Therefore, soldiers armed with pistols, and other weapons with low TU costs are often able to get the first shot on an enemy armed with a heavier and deadlier weapon. Both aliens and humans can reserve TUs for reaction fire, however, and if the actor sees an enemy perform actions with equal or greater TU cost, during their turn, they will fire. All actions in Tactical mode require Time Units to perform and once a soldier is out of Time Units, the soldier cannot do anything more until the next turn. Each soldier gets a certain number of Time Units (TUs), representing the total time they have to act during the current turn. During the player's turn the troops can be ordered to move around, fire their weapons, throw grenades or use other equipment. Tactical mode uses a turn-based system, where the human team and the aliens take turns to make moves. Instead of pushing impersonal armies around on giant maps, the players uses only the team of soldiers assigned to deal with this mission (as of 2.5, the maximum number of player-controlled actors is 12). In Tactical mode, the player takes command of a team of soldiers in various missions to combat the aliens wherever they might appear. The player receives money from supporting countries (based on effectiveness at dealing with aliens in their area) monthly, but the majority of the money comes from selling loot like alien weaponry or materials collected from successful tactical missions. All items in the game, ranging from weaponry to alien building materials take up space and need storage facilities. The player can build additional facilities (provided they have enough base space) and hire employees (provided they have enough living space) to increase the speed of production, research, or to replace soldiers lost in combat. Research will progress and items will be produced as time passes. Geoscape mode employs easy-to-use time buttons to control the passage of time, automatically pausing whenever there's an important message. The player can build, buy and produce anything available, as long as technology level and budget will allow it. Interceptor aircraft can be launched to shoot down UFOs and dispatch dropships in response to alien activity across the globe. Once researched, new technologies may be used in battle against the aliens. The player directs the activities and finances of PHALANX, controlling bases, installations, aircraft and squads of armed-response troops. Geoscape mode deals with base management and strategy. Like the original X-COM games, UFO:AI has two main modes of play: Geoscape mode and Tactical (also known as Battlescape) mode. The game aims to combine military realism with hard science-fiction and the weirdness of an alien invasion and the turn-based system is supposed to give the player pin-point control of the squad while maintaining a sense of pace and danger. However, it is neither a sequel nor a remake of any X-COM or other commercial title: "What we as a team wanted to make is a brand new experience that tries to surpass the quality of games from 1992, rather than simply recreate them with flashier graphics." UFO: Alien Invasion is a squad-based tactical strategy game in the tradition of the classic X-COM series of games (the player controls a secret organization charged with defending Earth from a brutal alien enemy). The wiki actually gives you the exact command that you have to run to install all necessarily components.The game takes inspiration from the X-COM series by Mythos Games and MicroProse. I only know that in your system is also easy to install new features and someone here can help you if they stumble on this thread. How you do it is beyond me as I use openSuse and have no experience with Debian/Ubuntu. The link in the wiki says what packages you need to install to compile and also to run the game. Think of it like that: under windows it would throw you an error that you do not have drivers to your graphics card installed or something equal. Your problem now is that you do not have all the system components installed. You could also run the game probably by using the './ufoai/ufo' command just after starting your console. You can check if the directory that you are in right now has the file you want to run by using the 'ls' command. The './' means that you want to run the script from the current directory. The 'cd' command does that Then you type the run command with for every program looks different, in our case it is 'ufo'. First you have to go into the directory of the game. Yes, sorry for not being clear, but I posted the link so you see only what components you have to install to your system to run the game.
