The squad controls are sliiiiick. You're scratching that Rainbow Six/SWAT itch for me and I approach the missions mainly working with my squads rather than getting in direct engagements, just like I did back in old R6. Man, I missed go-codes. I enjoy retrying missions, trying to arrest as many culprits as possible.

Only issue I had with the command selection wheel was the fact that if I kept holding the mouse button as mission ended, my cursor remained locked. Also the selection wheel itself feels a bit unresponsive, something which I struggled with in my game before.

Love that fantasy races work as different classes, when I have more time to play, I'll be experimenting with different compositions and equipment. The writing is pleasantly quirky. Music is pretty fun and adds to the atmosphere.

Thanks for playing and I'm glad you liked the game, the fact that it clicks with R6/SWAT veterans means that I'm on the right track.

Good find.

Yeah I'll need to fiddle with it, the problem is that I get used to the unresponsiveness so it's hard to be impartial when changing it.

Nice.
There'll be more officers by next DD too

Hell yeah, can't wait for new stuff. Played a bit more and I gotta say I love the moments when a guy raises his hands up but uses the opportunity to ambush you if you lose sight of him without cuffing. raises the tension a lot.

I did take a squad of tranq dart goblins once and I found that some tangos will remain uncompliant and can't be subdued/shouted down and arrested. I end up having to kill them, with a few kicks. I would like to request an option to cuff a guy persuaded that way.

If I add the ability to arrest stunned suspects then there'd be very few downsides to less lethal weapons and I wanna avoid the vanilla SWAT 4 situation where there's almost no reason not to use the pepperball gun.
Less lethal is already a bit too strong since it can keep targets stunned even through some defensive effects that would usually nullify all damage

I already made it so being stunned incurs a morale penalty, but I get it that it's annoying when enemies don't surrender no matter what. Morale bonuses and maluses will get some adjusting, eventually.
