:evil: :evil: :evil:

Ummm... yeah, great game UFO. :whistle:

I'm actully doing the best I have ever done in my last game. I've never actully completed the game but I am doing well on this game, I just used my 8 man team to take a landed battleship (landed, so all aliens still alive and no holes) and didn't lose anyone! :Brain:

I've never heard of windows+shift+m before so i pressed it a bunch of times and the game seemed pretty stable today... then it crashed, LOL, but i had just saved so i hold no grudge. Is there a list of windows shortcut keys, i keep learning new ones...

That was the combination to restore all windows to their previous size, not meant to do any harm.
If you want a list of the windows shortcut keys, search in the windows help, you'll find a list there.

R Havell you have just insulted the name of Manny Calavera. Would he do that to people? Probably not.

And if all you captured grounded was a small/very small ship then you should be embarassed really, they're extremely easy to take.

Boohoo my sweet, sweet post...

And Omnipotent_Deity, why not get a member's account? That would probably help. I hope that in the end UFO turns out OK for you.

r havell, you are surely aware, that it is not the purpose of threads to nominate
those who get to the "xxxth post". however if you want to play such a "game"
it's ok as long as no spamming and most of all NO FLAMING is involved!!

so please, just be nice, keep on exchanging information about this thread's
topic and mind your language!

[Havell]

OK, sorry about that last one. I managed to resist making a double post to get it eariler.

And it wasn't a small ship, it was a battleship.

is the inner level at cydonia built the same way the normal alienbases are built?

and will i encounter chrysalids??
i found that the easiest way to deal with a chrysalid/snakeman base is, to position your soldiers in the "beam down room" (you know, the one with the green floor), aiming at the red fields and hope your reactionfire works. oh, and now and then you could check if theres someone "downstairs" and throw a nade (or more) down.

that worked pretty well, but your soldiers need good reaction and should be armed with heavy plasmas in order to kill an chrysalid as fast as possible.


btw, i´ve managed it to read the whole thread

[PrejudiceSucks]

Yeah, it's a lot like a real base. That's another reason to take blaster launchers + high explosive - You can 'cheat' through this bit by 'tunneling' through the walls to get to the other side - very handy.

X-Com tip for the day: Prioritise your targets. First take out those with Blaster Launchers, then Stun Launchers and then plasma weapons. I can't help but point out that being unconscious is about as handy as being dead. So don't hesitate to kill those with Small Launchers.

I don't think I've met any chrysalids there, as far as I remember.
