Where should the country go? It's not customizable but it's not really a stats either. --Cyrwa 15:31, 20 September 2012 (EDT)
- I'd say here. I'm going to edit the page in a bit so that this page simply list all soldier related topics, then specific topics can be expanded on their individual pages like Classes. - Hobbes 16:26, 20 September 2012 (EDT)
- I think it would be better to keep the flags on the Attributes page like it was before. There's more important info and it's better to keep pages short. Hobbes 15:03, 1 October 2012 (EDT)
- No prob, I agree and I will let you move the section where it should be. As long as I can see the flags ;-) --Cyrwa 16:00, 1 October 2012 (EDT)
- I can't believe it, my boss is waiting for me to finish my Employees performance review and I'm editing a wiki page on soldier country for a video game... That's XCOM baby!!

Rank icons?
They would look better if I knew how to access the files directly from the game rather than having to take a screenshot and crop in Paint. Robbx213 18:49, 5 October 2012 (EDT)
- I don't know either where they are located - but it's nice to start putting them even if you don't complete it - someone will notice and can improve on it later.Hobbes 06:24, 6 October 2012 (EDT)
- Love the icons. Would help. --Cyrwa 09:46, 6 October 2012 (EDT)
- I did PM Greg in the 2K forum quite som time ago, asking if a fansite kit (with icons, screen, graphics) would get released. So far no answer. But exporting the assets directly from the game would be nice. If that is possible and legal. --Kokkan 11:51, 6 October 2012 (EDT)
- Copyright law allows for copyrighted materials to be freely used for educational proposes, among other exceptions. Since the propose of the wiki is to teach and inform players about the game/series, then it can be argued that it's legal to use such images to create your own original material (on this case the wiki's pages) - what you can't do simply copy the game files or whole sections of text/pages. In any case it's in the best interest of Firaxis to have images of the game being used by the fanbase for marketing and promotion. Hobbes 12:09, 6 October 2012 (EDT)

Soldier Status
While several of the status for soldiers make sense, I'm curious as to "Tired" and "Exhausted". Also curious about the difference between "Wounded" and "Gravely Wounded." Originally I thought that Wounded might mean you could still send the guy out at reduced capacity (ala UFO Afterblank) and Gravely Wounded meant he was too hurt to deploy, but that's clearly not the case...
