Last time I played was probably in one of the final experimentals before 0.C. What should I look forward to, as in changes to mechanics, and potential new zombie types / name changes?

Lots of stuff, check the keybinds for the run option that consumes stamina, and I would advise to use [Coolthulhu’s patch](http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=14767.0). As guns’ accuracy is broken and it fixes it.

Although I will say xcom 2 was an improvement. Unfortunately the guy who I think made the original games is also apparently in on this system as the new game he is making Phoenix point is also going to use a similar system. Well at least we have xenonauts and open x-com.

jagged alliance 2 and the DLC wasn’t that great, it wasn’t bad though, save it for when you’re jonesin, but i’ve literally played years of JA2, it’s still by far the best turn based strategy game ever made.

which is ironic, given the more recent ones were the absolute worst turn based strategy games ever made.
