Hi Petr, 

Nice to hear from you again.

> Nades: The bugs are pretty well fixed. Throwing nades out of / into windows and doors works perfectly. Only when standing next to a building and trying to throw very close to the corner of the building, the nade sometimes bounces off the roof or the corner. But I think it is ok if there remains some risk when handling with nades.

that's good to hear ;)

> The increased damage inflicted by the nades creates a good balance compared to other weapons now. Anyway, I think at the end of the game there could be even more powerful and longer ranged nades, to create a balance to the more effective weapons that become available at this stage.

In a future version, I will add under-barrel grenade launchers, which will have longer range

> AI nades: AI throws far less nades and with less skill than in the previous version. I think you could improve the skill and the number of nades a little bit. I played a whole campaign without getting hit a single time by a nade.

I was worried that AI throwing grenades would make it too hard for players, because they're hard to defend against and cause a lot of damage. In the next version soldiers have a grenade skill attribute, which will allow them to throw grenades further. I will make soldiers throw more grenades in harder levels.

> AI tactics: I like the defend building strategy that the AI sometimes chooses. Anyway the tactics sometimes are not really coherent: If an overpowering enemy uses half of its power to forward attack and the other half to camp buildings on the other side of the map, he loses his major advantage. All or most of the enemy forces should stick to a single strategy.

I thought it would make the game more interesting having different enemy employing different strategies in the same battle. I will consider making them stick to the same strategy.

> Strategic map: When attacking an overpowering enemy I can place my soldiers next to the retreat zone and wait for the enemy to attack. When I realize the enemy is about to win, I simply retreat, get my soldiers healed in the hospital and then attack again. I think this somehow could be considered a cheat. Suggestion: There should be a penalty when retreating, for example the enemy recovers his former strength.

Yes, I could do that.

> Bug: When using this strategy and an own soldier dies in battle, his weapons are returned to the inventory, although I left them on the battlefield when retreating.

I will fix that.

> Strategic map: I think there could be more missions. I can't even get near to the maximum skills available for my soldiers when the game is already won.

I could also just make the soldiers gain skill points faster.

> Bug: Sometimes the death animations do strange things to the dropped weapons. A gun can keep spinning on the ground or instead of being dropped, it is thrown for a long distance, as happened here (the gun at the top of the image was "dropped" by the enemy at the bottom of the image):

I will look into it
