UFO:Alien Invasion

I would love some missions to end if I killed a certain percentage of all aliens instead of all.
I find it very tiresome (especially on the oriental urban maps) to search every single house for the one alien hiding in the bathtub.
This feature would be especially useful in larger scale missions (I've only had 7 enemies per mission up to now) when hunting down the last hidden enemy will be even more annoying because the maps are huge (base attacks!).
Another solution: If only 1 alien is left, it could...
a) ... approach the players and attack (okay, it makes no sense ingame, but it would end the mission quicker and with 100 % kills)
b) ... flee by moving to the edges of the map. (most realistic for a swarm-being who knows that all the others are dead)
c) ... give the player the choice: when the "win percentage" is reached he can: "Accept" (end get only the percentage of the points for the mission) or "Search the rest" (and thus gets 100 % of the points awarded)
I can remember not bothering at such searching times but my time has become more limited and thus wasting time on a mission that feels as if it was already completed has become an issue.
Keep up the good work! :) And tnx for the project!

That's a silly idea, sorry. I do understand the reason U ask it but it makes no sense.
There will be exit points (in dropships) once but exiting that will still mean defeat (not losing ones in dropship through).

there are missions with objectives - e.g. the fueldump mission. but in none objective missions you have to kill 100%

Could you please elaborate a bit on that mission? Is it available in normal gameplay, or do you have to explicitly start it via the console? From which revision on is this mission available?

It's not (yet?) in the campaign AFAIK.

what? it's the map fueldump - it's not yet in the campaign?

It is in maps.ufo, but I`m not sure, can currently missions be spawned without ufo. Also, in my opinion, that types of map|missions should be really spawned once a game ;-)

Where should it be? I didn't meet it. Also I *think* other win conditions than killing every alien not yet implemented.

Missions can be spawned wo UFO when they set up (alien) bases.

at least it's in the maps.ufo for "cold" terrains....
and other than "kill them all" win missions are implemented - see g_spawn.c Think_Mission
we even have a basic king of hill for multiplayer and singleplayer (but this isn't 100% ready yet).
