i had none of the heavy weapons with me... 2 snipers, 1 alien rocket launcher, 1 grenade launcher, 2 plasma guns and a warp medic with grenades. i spread out my squad and started to kill the guys, with the warp medic i stand behind them healing them the whole time (take 2 or more warp medic packs with u)... i loose 1 men then entered the base... im playing on easy mode but its hard enough... i think i was really lucky. loaded only 1 time. bio armour is the only thing i use in base missions. if a men gets psi controlled take out the alien who controll him then he will release again. one prob about not taking heavy weapons with u: u need them at the queen chamber, i think...

i use names from the bible... my jesus is at level 19, moses 17, petrus 14 and maria 12... :angel: nono just kidding... i also use the default names

im now in the mission on the moon. Does anybody now a way to kill these bastards in the queen room? my soldiers get psi controlled in about a second and the beasts in there are really hard. no weapon really works against them... who knows more?

u have to surprise the bastards... try to lead them in a trap. u know where they come from... from the airlock. so try to get all your men in the surrounding. one man has to go in front until he spots the first enemy... run back where the others are waiting and attack the aliens from 2 or more sides... dont care about loosing some of the guys... the base is more important as one single life another way are snipers... if u spot an enemy shoot at him, run back, waiting, shoot enemy, run back... they will follow u... and dont forget about grenades... u cant fire them very far in a base defense mission but often its far enough to pick some aliens out...

i agree with Paganarh... I have no probs with pathfinding.

thx sindre

i think u dont need this save/load orgy anymore... because in difference to Xcom EU & TFTD u never get "newbies" as recruits. they are always they same level than the average of your men... so loosing the best man isnt that worse anymore. you'll get new good soldiers soon... but its true i'm loading too... but only sometimes if malcolm is dying...(he has level 14 now)

i have a problem using the foldable machine gun and other heavy guns of this era... I CAN'T USE THEM!!! like a alien weapon which i havent researched yet...

if a mission appears there's a time indicator. it tells you how urgent the mission is. if the urgency reaches a high status another squad will go there and fight the mission... so there's a good chance to conquer a base without doing anything!

i dont think so... but they look better than some of the female soldiers do u know if there will come more alien recruits? i only have the two i saved...

so we won't here a life sign of you for the next days enjoy it!

takk skal du ha for the welcome note slaughter!! when do you get your version of AM?

slaughter and silk are right eviled! the new system is much better than the old turn based mode... its very fluid and the game pause if theres happening something. of course you can define this function. and the new abilitie "speed" effects your soldiers some kind like the "time units" did in EU and TFTD Try this new system and you'll like it i think... i did!

another fine thing is that you have to research "entering the ufos"! until now i havent been inside! Does anybody?

im playing the game for 2 days now and i conquered North America, finished Area 51 and invaded some alien bases! i never missed entering buildings a second... and you'll never ever have to search for this little last alien hiding in the broom closet next floor... There are lots of ways to play but in fact you won't miss to enter buildings!
