tirlimpimpim Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Rightfully redirected by Max_Caine, I post this issue here: One issue with medals is that some of my guys stopped receiving them after 20 kills and 30 mission, though some (most actually) have ~49missions and over 30 kills - need more medals for my heroes!

Max_Caine Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Well, what would you propose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirlimpimpim Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 If you allow me to be Captain Obvious, the I suggest more medals! Oh and maybe a significant bravery boost to the rookies after the first alien kill - like they know they can do IT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirlimpimpim Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 OK, sorry, I think you edited your original post, so now the flow is somewhat broken. The main reason is progress and the feeling of achievement. Maybe it's just because I'm an RPG fan, levelling up is a very motivational and involving process. And while strength of the soldiers can be upped easily, bravery is way more tricky. Awarding medals for participation and achievements is a great concept, though not as robust in game mechanics as other skills. I mean after say 50 missions and 30 kills one would expect a solder to be a real bad ass, not just meagre +10 points ahead of a rookie, while he has double TU, accuracy and strength.

Max_Caine Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 No, I haven't edited it. There's no "edited by xxxx at xxx time.". Let me ask my question another way. When a squaddie reaches God Tier, what kind of medal would you award him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirlimpimpim Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 I would prefer Thor or Shiva - the destroyer of worlds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoGomez Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Haha, Shiva would be epic. But only awarded at a very very very high point. And it should award a pretty decent bravery bonus, I think, like 10 (that's a big number compared to the others, but remember, this guy feels invincible, and he's proved that he basically is by getting that good.)

thothkins Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 would there be a corresponding morale disaster if your invincible soldier got hit by a plasma caster and turned into a smear that may leave an stain so invincible that the cleaners will never remove it?

GizmoGomez Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I think so, yeah. I mean, it makes sense. Plus, it'd balance it a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
