Strategy Overhaul Bridge: Light Strategy Overhaul

Description
Intended to let Covert Infiltration's core systems work as intended while keeping stuff I like from LSO. (Or in one case, mixing the two together).

Shuts off heat-based sitreps of Lightweight Strategy Overhaul and disables research techs for reducing heat in a random continent. Also limits the benefits of a soldier adviser in a continent to additional turns on the mission timer only that scale based on soldier rank.

You gain heat reduction as an additional reward from activity chains involving raiding supply convoys and downing UFOs. There's also now a rare activity chain dedicated to removing heat when applicable.

Left Unaltered
The emergency mission for hitting max heat in a continent still occurs.

Benefits from other types of advisers are unchanged.

Penalties to supplies gained from a continent, and a chance of gaining negative traits for doing covert actions in a continent with high levels of heat still happen.

There seem to be a bug where during Operation Gatecrasher, there is no listed objectives (i.e. eliminate all forces, rescue prisoners)

However, you can still complete the unlisted objectives and progress the game as usual.

@Kinsect no, CI effectively replaces that mod in functionality when it comes to LSO,

Do we need the covert action missions mod to work alongside this mod?
while it is compatible it also says that it's discouraged for making things unbalanced

Don't suppose there's any chance this might cause a region to suddenly decide to take 157 days to make contact? Just trying to narrow down why this might happen

Does LSO still require the dependency mods with this bridge mod enabled?

I did not expect the return of RealityMachina to Xcom2 modding to feel this good.

Nice. I assume it's possible to deactivate the changes to heat system Sitreps while keeping the activity chain and tech changes??

The original LSO has Covert Action Missions as a dependency. I assume it's not really needed if it's played in CI?

Nice ! Added to the SO: Compatibility Spreedsheet. Thankyou

Freakin’ Christmas just did an encore!

I kinda expected you to switch the heat-based sitreps for heat-based infiltration speed penalties (or a bonus if lowest heat) though; is it that it would’ve been hard/impossible to implement, or that you found it too punishing?
