Didn`t know this was on GOG or I would`ve bought the game from there. It`s a lot easier to get patches, especially since I really don`t like Steam and I like the installer too- It`s just better. Maybe I`ll just rebuy it from there again.

wow thanks for this! I was concerned I could still hear the music of the game when I wanted to play my own music. Why haven`t they made the music silent when you want it? That`s very unusual to see in a game of this quality these days.

Hmm, I must take a look. Wish I could read an honest Dev diary regarding Rome 2`s release... But their publisher would probably sue them.

Guess I must be playing rubbish then or on too hard a difficulty, (I`m on Veteran) cos i`ve got two Alien bases on Earth asking to be attacked and I`ve failed twice trying to take them. It`s happened every game I play after the first year or so. Play on a harder difficulty, you guys are obviously just too good.

I`ve decided to rename my aircraft Boondoggle 1.

You can`t have too many maps. And changes in style shouldn`t be a problem? Unless it breaks the game mechanics. I mean buildings and landscapes aren`t all made by the same person in reality. I`ve been using Skitskos and Kabill and never noticed a difference probably because i expect to see variety around the world.

Well great. I name mine Alien Ass kicker.

Still amazing inmho.

I`m on that- works perfectly. i`m surprised people still ask this question since I`ve played pretty much every game on this system for years now (like GOG games) and even if by some fluke it don`t work Windows has the system that emulates older versions of windows, though i`ve never had to use it. p.s. Wow a Dev that offers a refund? Man, I know some companies that could learn from this ethical stance. And honest about steam too. You just done gone up 100 points in my jaded eyes! I`ll be looking to fund future games of your just because of your stance.

When it comes to Alien guns it could be that once the gun leaves the Aliens hands it immediately drops into `safety`mode. Perhaps their Tech is advanced enough to have that. Would kinda make sense too. By way, I`m a leicestershire lad too! Pleased to meet you!

It`s not utterly useless at all. I still kill many Aliens despite the turn thing. However, it is a pain since often the Alien kills one or two of my men before the `nade blows. I did wonder, though, why flashbangs and smokes went off instantly but these don`t. If it`s to avoid people killing their own men then I think that`s a little silly and perhaps listening a little too muc to whines. If I was here at the time I would have petitioned for it not to be removed and just learned to be carefully where I threw my grenade. I could certainly use the advanatge of a grenade blowing up an Alien before he killed another man! Maybe make it optional? You can`t beat options! Hey how about a Timer like with large bombs? just have a 1,2,3 second option instead.

Er... some people still don`t get that you have to take the safety off! You could point a modern gun at a guy and listen to it go `clickety click!` In some cases you need to chamber a round... So perhaps Alien weapons should take a little aforethought too.

I thought it was fair. Sometimes criticisms, no matter how politely said, will always seem aggressive when written without the verbal option. There are some weirdness` with the battle map. I must have blown up my own men several times because it`s very hard to tell if you have a clear throw and when you throw the nade lands at my men`s feet. I only every throw grenades when i have a clear space now. In this, an arrow system showing if my nade can actually make it past that wall would be helpful. I notice too that sometimes the wall does not show my men up or dropped items, even when up close- makes me want to turn the view, but I can`t. He`s right about faces too, however, as for faces and maps there are great mods that extend these greatly, like SKITSO`S! Perhaps they will be incorporated in a patch as part of the game -they should be. I really hope they will be. Love the jet-to- ufo take downs with the realistic comms, best of all the Xcoms especially the new one which had a very disasppointing boring mechanic.

Rage inducing moment! Twice I attacked an Alien base with the best I got and twice I got my ass kicked!!! That`s 10 experienced men and two tanks gone because of the spammy lucky few remaining Aliens that hide in the back room and actually hit unlike my men that can`t hit a brick wall when it matters! And the US President has just cancelled funding! Aggghhh! Back to the drawing board! Great game.

I see.
