Yes. In ground combat i have no problem, but I dont know how they are numbered

I loved 93-2004. Now the games are all short, cloned and repetitive. I've started with the first Doom. Other fantastic games for me was: Doom I & II Wolfenstain Duke Nukem Quake I & II Ufo: Enemy Unknown Dune 2000 Sim City Descent Warcraft Bomberman Age of Empires X-COM Apocalipse Thief I, II The elder scroll: Morrowind Baldur's Gate: Shadows of Amn Gothic I & II Diablo I & II The Curse of Monkey Island GTA C&C: Red Alert Medal of Honor Unreal Unreal Tournament Half Life Battlefild 1942 Max Payne Serious Sam Deud Ex Mafia Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines Over 2004 i only appreciate: Far Cry Fallout 3 Assassin's Creed Medieval II: Total War F.E.A.R. Mass Effect Risen Over 2004 games become a copy of each other, and most of the sequel (Far Cry 2, Max payne 2, Gothic 3, Duke Nukem Forever) were a flop for me. Playing a game today is like to playing 20. Same ideas, no story feelings becouse today nobody plays in single player, but they prefer multiplayer: so why to spend resource to create a beautiful story when all prefer multiplayer? Indeed the 5 games I have quoted earlier was the only, in my opinion, which had a fascinating story. I want again a game like Thief, Max Payne, Deus Ex, X-COM Apocalipse (What is doing 2K?), whit a real story, but probably i have to wait a long time. Now I'm waiting Diablo III and Mass Effect III..and i'm hoping..

Numbering of soldiers is wrong. I have double numbers of soldiers. Also in the soldiers menù one of this is not counted as UNASSIGNED as you can see in this image.

When you have a negative money balance you can't dismiss scientist or technician clicking on HIRE button. Only if you have a positive money balance you can.

When you try to destroy wall from the outside having a soldier in proximity of it you can do that. If you try the same thing from the inside this is not possible, but if you are a point away you can. Furthermore you can destroy the wall by shooting over the wall being in proximity of it. If you shoot to a wall from short distance with a machinegun always you hit one point earlier (visible in the ground; this only appear when you are inside a building), if you use a m16 this not happen (but a bullet go in the ground anyway). If you shoot from the inside to outside through a window with a machinegun the soldier die, probabily becouse he hit the ground where he is (bug already reported in masterbug thread). However if you shoot from the outside to the inside through a window the soldier don't die becouse his bullet don't hit the ground. You can try it in all ground mission.

Have the same problem of Amiga4ever. I researched: Allenium Alien Alloys Alien Alloy Fabrication Alien Power Source Alien Navigation Plasma Pistol Plasma Rifle Never saved or loaded a game during a research. Now i don't find nothing more. I have done three missions, but i don't obtain other tech. Any suggestion?

I mean use a box like this in green in this image

So it's not a bug I thought all UFOs give a crashsite and instead I was wrong. So these types of UFOs will not be necessary to recover alien technology useful for the production of better aircraft. Sounds strange.

I'm not able to crash fighters UFO. Always I destroy it. I have used also only machineguns, but the crash site never appear. Think this trouble is not reported yet.

I have 70 scientist unassigned, but i only hired 35. I have two laboratory that have -35/100 of space used. Here is a savegame. edit: I just see that this bug was already reported. The only news seems to be the value of -35/100 of space used in laboratory.

