confirmed. In my case, no medals EVER awarded any bravery points. Are people who are watching this absolutely sure they ever got any points from medals?
I don't see how it could be inconsistent, given how simple the coding is. I suspect they simply removed all bravery bumps to make the game a bit scarier, or, maybe, they only give you bumps if your bravery is below a set level. I notice my guys that started out with 85 bravery have only gained a single point after more than 10 missions and 3 medals. Whereas, the guys that started below 60 got a bump of +4 after the first two missions.
hell, I don't seem to get bravery bumps even from getting psychically attacked while on missions.
basically, I get a bravery bump for the first couple of missions for each new guy, usually +2. after that... nada.
best I have ever gotten as a bump is +4, total, and that was after just 2 missions.
*shrug*
edit: I see what's happening. you only get a bravery bump from combat if you survived actually being in the panicked state, not from just being attacked mentally. That's something that should change; you should get a bump every time you are attacked mentally. that would pretty much fix the whole bravery too low issue.
