Draft Agents

Description
Draft Agents is an overhaul of how you start your campaign. Instead of the agent selection menu, you will instead construct your squad using a draft system similar to that used in many other games.

What does this mean exactly? Instead of picking 4 agents out of the entire roster, you will instead be presented with 3 agents to pick from, 4 times. Check out the video above to see it in action. If you get hit with three strong agents, better choose wisely. The two agents you discard will not show up in the following draft rounds.

This mod is a pretty big nerf to the player, but it also forces you to make more interesting decisions and test out strategies you might otherwise have ignored.

Draft Agents is fully compatible with mod-added agents. If you install enough to have more than 12 agents in the pool, however, some agents will not be displayed to you in any of the draft rounds.

Unfortunately, this mod overrides UIDebriefScreen because for some reason changing the character select screen breaks the investigation screen and the only way I could find to fix it was an override. Any other mods that override UIDebriefScreen will be incompatible.

Big thanks to Robojumper for helping me out with getting this mod working!

@WeeWoo they're not available for the immediate draft, that doesn't make them permanently unavailable, you can still recruit them later down the road.

What about making the ones you didn't select available at a later point in time instead of never again? I doubt anyone willing to fight like that would suddenly give up the fight & disappear if XCOM didn't pick them.

Couldn't you make it possible to select two agents at once on the first round instead of selecting one agent per round?

It looks like a good mod to have but couldn't you make it possible to re-select the agents that were discarded in the first round. To pick them again in the second round.

@NotSoLoneWolf great mod, keep up the good work!

@Patuljak its a common bug, i've had that crash 3 times during one encounter in a unmodded playthrough, had around 10 crashes where 8 where the reinfocment bug during my first complete unmodded run (finished on day 99)

Would it be possible to make the opposite of this - that you can pick every agent on every recruitment same way as at the campaign start?

@wen d(a)y's lonely

Allright, gotcha. Thanks. I'll leave the comments up in case someone will be thinking along the same lines.

@Patuljak played and finished the entire game with no mods installed whatsoever, let me tell you i crashed at least 5 crashes in a 2-3 hour span, 90% of them during reinforcements
