Description:

This mod is an expansion of Dynamic Enemy Creation by Chris The Thin Mint. Much of the code is taken from his mod; I have added a new value which can be used to config stat and ability research, Advent Research.
Like Dynamic Enemy Creation, this mod has no impact on gameplay by itself, it simply adds capabilities that can be utilized by config changes.

The current ways Advent Research increases, all by configurable amounts include:
– The end of every month
– On specified result of specified mission family
– The amount and/or percentage of wounded and killed soldiers at the end of a mission
– If a mission is aborted
– When facilities generate any amount of doom
– Every X days since mod was installed/save started.
More ways to adjust Advent Research will likely come in the future.

I’ve also added the ability to configure stat and ability upgrades that apply to a set of units, rather than one at a time. This should reduce config bloat when adding the same upgrade to many units. The doom counter as a variable is now functional as well.

This mod replaces Dynamic Enemy Creation, and thus cannot be used at the same time as it. However, it also includes all functionality of Dynamic Enemy Creation, and should be compatible with any mod that requires it.

Thanks to Iridar, SwfDelicious, and RustyDios for their kind and considerable help in navigating xcom 2 modding. Inspired by a rather long talk with Tripitaka. Eat your heart out, Stukov.
