Targeting 2x2 aliens with explosions
« on: December 20, 2021, 08:57:53 pm »
I know it's very useful because you deal about 4x damage and get 4x xp, I thought.
But it seems I get about 8x xp, like the Ctrl H window confirms.
Why do I hit more than four things?
I play OXCE 7.0 .

because the unit is too big or stands on something... and takes up 8 tiles (2x2x2)

Are the 2x2 aliens not 2x2x1?
And hitting the floor around shouldn't give xp.
I'm pretty sure there was just one alien, not more.

if the unit is too big or stands on something (e.g. on stairs), it takes up two tiles vertically, effectively being 2x2x2

Size can become an issue.
