All units, both X-Com and alien, have a line of sight. A unit's line of sight encompasses any objects or other units which are:

  • Within visible range (21 spaces during the day, 7 at night (possibly fewer?))
  • Not blocked by terrain or other units
  • Within the unit's field of vision

All units have a 90 degree field of vision, radiating outward in a cone in whichever direction they are facing.

[need diagrams of field of vision for units facing along the grid as well as diagonally -- can you see to your immediate left, or only diagonal left? Also need diagrams of LOS around corners/beyond roofs]]
