📋 About This Mod
Royal Arena - Leveled Enemies
Already bundled in Royal Galaxy, this is the total leveled enemies experience. Royal Arena include size-scaling, bug fixes, and aggressive enemy AI. In other words, this is a full enemy leveled list overhaul. Royal Arena is all my royal leveled enemies in one plugin.
If you have Royal Aliens, Royal Terror, Royal Unique Humans, and Royal Starborn, you already have this mod + additional features.
Due to the sheer volume of hand-tweaked features, this should be an improvement over any other leveled enemies experience currently available.
On a per-enemy-basis, size scaling, movement speed, and other details have been tweaked. Enemies that should be faster, are faster. Starborn have increased Starpower and enhanced abilities.
Enemy damage slightly buffed where appropriate, but weapons not touched. To enhance damage dealt by gun-wielding enemies, Starborn Knight - Royal Combat Overhaul (which also bundles Royal Arena) or Royal Weapons Balance are suggested.
All mods will continue receiving standalone support. I have a workflow that makes this somewhat survivable for me. No need to swap to this plugin if using other Royal mods happily.
This package ensures reasonably challenging enemies with aggressive AI in Starfield.
All enemies include size scaling and other diversity tweaks.
All enemies level at appropriate multipliers. A spacer might be 0. 8x your level, a Terrormorph 1. 2x.
Bosses will be stronger than grunts.
Doubled XP from Starborn and Terrormorph kills to suit their difficulty.
3x Credit Value of Looted Animal Parts
This also includes the Royal Aliens - Hard Patch.
These are the values I felt would best make the Royal Arena experience.
A big criticism of leveled worlds is that everything feels the same to fight.
This mod aims to avert that by ensuring that factions and individual enemies within groups are unique. Enemies have different stats, body types, heights, and most importantly, speeds. Spacers are generally the weakest, with House Va'Ruun being the strongest-- outside Starborn, who now use more magic.
Terrormorphs and Ashta will be far more lethal than your average predator.
Royal Arena increases the difficulty of the game.
Please do not expect to be able to play on Very Hard from level one un

📊 Pros & Cons

- Might conflict with other combat mods if you're stacking them.
For Starfield players who want tougher, more varied combat without breaking immersion. If you're tired of enemies feeling samey and want a challenge that scales with you, this is worth a shot. Skip if you prefer vanilla difficulty or don't want to fiddle with mod conflicts.
