O devs where are you? the last time they commented, it was two weeks ago...
Some questions about the Icefang (the ice tiger, aka SCP-354-15):
- according to SCP lore, the Icefang is "agile enough to dodge most gunfire". Anyway, in the game, I took it down with a Sharpshooter. For me, it's very convenient (since, on the contrary, the Magmatooth is canonically bulletproof), but is this by design? (maybe in-universe this unit is a so good sniper that the tiger does not see it coming?)
- according to SCP lore, the Icefang lost to the Magmatooth, so it's vulnerable to heat. And in game, it is, in fact I can take it down with a Magmatooth or flamethrowers. Anyway, it looks like it's immune to ground fires: it blinks red when it passes or stops on ground fires, but apparently it does not take damage! Is this by design? (Note that luckily for me, the Magmatooth takes damage from the ground fires).
Some other remarks:
- When I order the Retreat during a battle, sometimes my units (humans or monsters) turn around and... they continue performing the attack animation, but in the wrong direction, i.e. towards the other retreating units. I don't think they are really attacking their own friends, but it's confusing. And it's not just a visual thing: units that waste time attacking air are not retreating and so are more vulnerable.
- most bulletproof monsters, with the notable exception of bears, still recoil when hit by a Sharpshooter (of course they don't take damage), but at the same time, they don't budge under a shower of 12 level-3-empowered machine guns... is this by design? It is not just a visual thing: the recoil temporarily stops them, if just for a seconds, but that second can be precious.
- about machine guns: the Research menu and its descriptions say "Gattling" all over the place, but the Personnel entry for Blitzstorm units correctly says "Gatling" (except maybe in this universe Richard Jordan Gatling was named Gattling instead!)
