Dan Forever

hehehe, when I got that megaspawn before, it actually died whilst I was looking for the lone popper (bleeding wound), so I loaded a previous save game only to find that I couldn't keep them both anyway

I find the RT AI stands up to a lot of modern day AI in games. And I feel that the X-Com real time mode does not decrease the amount of micromanaging that you can do effectively we're not talking RT like C&C is, it's RT that goes at half normal speed most of the time, and half of that time is paused

"rap" and then "ed" would be "rapped"

I almost had something like that 11:40:00 - Treaty signed, Megapol, Transtellar 12:20:00 - Corporation Raided, Transtellar, by Megapol

bah! I mange to stun a psi morph AND a megaspawn when capturing a mothership, spend 30 minutes afterwards looking for one last hiding alien (turned out to be a popper) get both live aliens back to base and find out they both won't fit in containment I decided to take the psimorph and managed to capture another megaspawn from a downed escort later on \o/

Yeah also, when they're stunned the body will dissappear if you're not looking at it and reappear if you are (just like live aliens) - all the corpses just stay there.

Woohoo! The aliens made a fatal mistake and sent through a couple of UFO 5s to say Hi! I now have 5 Retaliators and 2 Annihilators muahahahah! The X-Com amarda is come!

Sod's law the only ufo left unresearched is the most crucial one

I do need the ufo to get the explorer researched. I'm just worried the only way to get one would be to send in an amarda of probes and a biotrans to capture one in the alien dimension...

I thought I'd dig up an this old post rather then start a new one. What do I do, If I haven't captured a ufo 5, and they've stopped sending those through?

They've changed their tactics against me now that they did this apocalypse mission, they send in 6/7 ships, 2 assault ships to infiltate the base, 2/3 escort ships to protect them, and 2 bombers to attack my base(s) and prevent me from destroying the assault ships

We had this huge major battle where a mothership, a battleship and two bombers were randomly attacking buildings in the city. I was able to destroy the two large ufos, and subsequently capture them, after a long arduous battle across the city. After that , a LOT of corporations suddenly started liking me. Except transteller, which keeps asking for lots of money to remain neutral but will not let me bribe them otherwise as they feel the aliens are friends.

I played one half mission turn based. I took a while getting my guys to the front door, get them in, then the alien turn, a brainsucker, in one turn, jumps on one of my agents and sucks him dry. Goodbye turnbased mode

I actually find dropping everything you have and then running around is a good way of keeping all your equipment and the guy alive. I think it must be a bug/exploit though, as the guy is still smoking, but he remains fine and all equipment dropped is fine.

When I back to the point with entropy missiles I'll have a look see if you want.
