One thing that I like about the early un-even odds against Aliens is how liberal I started using grenades, rockets and C4 out of fear. In vanilla I'm quite cautious using those in order to avoid civilians deaths or loss of artifacts but here I really don't care :-) ... The battlefield really looks impressive after each mission ... Good thing the countries don't seem to care too much about the collateral damage the Xenonauts cause . It would be a funny page on the debrief screen though; a tally of all the monetary damage you did: destroyed a mailbox: 200$, blew up a car: 6000$, leveled an entire building: uhhhhmm...)

Maybe a little break would reinvigorate you a bit. I just discovered the mod and I really enjoy it so far and to be honest I can't comment on much that hasn't been mentioned before so perhaps that's the reason why you don't get that much feedback anymore; the old stuff has been fixed or implemented already? Myself I could only say that maybe an 'easier' option would be nice for those commanders that just can't bear losing soldiers at the start of the game ... although I've edited the game myself to lower the defences of the early vipers (got a bit frustrated when on the first few UFO's I got so many resist shots ) so with a little bit of effort the player can do it themselves. Although after powering through I'm enjoying the mod alot more. You guys have done a lot of hotfixes & updates lately so it's understandable to get a bit burned out on it; especially since most of the reactions are of course criticisms but that's logicial I guess... I mean most people that enjoy a game just enjoy it and keep it to themselves ... when you are annoyed with something then you are much more eager to go online to complain so it might seem that nobody likes it. But I think there are plenty of people that really enjoy the mod and are very grateful for you work. Me included so it would be really sad to see it end.

Apologies if this has been discussed before but is it normal that smoke grenades will now hurt your soldiers? And if so, how do you actually use them now? Are you supposed to suck up the 2 or 3 points of damage that you get when you enter the smoke?
