As in, one where your soldiers can shoot them with ease on your turn.

It gets taken Up to Eleven when they first try to shoot you through a wall, and only after that walk a few steps into a better firing position. They also spend a lot of time trying to shoot you through solid objects like walls and their own crashed ships.Aliens are still not smart enough to storm your base properly (they will just wander around at the entrance instead of going in for the kill).None of the soldiers are armed and they just run around. Most jarring during the mission where you need to protect military convoy.They do try to make them smarter recently though. They don't try to take cover or run from aliens that are attacking them, even get in your way during the crossfire. Civilians still oddly behave like those in X-Com.

Aliens also doesn't know how to pick up items from the ground, and if they run out of reloads, they will just stupidly walk around like an idiot unless they have a melee weapon. And while they are at it, they often bunch up together allowing a single soldier to kill a number of them in a single turn, especially if you have explosive weapons or flamethrowers.Artificial Stupidity - Some aliens allow themselves to hide in places where grenades can be dropped on them.Antimatter - Played with: Humans can barely make a few molecules at a time with the comtempory tech, while the aliens seem to be able to fill particle accelerator weapon magazines and spacecraft fuel cans with grams of it.Alien Invasion - You read the title, right?.The robotic bloodspiders expectedly drip black grease instead. Alien Blood - Played straight with Orthoks which have green blood, but averted with Tamans which have red.Alien Autopsy - Performing one allows you to see that species' stats.The monomolecular blade doesn't do quite as much damage, but attacks faster, weighs less, and is small enough to be carried in a holster, thus making it a viable backup weapon that effectively obsoletes the standard Combat Knife. The Kerrblade does slightly more damage, but as it's not a purpose-built weapon it's rather bulky and unwieldy. Both go through flesh like it's butter and Kevlar like it's paper, and generally One-Hit Kill unarmored (or even armored) targets. Absurdly Sharp Blade - The alien Kerrblade is a dissection tool, while the human-made monomolecular blades are merely terrifyingly sharp and made a little like Katana.

Ace Pilot - Your pilots will eventually become these if you manage them well, although pilot stats have not been implemented so they are equally effective no matter how many kills they've racked up.

The current release version as of this writing is 2.4, released in late April 2012. UFO: Alien Invasion is a Quake II engine-based open source freeware strategy game that is effectively a direct remake of X-COM, though it adds several new mechanics, changes up many of the old ones, and adds a completely new (and really rather good) story. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace.

All new trope pages will be made with the 'Trope Workshop' found on the 'Troper Tools' menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.

Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.

All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the 'fair use' licensing to an image may have it deleted.

Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
