I made it a bit further down the line in the mod and I have to say one big word:

IDK how you pulled it off dear Sir(s), but the balance is there and it is good, despite a few small shortcomings. From a mod that adds such a huge amount of things one could only excpect tragic mistakes, not in this work though.

My only concearns are the alloy cannon and the Dart launcher though.

More on this tomorrow though.

Good job mate(s)

Thank you! You can now test the next version, as 1.1 was uploaded.

  • Made Alloy Cannon rounds ten times cheaper in money and twice cheaper in Alien Alloys.
  • Increased defensive abilities of Cydonia.
  • New secret alien mission added.
  • Increased Taser power from 38 to 44.
  • Increased Tactical Sniper Rifle HE Ammo damage from 50 to 56, but with a small radius.
  • Some new Ufopaedia pics for craft weapons (stolen from Piratez).
  • Added scatter ammo made from Alien Alloys (it isn't visible in the Ufopaedia, because it's the fourth ammo type and only three are allowed).
  • Railguns require Laser Weapons.
  • Floater officers no longer leave separate corpses.
  • Blocked inventory on tanks.
  • Increased LMG's autofire range to 25.
  • Added some missing city strings.
  • Added special sprites for many alien ranks, made by Quinch.
  • Fixed Skymarshall doors.

Looks cool.  I have yet to play this full mod, because I'm still working on vanilla XCOM.  I certainly can't wait to try my hand at this. But I do want to mention, my 10 year old son is having a blast just playing this mod with the battle generator.  He loves the variety of the weapons, terrains, mission sites, and enemies.

It's nice you can enjoy the game like this. :)

Most of the changes are late-game-related, but suit yourself. :)

Probably not, I haven't removed any missions, UFOs or items.

What about the officer corpses? I have a few of those in my stores.  Should I delete/sell them before upgrading?

Some wording change suggestions:
STR_ALIEN_DIPLOMACY_UFOPEDIA:
disappeared ancestors -> lost ancestors

STR_ENVOY_SHIP_UFOPEDIA:
hold hue -> ? bold hue?

STR_FIRE_LAUNCHER_UFOPEDIA:
that couldn't -> that we couldn't

STR_ELECTRO_WHIP_UFOPEDIA:
it doesn't -> that doesn't

I think not, but I haven't tested it and it won't hurt to do so.

STR_ALIEN_DIPLOMACY_UFOPEDIA:

Not a bad idea. But it's a mission, so it should have a mission-like name.

STR_ENVOY_SHIP_UFOPEDIA:
hold hue -> ? bold hue?

Gold hue. :P

STR_FIRE_LAUNCHER_UFOPEDIA:
that couldn't -> that we couldn't

Yeah.

STR_ELECTRO_WHIP_UFOPEDIA:
it doesn't -> that doesn't

Apparently I didn't make a good job with spellchecking.

Actually, I forgot to add Psionics as a prerequisite to the Blaster Launcher. It wouldn't change much, since you probably have psi already by this time, but it's logical.

And I still need to integrate that Russian version...

I meant more grammar-wise.  looking for their disappeared ancestors -> looking for their lost ancestors.  it sounds odd (to me, at least) to have "disappeared" take an object.

btw, I can't wait to try out the new mission (and the changes to cydonia). It looks awesome : )

Edit: another couple capitalization mismatches:
line 29030: Resources/FinalModPack/Alt_aliens/Floater_Medic/FloaterMedic.png
the filename is floaterMedic.png

line 29037: Resources/FinalModPack/Alt_aliens/Floater_Navigator/FloaterNavigator.png
the filename is floaterNavigator.png

Haven't finished the translation yet but I found two bugs or inconsistencies related to the late-game:
Spoiler:
The strings for the damaged Juggernaut Suit are called
STR_STR_JUGGERNAUT_SUIT_CORPSE
instead of
STR_JUGGERNAUT_SUIT_CORPSE

and the STR_HOVERTANK_RAILGUN expects
STR_NEW_FIGHTER_CRAFT
instead of
STR_UFO_CONSTRUCTION which is used by all other Hovertanks.

also you should probably change the string
 STR_STORMTROOPER_ARMOR_CORPSE to "damaged Stormtrooper Armor" instead of just "Corpse" for the manufacturing screen.
