I'm playing a vanilla-balance game with CI and trying A Requiem For Man: Strongholds Standalone: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2909901677

This may be a mistake, because after trying it once, that mod seems balanced well above vanilla. However, it's a really interesting take on the Chosen strongholds, so I was hoping to play it. I think I could do it with 8 soldiers instead of 6.

I have a workaround which is to temporarily set m_iMaxSoldiersOnMission to 8 under the assault missions sections in XComGameData.ini in CI just before a chosen stronghold mission and set it back to 6 after the mission.

However, I see that in a couple mods, there's compatibility with CI where squad size is set to a different value. In particular, [WOTC] Leviathan Extended Squad Size lists compatibility with CI for modifying the squad size of the Leviathan mission. https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2364381878

Similar to the above, is it possible to change the assault squad size in a targeted way, only for the chosen stronghold missions? Could it be done by an ini hack (even if I have to shove CI variables into the main game ini files), or would it take scripting?

Thanks in advance, just trying to throw some things together and have fun.
