[WOTC] Second Wave Pick Your Chosen

Description
There are options to set up your starting faction, why not add some options to set up your starting Chosen?

Are you sick of having to restart when the resistance decides to light up your mind controlled Ranger?
Do you want to abandon your run, when the hunter's pistol causes your Squadies to bleed out?
Do you want to throw your PC out the window when the Assassin bending Reeds after murdering your Grenadier?
Rage quit no more! Now you can decide which Chosen you encounter first!

Second Wave: Pick Your Chosen
The mod adds mutually exclusive second wave options:
  • Assassin's Foe: Face the Assassin first.
  • Hunter's Foe: Face the Hunter first.
  • Warlock's Foe: Face the Warlock first.

This will dictate which Chosen is set up to oppose your starting faction. The remaining factions and Chosen will be randomly paired.

Like the Faction Ally options, it is incompatible with Lost & Abandoned.
These options are compatible with Faction Ally options.

Note: that this is different than Pick Chosen Rivals or mods like it because it only dictates your first Chosen encountered.
If you'd like a comparison of those mod's please visit the link above. Those mods are if you'd prefer to always face a particular order. As a second wave option, you can dynamically chose the order in the UI.

Localization
I only have the strings in English.
If you can volunteer a translation I'd be very grateful.

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

Known Issues
The new options are not actually mutually exclusive as I can't figure out how to do that.
The option selected defaults to the first in alphabetical order. (Assassin's Foe > Hunter's Foe > Warlock's Foe)

Source code is available on github[github.com].


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

Donations aren't needed or solicited. Nor are ideas for future mods. As to quote Arnold, I don't do requests.

@WelfareRecipient Is this mod safe to remove? I'd like to wait until the first Chosen spawns and then swap this mod for https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2078307522

I've used this thing twice in two different campaigns, and It has failed spectacularly at doing it's job. I choose the hunter in both instances, and I got the warlock both times. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

Just finished a campaign with about 280 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for making this.

so this changes the Chosen you face first, how does that work with the animation series when you get Outrider and Mox to meet

Works well. I chose the Warlock and in early game I find him much harder. But it's different so it's awesome.Thanks.
