X-Chronicles Release, v.1.5

[EleriumWard]

Good morning.

I would just like to ask something. By any chance, have you seen Hobbes's comment in the mod.io page for X-Chronicles?

Yes, but this comment is obsolete since Hobbes decided to re-publicate his creation.

I better remove that comment.

Nord, I just saw you also went CC-NC-BY-SA with your mod, nice!

I’m excited to try the new version soon!

I don’t fully know the etiquette for this here, so apologies if this comes across wrong/rude:

I really like the goblin assets you have here, and was wondering who made them, as I’d like to ask permission to use them for my own modding.

Initial idea was published in "resources" for everyone to use, but for my mod i reworked it almost completely. These sprites based on sectoid, though.
So, use them as you want, i'm not say anything against that.
Upd.: found. It was first in Foxc topic, Here. But still, it was only inspiration and i made that spritesheet from sectoid.

I feel like there are ladders in the game that are supposed to work like elevators but... don't. I am currently stuck on a ship assault mission where a legion resident mage is stuck below deck with no access. I don't have good enough explosives to breach the hull, so it's now a nigh impossible task.

P.S: couldn't attach more from my phone, so the most telling one is here.
P.P.S: The error occured on 0.99.2 since I didn't know about an update. Now I have to wonder if changing the version mid-mission will break anything.
P.P.P.S: SOLVED! I was indeed on a late version. Now everything works.

I certainly don't regret learning about this mod's existence. It's so much fun.

Am I doing something extremely wrong or is the balance still a work in progress?

I'm in March 2022, multiple Magics researched, but no way to cast them. Almost 50 research topics with 90 scientists and each take at best 5 days, usually vastly more. The strongest weapons I have are still HMGs and X-equipment, and it takes a ton to actually take someone down, not really sure how to take someone in alive except for luck (police batons, darts and tasers are not even close to useful). In my last month I had 34 landed UFOs, a camp, a nest, 2 forts, over 20 other missions and at least 40+ UFOs that didn't land within my borders. I've researched outcast mages, pirates, orcs and goblins completely, with a lot of legionaries, wizards, barons and similar also researched. I tried just skipping a month to see how long it would take, at this pace it would literally take me thousands of hours to get through an in game year. All of this is with China start.

Please provide save file.

Infinite loop? 0.99.5

0) Load attached save
1) Select batbayar
2) Rotate to point to the legion manipul
3) Take a snap shot

Game freezes just before the projectile hits (but doesn't crash-crash with the crash dialog).

Interesting. December 21 here; also china start. Mostly the same tech level (not bothered researching HMGs), just started training the psi's.

I agree research is very slow - currently have 140 scientists across two bases and just started research base 3! Researched just 23% of the tech tree. About 50hrs of play time to get here!

Also agree that some of these enemies take forever to take down with their shields; kind of like goblins and then orcs did at the start (goblins should've been easier!), though they (goblins) now die fairly nicely with x-rifles.

Also also agree that too-much happens in a month. I don't have numbers quite as high as you, but I can easily end a month with a score of 4000 or so.
(Crashy savegame in previous post is this game)

Ok, got it.
