Jester from Rival Theory here (makers of RAIN and Squad Command). Thanks for the shout-out! \r<br\/>\r<br\/>That's exactly what we had in mind when we build Squad Command. We wanted devs to take the package, tweak it to suit their needs and add an interesting gameplay component to make it unique own!

Tip for lizard455: try to convert the guys in the *back* of a group, so they can shoot their ex-friends from behind.  If you convert a guy that everyone else is already facing, they'll mow him down instantly."},{"author_name":"tajger","author_uid":"50870","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 11:24am","epoch":1429874340,"text":"Excellent!

Most of the time a converted ennemy is just a dead ennemy since it will 95% of the time die instantly due to the grouping mechanic. The audio is really exhausting.
