The mountain is just full of Upanatomite... I mean if it is talked about in Rocky and Bullwinkle it's got to be true right? :)

It's a very problematic bug... I'll see what can be done.

Might I suggest that the 'always hits' be removed from the stun rod article?  My agent that got a Dagon follower's axe in his back begs to say otherwise about the accuracy of the stun rod :P

I still say figure out how to duplicate the flying top of the mountain bug and use it in the story.  Who doesn't want an enemy base that you need jetpacks to get to? or a hidden ladder in the mountain, leading to a kill box?

Hey Solarius - think you can check the Yeti? I lost a mission to those abominable snowmen and yet they should have been 2x2 creatures that are easy to hit.

I saw some shots that didn't hit, but looked like they should have been hits. Am I crazy?

Oh man, I forgot about it completely. Fixing now.

But to my defence, I never really understood the problem as reported - I shot hundreds of them :P

Was playing and in the tech tree viewer it seems the red dawn pioneer research is missing its research rewards. The red dawn pioneer and red ops also both appear twice when viewing the red dawn topic. One of the red ops entries also has a longer freebie list then the other.

All as intended, move along. ;)

Mowolets

I'm not sure what you meant: "malets" or "molodets". Both of them can be translated as "lad" but there's no such word as "моволец" in Russian. Or maybe you wanted to make a word like "komsomolets" taking into account the Red Dawn members feel nostalgic about their Soviet Union past.

Yeah, there were indeed many typos... Thanks!

Singular/plural

I think you mean these sentences:

"An alien vessel crew abducts a human, brainwashes them"

"organism is ready for insertion into a human being, which would turn them"

"I lent some assistance with the interrogation of our recent captive. Actually, I used the grenade-in-mouth trick to convince them to talk"

I can't see anything wrong with these sentences. What is the singular/plural problem again?

STR_STAFF_009 - no "Staff input" title

Oh, right.

"Red Army" should be written with capital letters.

Absolutely.

I'm not sure what you meant: "malets" or "molodets". Both of them can be translated as "lad" but there's no such word as "моволец" in Russian. Or maybe you wanted to make a word like "komsomolets" taking into account the Red Dawn members feel nostalgic about their Soviet Union past.

Hmmm... I can't remember my train of thought either. Maybe I was going for a portmanteau word? I think I'll just change it to "molodets".

Sorry for being unclear. You're right, these are the sentences I was talking about. I'll try to explain. "a vessel crew abducts a human" - you use the singular number in the first part, but then you changed the number and used the plural: "brainwashes them". It should be "abducts humans and brainwashes them" or "abducts a human and brainwashes him" to keep consistency.

"organism is ready for insertion into a human being, which would turn them" - the same thing. It should be "into human beings, which would turn them" or "into a human being, which would turn him"

"I lent some assistance with the interrogation of our recent captive." - in the first part of the sentence there was only one captive, but in the second part there are already a few of them: "Actually, I used the grenade-in-mouth trick to convince them to talk". Sorry for being a bore. I know it's not that important.

If it's unclear if the person is male or female, they is actually acceptable.  Though like all gender neutral attempts in English, It sounds a little awkward.

I got a map generation error

Why does the soldier face that has the pale guy with a beard that kind of looks like Captain Price from CoD wear a "hat" in the Battlescape when he's not wearing it in his inventory sprite?
I don't have him readily available to take a picture of so I'm too lazy to do it.
