In the game I started recently I attacked a landed small scout. At the start of the mission I saw that two of my soldiers had spawned on top of trees some distance from the skyranger.

Isnt it possible to move him around using another soldier to stun him, pick him up and revive him somewhere else?

Thanks for your extensive answer! So you could create an army of super soldiers just by making aliens drop their weapons, move them into a closed room and keep panicking mind controlling them? I think the increase in bravery is logical, but strenght? :mad: I meant the difference in the stats of your own soldiers. Is there any difference in the speed with which the stats increase? Sorry about that , I guess i have to be more carefull which questions to ask.

Do you know how much certain actions increase different stats? How much do you increase stats if you shoot or kill an alien, and does it matter what type of alien it is? Do your stats increase if you get shot or mind controlled? Is there any difference between auto-shot, snap shot and aimed shot, and is there difference between difficulty levels?

Now i'm going to take down a muton base with only a pistol. I'm going to need a lot of clips

I've finished your challange NKF Pistol only / no armor / superhuman :devil:

I had another strange thing lately: A chryssalid was attacking one of my soldiers. After a lot of hits I got this message: "Patrick Blake has become unconscious". Then the chryssalid (it must have been a rookie ) finally managed to turn him into a zombie. Does that happen often? I had never seen it before.

You can fire 3 autoshots with 1 TU ?!?

My first attempt went like this: I covered my back with proxy grenades and slowly moved to the command centre killing 10 aliens (mostly with grenades) to get there. When i entered the lower room of the command centre some alien fired a blaster launcher and blew up the whole room, killing my soldier instantly. :dead:

Your challange sounds fun NKF! Im going to begin trying right now... (you have some weird bases in that savegame )

On this site you can see all the statistics: www.ufopaedia.com

Most of the ufos attacked close to my base, so my interceptor was able to shoot down the terror ships and most of the scouts before it ran out of fuel . I didnt have a chance to take down a battleship though. :mad: You mean medium scouts? ( the one manned ship is a small scout )

Whether or not an alien infiltration is succesfull has to be random, because i once had two identical infiltration missions at the same time: One battleship landed on the Nigerian capital, the other on the Egyptian capital. I sent skyrangers to both of them and they arrived almost at the same time. Both missions were succesfull, and i didn't lose any soldiers. At the end of the month I lost Nigeria, but not Egypt.

It really is possible to fire 3 auto-shots. I think it depends on how many TU your soldier has. I checked it in an old savegame. The only units who could do it were those with 57 TU.

What is the largest alien fleet ever to attack you at the same time? The largest i ever had was like this: 4 battleships 2 terror ships 2 supply ships 1 abductor 5/6 scouts (they all attacked in North Amerika) Apparently the aliens were simultaneously infiltrating / retaliating/ building a base / abducting / terrorizing My only firestorm was destroyed after attacking the first battleship and my skyranger was just refuelling from a mission so it arrived too late. At the end of the month i had lost the US and Canada and my base in the US was destroyed because i didnt have any troops in it. (i was used to not being attacked at my bases , so why station any troops in a secondary base?)
