I don't see any problem with not knowing this stat from the beginning. In fact, I think it just makes the game more interesting.
Oh, how COOL is when you have 3 GROUNT soldier in the final mission, and the oher 17 GENERALS are controlled by the aliens!
I wonder why people sometimes don't see any problem with the case.

I suppose if it weren't a game and aliens really invaded the Earth, you'd complain to them too, "No fair!" :P I guess an adventure game would also be bad if it had any surprise in the plot.

The USMC say, "Improvise, Adapt and Overcome."

If that happens then you'll probably lose the game

Also, don't take those weak minded generals in the final mission. By that time you should know which ones of your soldiers can be controlled by the aliens.

You simply don't know how the game works, that's all.

All the stats of a rookie are pretty much evened out when you hire one. This mean that if some stats are very high than others must be very low. If you keep hiring squaddies who have 60 aim and 60 TU and the other stats don't suck either...

Your own fault.

As soon as I reach the later stages I always tend to make sure I have enough high PSI troops for the final bases and the end game.

If you're careful with your money (and selling lots of laser cannons or whatever), you can spend a lot of time sorting through your soldiers and hiring new ones until you have enough of a certain quality.

I however miss the time when people actually used the Games Discussion forum to actually discuss the games themselves...
