First off, I have to say that this game, both 2.2.1 and 2.3 have to the best x-com style game I have played ever since the first x-com, I love the models, the weapons list, the campaign and the maps. I cannot wait until the next release (i played the dev 2.3 and had some fun with it). Okay, on to my post.
So I was playing on the industrial map (the one with the big factory in the center) in Russia and I just blew the snot out of the aliens on this map as their plasma weapons were no match in range for my laser troops. Well I had the last alien cornered in a building and was slowing moving forward to rush the building and bust a cap in him. During these rounds I got the impression the alien was freaking out because of all his side's casaulties and was frozen in place...
I was wondering:
1. are you guys planning on allowing aliens to surrender when their morale breaks?
2. does alien morale follow the same rules as human morale? (i.e. throw down guns, run away or start shooting randomly?)
I loved the fact that this alien was just freaking out because it turned the mission into a mop up which I felt was pretty realistic.
