2. You definitely get the kill XP and some resources, but I'm not really certain on how that works. And holy crap I just had the worst week ever to be an XCOM operative. Two terror missions, swarming abduction, and base defense in a four day span. | ||

Does the 90%/70% thing reset for each reaction shot taken by the enemy? Example of Scout pathing: S -> [ x ] tile that triggers overwatch #1 -> -> -> [ x ] tile that triggers overwatch #2 -> So does the scout get 90% evasion for both instances or does it get 90% for the first trigger then 70% for the second trigger even though they were spaced out? It's 90% for 1st overwatch and 70% for all subsequent ones on that run, so if you trigger two separate overwatches on the same run you get 90% for 1st shot and 70% for second. Not sure when you trigger one overwatch with first move and then move the guy a second time and trigger another one but I'd guess it's 90 and 70 as well. | ||

How many soldiers are you people going to kill during the 13th? edit: Do you get anything for early Exalt captures? On my first mission, I captured one successfully but didn't notice if I got anything new. | ||

Two KIAs on the 13th. One of them being a really dumb mistake, thought I had suppressed an overwatching Muton so I ran it over to get two potential alien kills and he took two shots to the face. The other was part of what happens when you path poorly near UFOs. | ||

Lots of polishing (new Icons for classes, new voicepacks (!), adressing the MEC-tankiness, being able to set the "shortness" in Dynamic-war-option), and as always lots of balancing tweaks. Will take some time to digest the latter. What do you guys think of the individual country bonuses ? So far I rally like them, as countries aren't just another "Oh, I get more money there"-option anymore, but I wonder how this fits into the "no-satellite-spam-FTW-policy" LW has. I.e. if the bonuses are too weak, it's just flavor - but if they are too strong, we're back to fast Sat-spam again ... curious how this will pan out in the long run. | ||

I'm in June of the first year right now and haven't seen Heavy floaters yet, just got the first Mutons. | ||

Scouts are always traps. If it doesn't seem like a trap, it's probably a trap. When heavy floaters show up depends a bit on difficulty and how well the aliens are doing, in my campaign I think it was November or late October the first time I saw them but they haven't really showed up en masse until December. | ||

Edit: A few days later, swarming terror mission on Newfoundland. Didn't even know it was possible to spawn a terror mission on that map. 2 Sectoid Commanders (new species encountered yay!), 5 Sectoids, 2 Floaters, 1 Berserker, 7 Lids, 1 Drone, 2 Mechtoids (which came as a pod while the Commanders aggroed at the same time). + Show Spoiler [Image] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qbmD8cA.jpg) | ||
