Can your plebs die?

Is it X-Com in the sense that you grow attached to your plebs but eventually mourn them in the atrophy of the campaign. Or does the mission simply fail.

It says that every agent must stay alive. Presumably the mission will just fail if that's going to happen. As for now no one of my agents has died.

Those are named characters indeed.

But like in X-com there is a capture mechanic.

if your agents "die" in a mission they get captured and you can free them later with a mission.

There is setting regarding agents dying (3 options):
1) Needs to be healed at base after mission
2) Gets captured, you might get mission to rescue them later
3) RIP

2 seems to be the default option. Every agent must stay alive concerns only the tutorial missions.


(Note that I have not yet experienced this, this is just what the custom game settings tell you when starting a new campaign)
