Hello all,
First of all I would like to say thanks for making this game. I have enjoyed it alot so far, and it makes me glad to see people do this open source. I am a big fan of the whole X-Com type game series, and of turn based strategy games in general.
My question concerns the situation where your troops are in a tight corridor, with a gaggle of civilians. Is there an easy way to get them to move aside? It seems difficult at times to get to the rooms that they are blocking off. Maybe I missed the command on the list somewhere. The best I can manage to do is either wait for them to move so there is an opening to sneak through, or take a long route around to them, if it even exists. Is stunning them an option once you get ahold of that sort of weaponry? I know on some games that was considered a lethal attack to a civilian.
I have scanned some of the civilian related threads, so I realize their AI is limited at best. I wouldn't mind that much as long as I could get them out of the way and maybe corral them in a "safe" room.
Anyway, thanks for your attention, and keep up the good work!
Cheers,
