Hi! thanks for all the advice. I decided to start a new game, and this time things feel much different. There's much less enemies, and they seem less tough too. I did most missions so far in daylight, to avoid the detection problem. I don't know why the game feels so different this time (it's even kind of easy to be honest). Maybe patching to 1.7 and using an old savegame wrecked something, or it could be that in my last game I had several missions in the beginning where I failed and also I was expanding like crazy (I wanted to get more resources) which maybe lead to much stonger opponents. cheers,

Hello all! I sure hope there's still someone here on this board I got the game from a magazine DVD, at first it was good fun, but for some time now I've really had a very hard time, especially fighting the Beastmen. My main soldiers are about lvl 19, I'm mainly using rifles and shotguns, tried some grenades and stuff once, just built me a grenade launcher. The warpcannons I sadly lost when my guy died in a mission (didn't realize it then..). Well anyway the biggest problems for me are A) enemy numbers & damage dealt (I wonder how people can use a mod that gives you even more hostiles...) B) line of sight / spotting range @ B) I'm usually very blind, at night I don't see spiders and rollers unless they are virtually on top of me (I get the question mark alright...). @ A) in my current mission (I have to defend one of my territories) I am facing Beatmen, 5 Chiefs, about 10 Captains and 2 Alchemists. Map is very small, so there is no way to funnel them somewhere. Once I get spotted I get hit from across the map (a thing which drives me nuts) and also I die so quickly I can't really do anything. Also damage I do is not very high. Shotguns do a good job, and while the captains die alright, the Chiefs are a pain in the ass. Two guys are wearing heavy suits, rest is in med suit (I like running). all this on NORMAL difficulty. Needless to say that mission I can't win; but more and more missions become like this. So, I need some serious advice, because I really feel this game is very very imbalanced. cheers, M PS: official forum seems to be down, and I couldn't find any kind of guides for this game (just a small .txt file with a tech tree...)
