Base invasion....do they actually invade?

[Bellisarrius]

so my base gets attacked i set up and wait and wait and wait....eventually i go looking for them I find them in 2 sections of my base ..do they ever come out of the rooms they pick to camp in? do they try to reach there objective? im talking i waited 40-60 turns and they havent budged yet

I've noticed that the AI starts to turtle if it feels it's overwhelmed, but it rushes at you if it has numerical superiority.

Base attacks are a bit temperamental at the moment. Sometimes they work quite well, other times (more often than not, in my experience) the aliens either camp or get locked in somewhere by a bug. It'll get sorted, I'm sure.

Androns have a habit of actually moving forward on your positions but they still camp a bit.

Imagine the surprise when some Aliens DO actually start getting aggressive

[overmind.]

I also have som issue during a base attack:

1) When I camp outside my HQ I would imagine that I would get an advantage from both the iron doors and the sand bags setup to protect my solider. However, I get no advantage whatsoever.

- My soldiers gets no extra time to act/react when the aliens go through the door. They just run inside (and sometimes out again!) without anyone doing anything. It should really be setup so that when there are aliens breaching a heavy door, my soldiers would be given time to do something, otherwise, whats the point?

- Its actually seems like an disadvantage to stay behind the sand bags. The aliens just opens the door and blasts the soliders behind the sand bags like both the door and the sand bags didnt matter. That is ridicilous. I actually get the disadvantage from using the base's protection systems.

2) As some have pointed out, what are the alien really doing? They dont seem to eager to come at the HQ. Instead, I have to go find them (and incurring heavy losses).

Hope all these things will get fixed to the final version
