Based on the comments i assume its not "install mid campaign" free

Just wanna point to Lute the Goblin's comment on the bug, and say this is happening with me too. Especially blatant since if you do Lost and Abandoned, Pratal Mox is forever awaiting rescue. And the Assassin comments on the rescue, even though she's been long dead. Even worse for me, since I renamed and did cosmetic work on original Mox, what is in the roster list js a gray, nameless, statless entry that cannot be dismissed.

anyone knows if this works still in 2024? got a hero captured, waited till new month and didnt show up to resuce (but recruiting a new one appeared), do i have to refresh again the next month for the covert op to show up?

Update: HE CAME HOME!!! Weirdly enough, he was the VIP in a VIP Extraction mission. I'm playing WOTC, so I thought for sure I'd get him back via Covert Actions.

I had my best Ranger get captured during some VIP rescue mission because of the "Left Behind" Dark Event that gives a chance for soldiers to randomly get captured during a mission. So I installed this mod a bit later into the playthrough (about 2 or 3 in-game months later) in hopes of getting him back. So I installed it, waited for the new monthly reset, and no rescue mission.
I don't know how or why, but I think he's straight-up gone forever.

To rub salt on the wound, I saved him to my character pool, and he frequently shows up on the main menu. It's my headcanon that he broke out of prison and is trying to find his way back to us. Problem is, we're in a Helicarrier, and he's on foot. The war will be over by the time he finally gets to us.

The game treats the two characters as being one entity in all ways, so I can;t even dismiss them or let them die on a mission. I have to either have both or neither on my roster.

I've narrowed a bug down to this mod.
Every rescue mission I unlock all involve rescuing the same characters. I now have the same character twice because I rescued her twice. Seems like this mod didn't take into account that there may already BE a mission to save a soldier and it just replicates new ones over and over again until one of them is completed. Then the other missions stay until you complete them.

@Lûte the Goblin
The last update to the mod was more than 4 years ago. I think they've moved on.

Try a binary search, it's surprisingly quick.

Is this added to existing covert actions, or does it replace? I.e., do you get 2 extra covert actions or the same number you always would?

Is this safe to add to a running save?

Does not work with LWOTC.

Any one know if this works with Long war of the chosen

Is there a way to apply this effect to custom factions (Especifically Rising Tides, The program)?

Thank you!
Absolutely must have. I was always wondering, towards endgame, if somebody gets captured, but I have a network of contacts all over the place... how come I cannot find them? This works well, and it seems there is a ''cooldown'' period of some sorts, also it took a while for the mission to appear, very nice. Not just - first month here you go, save everybody!

I won`t be banned for those mods?

I am having a bit of an issue with this. I am getting the covert action but its coming up with troops I have never recruited and the ones I did actually have captured are not showing up.

do i still need to download the required mods if i have More Faction Heroes Per Faction mod installed?

Is this a bugfix or just a change?

@EZzy
That's the dumbest question I've seen in a long while

Just finished a campaign with about 280 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for making this.

?? Maybe have a look at the "required DLC" section to the right there >>>

Hey, can this mod apply to WOTC also? One of my strongest soldier got captured...

This is great. I haven't tested the part about captured soldiers yet but it's nice to know that I'm not completely reliant on good luck to get more than one of each type of hero class. Current campaign I have 2 of each now.

@UK_John All soldier rescue missions are scripted to alert Advent when you've reached the soldier you've rescued. The mod has nothing to do with that, and even a 100% hack won't prevent it.

Any chance this mod can also FORCE the prepare rescue (CovertAction_PrepareRescue) from https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1123382166 this mod, if the Alien HQ has captured soldiers too :) :) ??

@UK_John
this mod doesn't touch the mission AFAIK

I literally just had my first regular soldier rescue. My only other example was saving Mox. In that rescue, the alarms went off when i picked up the prisoner.In this mod, despite getting 100% on cancelling alarms, the alarms went off and Advent activated.There was no way I was going to save the soldier without losing a higher level soldier, so I left. Why does this mod not recognise you have hacked the door opening AND the alarms off?! A waste of 20 mins and very frustrating!

it crashes when i try to rescue a unit

yah does anyone know the answer to operati0n-x's question. I am subed to the recruit any number of faction units mod and have already changed the number maximum to 8. But I am only getting reapers.

What exactly do you mean by "if their rewards are available"? For some reason I'm not getting the covert to recruit more templars. It's only working for reapers and skirmishers. I already have 3 reapers and 2 skirmishers. But I only have 1 templar and I progressed through several months and never got a covert for extra templars. And just to put it out there, I started with the reapers faction. But I don't that matters because I can recruit more skirmishers.

Crowley, for me works perfect, but I am using also:

It's what I'm saying, it only give multiple heroes for one faction, not for all factions, and it seems to depend of which one you selected/started with. So it's sort of a bug report I'm doing for RealityMachina

Well so far I have 3 Templars, but One Reaper and One Skermisher.

@DeadMarine1980 But as it works with Recruit Multiple Heroes from ALL factions, it shouldn't just let you recruit multiple heroes from the first faction you started with.

It only lets you recruite multiple faction soldiers with only the first faction you started with.

For a strange reason, the Recruit faction soldier only pop for the faction I'm allied with (actually the Squirmishers). I recruited already three and I have a mission for recruiting a fourth one, tho for the Reaper and Templar, the Recruit mission never appeared a single time, and I have the Multiple faction heroes mod activated. Any help?

Hey man, wondering if rescue's will ALWAYS pop with this mod? Or is it still chance based in the background? Not sure if that makes sense. But in my current campaign, someone was captured, but we haven't had the rescue option show up.

If I add

if(Template.DataName == 'CovertAction_ResistanceOrder')
{
Template.bForceCreation = true;
}

Will that force resistance order missions to populate the rest of the list?

Couldn't get a rescue soldier mission to show up, but all the recruit heroes actions did. Is this because my troops were captured by advent on a capture VIP mission? I didn't get my guys out by the end of the timer so they were all captured that way.

@Dragon32
That's the one.

@Agent Coxack:
Sounds like you mean ADVENT Avenger's "Fortress Includes Frost Immunity"

Necropost, sorry about this!

I found out the mod clashes horribly with another mod, and removing it makes this mod work fine.

The other mod was "Fortress Includes Frost" or something. The guy did post a manual fix but... yeah.

Ah, the risk of Capture actually shows up on the Covert Ops screen? LOL, I am so inattentive. I never even noticed that! ;)

@Lampros Whenever the risk of Capture is on a Covert Op, I don't take it if it cannot be avoided. Whenever the Chosen appear I group my soldiers just close enough to ensure they can't all be hit by one Daze attack but can respond and rescue someone who has been Dazed already.

I take care of my brave soldiers.

Agent Coxack,

How is it possible to prioritize avoiding capture? Is that not pure RNG?

Despite having both this and RMHFA (RumPha?) I don't get the extra missions. I never lose a soldier to Capture since that's priority 1 for me, so I don't know if they trigger, but I only seem to ever be able to recruit from the same cell I first met (in my case, Skirmishers). Strangely, the limit behind them (I've set "MaxHeroesPerFaction" to 4) seems to do nothing. I've had 8 Skirmishers with no other Faction Heroes (bar the starters). Just wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue.

GiveFactionSoldier. Gives 1 Reaper, 1 Skirmisher, and 1 Templar :)

It's a crying shame the Devs didn't patch this in along with their fixes for the Fall 2017 update :(

@RedCrow Thanks for the info! Maybe I should reduce the number of max heroes to 4 so I can get the others faster

@Cahos Rahne Veloza I have the other mod too. In fact, I had the other mod before I had this one
