Need Apatcher and Apoc'D

Unit Limits

Standard unit limit for building security is 36. The maximum I've managed is 47 using one X-Com unit on Central Elevator + U-Hotel. EsTeR

• use apatcher to change "ground force limits" to 54 (keep base raiders at 36).
• use Apoc'd to change all "organisations/average guards" to 54.

Explosives Limits

Typically don't go over these conservative limits: "power" = 200 and "depletion rate" = (0.1 x power).
Maximum power is 250 (of 2^8) for stable gameplay.
Note: depletion rate is ALWAYS 10% of power to prevent the game from crashing. Do not change "Range" or "Projectile Lifetime" for any grenade type. (if any explosion front extends past its given radius and happens to reappear as a second front, the game will crash soon after).
Gas effects durations seem to hard coded. Added info to pages. Power:

• 100 = APgren
• 250 = stungren
• 100 = smoke
• 150 = prox
• 200 = hi-X
• 200 = boomeroid
• 250 = vortex
• 200 = INgren

Works well

• 300 = hi-X
• 400 = boomeroid
• 500 = vortex

Using depletion rates of 5% work, but alot of action may freeze the game. Use 10% to be safe.
