martinistripes Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I keep running out of soldiers after receiving Olga and the others. I'm only playing it on medium-medium. Can I get more human re-enforcements. I keep getting told by the Laputians "Space travel with a human crew is not simple, at the moment we must put our efforts into Earth affairs". It's extremely addictive though, and killing many hours for me. How it only got 74% on Gamerankings I don't know. Perhaps I need to put the robots to better use...

Slaughter Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 You need to be careful with your crew in Afterlight (more so than the previous games in the series and X-COM). This has put some people off, while others appreciate it (getting more attached to your soldiers when they have proper backgrounds and so on). Often people that enjoy iron-man (no save/load play) are especially ticked off by the lack of reinforcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Too true. The VERY heavy RPG nature in Afterlight is especially painful. So if I ever get back to it I'm reloading the game if I loose a soldier. And I'll be cursing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BolaDePel Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 You can try this mod if you want to play the game without reloads: UFO AL Ironmen Mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinistripes Posted December 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Thanks, but I'll persist. I'm a stubborn guy. Has anyone here played Aftershock? Is it just as challenging & addictive when played without the reloads? If so, I'm going to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS has a weird difficulty curve, but -for better or worse - recruits are so easy to come by that losing an individual isn't that horrid. If you think battles tend to = casualties, even for the good guys, and can handle that you'll have to train the new troops, I htink you'll like that aspect. i personally play without reloads - if possible in nay game i play - with the exception of interface errors, etc- and I think it's suited to me. Losing asquaddie becoems a matter of attachment, rather than " now i'm going to lose because i can't get anyone out of cold storage". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
