More Starting Resistance Order Cards

Description
Just what it says on the tin - Increases the number of Resitance Order Cards you get when you first meet each faction.

vanilla gives you 2.
this by default increases that to 4.
this can be changed in the XComGameData.ini config file.

each faction has a potential 17 (or 18 for skirmishers) cards, but you also get some from improving influence, covert ops and continent bonuses. I don't know what the highest "safe" value is.

there's also an optional bit in the config which will give each faction +1 card slot.

I set the number of cards given when meeting a faction to 20. That didn't give me all the cards of that faction, but it did give me most of them. A few new orders missions still showed up in subsequent months. But some of the missions to hunt chosen didn't reward cards.

Your solution works great for LWOTC Waifu Age, thanks for the tip.

This mod didn't work for me with LWOTC (no wonder, it's from 2018). Changing ini files directly and in the mod itself didn't work. Turns out LWOTC mod overrides any of the changes done by this mod AND made in config folder. My guess is it's based on mod load order. If you want to change the number of orders for LWOTC go to LWOTC mod configs in AML, select XComGameData.ini and change "StartingCardSlots" and "NumCardsOnMeet" as required.

Also I forgot it only works on a new game.

For anyone who think this doesn't work it's just this game being euro jank tier. Most mod configs get ignored on new generated and you must edit the ini files in your documents/games/xcom/wotc/xcomgamedata folder. And then change +NumCardsOnMeet=4 in that file to. This is because some config will be generated only off the vanilla files.

This "by default" does not work. You literally have to change the values in the .ini file.

For anyone editing their steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1578816491\Config\XComGameData.ini make [XComGame.XComGameState_ResistanceFaction] retains it's NumCardsOnMeet value above 0. If you set it to zero, the initial meeting via Covery Ops will read "Days Remaining 0" and then "Days Remaining -1" as time passes.

This doesn't work for me, and that makes me sad. :(

I mean: you don't need to change the numbers, just uncomment them, yeah?

Using the XCOM2 alternative mod launcher, but same function: highlight the mod, hit the config tab, and use the dropdown menu to select xcomgamedata.ini -- and just uncomment both of those last two lines so the specific factions all get 3 slots?
