*coughs* If you really want to take on Mutons, get XCcomUtil and turn on Enhanced Lasers. It doesn't actually improve any of them other than the Heavy Laser and makes anything better than a Laser Pistol cost Elerium, but it does bring the Heavy Laser into its rightful place.

Although it does cost 5E 1A (Laser Tanks are better too and cost 10E 5A).

Woohooo 1300th post.

My Ufo: Enemy Unknown always crashes before my second mission when I press "ok". What can I do about that? I downloaded the game yesterday...

Hey Guest, I don't know much about the technical stuff (ok, I know NOTHING) BUT I can tell you this... the 80 or something pages thread has a LOT of tek help, I am sure you will find what you need somewhere in there. Yes, I know, its a LONG thread, but the game is worht it...

Wich makes me wonder... could this be THE longest game related -spam free- thread EVER? heh.

ANyway, back to UFO... after givin it a couple of days rest, I came back to the game, this time nothing but earth technology.. found it difficult but playable. On the other hand, it occurs to me now that, once you know how to play it (what to research, how to build your bases, etc) the game IS rather short. Not a complaint, just an observation...

*coughs*

Oh my lord, so that's what makes me cough all of the time!

Etherials and Mutons are very hard to kill with human tech, especially after 'beginner' difficulty. You will basically want a whole team kitted out with Large Rocksts. Otherwise, you will die. A lot.

Why there is such a long thread for a game like this? Is that really that good?

In two game magazines I used to read this game was number one, followed by civilization 2 at second place. Third magazine had them just switched.

So, yes, this game is that good! Replayable many, many times!

EDIT: Cool avatar, bahman! k: LOL

This game is better than just good, it is on my list of top 10 games of all time. Not number one (Colonial Conquest) but still in the top 10! For many people it is the number one game...
It is actualy the first game ever that I saw in a dream, it is that good.

Yeah, you could replay it pretty much forever, it really is nice. Not too many mods, though, paart from XComUtil, but that's more a set of utilities than anything else.
