Hints and Tips:
---------------
-= Before your first mission =-
* Play the tutorial. It teaches core movement, TU costs, kneeling, and shooting modes.
* Always open the equipment screen before deploying. Forgetting weapons or ammo ends
  missions fast.
* Kneel when you have enough TU left; it shrinks your target profile and improves
  accuracy.

-= Time Units and combat =-
* Every action spends TU, including turning, crouching, and changing fire mode. Do not
  spend your last TU unless the soldier is safe behind cover.
* Keep TU in reserve for reaction fire during the alien turn.
* Use multiple fire modes (snap, aimed, burst) instead of always firing snap shots.
* Soldier facing matters for reaction fire and flanking. Clear one angle at a time
  instead of rushing into crossfires.
* Flashbangs and suppression are core tools. Suppression from nearby hits can pin
  aliens down for safer pushes.
* Riot shields help scouts survive the first contact on open maps.
* Automated weapon platforms replace the old scout vehicle. They recon cheaply, pack
  missiles for groups, and are easier to repair than soldiers, but draw heavy fire.

-= UFO and base missions =-
* Terrain and UFO hulls are fully destructible. Do not spam explosives inside a UFO
  you want to recover; blown wreckage means lost alien tech loot.
* Many missions have alternate win conditions so you are not stuck hunting the last
  sectoid in a wardrobe.
* After you recover a UFO type twice, repeat captures of that class cost Operations
  Points, which reduces grind on familiar crash sites.

-= Strategy layer =-
* Watch the Geoscape constantly. Shoot down scouts before they complete missions.
* Research keeps pace with new alien types; prioritize weapons, armor, and aircraft
  upgrades early.
* Tail landed UFOs or supply ships to find alien bases. Interceptors can stumble on
  landed craft if routed over the right region.
* Air combat is a manual minigame: keep interceptors outside enemy firing arcs while
  staying in your own cones. Auto-resolve is fine for lopsided fights, but manual
  control saves damaged planes.
* Expect casualties on higher difficulties. Train replacements and specialize roles
  (scout, shield bearer, grenadier, machine gunner) instead of making every soldier
  identical.

-= Version 1.0 notes =-
* Full 1.0 launch hit Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store on April 2, 2026 with mod
  support groundwork and performance fixes. Check equipment and save before major
  updates if you rely on -cheatmode testing.
