Potentials

Added some war chronicles to XCOM, giving them ranked soldier potential. They might learn to be effective alien killers, they might become major cowards who want to go home the second they see someone bleeding. Sometimes they may only work for people they like.

Once the mission is completed, the potential is assigned to the soldier if they meet the grade requirements and they have not yet been assigned a potential final mission.

Level requirements are:

Squaddie's first potential for soldiers. (This is mainly to support that it is positive most of the time).

The sergeant is the second potential of the soldier.

And mainly the third potential for soldiers.

Potential comes in two flavors, the default setting, Normal, which mainly does things like stat boosts, and the "Extreme" variant which has more mechanical changes.
