Guerilla Class

This is a new class with completely unique abilities and custom FX designed to suit the more defensive roles in the party.

This is a new class with completely unique abilities and custom FX designed to suit a more defensive role.

Changelog: Fixed an incompatibility issue with the Infantry class and added customizable damage penalties to Airburst Rounds.

Incompatibility with the Infantry class is now completely fixed. If you started a campaign with the first version of this mod (which I think had around 300 subscribers), the "Easy Select" functionality in that campaign may be broken or missing. If you're using the 1.2 version, this issue will be fixed (but that version still has minor issues like Infantry, so I'd recommend going back to the current version once this campaign is complete).

With a host of gadgets and tools in lieu of secondary weapons, Guerrilla provides the team with a variety of defensive options and utilities otherwise unavailable to the commander. For example, they can provide armor, shielding, and powerful buffs to themselves and their teammates, allowing commanders to adopt more defensive or slow-moving strategies. Alternatively, guerrillas can use a variety of specialized offensive equipment, such as aerial bombs and underslung shredders, giving them a supportive mid-range combat role.

Balance is crucial to me and I try to keep my classes consistent with the vanilla classes. I'm eager to get feedback on the effectiveness of the class so that I can make any necessary adjustments to keep the class balanced.

The purpose of this course is to provide players with soldiers who can provide their team with a solid backline, defensive options, and some interesting and extreme offensive moves. I was trying to create a class that didn't fulfill the exact role of any existing class, but provide its own unique utility for the commander. I'd love to hear any thoughts on successes or lack thereof, and I'd love to tweak and balance the course to make it as perfect as possible.
