IDT Modding Hub / Re: [TC][OXCE][WIP] The Great War of the Worlds | v1.0 Mk. V Attrition

I just finished what I assume is the pyrrhic victory route. I had fun with the weapons and combat, and the WWI aesthetic really stood out from other mods. The short ranges/slow speed of vehicles also forced me away from the usual strategy of specialized bases, which was interesting. However, I don't think I'll be continuing for a better ending.
Looking at the research tree it looks like I would have to capture multiple overlords. I only saw two (and only caught the second) and repeating the wait between them over and over just sounded tiring. I already felt endgame and hadn't been seeing anything new, so it looks like it would have just been shooting down ships and waiting. I do remember reading a comment mentioning a Verdun mission but I never got that or any other missions, just ships, bases, and one capsule when China was temporarily lost.
I also had an issue with capturing. I mentioned that I killed my first overlord. That was because I brought no tranquilizers to that mission. I never felt a need for them before that. Surrendering aliens filled my prison. I might have taken them for officers, since punching and trench maces seem over-tuned and would regularly kill even armored aliens. However up until the mission where I captured the overlord I had assumed officers would be visually different. It was only on that mission that I noticed the royal guard officer's name because I middle clicked to check their weapon. I noticed there were tesla weapons in the tech tree and maybe those would be better stunners, but since I hadn't been searching for officers contacting Tesla was the last research I did before ending the game. I had finished all the other researches with regular labs.
I did enjoy the mod, and I would like to play again to see the other country's equipment and actually build an advanced lab. I'll leave off with a bug. The last page of the ending narration was cut off for me. I cut off the top to avoid spoilers but you can see how the bottom got cut. Thank you for your work.
Edit: Added my last save file so you can see if the text bug replicates on your end.
