📋 About This Mod

Requires modtek.

To install place the WellMaintainedEnemies folder that contains this readme in your BATTLETECH/Mods folder

This mod alters all procedural contracts so the enemies have good quality armor. Since it's free and easy to repair for you it is for them too.

Will conflict with other mods that alter contracts. (Including my mod Better Base Defense and others in the Better Series.)

  • Simple concept, big impact: instantly changes how you approach early game contracts

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2019 — might not work with the latest Battle Brothers patches

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using Vortex or another mod manager, just drag and drop the mod file — no manual folder creation needed.
  • Test the mod on a new campaign first, because it drastically changes early game pacing and you might need to adjust your playstyle.
  • Check the mod's forum page for any user patches or compatibility notes, since it's old and might need tweaks for current versions.
