Civillians should run away from the aliens and hide or try to.

I picked this up from another thread.

Right now the civilians run around rather aimlessly and thus get shot down.

Dont get me wrong, I like that civilians notice aliens and then I could act
on this info and shoot the alien down. 

But from a civilian that is afraid of aliens, he should either run away as much as possible,
or if that is not possible, try to find a "safe spot" where he could stay.

That actually brings me to another thing ... i think the maps could be
either a bit bigger, or there could be more stuff to hide behind ...
cupboards... furniture... walls which dont lead to a door...
or doors which can be closed or locked behind you...

I agree with what you are saying I think that the civilians should run to the drop ship or something. Or maybe you could lead them away from danger that would be cool.

i've implemented waypoints for civilians - but they are not yet in the maps

I don't think that's what they want, though. What we need is work on the AI so it automatically works on all maps regardless of individual start positions.

You may talk about the Civilian Buggers thread. I agree on all counts. The civilians need some serious work.

Well I think there should not be civilians like ice cold rational heroes.
They should run away from the action and flee if they are under fire. Maybe some random "personality" like a decision to run or to hide from fire. Definitely they should rather run to the humans direction and out of the mansion on the mansion map than to the aliens and into the dead end.
