📋 About This Mod
This mod changes the distribution of random mechwarriors to better representative of the entire Inner Sphere and Periphery states as a whole. I have found this to be more representative of the amount of peoples that populate the Inner Sphere as a whole. I have used this mod when I play with the Whole Inner Sphere map, like in Battletech Extended 3025 Commander's Edition.
The Vanilla game places Mechwarriros randomly using the following values:
Innersphere Nobles: 5
Commoners: 15
Periphery Nobles: 10
Commoners: 20
I have adjusted these values to better represent that when playing with the entire Inner Sphere map you should be seeing more mechwarriors from the 5 major houses instead of the Periphery. I have changed the values to this:
Innersphere Nobles: 15
Commoners: 45
Periphery Nobles: 10
Commoners: 20
These values are controlled by the files lifenode_start_origin. JSON and lifenode_astart_origin. JSON. They are found in/Battletech_Data/ /StreamingAssets/data/lifepathnode.
Do a search inside the two JDON files and then change these values as you see fit. Personally I have been playing BEXCE and got tired of seeing so many Periphery pilots while being on the other side of the Innersphere.
