Game 748: SteveSmith, Deadlime in Alien*

I'll probably go and lose after saying this, but I think 15 squares is too far for the Alien Queen to hear. Maybe 10-12 would be better?

Ha ha, I doubt it.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing myself. I think 10 squares might be worth trying. The overall it feels a lot closer to being balanced now, but I think it has tilted the other way and is currently too difficult for the humans. 10 squares hearing for the Alien might make the difference. Overall the mission is pretty good now. Playing as the humans it certainly feels more like you are up against a deadly Alien now than it did before. It has a good sense of suspense.

Yeah, it does seem like a great mission, it just needs a bit of tweaking. I'll change it to 10 and start another mission, with opposite sides?

Well played. Yeah, sounds good to me. :)

I've just remembered that we originally had the Alien Queen's hearing set to 10 squares and we decided it wasn't far enough (http://127.0.0.1/dsr/forums/ForumPostingsPage.cls?topic=799#pid2471). Shall we try 11?

Didn't we decide that without actually trying it? I don't think we every tried 10 squares of hearing. We forgot to try it in advanced mode, remember? And then we altered the unit stats and increased the hearing range all at the same time before that last game.

I'm happy to try with 10 squares.

No probs, I'll keep it at 10.
