Huzzah for Steam! Now waiting eagerly and patiently for the linux version to pop up

alright awesome I'll give that a shot

I am running into some weird issues. The version I get off desura is only version 14, even though it shows 17 being available, and when I try the separate download link on the forum, I can download the deb file, but it gives an error that it is not a valid archive. I am on Kubuntu 12.10, 32 bit. Anyone run into this issue?

Right click on the civvie and "give order" would be the simplest probably. In theory there could be a menu here, but Im not sure what else might be in there.

We won't stand for this human aggression! We tried to simply show them the error of their ways, with limited, surgical strikes, but rampant human militarism will engulf our solar system, if we do not take immediate action. Enlist your clone now!

Could do something like 25% chance of the bleeding reducing 1 point, 25% chance of increasing 1 point, 50% of bleeding the same amount as last turn. Injury might get more aggravated, or it might be just a temporary thing.

that and odds are if it runs on Ubuntu, it has a good chance of running just fine on Debian too.

see, that would be pretty much the thing you'd expect the xenonauts to be doing though. Send off a few squaddies to round up any survivors and secure them, while the assault team hunts down the enemy.

Yeah, along those lines. Basically, it'd increase the feeling of being there to perform multiple tasks.

One option that might be handy would be this: A xenonaut within 3-5 squares of a civilian at the beginning of the turn will put the civilian under xenonaut control for that turn. That way, it's possible to round up civvies, get them at least in the rough direction of safety and let your men actually feel like they are there to take control of a situation, rather than the feeling of having a shoot out in a super market. The downside is that it could enable some cheesy tactics (using civvies as scouts) but given that there's harsh penalties for civvies being killed, it should balance itself out.

I am on Kubuntu 12.4 (Ubuntu with KDE desktop environment). 64 bit. Would be happy to test.

It's nice that we get a "what stats improved" screen after a mission, but instead of simply listing stat and the new rating APS 57 f.x. could it be shown as APS (+3) 57 for example? That way it's clear how much the improvement was? It's only a trivial thing but hey.

Why would damage from a bullet vary significantly between 10 yards and 50 yards, for an assault rifle designed to fire out to 400 yards? In most cases in Xenonauts, you are, at most, firing across a room or from one corner of a house to the next. Any drop off in velocity would be trivial at best.

I grew up in Denmark, where we have mandatory service, so I suppose that counts. Just 9 months as a grunt though. Nothing special or exceptional

This is the first XCOM remake that has actually felt like a true successor. UFO Alien Invasion is a lot of fun, but never quite felt right. Kudos. I started with XCOM on my Amiga 1200 (still play it occasionally, still on the Amiga)