I played for about 2 hours at this release and I want to express you my impressions. I have not read much in the forum, only the titles of the tread due to lack of time, so if some arguments were to be repeated I apologize in advance. I have divided my impressions into classes, to facilitate both my understanding and your. My english is not good so if something is not clear I' ll try to give you a better explanation START MENU - Words are too small in the initial screen (new Commence operation etc. ..) This is an aesthetic opinion. I do not think it makes sense to have words so small. This also applies to the description of the equipment in the troops menu. Slightly increase the character. - Game options: Divide the various options for audio, video, games, etc. as in many common games - Iron Man mode: First I would like to know what is the actual difference between veteran and insane. If the difference is only in this option, then the insane level can be removed and leave the choice of this option for those who want it. If there are differences I have a proposal. In this mode saves are created only in special events. This may be ok at the beginning where the missions are relatively simple, but going forward things get complicated, and the unexpected increase. I would suggest putting a limit of saves, for example 1 (maybe 2 are too many) in the tactical map so you do not have to go crazy if something goes wrong at the last alien. Another important thing: it would be better that there are at least two or three autosaves, not to benefit the player, but to prevent data loss. Try to think if, arrived at mid-game, after going mad in every mission, suddenly the game crashes and the only autosave is corrupt ... I think that the keyboard and the monitor would fly out the window. An even more insane option: create 2 / 3 copies of the same savegame, so that a player can not use the previous autosave if he makes a mistake. GEOSCAPE - Spherical Geoscape: I still think that a spherical Geoscape is the best solution. In fact, allows you to have more screen space to place the various buttons and put them larger. Also missing the two most important regions: the North Pole and South Pole Have 2 bases at those positions allow you to cover a large part of the airspace from different continents, which translates into more money per month, for the most interceptions in the area. -Some islands are absent: Another thing I've always liked is the ability to build bases on remote islands, but in strategic positions, because having a base in an island far away from civilization is very addictive -Add more capital: Whether for a more realistic visual effect (It may also be instructive) and for another thing I have in mind: Terror mission. In the old UFO these missions were very difficult, but that could be fruity much money and items for the research. I do not know if this kind of mission is already implemented but if it were not it would be a great loss. At most you can put an option like for the iron man mode. - Mouse cursor: I really do not like. I would prefer something like triangle, and it more accurately BASE -Possibility to choose the layout of the buildings in the first base: This is not really a problem but an aesthetic and functional factor. I like to have all the hangar on the one hand and residential areas from another and not all mixed up. Also I do not know if it is the case with this game but in X-com Apocalypse, for example, you had to keep a 2x2 space for advanced lab and other construction. - More slots of construction: This idea is part of a larger project. I thought it would be nice to build defensive installations against both aliens and UFOs, just like in X-COM Apocalypse. It would also be useful to build missiles stations in base, which directly attack the UFOs that are in the radar beam (of course, the missiles will have cost both of maintenance and production). This is because I thought that you could insert the squadrons of UFOs (6-7 or +). This way you can give support to aircraft TATTICS - Increase the size of the HUD tactics: I have seen the V2 and is very nice. The only thing I would tend to expand it to the sides because the keys are too small - Use the wheel to zoom and not to change soldiers -Soldiers lying: I do not think descriptions serve. It is simply a feature that increases the realism and increases your chances of hitting and not to be hit - If there is no line of fire prevent to shoot : This thing is quite annoying. I'd rather appear a message that says "no line of fire" instead of misfire - If there is a mate in the line of fire I would like to know the probability of hit: If I have to risk I prefer to know how much. -A box to select the soldiers: I have found some difficulty in selecting the troops and this seems like a good solution for resolve the problem - Zoom and rotation of the map: This feature seems very useful. Being able to zoom and rotate around an enemy trying to guess what is his line of fire and what is ours, to see if a soldier is effectively covered or not. - Being able to throw objects to soldiers: this concerns mainly the grenades. You need a grenade and the soldier does not have it. No problem, a mate throw you, pick up and you're done. Increase the realism and also the tactical possibilities in impossible situations. -Cancel the selection of an action by right-clicking on a random point of the map: I think it's really necessary - The grenades have a percentage of stun: It seems to me to be realistic - Unit bleeding: The medkit has never been used because the soldiers die with one shot or because no one bleeds to death after a stroke. I believe it is critical for the realism. - Being able to see the shooting percentages after first making a move: This is useful for control of the situation. An alien is located. There are 3 units that may attack it, but they must move. It would be nice to be able to see over the alien which is the percentage of fire and if after the movement can affect. That way if you can hit, you go out into the open, if not go into cover. AIRCRAFT - Experience of the pilots: The damage and the ability to deflect shots depends on the experience of pilots - The mig can use 2 machineguns: It seems absurd that this aircraft should mount only missiles. The use of machineguns could be less damaging UFOs and allowing a greater recovery of objects - Possible slot for adding objects: Without copying the strange objects of X-COM Apocalypse could use additional fuel, additional machinegun or more ammunition. Maybe going on in the game you can add shields or other devices. UFOs - Squadrons: UFOs moving in squadrons and go to bomb cities or other areas. Ballistic missiles become an excellent resource against these events and also you have more tactical missions and may have cash rewards if the whole squad is shot down, vice versa, if the squadron accomplishes its goal. - UFO landing: This is another important element in my opinion. In the old UFO this was the best way to get technology and not risk the aircraft even if the tactical mission was in hell. This refers to the possibility of damaging the UFO at different levels. - Damage to buildings, UFOs, the ground during the crash: seems to me realistic and it was already implemented in ufo old. Here I have not seen it but I do not know if it's because it's an alpha version. In my opinion, essential. Choose to use machine guns to hurt less UFOs and have more technology, however, risking aircraft. - Alien Bases: I wonder why the aliens can not have bases on earth. Maybe the same could be UFO landing. Increase the realism, the number of missions and technology we can capture. TROOPS AND WEAPONS -Adding weapons mods: (silencers, scopes etc.): a little difficult to implement, but which would give a great realism. It would also increase the number of researches to be done to develop weapons mod. -Slot for helmet mods: night vision, infrared, anti psy more. For example, in the missions in the dark the night vision device can be much more useful than the flare that I have ever used. - Shoulder slots: 2 slots for add grenades for each shoulder ( 4 granades in total) and decrease the weight of HE to 0.5 kg or less. -Add a button to remove all the equipment of a soldier or to all soldiers: -Add the ability to give everyone the same equipment -Being able to mount the type of ammunition chosen: I do not know if it's a bug, but I can not load the launcher with the anti-tank ammunition BUGS - The tactical map does not scroll down if you move the mouse - You cannot overwrite saves in the Geoscape - Soldiers sometimes do not get stuck when it detects an enemy -The last alien alive never moves from his position ( must search for it and kill) I hope I was understandable and not to have wasted your time in reading this long post. Let me know what you think.
