- Any given soldier can also be in multiple squads, so you could, for example, have two squads with the same members but different gear to make it easier to switch around for different enemies. | - Any given soldier can also be in multiple squads, so you could, for example, have two squads with the same members but different gear to make it easier to switch around for different enemies. | ||
- Much like X-Com, you should never leave your factories idle, even though you can't sell things in this game. At the start, when you can't really make much, make some suit repair kits and dynamite, which will be very useful in later missions. If you ever have down time where you don't especially need to make anything, crank out ammunition - you can never have too much! | - Much like X-Com, you should never leave your factories idle, even though you can't sell things in this game.

- Early research: projectile weapons are a LOT more versatile and a LOT easier to get up and running than lasers - you can make rifles after researching one tech, but to get to lasers you need to research about four techs, and capture some territories to get the somewhat rare materials needed to produce lasers. You don't have nearly enough ammo at the start to be able to hold off that long. | - Early research: projectile weapons are a LOT more versatile and a LOT easier to get up and running than lasers TEMPORARY-DASH-CHARACTER you can make rifles after researching one tech, but to get to lasers you need to research about four techs, and capture some territories to get the somewhat rare materials needed to produce lasers.

- That said, before researching Firearms you may want to research Military Training first of all. The sooner your guys get combat skills, the better. | - That said, before researching Firearms you may want to research Military Training first of all.

- After that, try to get to Heavy Suits once it opens up. Heavy suits are larger, can't run or crouch, and require Minor and Major Suit Wearing training, but Beastman weapons will pound the living daylights out of you without them, and Beastman Alchemists fire grenades that will knock you down. They also look really cool. | - After that, try to get to Heavy Suits once it opens up.

- Speaking of grenades, Minor Stability is a good skill as it makes your guys less likely to fall over in the blast. Other good trainings include Minor Toughness for higher max HP, and Minor/Major Beastman Anatomy, since Beastmen are the most abundant and the strongest opposing faction. Major Toughness is a double-edged sword - while it prevents your guys from going unconscious when their green HP is gone, it means they're still a target for enemies until they're completely dead. | - Speaking of grenades, Minor Stability is a good skill as it makes your guys less likely to fall over in the blast.

- The war may be the main focus of the game, but don't forget that the goal of your time on Mars is to terraform it! Research Terraforming fairly early on and get your science buggy out there planting terraforming stations sooner rather than later. | - The war may be the main focus of the game, but don't forget that the goal of your time on Mars is to terraform it!
