Geez I just finished reading this entire thread , It took me ages ! I've been playing this game for years and I'm a UFO addict !

Some of you keep refering to commandos , I've never seen this rank during all my years of playing the game , I've got a commander but you can only have one of those.

How do you get your troops to become commandos ? I've got a colonel who has 67 confirmed kills and monster stats but he hasn't been promoted to commando.

I think they are refering to the Commander rank (highest rank in the game, afaik) or simply to the fact that after a long tour of duty in XCom, the soldiers with awesome stats are commandos in our heads, even if not labeled so by the game.

Yes some use commando's differently. For most it is the Commander Rank, but obviously you only get so many of them.

Commando's are generally the best soldiers youve got. They tend to be highly experienced and have very good stats. Also it sucks and you feel like reloading the game everytime they die :bleh:

@Squaddie, must have taken you a long time to go through over 100 pages of UFO, although you must have found a lot of repeats. Luckily for me I only had to go through 30-odd pages, brings back memories looking through the posts.

dla odmiany powiem coś w języku polskim:
kocham X-com! jest to chyba najlesza gra w jaką grałem! Jedyną która może jej dorównać jest Jagged Aliance 2 ale i tak troche jej brakuje. Ewentualnie Terror from the Deep jest jeszcze ciekawe ale czegoś jej brakuje... who knows Polish this will understand
:blink:

You hit it right on the spot there,

I lost my most experienced trooper last night , A Colonel with 88tu and monster stats
the guy managed to whack 87 alien dirtbags before they got him , I thought about reloading the game but that would feel like cheating.

I love the blaster launcher !!

My team of 20 commandoes equipped with the weapon and psi amps wiped out an entire battleship in just one turn without cassualties !!!

Blaster kills ! And by the way, 20 commandos are far too many. 8 or 10 would be more than enough, particularly if you use blaster launcher. :whistle:

[adamaster]

with blasters? 5 is more than enough.

pffft ! you can never have to many blasters....

Why is 20 to much ? Is it bad sending that many men ?
