Alien Commanders
« on: March 13, 2014, 07:13:08 pm »
Hi,

in Xcom Vanilla there are no commanders in muton bases and battle-ships.

That I asked yesterday @ https://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?https://www.xcomufo.com/forums/

What about OpenXcom? For me, this is a clear bug.

Mutons aren`t the smartest, but floaters either aren`t, but have commanders....

Mutons are much more under direct control of the Ethereals ;)

Floaters in the original aren't butchered Mutons and still have a decent amount of brain power... XD

it's a feature, not a bug.
not all races have all ranks. ethereals only have commanders, leaders and soldiers, no medics/engineers/what have you. there are no traces of stats for the "missing" ranks so it's clearly not an oversight. every unit that existed in the data was used in the game.
