Council With A Chance of Resistance Ops

Instead of frontloading the campaign with 3 Resistance Ops and then switching to Council Ops, randomizes whether a particular Op should be Resistance or Council.

This means you get less bonus soldiers early on, so it can make early game harder. If you feel getting more chances of ranked up soldiers later on is unbalanced, I've included an option to make the additional soldiers from Lost Expedition/Rescue Survivors always be rookies.
If you are also using Allies Unknown, and the Res Op comes from the faction introduced by that mod, the bonus soldiers will be Alien ones instead of regular soldiers.

As the primary goal is to spice up early game, I've also added a couple config options to unshackle the first Res Op from always giving a scientist and never being Swarm Defense. The first Council mission will still be a scientist, because altering Council Mission spawning is beyond the scope of this mod.

Ignores the base game's limitation to the maximum number of Res Ops.
Will only affect missions spawned after adding it to the game. Missions already on the hologlobe will be unaffected.


Works by replacing the Resistance Op Mission Source's SpawnMissionsFn, so it will be incompatible with other mods that do so. can't think of any atm tho.
This also means that it will only apply to missions spawned by the Res Op Mission Source. Missions spawned by the Council Op Source won't be converted to Res Ops.
