  1. Ah good - it's been changed in the FAQ now. Wonder how many people it caught out!
  2. Thanks UKMars I agree - after all this time on hard going to easy seems alot easier. Hopefully the FAQ will be changed.
  3. Just to follow up - I've changed my game to: KEY "difficulty" INT 2 This makes it much easier in the test mission I did - one of my soldiers got hit and took 10% hp loss instead of 40/50% - I took the recticulan (sp?) down with a grenade and a few laser blasts instead of about 12. This was only a quick test but I feel it adds weight to my request for the FAQ to be changed. If I'm right people who have theirs on medium (1) are setting it to 0 (hard) think it's easy. Unpleasant shock in store Quite pleased to have made in through to this point on hard though (just done Russian mission 27th Feb) without losing a soldier (though I do save alot as my nick suggests!).
  4. Could someone confirm http://www.ufoaftermath.co.uk/?c=FAQ&p=faq#2.5 please. I don't think it's right. I've worked my way through on the default profile without really knowing was difficulty setting I was on and have got through the Russian mission (outside with tactics and inside with saving and loading in a way that wasn't fun or the way the game is supposed to be played) only to find that like alot of people the game is no longer fun - and to the point where I can't see how to do missions. So I thought I'd check my difficulty settings by looking at my UFOOptions.txt with an aim of changing it to easy as I'm considering stopping playing it. Only to find it says: STRUCT "Game" KEY "difficulty" INT 0 KEY "game_length" INT 0 END_OF_STRUCT "Game" Well according to that FAQ link: There you'll see this line: "KEY "difficulty" INT 2". 2 = Hard, 1 = Medium and 0 = Easy. Adjust that as you see fit. That means I'm playing the game on easy. Well I find that hard to accept as it's NOT easy. I understand that this game is hard compared to convential games (which I'm fine with) and I understand that the change after the Russian mission is supposed to be marked and to keep the game challenging - fine. But not this hard. And if I'm playing on easy then god help people on medium and hard should be labelled testing only - please dont play. So - to test this Ive created three other profiles named easy, medium and hard. I've looked at the appropriate UFOOptions.txt files and it's the opposite: Hard = 0 Medium = 1 Easy = 2 Which means I've been playing on hard (which makes perfect sense to me!). I would like this confirmed and FAQ changed if I'm right. If I'm wrong (and I really have been playing it on easy) accept my appologies and I'll let you know when I've developed a suitable patch to make it easier without completly cheating! I'm using patched version of game by the way.
