[WOTC]Mission Beneath Suspicion
This mod introduces a quick way to disable the presence of Rulers or Chosens from specific missions.
Why on earth would the Chosen come to interrupt XCOM while they rescue some unconscious dude in the middle of the Lost city? This clearly does not seem important enough for the Chosen to interfere. Some missions are just beneath the suspicion of the Chosen, so they have no reason to be there. This mod creates a configurable list of missions, on which the Chosen will not be able to spawn. This is done by using a CHL event. In addition, this mod also includes another config list for missions on which Rulers will not be able to spawn. This is done by creating a new sitrep (Remote Region) that will only spawn on these missions, and that has conflicting tags to the Ruler tags.
The list of missions for each of those lists is inside XComGame.ini. Readers are advised to not add missions where the Chosen are scripted to show up into the "ban chosen" list, such as the Chosen stronghold mission etc.
By default, this includes the crate extraction mission, and the recover expedition ("turret+truck") mission.
LWOTC has its own logic for spawning Chosen and Rulers, so this will absolutely not work there.
In CI, this will NOT affect Infiltration missions. Therefore, if playing with CI, then it is recommended to only add missions which can only be assault missions.
Hive Queen and Spark Ruler are supported by default.
CHL, obviously.
If the Ruler was meant to show up on a mission that is configured with this mod, and it got cancelled because of this mod, it might still count an appearance of that ruler for the purpose of "this ruler can only show up X times, after which it won’t show at all".
The Remote Region sitrep may appear on some missions twice. This is harmless.
