul so they don't glow in the dark.
Added resistances to Tzeentch magic to their own armors.
Some GFX improvements for Tzeentch faction abilities.
Removed voice line 3816 when moving male Scions, which would play 1 minute of voice clips.
TU carry over script updated for temp over to_time (halved %), stun-lock incidents should now be greatly reduced.
Added missing RandomType+FireBlastCalc to Redeemer Shells and LB Inferno Ammo
Moved some chaos weapons into the chaos -pedia category (previously under weapons and equipment).
CHANGES:
TEST: Visual Indicator of hits. Units flash red if they've taken health damage, or white if they've only taken armor damage. The more intense the red flash, the greater the damage dealt.
Added more mission types to the starting month script to increase variation of enemy lists encountered (not just normal cult/tzeentch cult).
Removed promethium cost from HB_clip, makes existance more tolerable for Grey Knights.
Faster Rhino refuel rate so it doesn't take 3 days to refuel.
Vostroya Autofire reduced to 2 shots, but made more accurate.
(Heavy) Lascannons reload speed standardized to 30 TU (slow to reload).
More bolters have access to Kraken and Metal Storm rounds.
Ultra Pattern Boltgun (available in the trade outpost) improved to be inbetween normal and mastercrafted pattern.
ENEMY BASES: The bigger the base, the bigger the reward for destroying it, and the greater the penalty for aborting. Abort penalties are half the point rewards. Abort penalties are meant to counter base farming.
Penalties for enemy Bases operating around the world updated (was already a thing, but weaker):
Bases now penalize score per day equal to X^2 where X is equal to their base level, capping at -20 per day.
Level 1 Base: -1 point per day
Level 2 Base: -4 points per day
Level 3 Base: -8 points per day
Level 4 Base: -16 points per day
Level 5 Base: -20 points per day
CSM and Necron bases count as being level 4. This is meant to feature base proliferation as a soft lose condition.
Grenade changes: Smoke, Frag, Phosphor, Melta, Hologram, Eldar and Krak grenades made slightly lighter (-1 weight from previously) and cheaper to prime and throw. Frags and kraks can be primed and thrown in the same turn (30-40% TU cost per action). For frags, 60% of TU cost instead of 80% previously. Proximity and Krak grenades cost 70% of TU. Heavier grenades cost 10% more TU to throw and the Melta bomb costs 80% TU to prime and throw.
Sound-effects added to indicate priming/unprimed grenades.
Lighter weight means they can be tossed their maximum distance by lower strength units.
Frag grenades now do less item damage (-75%).
40mm launched melta grenades preArmor damage improved. 50% of 90 power in armor damage.
ADEPTAS:
Adapted Adeptas Sentinel variants for Drop Pod use (less prone to seriously injuring the pilot on drop).
Melta-lance Sentinel improved. Slightly better armor and better attack range (harmony beamer melta type).

DEATHWATCH:
Tweaks to resist and zombiechance.
Adjusted Inventory slots for DW Devastator Armor.
Enabled MK7 Apothecary armor for DW.

Gave the two new Necron units in 035 relevant Necron script tags and dodge values for the Scarabs (Still flimsy).
Necron Scarabs now self-destruct when destroyed in a powerful fragmentation explosion.
Lychguard Dispersion Shield now has snap shot mode for improved reaction fire.
TZEENTCH:
Tuned down PsiSkill values for low tier cultist members and blue horrors, witches and cult leaders/commanders are the primary psi-threat.
Blue Fire made less direct damaging and more debuffing.
Available, Chill Mode files (see the discord):
Delayed enemy item tech level progression to 24 months instead of default 12 months.
Changed enemy races scaling to a 24 month cycle. 1: -> 2:, 2-> 4:, 3:-> 6: etc. Shift everything but month 0 entry.

CHANGES
Set extendedExperienceAwardSystem. true with the new OXCE update. Several changes, xp gained by hitting enemy units (not neutrals), i.e you cannot train on mind-controlled aliens anymore, throwing experience also gives some secondary stat gain. Smoke counts, stun counts and shotgun pellets counts as 1 hit.
Thunderbolt interceptor improved; gained 1 armor, 5 evasion, 500 fuel capacity and 3x repair speed. Acceleration reduced from 5 to 4.
Hull Plating extra health reduced from 250 to 50; armor increased from 2 to 3; intended to reduce the equip times substantially and improve its niche at tanking low level threats without repair downtime.
Standardized webber ammo stats (buff) to be in line between pistol and heavy webber.
Added Incendiary rounds for the Ripper Gun; these are most effective versus lightly armored targets, and for illuminating darkness/defeating camo.

Fixed Tome of Speed. Causes some stun and morale damage to prevent OP over-use. Now scales with psiSkill instead of bravery.
INQUISITION - DEATHWATCH
Updated Soldier stats for ROSIGMA. These guys are veterans, so they have better random stat distribution on recruitment, higher bravery etc. The various chapters have slightly different odds of stat boons (+5 here and there, nothing huge).
Integrated v035 Deathwatch Armor sets (about a dozen) with ROSIGMA stat lines. Includes anti-stealth, armor values and resistances etc. Salamanders get special fire/melta resistance.
Integrated new DW Weapons with ROSIGMA stats balancing. DW Weapons are a notch above in terms of quality, which is reflected in some weapons.
Integrated new DW Craft variants with ROSIGMA stats. Improved repair, speed and refueling time.
Updated DW craft manufacturing costs with ROSIGMA balancing.
Updated new DW Armor manufacturing costs and kill token balancing.
Added STR_RIFLEA (Artifex Pattern) and renamed STR_RIFLEB back to ULTRA pattern. Updated starting care package events for DW to reflect this. RIFLEA is DW exclusive, similar to Stalker pattern but tweaked for auto-fire (Slightly worse at long range).
ELDAR
Gave STR_SHURIKEN_CLIP, AUX_STARCANNON and AUX_DOUBLE_STARCANNON some ToArmorPre (armor damage).
Nerfed Nurgle Spits and Sneezes direct health damage. Several hits will kill a guardsman, but it's more about damaging armor and debuffing with corruption.
SLAANESH
Slaanesh Traitor Guard forces added with spritework by Xom and Leflair. Includes flak variants, carapace, officer and commissar (commander). Equipped with slaanesh flavor lascarbines, lasguns, longlas and plasma pistols. The Perfect Guard have a very small 1/turn dodge chance and higher reactions than their counterparts.
Filling out their forces are Slaanesh contingents of turned novices, devotees, cultists and slaangors.
Added a Slaanesh Sonic Platform, merging chaos and xeno technology, for the Slaanesh Traitor Guard and Slaanesh lists.
Added Slaanesh Chimeras with custom turrets, including a Sonic Cannon variant (not as strong direct damage as the Havoc version).
Added a Slaanesh Escher-derived lasgun (using slaanesh las cells) and reworked the tanith-one to act as their longlas. Slaangor, Cultists and Slaanesh Guard requipped accordingly.
Added a Sonic Gun, equipping the Slaanesh Carapace Stormtroopers/Veterans, and replacing most of the Choir Guns that Slaanesh Sisters had. It does half health damage of the Sonic cannon, has halved armor penetration, but causes some time unit/energy damage.
Added Slaanesh Traitor Guard lists to randomized defenders of Traitor Guard bases and patrols. They can also carry out certain mission types.
TZEENTCH
Added Tzeentch Chimeras with custom turrets, equipped with heavy bolters or Tzeentch heavy flamers.
