Gothic 2: New Balance – New experimental plugin LilBastards.vdf

Here we have another brand-new plugin for New Balance. It is not from the author of the New Balance mod, so by adding it to the mod, you are again modifying the game in ways the original author did not intend, just like other addons and submods that are not from the author.

This is the first version of this addon, released today, so various bugs may appear, as it hasn’t been fully tested yet.

🔥 [Mod] Lil' Bastards – Now monsters can have babies! 🔥

📌 Description:

This mod adds a chance that an adult animal or goblin will have a little baby nearby! Configure probabilities, offspring count, and their stats directly in Gothic.ini.

⚙️ Installation:

1️⃣ Download the plugin archive.

2️⃣ Extract it to any convenient folder.

3️⃣ Copy the LilBastards.vdf file into the Data\Plugins folder of your game.

⚙️ Settings (file Gothic.ini):

[LILBASTARDS]
lilchance=20; 🔹 Chance of baby spawn (0–100)
lilcount=1; 🔹 Number of babies at once (1–5)
lildivider=4; 🔹 Variable dividing parents’ base stats (1–5)
lilrange=100; 🔹 Spawn distance from parents (0–1000)

⚠️ Important!

The game will try to spawn a baby every time a suitable monster enters the player’s field of view. So you can abuse this a bit if you really want. 😏

🔮 Future plans:

✅ Settings via menu (no need to edit .ini)

✅ Baby behavior (aggressive / neutral / passive)

✅ Optional disabling of XP and trophies from them

✅ And a few more interesting things...

For now, it is placed in the experimental plugins folder until it has been further tested and patched.
