This is fun and all but I'm a bit bummed that such a minor change as "Make it so that if an enemy dies they can tell other enemies to take vengeance for them" destabilizes balance this badly.

Goddamnit fuck I did it, here you go, if I spend any longer tweaking this I'm going to go mad.

Just the monsters.
Please use at least GZDoom 4.2, tested and works on the latest as well though. Shouldn't be any version locking unless Graf decides to blow up menus again or some shit. Bear in mind that anything but the monsters-only version is a FULL MOD so it'll probably break if you use it on a map with custom player classes. Custom content like monsters usually doesn't blow up, but they obviously won't have anything to use to interface with the fear/sync systems.
Tell me how broken it is in the comments of that page or here, and have fun. There is a significant nonzero chance that I fucked this up really badly and something is broken, just so you know.
