Spawning new parties using only XML

[Crossbow Pig]

Is it possible to spawn new parties, like bandits for example, using only xml files?

I have encountered exactly the same problem: I cannot find any xml file related to spawn chance, party movement speed, or maximum bandit party on the map.

The only thing I come close is a xml file used by the mod "Custom Spawn". The xml file inside ModuleData/Data, showing a section of code as follows:

<RegularBanditDailySpawnData
party_template ="PartyTemplate.cs_mountain_raider_squad_template"
spawn_clan = "Faction.mountain_bandits"
overriden_spawn_clan_0 = "">
<MaximumOnMap>6</MaximumOnMap>
<ChanceOfSpawn>0.0225</ChanceOfSpawn>
<ChanceInverseConstant>0.0675</ChanceInverseConstant>
<Name>Mountain Raiders</Name>
<RepeatSpawnRolls>2</RepeatSpawnRolls>
<BaseSpeedOverride>5.2</BaseSpeedOverride>
<MinimumFinalSpeed>4</MinimumFinalSpeed>
<MaximumFinalSpeed>5.2</MaximumFinalSpeed>
</RegularBanditDailySpawnData>

However, as I have mentioned, I cannot find a xml file that contains a similar section of code in the Sandbox, SandboxCore and Native.
