Clean up/cover up and determining how quickly aliens equip better stuff

<< < (2/2)

@CarlosMaximus: 250 casualties, wow that seems like something that is significant enough that it should be mentioned on any site that has info about it. Still it isn't like they were facing them all at once or within a short period of time, which is what I was thinking of. Doesn't make it any less impressive.

@MonkeyHead: That doesn't stop them from doing the newscasts. They could have it be mail so you don't have to watch or read it.

Eegxeta:
Anyway what did everyone think of my ideas on how the aliens equip better stuff. Again I have to say this is going on assumption that the nations aren't totally helpless and that you don't always find out about every attack . If a UFO lands somewhere and you don't see it land on radar, unless it is in a big city or other important location, it could go unnoticed. I also think it would make sense that you would at some point encounter NPC soldiers that count as friendlies instead of civilians so if they die while fighting the nations don't get mad unlike civilians who is the defendy instead of the defender.

It all came about because the aliens equip better stuff at a certain time and because I'm not exactly that great at this game I'm not prepared for them to start using particle weapons so I get stuck with the aliens able to one shot my soldiers and only a few of my weapons do any significant amounts of damage.

That reminds me do civilians do their best to run away as far as they can from the aliens or do they still run towards them and get shot or run around the closest corner and then the alien take three steps and shoots them.

CarlosMaximus:
Hmmm, dunno how easy it would be to implement, needs a dev look. As to the civvies, AFAIK they run away from any aliens they can see, and try to group together if no aliens are in sight. Don't take that as gospel though, that's just based on observation and, IIRC, one of the tips of the day.

Eegxeta:
Ah that makes sense as to why they would run and hide around a corner even though the alien would only need to take a few steps to shoot at them.
