    instruments kill people? I guess that's what they mean by Disco Inferno....

    You could rename them thunderbolt and lightning, but I think you'll find it very, very frightening.

    It's about hunting?! I feel like an idiot for having Foxtrot, Tango, Cha Cha and Charleston now...

    We have an off topic sub-forum?! I feel....segregated. Next, I'll have to actually play the game. Where will it end? With pitchforks and flaming torches, that's where! The thread did start back when civilians would habitually commit suicide by walking into flames. It's quite clearly mentioned on post number...ah...gosh..we've been busy here...um... Actually, I wonder if Xenophobia has pitchforks and flaming torches. I'd ask, but I'm in the huff that the flame-tiff didn't come to this thread where such things belong...

    There were other applicants for that job. But they found performing the task, while bleeding profusely from unexpected multiple gun shot wounds too tough. Wimps! You don't see the Commissar hesitate because of a little spilled syrup!

    Has he left the Chinook yet? A real problem for li'l thothkins after the first couple of missions in the OG play throughs.

    I'm sure the authorities would take a dim view about Chris visiting the roller coaster of feels.

    Bringing in those new looms has resulted in the beginnings of a luddite movement. Do you :- a) bribe the local judge to mete out harsh sentences such as execution and deportation on a large group as a deterrent? b) build a secret room in your mill and hope for the best? c) lower working conditions yet further as a "punishment" and let peer pressure eradicate the movement. d) ensure that only children can use your new loom. They are easier to control and you can pay them less! Yes! It's Dark Satanic Mill Manager! A Game with a lot of (moral) depths, but a low life expectancy...just like the workforce!

    Why go to a dealer, when you can get unprocessed pure pithykins here? ...for a price..... of 1 ...billion.. actually an almond slice usually works...

    >turns to row of gorgeous pouting babes< Sorry ladies. It would be wrong of you to plead SoloA to add to the mod. He'll do it if time and inclination allows. Now, put the baby oil away and come away from the thread...

    >dusts off memory cell< I'd agree with that. No player wants to see their grizzled veteran soldier outclassed by someone who hasn't ever left the gym. It was a similar-ish argument to bringing in new recruits with higher stats too. Here's my take on it from way back where I was giving a very broad scattershot approach to it all; more to increase squad diversity than creating super soldiers. If I was good there should hopefully be links to other ideas there too. http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/3916-Training-Skills-Revisited?highlight=training

    I can't imagine why anyone would forget about this thread

    zzz did some lovely aliens that I think have made it into a more recent mod and I've seen the weapons around here... I played a terror mission with 20+ of zzz's aliens on it and a queen and it was great fun. To have the actual map would be great, and would also add a lot to industrial maps generally (possibly making decent use of the base facility assets too).

    I was booked onto a training course for pithy forum responses...but it was scrapped I was hoping the training would find it's niche in the game as it may have led to any number of specialisations. But the resources really needed to be used elsewhere and it just never seemed to get any momentum behind it.

    Enlarge the Cydonian pyramids so that there can be some corridors inside, and add walkways on the second floor between pyramids. An alien pyramid system in a desert map....Then add reapers... still like a ...

    Or if the problems of the engine had been really known about before things got too far.

    It didn't take me long to prefer the 2d map. From being able to see everything without rotating the globe round to the aesthetic link between it and the generals on the main menu. I thought that not having an Antarctic base would be a pain, but the game's altered economy meant that it really didn't amount to an issue. My resources were tied up elsewhere all the time. Gauddlike has already pointed out the real map mock-ups and it's much better the way it is. The game pays it's homage to X-Com and didn't really take much form Apocalypse.
