"(One objection to this might be that no alien bases, terror missions or base assaults is the player's reward for playing well. That's true, *in game*, but in terms of the player's experience this is basically limiting them to a single type of ground mission for the rest of the game. Ironically, by playing well, the player deprives themselves of ground combat diversity!)" This is exactly what happened to me, so I spent a good 40-70 Hours just tagging and bagging alien bodies and ranking up troops I have to actually allow the aliens to hit my bases, cities, or establish their own. With Cryptology though I can see what kind of aliens im dealing with so I still shoot down and airstrike the hell out of lizard men and those annoying androids

Im not much of a modder as in cant code, do animation or things like that but I had planned on working on certain ideas if anyone was interested in any of the things I suggest and wanted or needed help finding artwork and things send me a message but I was going for a sorta 4 weapon set idea along with a 5th for alien weapons, the first two sets would be a strictly NATO and WARSAW PACT set and soldiers from those countries would come with the weapons as their different defaults, was planning for an even deeper version of these based on the games time period, one example would be Rifleman from the US=M16 yet troops from say UK=Enfield or w/e their standard rifle at the time was the other 2 weapon sets would be pretty generic countries that the US Supplied would have pretty much the default set, Soviet supplied countries would have a similar basic set and new artwork designs for alien based weaponry. The Last part would be purely cosmetic not being happy with the look of the Xenonaut uniforms or armor, but changing it so soldier from the US, UK, USSR, China, France, Germany ect would be in the countrys Military Fatigues/helmets of the era but with some Xenonaut markings some of the smaller less contributing countries with a generic US/Soviet/Chinese style depending on their relations along with variants to some of the basic vehicles, to US style Jeeps, Rovers, Russian uazs same thing for helicopter dropships added variants for parts of the world for those who want a more authentic feel that these are real troops being sent to the Xenonauts from the nations of the world. Earlier body armors would obviously be redesigned for a more real look and would cover the new uniforms where the more advanced armors that completely covered the troops could be made completly anew, maybe even variations for weather if the US ERDL camo gets widely used, like I said any modders who want to work or make any of these or already working on them send me a message if you need help, Ill most likely be working on adding some of these myself
