Rank: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:16, 6 May 2008

This article is about the ranks an X-COM soldier can achieve, for alien ranks see Alien Ranks

Your soldiers can advance to higher ranks with experience, assuming you have a large enough number of soldiers to justify the promotion.

Higher ranked soldiers that are still in battle help keep morale high in an event of a a causalty. However, when they are killed or incapacited it means that the other soldiers suffer a big morale loss which could mean that they will panic or go berserk. You may find it useful for your highest ranked officers to act as a Rear Commander.
