I'll stop spamming, but I was interested in replacing a few other related generic sprites, like how the Chief Engineer is just an EXALT Goon...

This one's more of just a concept than a potential replacement, but...

EXALT Cleaner

These flamethrower-equipped troops accompany EXALT Liquidator squads into the field. Their name is a bit of a misnomer- Cleaners often leave a disgusting mess behind, as their prerogative is less tidying up evidence than charring it into an unrecognizable mess for would-be investigators.

A few more variants of the EXALT Infiltrator and the Lad, who I was unhappy with still, and some minor tweaks to the supporter of Dagon.

Hey, I love this mod, but I hate that the low level cultists are just sort of guys in tshirts.

I whipped these up quickly in Paint as possible replacements for the lowest tier cultists in Red Dawn, Church of Dagon, and EXALT, using some custom art and some slicing and dicing from other XCOM FILES sprites. Maybe they're an improvement?

The Red Dawn ganger I gave a tracksuit top/jewelry/a cigarette, the follower of Dagon a filthy/bloody blouse (with a mask optionally), and I just gave the low-level EXALT guys ties (one variant still wearing his work badge!) to make them look a little more businesslike, with shoulder holsters and a walkie-talkie. Also, I threw a bulletproof vest on the Red Dawn lad just to see how it would work.

Possibly there's battlescape sprites that would match these? These anyone can use.
