This is 100% a bug, because if I shoot the soldier with gunfire, only a single Chryssalid emerges. Using grenades causes THREE to emerge.

Three from one body is surely not intended.

More and more of them kept hatching from a single zombie soldier, in a very strange staggered timing. The only odd thing was that the soldier in question took multiple melee hit from the Chryssalid during the alien turn to kill. I assume that's where the bug stems from.

You say cheese... but Commander difficulty is incredibly punishing. I think I would be taking immense casualties without extensive smoke use. UFO #1 started with a whopping 15 aliens! I can't even imagine how crowded late game Battleships or Dreadnaughts will become at this difficulty. Can't wait to find out. =D Also, there is a bug with the HEVY Smoke Launcher. When you reload it, it will sometimes CTD Crash to Desktop. Very annoying, especially if I'm running 4 or more HEVY Smokers. https://steamcommunity.com/app/538030/discussions/3/3820782448890684521/

It has the potential for a full pacifist run.

I thought this weapon was silly at first, but it is the ultimate UFO assault weapon. Firing smoke rounds causes enemies to be suppressed, ruins their accuracy, and knocks them out.

I thought smoke was silly, but then I realized it was causing knock out damage... and I went all in on that. Needless to say, enjoying the Demo a lot, looking forward to paid release soon!
