Civvies outside Terror Missions
« on: May 30, 2014, 07:54:32 am »
Would it be possible to do Civilians outside of Terror Missions like in Xenonauts? Also, would it be possible for a modification to occasionally have civilians armed with a pistol?

I think that would have to depend on the terrain. Something like having civilians on farm maps, and no civilians on arctic maps? Anyways, there are other implications in this, like having to save them and such.

It was discussed, but I can't quite find the thread now. I believe that it will get implemented as a mod at some point. It would probably require some coding too.

One of the mods on the mod site changes the map of a landed terror site to house half of the map as the terror ship and half of the map as a city with terror missions. It makes sense that the UFO would be landed where they are terrorizing!

This one has my vote. I like it.

Depending on efforts needed to make it works, such a feature could be a nice improvement

absolutely! I'd like to see a farmer in a rural UFO crash impaling a sectoid on a pitchfork... "ain't nobody got the right to trample my crops, no matter how weird they look!"


... and then proceeding to attack the xcom soldiers for the same reason... :D :D

Beware your farmer not to be considered by XCom as a MIB spy dressed as a farmer 8)

civilians can show up on any mission type already, provided the maps have spawn nodes for them.
