Up to Crazy difficulty, I have pretty good success with a brand new captain by himself on Gauntlet just running for the extract. There is a purple or two to be dealt with at the start, but once a blue gets in front of their spawn point the purples can't get past the blue (I still think it would be cool if the impatient purple killed the blue to get past it). There is always a conga line of aliens gnawing at my metal backside but I just won 4 out of 5 times on Crazy, without spending any experience so it was still a brand new captain each time.
Doesn't work on Brutal tho. Too many purples.
and, pardon my nitpick, Evasion combines with Strength. For captain, its marginally better to have Strength4 and Quick3 than the other way around.

Right, sorry. Kept thinking Evasion with Quickness... But, anyway, maxed Strength out too. Who wouldn't, eh?
I'm still trying to find out if there's a limit to Skills. My Evasion is 28 now. I'm getting a lot of critical hits with new skirmish campaigns. I wonder if the xenos are programmed to be stronger there.

I've got a problem with some text and combat. While playing on Android Gingerbread (Samsung Galaxy Young) i've got half of the screen covered in black with only "turn" and "weapon" buttons visible. Well- after scrolling the screen (which becomes quite thin) i'm actually able to play, but it's pretty annoying. Is there any solution for that?

on last 2 levels in dark age campaign, when I get to the extraction, I have to align my squad in a specific way (there are six fields and four templars) in order to obtain victory... I think the victory should be obtained if they all reach any of the fields..
this is really a minor bug but when bunch of aliens are on your tail it is hard to guess right alingment for victory...

The blood splatter is a cool visual and its a little disappointing that once there is blood on the ground, subsequent hits have no more visual effect. I know this is a programming project, but It would be awesome if there were progressively heavier blood splatter as multiple splashes land on the same square. Until then, would it be hard to make a second splatter icon and alternate between them so we can see when we land a second hit? You could just mirror image the current icons.

bluedreamer - i will take a look at the exit area on this level. @ricos - great suggestion. Even a simple alternative (back and forth) would give everyone a bit more satisfaction!

I would like the ability to drop weapons.

bluedreamer - i will take a look at the exit area on this level. The lightning bolts all work as exits, but there are more orange squares than lightning bolts and you can't see where the lightning is until you are already there. You could remove the extra orange squares. As I recall, the end of the Rescue in Infernus has a mission taking control of a ship where there are extraneous orange squares near the important ones |

Yeah, the second to last mission. There are orange squares all over the map, but specifically there are 5 on the bridge and your objective is to put a templar on each one. The 4 that are the actual objective have lightning bolts but, again, you have to get close enough to see that and new players won't know to look for it

Did someone mention replacing the cp/ammo counter in the lower right corner with a kill / turn# counter? As it is, its redundant to have another cp/ammo readout, but a kill count would be cool and I always miss the short notification of what turn it is

But...doesn't it say the percentage chance of a critical?

It changes, during movement it shows cp/ammo, but when you target an alien it shows hp and critical. Keep the combat info the way it is, but change the redundant info during movement.

The neptune trooper's name is Marcus Vader? Sounds like a little-known star wars character.
"Luke I am your father! And his too... this is a little awkward but I thought you and your mother were dead and Mon Mothma was a young red headed nurse in the burn ward. I sort of forgot to call her afterwards and I think that's why she started this rebellion to get back at me... well anyway this is your half brother Marcus. Marcus Vader."
