Uh-oh. Indeed I am. I'm into open source games, absolutely.
Well, it seems that it cannot be compiled in Visual C++.

Noordung:
AI is also problem in huge maps. they just wander around. if they would try to hunt you down playing time would be shorter. but to change than one would have to improve AI...

Say, it's a scout, you already killed 1 and see 2, thus there can none be hiding somewhere and ambush you. That's a huge tactical advantage. In 2.5 it is necessary to somehow track the UFO type by out-of-game means...

Consider it cheating, but you can hit the console button at the start of the map and see the alien entities placed by the engine, together with their names (and derive the type of alien by naming convention, even).

anonymissimus:
And "the console button" is...what ?
Launching from console is better however. By watching the messages, you always know the exact number of enemies and their types, civilians and who's bleeding. There are messages about creation and whenever someone dies.

mikehg:
Shit-Esc by default.
