question about promotion
« on: February 02, 2011, 04:21:11 pm »
what is the current way of promotion?  the original x-com game-decide-way?

I was thinking, since some players, like me, like to choose who to promote, how about skippping that programming part and just let the players decide?

Hmm, I would certainly not just skip the automatic promotion code. To code a screen to do manual promotions probably takes as much time or maybe even more time than the automatic promotion (which is just a single procedure that does a few calculations based on combat experience and number of units available for promotion).
