Progressive Defense MP

@Alsekwolf Potentially! I've been wanting to give this mission an overhaul for the longest time and all this new EW stuff might give me the motivation to do so

Could you update this with some slots for F45?

A lot of experimentation lol. Here's a quick overview of how these progressive waves work, if you wanted to make something similar:

- Inside an event sequence, there's an if/else block with 5 if-statements that look at a global value of how many waves have passed. Each if-statement represents a "difficulty level."

- There's an if/else block inside each of the 5 if-statements, unique to each "difficulty level," that spawns a random combo of enemy groups. The higher the "difficulty level," the more groups are spawned, while some alt-spawns are forced to give the enemy certain tactics (SEAD, terrain-hugging paths, radar "jamming", etc.).

- <40 enemy units exist, but they each have ~5 alt-spawns, with their own behavior, loadout, and goal.

- Waves will go on forever, but there is a difficulty ceiling. Make sure the ramp-up in difficulty is slow enough that losing the city isn't too sudden, but fast enough for a fun pace that doesn't feel repetitive (this is the hardest part!)

just... how in gods name did you do this

How what?
