Elite Raid Plus
[b]Fewer raids, but stronger![/b]
Struggling with 200-person tribal raids that lag your computer? Try this mod!
Compress enemy numbers and grant them elite buffs to match difficulty. With a roguelike enhancement system, enhancements and levels provide randomness and fun. Some enhancements also improve enemy quality,
increasing the chance of capturing high-quality pawns. Each level has fixed values, so there are no overpowered enemies, though enemy strength scales with high compression ratios.

[b]Compared to the old Elite Raid version, this mod has stronger mod compatibility, more enemy enhancement traits, and some traits can even revive enemies and grant abilities[/b]
[b]This mod also optimizes enemy trait distribution and enhances enemy work skills and traits at higher levels[/b]

[b]Although enemies have bleed rate reduction, this is to offset increased bleeding from wound merging mechanics. Players can still capture high-level enemies through bleeding. Of course, if enemies don't have psychic immunity, you can also use the psychic shock lance.[/b]
