Basically going to link the snippet I put on the modded part here:

Been off from the forum for a good while, but something quite funny happened to me today after returning to the game, the game got stuck on the alien's turn because the enemy tried to enter a tile that they couldn't see through, but a unit of mine was on the other side.
XD
Going to attach the save to this, but perhaps this isn't just a modded thing, so will also notify the general topic about this bug...
Kisses to you all and happy late new year!

Not sure what you mean, all tavern missions were tested and worked okay.

Guns without ammo would sound worrying, but everything looks fine to me.

They happened on a easy rider mission...

hmm, they appeared to work okay in testing, but I won't bet my arm on this. Would you maybe have a battle save?

Nope...
;w;

Just remembered, I think criminal records aren't counting as points, just to let you know...

Also some of the, still in development, shady tavern missions just end right away because of turn limits and the enemy surrendering...
I also noticed that in the shady tavern mission for the easy riders (this is one of those weird surrender missions) there was an awful lot of guns, but no ammo.

Honestly, I don't think it's that hard...

That wouldn't be enough to justify why, say, Brazil would suddenly denounce its political ties with the aliens.

It isn't a mission that would make the country go back into the fold, but that would only give away the key for you to be able to access the embassy and the country would only forfeit it's relationship with the aliens after the embassy was destroyed. Which would make the mission more of a heist than anything...

Maybe add some HWP on the fold too for the heist mission. Some points loss could also be added because the embassy key was stolen, since XCom would be interfering directly into council's politics...

Chemical flares get destroyed even when they aren't activated.

Any mission that ends in a surrender with space cyberweb personnel causes the game to crash.

I don't understand this argument - what you described is 100% political. How can a black ops/terrorist organization be anything else than a political organization? This article looks 100% correct to me.

But you literally just said it wasn't a political organization...

Quote from: Solarius Scorch on June 04, 2020, 04:12:15 pm

There are many reasons why Alien Embassies shouldn't be removable with no limits, mostly because X-Com is not a political organization and has absolutely no way of controlling if countries ally themselves with aliens or not. I shat bricks to come up with ways to allow it in some very special circumstances which are still a big stretch.

And also:

Maybe add a hard late undercover mission on the lines of "Alien ambassador kidnapping" where there are several heavily armed hybrids, some ambassador hybrids and maybe even an alien or brainer. And, among one of them, there is a embassy key. The appearance of such missions could be tweaked to be very rare and they could be made available only after one alien embassy was already taken care of.
