Reworked Combat Intelligence

Everybody gets standard combat intelligence. No more random uber characters. Communism.

-= BONUS =-
However, standard combat intelligence provides the same bonus as Gifted in the original version. You can increase your combat intelligence in game as normal. This is somewhat of a buff to AP. I guess it's more accurate to say "Everyone Is Gifted". Since it's harder to gain Combat Intelligence, the gains from leveling it up in-game is now increased so it matches getting bonus AP (from the Ring for example).

The numbers:
WOTC : 0/1/2/4/7
MODDED : 2/4/6/8/10 (You will most likely never get anything above 4, increasing your Combat Intelligence once per character)

Leveling your Combat Intelligence from Basic to Advanced (1 to 2) is about the same AP wise as sending your soldier on an AP mission in the ring now (7 Ranks x +2 = 14, the Ring provides about 15 AP).

Heroes will also have increased benefits from a leveled Combat Intelligence to match XCOM (they don't use the same system). Leveling up your Heroes provides approx. 10-15% bonus total AP for them each time.

-= AP ACQUISITION =-
I have not altered the rate at which heroes or classes acquire AP in their class definitions, this is entirely up to you to use whatever you want (double AP mod for example).

You still need the Training Facility to get nonstandard perks for vanilla classes.

-= NEW SOLDIERS ONLY =-
If you sub to this mid campaign, only new soldiers are affected. I think even soldiers in the recruitment dont count as new soldiers.

-= RANK RENAMES =-
I renamed the intelligence ranks.
