This game is great. Been playing it for 6 hours now, and Fireaxis really had nailed it. The only real criticism I have is that soldier classes are assigned at random, and it seems to love giving me Support which is the least useful.
I'm glad someone gets how hard image editing is (I work a graphics mod for another game, I understand these things).
Anyway great to see more mods coming about, will have to try this out.
A small recommendation: would it be possible to shrink the portraits of the Xenonauts down to their normal size in the mission report screen? As it is it seems the portrait size is too large and that leads to tearing of the picture.
Never took them on a mission. I tend not to since I like my soldiers getting experience. Only start using them if I have enough empty slots due to KIAs.
