Hmmm...
I saw that my soldier with NO armor survived directly hit from HP to head without losing more than 5 health...I just reacted like WTF???? OMG
There must be really GREAT random damage modifiers that works with damge/armor/accuracy. I have seen how my large rocket from RL hit the interior of small Ufo with sectopoids,exploded and Killed 1(!!!!) from 4 of them.
Btw: This is longest thread,longest non-spam thread,longest game thread, most active thread and most discussed game thread in Abandodia :eeeeeh:
I dont know what it say about Ufo.... :whistle:

It's the best DOS game ever. How's that ?

I also tell my ships to attack aggressively, I guess I"m a bit reckless.

I don't really see the point in being cautious or afraid of a UFO... Battleships can shoot you almost no matter what, and the smaller UFO's are nothing to a pair of plasma cannons / fusion ball launchers... So hell, why not. The meaning of life is to die anyway, so why not do it gloriously .

I send one trooper to an infested area to kill the aliens.

[Spookyfish]

A lone trooper without any backup of any kind :blink:?

[Dreadlord]

Yes, then he goes back into the ship the instant it lands and I go back to base.

[Lizard]

Not THAT hard... :whistle:
I use to do it some times.
It is fun :w00t:

[Dreadlord]

I once armed a trooper with only a pistol and a backpack of grenades and ammo and actually cleared out the crashed UFO.

[Lizard]

I MPed a Muton with blaster launcher and blasted my avanger full of my best troops :w00t:

[Dreadlord]

Oh yes? I sent 6 troopers into a room then shot the wall with a rocket leaving everyone dead, then I sent the other troopers to the corpses, picked up the grenades, & detonated them all.

[PrejudiceSucks]

My favourite thing about this game is the sheer overkill you can do. For example on a Very Small UFO I got bored once and fired 2 blaster bombs into it.

It worked though.

X-Com hint of the day: Keep your soldiers alive and they get more likely to hit the aliens' torsos and heads. No really, do. You don't want a horde of Rookies when you could have a small team of Commandos at all. Nope.

P.S. I'm gonna be away for 4 days - see if you can get to 1050 posts, ok?
