War Games

Hello everyone. While playing, I noticed that the game isn't as engaging in the later stages as it was in the beginning. Xenonauts rank are maxed out, and all the rewards have been earned. Completing missions is becoming routine. I find the large number of officers abnormal and the medal awarding in the current version of the game to be nominal. I believe that with more sophisticated micromanagement of the xenonaut squad, their rewards, and rank advancement, the game would be much more engaging. My suggestions include an even distribution of ranks within the squad relative to the total number of xenonauts, as well as more complex medal awarding criteria. I understand that the changes I've proposed are not currently relevant, as the game is not yet finished. I hope Chris and the development team will take a look at this post after the release, assuming the community supports me. Please like and comment if you find this interesting. Please note that the ranks and medals name are conditional. It is worth paying attention to the proposed ideas. ================================================ ================================================ LIST OF AWARDS FROM LOW TO HIGH: - Xenonauts Service Medal - Xenonauts Combat Wings - Xenonauts Close Combat Badges - Scarlet Heart Medal - Iron Scull Medal - Xenonauts Commendation Medal - Defense Medal - Shild of Humanity Medal - Xenonauts Distinguished Merit Medal - Medal For Bravery - Shild of Humanity Cross - Solar Medal - Star for Valor - Cross for Bravery - Solar Cross - Xenonaut Medal Of Honor ------------------------------------------------ AWARDING CRITERIA: - XENONAUTS SERVICE MEDAL For the total number of missions. 10 missions - medal. 20 missions - 1 pin to the medal. 40 missions - 2 pins to the medal. 60 missions - 3 pins to the medal - Last awarded. ---- - XENONAUTS COMBAT WINGS - Total number of enemy kills. 15 Aliens - Steel. 30 Aliens - Silver. 60 Aliens - Golden - Last awarded. ---- - XENONAUTS CLOSE COMBAT BADGES - Total number of enemy kills with melee weapons only. 10 Aliens - Steel. 20 Aliens - Silver. 40 Aliens - Golden - Last awarded. ---- - SCARLET HEART MEDAL For wounded - losing more than 50% of your health during a mission 1 wound - medal. 3 wounds - 1 pin to the medal. 6 wounds - 2 pins to the medal. 9 wounds - 3 pins to the medal - Last awarded - Hall of fame - Retirement ---- - IRON SCULL MEDAL - Sole survivor after successfully completing a mission as part of a group of at least 5 xenonauts and killing at least 1 enemies.

Hi all... The mod will update the how game release will be ready. Keep changing XML files bored. Too the frequent hot fixes. Do it all the time before the release of the game, do not see the point.

I'm sorry for any errors in my english. I use a online translator.
