m3my Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Hello, I have been playing EW for a while, now I am just after alien base. But about the medals, at the begins I was getting some medals, acually a lot in a short time, but after few missions and getting like 10 medals I am not getting more medals anymore and i still didnt get the last one medal. Please is it possible to made a mod, that would actually make like one medal for two completed mission. Because like from 1/3 of game I am at now, there is no more medals at all. And these medals are pretty awesome idea to this game, shame it seems they didnt made it right. EDIT: I was reading something about medals, and it is only about increasing cap of how many medals you can have at time. There is 12 medals maximum, every medal has there own cap. Thanks in advance for any reply. Also Big thanks to all modders for your hard work you are doing. Edited November 19, 2013 by m3my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3my Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 See before you move. Another idea, that I think is impossible to made, but would be very useful. That when you would like to move your unit into some position, you would see which enemy he will have in sight before you move into that position, like that the aliens head in the right corner would be visible before you would make that move and have there just mouse cursor. Because this game lacks of it. Sometimes you move near to enemy and you cant shoot him or you move your second units near the first, which spotted some enemies and the second guy cant see anyone, just because you moved him one square behind the line of sight.

xX893kiraXx Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Strongly Agreed w/ unlimited medals cap! It will be totally cool but i guess for balance reason 2k limited it but it is really stupid you are limited to 12 capped. 2k should make a mechanic earning a medal is not capped but based on mission performance and soldier who have more kills are the only one who can received a medal. I think this mechanic i suggested could balance the medals intead of limiting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
