Secondary bases are fun and all specialy when bravery is hard trained, so when your attacked and the two last enemy hide in the sewer and every fcking unit with a pansershrek shoots it into the wall and killing themself becuse the AI gotta hide in the sewer...................................

Just increase bravery bonus for base defence.

I agree, bravery acquired from experience might be increased in soecial circumstances, eg killing 2/3 enemies in melee fight in a row, and so on

Thanks for the Links! and right before the new version drops too.

This is only a problem with new bases when you spend serious cash on recuits for just one idiot to use the pansershrech to kill 3 in a berserk theres a serious issue with bravery and base defense.

- Use slave soldiers to defend secondary bases, they have stable morale and do not mind long missions(they do not lose morale with time, only from friendly losses).

- If you have a soldier whose morale is near 50 and there is a possibility they will panic, remove firearms from their hands and put them in backpack/belt/whatever. That way they won't cause any damage to others when they panic (you can leave melee weapons in their hands, they don't use them when panicking).

- Also use some dogs for base defense, they have a built-in motion detector for finding those last enemies hiding in sewers.

Yep, gonna  try the slave soldier as a backup defensive force, good idea. Out of curiosity: the "smart rounds"  may be renamed "magic bullets". Might fit more along the vodoo/magic stuff, plus it's kinda jfk reference alike.

[MemoryTAS]

By Smart rounds you mean for the Smart pistol? I don't see why given that particular gun doesn't use any voodoo.

No i mean a simpy word change (eg magnum smart rounds--->magnum magic bullets) Just a setting change 

And might we get that geoscape interface characters like the Amiga 1200 version? Also the interception theme is not that bad...have a look:

Edit: also a nice battlescape "sitzkrieg" theme?

[MemoryTAS]

Wish using thrown smoke grenades or fire extinguishers didn't count as "hitting your own allies" for the purposes of "Best Kind of Friend". Not sure how feasible that would be to change though.

[spazeroid]

Howdy, I'm a big fan so I hope this doesn't come off as overly harsh.

The changes to the bootypedia weapons entries make them a lot harder to read. The sides and the green thing are distractingly bright, which combined with the fact the text often goes over both makes it hard to read some of the text. The fish lips in the middle don't help either.

If you make the sides a little darker it shouldn't be so bad. Or maybe changing the text color?  The ideal solution for those of us who are change resistant might be to make the new background toggle-able, but I'm sure that's technically difficult.

Anyway, really like the game and I'm looking forward to the new content.

Me too. I would prefer new bootypedia screen to be optional for now.

Agree. I always looking forward for all the changes in game, but here I would prefer something simplified and what fit better with text and graphics.
But thank you Dioxine for all your hard work (and of course all other contributors), you doing it great
