Mod Idea - Use Intel for bonuses on all missions

Mod Request

I must not be the only one that thought it was really cool to be able to spend intel for special bonuses that lasted the entire mission at the end of the game. I think it would be pretty interesting to extend that capability to some/all missions. While it might be a bit power creep-y, it is partially balanced by the fact that your pool of intel is limited, causing this to stretch it even more.

I think this is a good idea. Although maybe it shouldn't be made as strong as in the antenna mission, so you'd need to think up other rewards to buy. One could be that the shadow chamber doesn't automatically tell you who exactly you'll be facing. Instead you can spend like 5-10 intel to acquire that info. Maybe make it possible to buy it before the shadow chamber too, but then the price will be 10x higher because reliable info is much harder to get.

Yeah I posted a thread like this as well. It seems so odd that they built this system and only used it this singular time in the campaign. Definitely seems like something the whole game could benefit from.

Limit it to one bonus per mission and it should be good to go.

would be nice if you could make it harder to gain Intel as well. maybe dark events for just that mission.
