  1. The rest I agree. This not. If you grab too much land, your opponents will grow quickly on experience. That's because they do follow your own level of experience(little cheesy, but so it is). In the same time, equipment & R&D depend on TIME. So the later you face the mean enemies, the better. in other words ; grab good land where good resources are. and not much else in the beginning. Avoid unnecessary battles until you get strong. And make a turnover in your team. Avoid having 1 or 2
  2. Yup. The stunning rifle & the stunning pistol. Downs one enemy in one shot while running. So you can take care of 2 opponents easily. For the rest, hem, it's better to waste them before entering. Cheaty, but it makes things doable.
  3. Yup. Check you killed everyone, especially near the end, there are some bad guys hiding. I don't remember particular difficulties finding the exit - therefore I don't remind the details.
  4. The first time I did it, I did "somewhat" cheat, but not using the console. Only saving and using the game engine weaknesses. What I did was to kill everything possible from OUTSIDE the room, after exploding the doors & several wine barrels. In fact, I could kill 2 of them. 2 were remaining, I could stun one down. The other one, I had to know from a previous save where he was, grenade the location, and rush as a madman. No use of bizarre cheat, but still not a clean way to play. Ah, & the second time I finished the campaign with a level-96 grenadier. 5 hours to finish everything, with a solo merc that snipes a PK every round(or can snipe to death 4 human opponents each turn god makes). But That was not before having finished the game without excess of cheating(the desert mission with PK hordes I couldn't do properly, unfortunately).
  5. I did just use it once. In Switzerland, the factory. In the very beginning of the mission you are outside. My team had "heard" static people on the other side of the big steel door. Then I had a small combat still outside. The static people began to go towards the door... I then guessed those were NOT civilians, & trapped the door with Lydite. This didn't kill them, but they were shocked enough so that I could finish them.
  6. Paradox entertainment sells its own games directly from Sweden. They've been nastily tricked when selling to the USA their latest release (Hearts of Iron II - a game I had the privilege to betatest). As games did stay in customs between 10 & 14 days - which made American customers VERY unhappy, as Euros & Australians could play far before them..... It might be possible to buy from Europe, but don't expect a quick delivery in the USofA. Recent sad events did make local custom personal quite zealous...
  7. ... Bad thing my former colleague who read Russian has changed of job... But it really sounds promising. I just hope they won't push the required specs too far, I have to play S2 with an already low graphics setting.

    hmmmmm, It seemed that the GOLD version was already patched..... But I'll try this evening(I'm at work for still 390 minutes from now). Thanks for the link, anyways. EDIT : it worked!!!!!! But I know why I missed it : the french gold pack patch dates back from the 11th, more than 1 week after I've bought it. No surprise I didn't find any patch Megathanks!

    It does install perfectly. But when launching, it does not find the CD(used for install). Once he told me something about copy protections(as he does for S2 when I don't shut off Internet & other stuff), the other times he simply asks me for the original CD I've tried the "search" function on that board, & tried everything. Only thing I didn't try is copying the CD on the disk & using Daemon tools(but I lack HD space for that, at least for a moment). Ah, & I'm using french version, if it does change anything...

    Me did . Cool game. And cool features(as long as you avoid gamebraking cheats. But enabling the console to save in hard because it's time to go to work is not cheating, in my book). OTOH, I have yet to make my sentinels copy work(I did buy the full package last week, shutting off everything made Copy protection accept Silent Storm, but still not sentinels )
  11. Your sniper is not yet good enough. There is a maximum to the number of APs you can focus before shoot. That maximum is equal to your sniper skill. So, if your sniper has 50 in sniping skill, & 56 APs, the first round, he will use 6 APs to set up the shoot & 50 aiming. The second round, he won't have anything left. If you cheat to have a powerful sniper(see console use in this site), you'll be able to focus during several rounds. Way cool.
  12. El_slapper everywhere, though it does not mean anything either in English, nor in french :twisted:
