Ubuntu? I'd like to have a simple game to install on my simple linux laptop.

I'm dropping 75 bucks on this xenonauts, and 60 for xcom2012. This is Beginning to get a bit expensive...

EEEEeeek! But yeah, as long as they're tastefully put in the game, and frown and scowl just like their male brethren, I'd love for female soldiers to be put in the game.

Because Awesome.

Honestly, the big difference between Xenonauts and the upcoming XCOM-Alien Unknown (to me) is the emphasis on reality and cold war era tech and mindsets. I'd love to add additional strategy into the game by grappling with political forces during the cold war. My idea... (not nearly as well thought out and explained as your ideas, thothkins. Bravo by the way, on all those excellent ideas) ... is basically that the Xenonauts can be absorbed by a country or multi-national force, and gain and lose perks by doing so. So, say, Xenonauts becomes part of NATO. They will gain monetary and military funds, but lose soldiers, supplies, tech, and info from Warsaw pact countries. Or, Xenonauts can become part of an individual countries' force, such as, say, the USSR or East Germany. They will gain even more funds from that country of origin, more so that if they were to join, say, the Warsaw Pact, but will lose access to cutting edge equipment, soldiers, and info from friendly nations for "security reasons". I think it would match with the spirit of Xcom, because you will never be able to have everything (use of both the sputnik satellite program and NSA satellites would be impossibly useful, but politically unattainable) but will be deprived of the best toys if you stay independent.

Suddenly I starting thinking about ID4... Never a good sign. Anyway, a fun alternate Win/Loss idea would be to nuke the earth. If we can't have it, neither can they!

Civilians with molotovs... That would be cool.

I can't help but feel that the female characters breasts are oddly prominent on the uniform, almost in spite of themselves. The weird flatness of the sternum area amplifies this problem. Guess what boys? I think that the uniform (especially with the body armor on) should sort of blend chest heights of both the male and female soldiers, as to make them roughly the same height. For instance, would you mistake this soldier for a man? At any range?

I'm more excited about the soviet city tilepack, and made me start thinking about a "south american" tile pack, or "asian city" tilepack. So much work, but would add so much environment to say, Terror missions. Aliens attacking Tokyo would feel like aliens attacking Tokyo. Or say, Rio.
