Summary	0027831: Data relationships on game start or if missing: cohort partners.
Description	This is to happen very early in the game, during that initial setup phase. For the main cohorts of type CorporationAdministration, we basically should have a list of "who do I call when I'm in trouble or want something done" for a few categories: CultMyPeopleAreMostLikeToFollow: Cult tag CultICallForHelp: Cult tag FavoriteLawFirm: LawFirm tag BackupLawFirm: LawFirm tag MedicalHelpSource: MedicalPractitioner tag ScienceHelpSource: ScienceLab tag PrimaryPMC: ParamilitaryContractor tag BackupPMC: ParamilitaryContractor tag FavoriteInvestigator: PrivateInvestigator tag BackupInvesgitator: PrivateInvestigator tag I suggest that we have a new CohortAllyType table, which defines those various roles, so that this can all be data driven. The cohorts would then basically say "find me an appropriate ally with that tag that is actually in the game" a little bit after game startup.

Draco18s May 3, 2023 2:37 pm manager ~0067664	Added new CohortAllyType table and cohort type AllyType to CohortTag so cohorts can figure out which bucket to look in when determining who to call when there's something strange in the neighborhood (Ghostbusters).
