Hooray, finally it happened! )
But still I really hope for further improvements, as the author of the mod promised.
Thank!

what is "readiness?

IIRC there was supposed to be an article explaining it, but it isn't, while it does so in Piratez. A mistake, I suppose.

Either way, it's basically fatigue. As it gets lower and lower, your units will regenerate less energy and TU until they cannot move at all. It is spent while fighting in a mission, especially by using PSI stuff, and it refreshes at the base by resting here, thus encouraging you to have more teams ready to rotate.

By the way, it seems one-use portable anti-tank launchers is not a thing in XCF yet, shame. Hopefully it is updated in soon, these things would make perfect sense to have at Prom. 3 or so.

Another thing: Is the Osiron "arc" finished by now? Is something else planned to do with them besides being random thugs with hi-tech with connections to a sinister organization?

I hoped to eventually have a way to dismantle these guys' base of operations as you do with the starter cults, but I dunno if it's possible by now.
Note that I'm talking from experience with previous releases where I didn't manage to finish the game yet, so perhaps this idea is already implemented.

Some arcs are better not to be closed that way. We need to have some easy missions like hybrids or Osiron in case of training noobies during all campaign. It was important in 0.x.x versions, but now in 1.0 it is vitally important.

well there´s animals for that.

...and animals, yes. And anything you can find. You can even leave in action 3 of 4 cults. Should I continue?  ???

So try it by yourself and be sure. ;) 'Kinda everybody' will sit with shitty 70 accuracy, 50 reaction and 60 TUs. On a beginner difficulty it's toooooo much, yes. Cydonia will fall before 1999, he-he.

Neither. Training rate didn't change, what changed was scorch reducing gym caps. Quite severely so. Besides a couple secondary stats like strength, gym now only trains up to hire caps, not beyond them as it was the case previously and which took the bulk of time.

So, do your soldiers have enough readiness to finish a big mission like a Cult HQ assault on superhuman? Where you have to kill about a hundred enemies.

You need to push your soldiers to almost every mission for a few drops of experience and some commendations. The whole training is more difficult than it was at 0.9.9. Just try 1.0 by yourself, and you'll know....

currently at a campaign started in 0.99...
well that kinda sucks then. its sooo much effort to get proper replacements already...
like, why does it have to be so much work to get proper soldiers, when you can build UFOs and mechs and other stuff already?
