Laser Squad Nemesis (by the creators of X-Com) now has a new race - the
Alien Grays - as seen in the first X-Com game.

This is good stuff! I've been playing some hotseat games, and the Greys are
pretty tough. The Greys are an interesting bunch with wierd tech, big guns,
mind control powers, and flying saucers, of course.

Your implying that the game now has a single player mode.  Is that true?

When I last had time to play as July and there was none then.

There is no single player overall tactical AI, but you can play a hotseat game
where both sides are played by a person at a single computer. In this case, all
of the people controlling a side were me. This works out pretty well if you try
to second-guess what a given faction's next move would be given what they saw
in playback.

This I got from the Laser Squad Nemesis site: 
(http://www.lasersquadnemesis.com/)


Will LSN become like the X-Com games?

The answer is yes, and more. We are currently developing an AI system
for LSN which will be better and more sophisticated than the AI we
developed for the X-Com games. We are also developing a massively
multiplayer online strategy game based on LSN - something which X-Com
lacked. We are also planning to build a more ambitious single player
exeperience reminiscent of the first X-Com game (aka. UFO: Enemy
Unknown) with a 'geoscape' world view, RPG elements and resource
management. X-Com was just the beginning - LSN is the future.



Well, I hope soo..

regards,
tiago
