LTNS Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Some of these answers seem stupid, but lets all be honest. Has there ever been a time where you would just like to load an alian grenade up a civilians butt? or shoot a rookie who fell under mind control? Not to mention when you slave over everycountry in the world keeping them save at your expence but they still cut their funding? you bet there has been!

kai Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 I'd vote for myself if I could, because I somtimes manage X-COM like David Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 I find it hard to believe that noone's voted for Chryssalids but then neither did I They're my alien vote but overall I'd say it's the funding nations that tick me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Demi-Godly One Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Civillians really tick me off, it's like they deliberatly run into the line of fire. :hmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terawatt_99 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 etherials, hands-down, they're the only alien that i'm remotely scared to go up against... i'll happily go against a battleship full of mutons, but damned if you're gonna get me to go in against a large scout full of etherials...

JellyfishGreen Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Naw, it's my ass-kicking Cydonia squad. When you luck onto a soldier with 90+ psi-strength and skill, even Ethereals will fear his name. Not to mention his psi-strengthened, BB-toting backup.

Fox Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Ethereals. I also hate Sectopods, but since they come with the Ethereals I voted for the caped losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonestar Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Definetly etherals. Any alien who can take one my bases in 4 turns deserves to be hated and feared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Nightshirt Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Civvies! They run round in circle, get you lots of points lost if you or the aliens kill them, and look like... Etherals don't scare me! It's nice getting mind controlled. You feel all airy-fairy and relaxed apparantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosstoid Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Damn those funders! Damn you funders! How can anyone be stupid enough to sign treaties with creatures that mutilate their cattle, citizens, steal, murder etc, even after the peace treaty has been signed.

Rosstoid Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Thats great of you two. You can increase the ever-low Chrysallid population by allowing them to let you "host" some Chrysallid offspring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PvT Emil Thorsell Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 civvies, no doubt, once i had 5 civvies running around in a circle for over 10 turns, at the 11 turn, a alien threw a nade in the middle of the screaming and panicking civilians. boom! i got a minus score on that mission.Thats why i say civvies.

Ice2056 Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Ethereals, I've had entire squads wiped out by these buggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevan Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Ethereals are the worst because of their PSI abilities, so i switch PSI off, i hate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Nightshirt Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, mind controlling civies makes them evil! EVIL I TELL YOU! So instead of running away from the aliens, they run after you! FWWWAAARRGGGHH!!! EAT RABIES INFECTED NAILS X-COM!!!! YARARRRGGHH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevan Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 at least when that happens you dont get a negative point score for killing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApOcaLyPSe_1985 Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 I hate 2 creatures actually: Ethereals and civilians.Those damn ethereals mind control you, even when they cannot see you. All my soldiers panic or get killed. I always hate those missions. Secondly, civilians.Why? Because they always get in my way. They are cannonfodder for my rookies.

pocthesaint Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Ok heres my spill... Ethereals can mind control you at any time... You can be sitting in your skyranger... You dont see them and they definately cant see you but what happens...mindcontrolled...everytime... agrh... And it even harder to film them!!!ha ha... nevermind... :hmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksk Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 I find it hard to believe that noone's voted for Chryssalids but then neither did I They're my alien vote but overall I'd say it's the funding nations that tick me off Ethereals and civilians and funders, we cannot ready do anything to stop their action.Chryssalids! we fear them but we can also deal with them fair straigth forward. SHOOT them with big guns :angel: Eten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10of40 Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 I have to say I hate the mutons. Personally. I've seen them take 3 heavy plasma rounds and not drop. If it were a choice between Ethreals and mutons, I'd take the Ethreals any day of the week, provided I know my own PSI stats. Why? Ethreals drop in 1/2 hvy plasma shots, and carry their OWN heavys. Screening new soldiers is expensive, but so necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haijo Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Ethereals. Damn Mindcontrols. CHRYSALIDS ARE EASY! I always arm ALL my men with Heavy Plasma(just let your engineers build 100 ammo, shouldn't take long with 50), and I can always kill them with one salvo!

Boomer Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Has been and always will be Chryssalids for me. Memories of my first mission vs them when I went in confidently with my Laser pistol toting dogooders in Personal Armour, and got summarily wiped off the face of the map, losing 2 guys to Sankeman fire and a full 6 + Tank to our grinning demon of doom :hmmm: Ethereals also gave me a munching first up but having encountered them and managing to stun one I proceeded to avoid them for a small while and get rid of anyone who had pants Psi Skill. After that it's only the lovely Sectopod to worry about OK maybe Ethereals aren't my favourite either......... Ah for those days of the floppy version when we didn't know what was coming next....... *sniff*.....good days. Boomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
