Is it still possible to sign up as a soldier?
I'm way behind, but I'll catch up!

Aye thats no problem. I'm only in May in game and the timescale could be upto about 15 months or so.
Do you want your forum name or another name?

Glad you are enjoying the latest videos, particularly with the flash back to the previous episodes :-)

Aye research is becoming a bit of a problem, which i think isn't helping by the slow start on getting the alien data slate. The current delay is the alien containment, and then capturing some aliens, getting the language learnt, then decode the slate, get lasers, make the damn things and see where we go from there. I am concerned that its just not in time for the month of muton, and that I will have to adjust my tactics somewhat to handle them.

I like your updated research tree, it makes quite a bit of sense. At the moment I'm avoiding interceptors since they aren't effective for what I need, even small UFO's can take it out. Perhaps the improved one will be useful, will have to see. At 600k a month, its still pricey and has to bring in some benefit for it to be worth it. For now my tactic of taking them out even when its a night mission is being quite effective. I'm also enjoying being able to run 2 teams at the same time, might try and invest in a 3rd team. More loot = More money = Better / Faster Development = Save the world faster.

I didn't bother with an outro for the videos for now.

Uhhhh looking forward to that!!! Just got my new Internet access at my new apartment today. Finally i am back online =)
The pre-primed proxy mines can backfire in a bad way.

Are there any suggestions so far what could be changed for future release?
I am still working on the new version, so everything I get now as feedback will probably be implemented.

Welcome back. Life without proper internet sucks.

Feedback :
I do have a concern when I'm up against stronger aliens. You have alien grenades for the harder ones, or bigger rockets but not stronger proximity grenades. Perhaps a chance here for that, using alien alloys to make alloy proximity grenades, or Elerium for Elerium Proximity Grenades.

I will think about some others and let you know :-)

Aye that can work out quite well. The way I'm now seeing the proximity grenades now is that they can easily protect your troops from nasty surprises. A normal nasty surprise is an alien coming out of a door and shooting you if your reactions don't help. I've stopped depending on reactions wherever possible.

Man, all those pre-primed proximity mines makes me nervous.  One soldier goes down from smoke inhalation or another panics with one in hand and you're in for a fun time!

I'm just a man that likes a bit of drama!
I don't want to depend on them too much but they are very useful :-)
