But what if the game migrates from OpenXCOM vanilla to OpenXCOM Extended? Will it apply to countries infiltrated during vanilla? Also, was wondering about a someone making a mod that makes it so at the end of every month, depending on XCOM vs Alien activity in an infiltrated country with no alien base, there is a chance that the country will renounce its pact with the aliens.
Was also thinking of someone doing a future mod in which to balance the liberation mod out: New Loss Condition - Too Many Countries Infiltrated
Basically if more than 50% of the total sponsors sign pacts with the aliens, the project will be terminated (because the corrupted sponsors are calling for the project to come to the end so that it won't interfere with the aliens' "work"), even if you are running a positive budget and are doing well in battling the aliens.
At the end of each month, on the summary, you'll see the message:
Message in UFO
"Many of the council's sponsors have signed secret pacts with the aliens. You must find a way to either bring the war to an end soon or liberate countries from the invaders, otherwise the project could face termination."
Message in TFTD
"Many of the committee's sponsors have signed secret pacts with the aliens. You must find a way to either bring the war to an end soon or liberate organizations from the invaders, otherwise the funding could face termination."
If by the end of the month the number of currently infiltrated countries reaches over 50%, you'll get the message, following the defeat sequence:
Message in UFO
"A majority of your sponsors have signed pacts with the aliens and unfortunately, they have voted for the council of funding nations to terminate the project. They have convinced the remaining nations to deal with the problem in the same way that they have. We can only hope that we can come to some accommodation with these alien forces, and that the general population will come to terms with the apparently hostile visitors."
