Well ive seen him once but ive blasted him to bits as i said.
Ive let them loose? Yer right from the begining i shot down only those ships.

X - probes(x)
X - scout(s)
2 - Fast atack ship(s)
2 - asault ship(s)
2 - Escort(s)

X = I don't remember.

Thats all (In 12 weeks)

Recently ive shot down an large UFO (Waiting to raid)
Overspawn (ALIVE)
GODZILLA [MEGASPAWN (dead)]

[AntarcticTiger]

I only happened to fight the Overspawn once, but, like some others said, that was before I decided my ships needed a whole change of tactics and armament. If you see the mothership (or battleship, I'm not sure which ones drop it), let it be until it deploys the Overspawn. I think you need an entire alien containment facility to keep it's cadaver after you kill it.

I can say that the Overspawn is the only reason I used the Griffon Tank.

...Don't you need to do the autopsy on the Overspawn to unlock something, though?

The Megaspawn is droped from the batleship.

Ive got the large UFO it was the mothership ive sent the artefacts to my reasearch base but when it got there the base got flatened by ufos.
Next In response i shot down two batleships and two green ufos and captured one each (in the green one ive were atacked by an agresive pudle witc passed out when i used Fredy Krugers* PSI).

Whats that blue thing (SPORES?) droped from Motherships.
And what do i need to build an better combat ship.
+ How to defend my bases im equiped with 3 Hawks with Med Disruptors but i always loose at least one base AND alweys its the reasearch base full of artifacts :ranting: .

3 Don't you need to do the autopsy on the Overspawn to unlock something, though?

1 No only 60%

2 Yes tanks are useless against anything but i have 2 in every base so they can take some enemy fire instead the base
I dont use them on the overspawn coz the mutcha can walk of the road or eat your tank.
+ they are too slow to get to an disaster.

3 In my game it didnt unlock anything.

yes i know its bod of me 2 ask but are there any working cheat codes for the version of the game available on abandonia....as i have completed the game several times an would like some codes so that i can mess around in the game. All the codes i have found dont work so i'm at a loss...any help would be appreciated.

Great game by the way realt big fan of x-com series.

I red this thread from the beginning to the end. Lots of good tips and hints, thx for them. May I ask what i need to do to get those disruptor bombs and such... Im almoust completed researching that alien shield thing, and i have researched devastator cannon too... what else i need? And as a hint for the brainsucker problems, if a brainsucker pod is shot towards u, and it lands next to u ( in real time mode) stop the game when it hits ground and pick it up from the ground. the bs pod wont open. I should try the game on higher difficulty lvls, the first 5 or 6 weeks are so easy :roflol: im on 6th i believe. Im glad that i started to research the shield early, its 87% rdy and i encounter the enthropy missiles ( or w/e ) already.

I'm not entirely sure but I think the Fast Assault ships have disruptor bombs. The Bombers have Multi-bombs and the Escorts have Stasis bombs.

When you get the small aliens shields researched (the one for your ships) you can research the X-COM armor which will make your life a lot easier. It has superb defense and weighs like nothing. Get personal shields on top of that and your unstoppable.

And yes, the brainsucker pods can be de-activated by picking them up right before they crack open. I'm unsure though that right after you've picked them up, you can drop them and they still won't open.

No worries k: now I have downloaded the patch to stop the SVGA graphic card error and now it all works fine but I was wondering if there was a Wordpad or Microsoft word version of the rookies guide because I don't have adobe reader, the game seems quite complex and which combat is better timed based combat or real time based combat ?

It depend, in real time base the game is much more faster and you can also do some fanscy move like jump off a sky bridage to dodage a popper and stuff. Your agents also improve faster in real-time base combat.
