Love what you guys are doing, great game, but was there a hiring freeze in the evil alien invaders union?
I started a mission earlier thismorning, and there were literally no aliens there. I cannot recall the location name, but it was the same level as was the second mission, playing on 'very easy' mode [was seeing what the difference in the difficulties were].
They didn't even take a turn, which is another reason i was certain that there were none of them. [typically it says 'team 7's turn starting', which wasn't displayed]. As further confirmation, upon aborting the mission [which wouldn't end, and I couldn't figure out how to terminate it successfully], it even said that there were no aliens at the site, yet presented me with a defeat.
This is likely already documented, but I couldn't find it upon searching your forums.
On the same note, there was a point atwhich the aliens just stopped making new missions, allowing me hundreds of consecutive days to research to my hearts content.
Wish I had it running in debug through my ide at the time, I'd try to give you all more information : /
Seriously though, its obviously a work in progress, but this thing is neato
*edit* rc4, winXP
