SoftwareSimian Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I heroically ran in and saved a farmer from an alien by stunning the alien with a stun baton. But for the next 5 turns the farmer kept shooting at the stunned alien (hit my soldier once too). Eventually the farmer killed the alien. Now if that were a real farmer I might understand his reaction to having an alien, conscious or not, on his property, and his desire for revenge, but I'm not sure if it's an intended or desirable part of the game mechanics. Should (armed) civilians target stunned aliens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol' Stinky Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 On one hand, it's annoying having friendly AIs try to kill stunned aliens. On the other hand, it makes it oh so much sweeter when I apply a stun baton to the back of a farmer's head. Not that I'd stop zapping friendly AIs and civs if this was fixed, mind you.

EchoFourDelta Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I actually saw this happen very early on in my Xenonauts experience. I had stunned an alien by a barn with the baton, and a farmer that was for some reason kind of following one of my soldiers around runs up and executes the thing from like 3 paces with a shotgun. "Damn, son. Friendly AI's hardcore." I thought it was more amusing than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol' Stinky Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 It's even funnier when they do that and miss, though. I can imagine one of the xenonauts slipping the farmer his card and telling him to sign up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thothkins Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Now if that were a real farmer I might understand his reaction to having an alien, conscious or not, on his property, and his desire for revenge, but I'm not sure if it's an intended or desirable part of the game mechanics. Should (armed) civilians target stunned aliens? There's a lost build showing a group of farmers hanging the alien at the nearest tall tree, but it was considered a little OTT. Besides, you have to understand the depth of the farmer's rage. His favourite cow had been abducted by these creatures. A cow he considered part of the family. Particularly after he married it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
