Soldier Names?
« on: July 10, 2013, 01:02:23 pm »
Wondering what you all use for your soldiers names

For me.. Fodder, Scout, Rookie, Frag, Photon, Carl Dodge, Rocket, Doc, Sarge and Cpt. Crash

Until I get psi I don't bothere since they're all destined to die horribly.  But towards end game when I got psi, I put a 2 digit or 1 digit number indicating their psi strength.  Cowards and blind soldiers can be trained to improve, but a low psi guy is waiting to be shot from behind.

Had some nasty encounters with psi enemies..
At the start of the game, I always find my captain. The guy with highest stats.
After three different games being abolished by my captain being controlled, I'm thinking guys starting off with high stats tend to have low psi. Always leads to my best guy being most suspecible to attack.

This time, the worst guy on my team is going to be Cpt!

Do enemy controlled units get a massive stat raise or is it just me?
Likewise controlled aliens suffer heavy weakness penalty?

That is just murphys law of combat:
32. The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.

Naming just helps me know different abilities easier. When sarge dies, it's all good, there's another en-route!
A stray bullet flies through the window doc's scoping, just missing him, but conviently hitting that well placed barrell. God, nowhere else do you get these types of situations..
