This plugin adds some special enemy troop encounters via plugin parameters and commands:
- Large Troops: In the plugin parameter two troops can be combined into a large troop of upto 16 enemies. The position of the enemies in the combines troop will not change from their database position, so enemies in the second part should be placed a different positions.

I've combined troop 11 and 12 into large troop. It doesn't matter which one is encountered. The troop will always consist of the members of both troops. The only difference is, if troop 11 will be encounter the event pages of troop 11 will be used, else the pages of troop 12 will be used.
Known Issues: Event commands obviously cannot target members of the second half of the troop.
- Randomized Troops: Putting troop ids into this plugin parameter will make the enemy ids of the first given number of enemies be randomized from the entire pool of the troop. Large troops can be randomized allowing up to 16 randomized enemies. As this will use the positions of the first given number of enemies from the database, only enemies of approximately same size are recommended to be used with this functionality.
Example:
My troop 12 is a large troop consisting of 3 sandworms, 3 gnomes, 2 salamander and 4 zombies, but the encounter will consist of only a random selection of 7 of them, while zombies are more likely to appear then salamander.
- Wave Encounters: Triggered by a plugin command. Battle a certain number of troops consecutively in a single battle screen with the option to trigger a common event between the battles. The next wave of the enemies appear always after the common event is finished. Actor actions are preserved between battles, so if one actor has beaten the last enemy from the current troop while not all actors attacked during this turn, they will attack the incoming troop before it can act.

Known Issues: If used together with Visu_MZ_BattleCore, the visual enemy selection by mouse click won't work for wave 2 onwards. Luckily Visustella have their own consecutive battles.
- Challenge Battles: The plugin command EnterChallengeArena opens up an entire new menu. Most of the plugin parameters are used to provide the text for this new menu. In the menu you can select from various battle challenges which can be setup in the plugin parameters. These battle challenge can include wave encounters. The new menu will show you a preview of the last troop encountered in the challenge or a silouhette if the challenge is not yet unlocked. Challenges can include having a preset item list in your inventory, a time limit given either in number of turns or seconds on the timer and/or allowing only certain party members to participate. On victory switches can be activated as an additional rewards and also on the first victory variables can be increased and a common events can be triggered. It's not recommended to use randomized troops or Visustella Swap Enemies with this, because you might never encounter what you see in the preview.
The participating party members are fully healed before the challenge begins. The entire party is fully healed after the challenge has ended.
