[WOTC] Pick Chosen Rivals

This mod is very similar to Predetermined Chosen Rivalries by thegrimsqueaker72 and also Custom Chosen Rivalries by Iridar.

Note that it is also different than my new mod: Second Wave Pick your chosen Which adds second wave options to select your first encountered chosen.

Pick Chosen Rivals allows you to pick chosen rivalry, and sets up both the Chosen's weakness and configures the faction target for it's hunt mission.(e.g. You configure the Assassin to rival the skirmishers. The Assassin is now weak to the skirmishers and the skirmishers' covert actions are dedicated to hunting the Assassin). This also means your starting faction determines the first Chosen you encounter. By design, it is incompatible with Lost and Abandoned.

Predetermined Chosen Rivalries forces canon rivalry:

• Assassin - Skirmishers
  
• Hunter - Reapers
  
• Warlock - Templars

For a given chosen, they are weak to the listed faction, and that faction is set up to hunt that Chosen. (e.g. The Assassin is weak to the skirmishers, and the skirmishers' covert actions are dedicated to hunting the Assassin). This also means that your starting faction determines your starting Chosen. Doesn't work with the story mission Lost and Abandoned enabled.


Custom Chosen Rivalries allows you to customize chosen rivalry, but it only allows you to configure their rival faction. This really only sets up their weakness. The faction's convert action to hunt will still be random. (e.g. You configure the Assassin to rival the skirmishers. The assassin is weak to the skirmishers, but the skirmishers' covert actions are dedicated to hunting the Warlock). This mod does work with Lost and Abandoned.



Require's a new campaign and doesn't work with Lost And Abandoned.
Doesn't work with any mod that override's XcomGameState_HeadQuartersAlien.

Rival factions are configured in this ini file:


I realize this is really similar to other mods so if this is in bad taste, I'll take it down.

If you're using this mod please like and favorite it, as it helps get attention.
