Blast effects & smoke (from explosive area weapons & grenades) can cause stun damage. X-Com soldiers in Power Suits & _some_ aliens are immune to smoke inhalation damage. Check out the grey line on the red health bar (you need the Mind Probe to see alien stats). When grey > red, the alien/soldier becomes unconcious stunned. Don't forget that aliens can wake up (but not pick up weapons chasing down an unarmed alien to finish the mission can be real waste of time). Medi-kits can revive unconcious soldiers. Research alien stun bombs & the small launcher if you want an efficient way to stun aliens from a distance. : Also when you capture live aliens, is there a difference in information you : find out if you research on the capture alien instead of a dead alien? Yeah, definitely research live aliens. As well as race info you can also get additional info depending on the alien's job. (I research, in order of importance: Commander, Leader, Engineer, Navigator, Soldier, Medic). -- IY.
