[Suggestion] ExecutionOdds scaling factor

[NuclearStudent]

I'd like to have a measure of control over the pacing of my own game, so I've editted all the executionOdds of the various missions down by a third, to reduce the total number of missions by about a third.

If possible, it would be enormously convenient if there were a way to automatically set a scale (ie. from 0.1 to 1) for all executionOdds at the beginning of a campaign.

Thank you for your consideration.

Would this be difficulty based or just an overall value? (mostly out of curiosity)

This feature can be useful for normal game, but will ruin most mods. Doubt.

I agree... Though I guess it would be a useful tool for testing.
And probably not more breaky than, say, aggressive retaliations.

I manually adjusted the executionOdds for an X-Files game. Dunno if I did it correctly, but my game seems to be working fine and without egregious balance issues.

I suppose the crucial part is "manually".

Do I really need to comment on this?

No... I'll just say Meri Xmas everyone!

as in, I tweaked literally all the values by hand, which I am never doing again

I think the message was that after changing those values you are basically playing a completely different game, not XcomFiles anymore.

Modders tweak those values very carefully, and don't want players to change them.

As stand alone modifier, for me this is useless but as script it could have future. When I have some time I will add some option to alter `ExecutionOdds`.

Hey, I've made the script, which lets you regulate events frequency. You can check it here:
