Hello,

I’m trying this mod for the first time (i play XFiles a lot, loved it, and also some 40K and PirateZ but didn’t like them).
Can you give some general hints on how to start and want to expect, so i may avoid many hours of restarts ?

I go with one base in France, and then i select Russia, as i guess they will be more blunt and brutal and dwarfy ?
Then there is a mission with 5 one-eyed wolves and they destroy me.
Back to the base after i reload and retry several times, but even many bullets seem to not kill anything, so, escape.
I wait until the Russia let me buy some items like armors and guns.

So, am i suppose to "wait" at first, to get some better stuff, or should i go and try and die more ?

Thanks, this mod seems very worthy.

First missions CAN be completed with starting equipment. Expect casualties, though. Recommendations: use various approaches, not only rifles.

just something curious happens. I have two terror mission at same city at same time.

This is not really bug. Just random thing. And not too many cities in your region. I have in plans to add more cities, but this is low priority task.

This mod looks interesting, I'll start to play it.

The recoloring of the hair at the Battlescape does not work for the Choosen armor.
It works if the script for the glowing stripes is removed.
I'm not familiar enough with y-scripts, but could that be fixed? Maybe by adding hair recoloring too in the script, or checking the api if that is supposed to happen?
Thanks in advance 

Apart from that, you made a nice mod! I finished my first campaign two months ago and it was fresh and really fun.

I worked on the English translation and fixed smaller issues/inconsistency/etc with the ruleset.
Can these things be included? What is the best way to do that? Do you have a Github repository maybe?

There were a lot of non-existing bulletSprite=100 entries. I marked them with FIXME and gave them the value 0 when I could not find a proper one.

Game crashed when I researched Extraterrestial Equipment. The error log says 'Research STR_UFO_MATERIALS not found'

I have it recorded on video and I have the save file, if there's any more info you need.

[Nord]

This is a bug, yes. New version is on the way, will be ready in a week or less.
