In it, each of your characters has certain traits that evolve through random events, some of which have a (small) chance of outright killing the soldier for good if you take the high-risk, high-reward option I.E. become a magical badass with a chance of being pulled into another dimension.Combat itself has a chance of wounding your soldiers and soldiers that are already wounded are killed, but as long as you patch up your soldiers between combats, they have only a miniscule chance of dying (I'd guess <1%) so when they do - especially a veteran of fifty or a hundred missions - it's pretty shocking. Once your soldiers get old enough, they become "Mature" and when they would normally be wounded there's a chance they'll die instead.It has a nice balance - death is always a chance, rare enough that it's shocking, but common enough that every mission you worry that you might lose someone, especially with your most elite troops which are usually aged veterans - your best troops but also the most likely to die.</blockquote>
