Suggestions / Add Option To Allow Infiltrated Countries to Be Liberated

« on: August 13, 2015, 09:51:42 am »

I think it should work like this:

If an infiltrated/withdrawn country hosts no alien colonies/bases there is a % chance that they will rejoin X-Com at the end of each month that scales with the score for that month if X-Com managed to obtain a rating of 'Good' or better. This % chance is further increased in proportion to the score X-Com accumulated in that country's territory.

In general, if they would increase their funding if they were still a member nation they would rejoin assuming there are no alien bases in their territory.

To compensate for this, the aliens may be more aggressive and proactive in their attempts to infiltrate countries.


Also, for the love of god, if I shoot down the vast majority of an infiltrating armada before it lands, or stop a landed Dreadnought via a ground assault, please don't let the country get infiltrated anyways; that is just straight up bullshit. I know it was like this in the source game, but it was a stupid design flaw then, and it still is now. Easily my biggest peeve/annoyance.

Not that ez because you have to relocate all the loot (or I have to carry the alien's fat ass away). Again, it's stupidly microintensive and time consuming; there's no reason I shouldn't be able to just straight up merc an unconscious alien.

Hooah! Get some!

The free Lobsterman Commander and Navigator were appreciated.

Suggestions / Show TU Cost of Inventory Screen Actions

Per the subject; TU cost to transfer equipment or reload (if ammo is selected) might highlight and display when mousing over an inventory slot or weapon.

Please make this real; sorely needed.

Ah; interface should show this in that case.

It's on; this doesn't seem to allow me to sell off excess aliens when I'm prompted to dispose of some however after capturing more than capacity during a mission.

Per the subject.

Would make these significantly more useful.

When you're prompted to make room for additional aliens captured due to containment capacity being exceeded, you should be allowed to sell off the specimens you're vacating/rejecting rather than just terminating them.

Oh my god. Yes please; for TFTD and X-Com.

Would make my TFTD run with gear self-destruct so much less tedious; have to spam stuns in order to get a decent gear haul, but that in turn requires a stupid amount of micro to deal with the unconscious aliens.

That takes forever though; I just want to put a bullet through their head without wasting countless mountains of TUs and Stim charges.

Would be nice if there was a way to execute unconscious aliens on the ground or that you're carrying with a held weapon, instead of having to drop a grenade.

Soldiers that fell unconscious in the first stage should probably be recovered in the second upon abort; at least if the first stage was 'won', since the area would be secure enough to at least retrieve them.

I'm aware of the potential tactical applications of incendiaries.

The problem is that outside of illumination, and the very early game, they are completely impractical and ineffective, unless you like spamming the hell out of the end turn button and using far too much of it.

Sure, but is there a mod that makes them better?
