Protips or hints in main menu

[winterheart]

Some time ago SupSuper told that aircraft weapons can be disabled during interception just clicking on it. This is great feature but surprisingly lot of people (including me) didn't knew about it.
So here is my idea - give inexperienced or new OpenXcom gamers some tips about gameplay, mechanics and tricks. For example have a look on Battle for Wesnoth: https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=29163&start=0

Some tricks from me:
"While kneeling solder get a bonus for his effective accuracy."
"At Night your soldiers see much worse, unlike aliens."
"Heavy Weapon Platforms is powerful units, but they don't receive experience."

I'll support this, but where would the messages be displayed in game? During area loads?

even if we don't put them in the game, I think it would be really cool to compile this list, because there's really a ton of undocumented cool features.

"Hold control key while firing to force fire even if there's no line-of-sight."
"Right-click base facilities to open corresponding menu."
"Right-click increase/decrease arrows in menus to jump to zero/maximum amount."

In main menu, at bottom side of screen, I think.

... more text (in unknown amount) to translate in every language ?

whats the problem with translation
translation shouldnt be a chore be be done by people that want to use the language in the game

a good place for placement could be the bottom of the mission-result-screen

I just remembered that annoying assistant from Theme Hospital... So I figured out where tips should be

Ahahaha! I'd like to see it implemented for the sheer malice.

Why stop at that when you can employ clippy?

[Qpoter]

Oh god... not Clippy... anything but Clippy...
