I haven’t seen a single imperial probe in a year. Is this normal?

Heavy bullets should be able to penetrate wooden wall and his the guild hostess hiding behind it. Just like it worked in Jagged Alliance 2.

If you are careful, you can make it out of the early game with very few loses or even none at all and considering as of the latest update, stading right in from of gun-toting baddies is a good survival strategy, this results in plenty of nearly maxed out fighters in your crew when you can finally manufacture the things.

The demonic axe and the +15 flat damage to all guns craft is not good enough for you?

Simple conditional statements to override its usual behavior would, I think, work for the issue of AI pointlessly shooting into melee.

« on: May 18, 2017, 11:50:17 am »Makes sense to me. First thing you're gonna do in a fight is try to push someone's gun out of the way if you manage to get that close. "Melee failure = guarantee burst of gunfire to the face" is a big and common flaw of turn based shooters.
True. It is however unfair to the already handicaped (no kneeling, no indirect fire) AI as it isn’t coded to move a square away and then proceed shoot the shit out of you like you would.
Is it possible for modders to fiddle with the AI?

Beaing limited to a maximum of 6 soldiers really hurts the squad training aspect of the game.

It’s pretty funny that squares right next to a gun-toting enemies are nowamong the safest squares on the map.

Just like in Ufo:Aftershock.
I’d say nuXCOM oves more to Ufo series than to the original games. Tiny squad size, simplyfied base building, talking heads, weapon mods...

Lack of classes is what made X Com unique, so please don’t add that feature.

But I suspect we don’t have as many Swat teams merely because my country’s military industrial complex consists of truck manufacturer, cheap pistol/sporting rifle factory and used military hardware mafia, so they don’t have much pull in the goverment.

Solution: give tanks a lot more armour 
Power armour should not be as good as vehicle armour even when magical forcefields are involved.

I dunno, but one would expect people with aeons of experience in conquest and weapons development to have access to a gun that has no hard counter or drawbacks.
