Seems fine to me since armored vaults are lateish tech and large is available right out of the gate.

Yeah the best capacity of the Armored Vaults is fully intended (and appropriately priced).

Okay, I just thought there should be a 2x2 more room efficient solution for vaults and barracks.

[Dioxine]

FOURTH tier of barracks & vaults? I give up

Anyways, new version is up. Cydonia is finally fixed, map tweaked a bit and added requirement to wear space-capable armor (if you don't have one, the Conqueror will provide you with a space suit).
Another change that might surprise is the need of Chemicals for Pigeon and Skyranger to fly.
Other than that, bunch of various stuff and even bigger bunch of fixes (thanks for all bugreports). As always, check the log in the first post for the full change list.

Yay! You guys rock! Incredible, how can you do such a lot of stuff in so little time actually???

Grrr, Dioxine I have had to restart another game today that I restarted yesterday after noticing that the one I restarted last week was ...

[Dioxine]

No need for that, changes to early game are minimal

Bug report:
In the recent version (0.98E) the alternate corpses mod doesn't work, the one that comes packaged with it. I get an error message when I try to start with that mod enabled. Also, the default language of the packaged .exe is set to Czech.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem.

[Dioxine]

Restore your config file, and download the updated version of alt corpses mod.

Had something interesting happen in my last tac mission: One gal stood under a door of a medium UFO, suddenly she fell unconscious. When I sent another gal to look an enemy unit had used the door and landed on my gal there, knocked her unconscious when jumping out of the ship 
Next turn she was up again, the enemy however had been killed by the second gal.

This is a built-in feature of OXC, fondly callled "Goomba Stomping."  Per Warboy its there to handle those situations where the AI paths off something and lands on another entity (normally a player unit).  Since two units can't occupy the same tile simultaneously, they temporarily knock the victim unconscious.

[Dioxine]

Your own units can do that too, but only when panicking. I asked Warboy to enable voluntary goomba stomp, but he declined

[new_civilian]

I really like that mechanism.

Getting a reproducible crash involving capturing armored church beastmasters. Only happens if I don't break their suits before MCing them, so I guess there's a problem with the armored unit itself. If it's been reported already, my bad. I checked back 20 pages and didn't see anything about it.

On the newest version too, I should mention.

Is this still happening?
If yes, can we please get a save? I can't reproduce...
