[WOTC] ADVENT Isolation Protocol

Description
About This Mod
ADVENT operations have made it significantly more difficult to communicate with Resistance Cells around the world. The Make Contact button will now only appear when an adjacent region has a Radio Tower installed in it.

For hard mode, this ability can be disabled via config, meaning that the ONLY way to contact regions would be by using [CI] New Activity Chain: Contact New Resistance Cell and the CI Covert Action Chain it creates.

Either option will make it significantly more difficult to strategize which regions to contact and when to contact them. You have been warned.

Tweaking Contact Costs
Since this now requires Radio Towers before making contact, it may be worth the effort to tweak the base game contact costs. I have added a quick reference config for making it easier to tweak these settings if desired.

Required Mods
At this moment, nothing is actually required to make this mod work. With the addition of the ability to make contact after an adjoining Radio Tower is built now means you can use this WITHOUT needing [WOTC] Covert Infiltration.

Suggested Mods

Compatibility
  • Overrides UIStrategyMapItem_Region so as to hide the UI buttons, keeping you from making Contact the old fashioned way.

Thanks
  • RealityMachina for figuring out how to make contact via Covert Actions!
  • The Strategy Overhaul team for the greatness that is [WOTC] Covert Infiltration.
  • LeyShade for the suggestion to allow regions to be contacted via Radio Tower installation.

Love that someone exists to draw back the domination in the face of the large amounts of game buffs out there to build a truly unique experience. Thank you!

@KZFKreation In theory. If you or anyone else wants to take the time to create a variant of this mod that is Dark Event driven, feel free to reference/use as much of this mod as you need.

Would it possible to make this a dark event?

EDIT : It was not FUN omg how much difficutly this little tweak adds, thanks for the great mod and yes it's 100% okay ti use it with LWOTC even if it makes the game a pure hell lol

Thanks a lot ! Will be fun playing this with grim horizons and a ton of sitereps in legendary ironman :D

Should be LWOTC compatible, yes.

Still LWOTC compatible ? Im looking for every way possible to make the game harder as EPGO made my crew a solid band of killers ( L / I )

Neat. And that makes sense.

Just make sure you do NOT try to run the CI contact chain as well. That chain is NOT LWotC compatible.
