Sorry but you don't seem to understand...

This goes way further than simple symmetry.

Some weapon has its own damage model (grenades, plasma weps, staves, etc), which unchangeable by TFDT dmg model. Seems like the things that should be constant in the mod are made constant initially.

..but ok, I'm not gonna start a discussion about it. You are the boss, it is your decision.

I wouldn't say that there is some need of psi-armor... But improvement of psi-vision for high-trained hybrids would be very nice.
For example, add some special commendation which adds +1 to psi-vision on 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 grade of it.

to wreck the entire balance?

Sorry, but it changes the balance at some points (both to positive and negative for player and enemy). No wreckage there.

Why: Not really compatible.

Where:

Thanks.
TFTD damage model works fine, it makes battles lesser chaotic... Too sad it is unavailable now.

Why? You have 8 bases, where you can build whatever you want.

Just one question what is needed to have these weapons ? because I never fell on them (I'm on level 2 because it's my first play-through )
What is the trigger of Dimension X arc ?
What missions are part of this arc ?
What researches make it progress ?

Just begin to move along Cyberweb arc, and you will be answered for all your questions.

There is no need to invent bicycle about it, everything works fine. You've learned knowledge from the scrolls and that's enough to teach your agents. What else do you want? To put a scroll right in the ass of apprentice to study hard? 

The real question is to have more opportunities to capture live BL assassin.

The whole idea about readiness is absolutely right and there is no doubt about it.

IMHO, it would be more realistic if you put readiness counter into dependence on spent TUs. That will make difference between active agents on mission and passive ones. Spent 50 TUs - minus 1 readiness... or something like that.

But wasn't that a bug in vanilla, which is now fixed? So having both kinds of radar adds up, as well as having several of the same type.

Good question... I don't know.
Really, I've never bothered about it. Bug or not, there are more important facilities to build.

I have 3 countries that contribute very poorly to my budget South Africa (1000), Indonesia (4000), Ireland (1000) with 0 monthly increase since the start of the game. I'm in November 98... Winter is coming.

Don't pay too much attention for it. Be sure to maintain average score to gain maximum amount of monthly income (>2000 score = increasing for 15% from last mont income) and everything will be okay.

These countries are under radar coverage. 

It does not really matter. If you will skip some missions on the territory of certain country, this country can decrease it's funding (if the score is too low, of course).

Each base has 1 long range and 1 short range radar.

Only ONE radar system works at the same time, so you no need to maintain more than ONE radar system on each base. The difference between them is about percentage of UFO detection. Hyperwave decoder has 100% chance to detect UFO.

Are the governments infiltrated from the start ?

No. They can be infiltrated from January of 1999 - when the invasion starts (the same situation about alien bases). If the G. was infiltrated you will see the message about it in the monthly report.

Right, I don't understand how the commendations code works, and AFAIK nobody does.

Well, that's not completely true...

Oh, yeah... That's an option.
