Two questions about heatvision

1) Since night vision is already visually represented by a green palette across the screen, is heatvision also represented by an orange palette?

2) Also, given that heat vision detects heat, shouldn't it be able to detect invisible units (at least units without any special countermeasures, such as catgirls)?

Is it? Everything looks normal to me. How do you see in green?

I'd suggest HUGE bonuses for the missing in action and the going out in a blaze of glory commendations... to be removed or at least changed when we finally get the ability to upload our gal's brains and clone new bodies.

What would the dead need bonuses for?

There are no Challenge Coins in Hell...

There are no Challenge Coins in Hell...

As far as I know, there definitely are...

Once Hell is ready as a mission region, we might be getting our dead girls back.

Get the "Devil's Coins" and use them + a cloning machine to revive one girl? That'd be AWESOME

Mostly it's an excuse to troll the player.  But if/when we get effective cloning tech and mind uploading, bringing back dead heroes for rum and brawling becomes a thing.

I figure it's been long enough to justify a second post.

How hard would it be to allow swimming? basically just walking into water, if the water is supposed to be extremely cold ending the turn in it would cause stun, possibly a lot, if you kneel in water, basically diving, you take stun at the end of the turn.  Visibility would probably go down, more so if you dive, but you'd be pretty hard to find both ways.  Suits that would logically be heated could be immune to the cold damage, and those that have an air supply could be immune to the diving damage.  Mostly it just seems odd that the gals can't swim in shallow water.

The whole way maps are constructed makes it really hard to pull off. Not even mentioning you'd need to add underground levels to all maps with water... Ugh, just no. Swimming can be simulated (see swimming pool facility), but a special map is needed for that.

Your idea Khade also seems to touch the "tile causes damage" idea, which is a valid and potentially useful thing.

I understand that if you hit a single spot on the bottom floor with enough explosives, it can dig a hole deep enough to provide cover.  It's still on the same floor though.  This is base game I'm remembering, but somehow I suspect that still works.

[Dioxine]

Um, no. You cannot dig into floor.
