	~~In every mission that's not either timed evac or "kill them~~ all", ~~strong 8 units reinforcements will start dropping each turn a number of~~ turns after the ~~squad breaks concealment~~ and~~/or completes~~ the mission ~~objective~~. These "doom reinforcements" serve as a soft timer to force the player to eventually evac from the mission. The ~~number of turns before~~ doom ~~reinforcements show up is based solely on~~ the difficulty level.		Sabotage Monument, Facilities, Blacksite, and Forge all have a hidden Doom Reinforcement Timer. They all work differently. For Sabotage Monument, it activates when you break Concealment, and gives you 20 turns before triggering the RNF Timer (at legend difficulty). For Facilities, it is 35 turns after breaking concealment. On the Blacksite and Forge missions the timer begins at the start of the mission, and are 45 and 50 turns respectively.
			These "doom reinforcements" serve as a soft timer to force the player to eventually evac from the mission.
			The table below shows how the doom timer for the Sabotage Monument mission changes with regards to difficulty level.

	Enemy reinforcements generally come at more or less regular intervals based on ADVENT Alert Level (strength) in the region. Some missions have higher Alert Level than others and this added Alert will affect reinforcements. LW uses a "reinforcement bucket" to control when reinforcements appear during a mission. It starts at 0 and start filling each turn even if your squad is in concealment~~(it is patched to reduce stealth mission)~~. Each turn, a value based on Alert Level is added to the bucket. When the bucket reaches 1, a new wave of reinforcements will drop and the bucket is reduced by 1 (excess points above 1 will start filling the new bucket).

	Any ADVENT or Alien unit can be part of a reinforcement pod. Alien pods will teleport rather than drop to the area. It's perfectly possible to have ~~Crysalid~~ Hive ~~Queen~~ or Sectopods as part of the stronger reinforcements. Reinforcements will grow in stronger with each wave. They start slightly stronger than in vanilla and end much, much stronger.		Any ADVENT or Alien unit can be part of a reinforcement pod. Alien pods will teleport rather than drop to the area.
