  1. well.. as you may think.. I love the music from the first 2 X-com Games... listening to the intro of UFO:EU now.. what I wonder is.. Where and how do I get the Music from TFTD? thanks in advance ^^
  2. just plain Easy.. Where do you place your first base and why? Myself I place mine in the middle of the Atlantic... which often Results in a peacefull first month.. with a -$300,000 at the end.. but after that it all goes up.. started again yesterday.. first mission.. a Terror site.. and all Gauss Rifle... 6 KIA... bleh... bad start..
  3. well.. Dreadnoughts is easier to stun Commanders.. I belive the first time I managed to stun one.. it was by pure luck... he jumped down and found that his back was against the guy with the stunner... when I came to look.. there were 3 comanders there
  4. Looks good to me ^^ dammit I wanna play X-com Again... but can't... To good machine.. and can't be bothered with Dosbox ( ok.. I can play Apocalypse w/o any problems )
  5. the first scary thing that happened me.. nearly made me fill my shorts but anyway.. it was in the summer.. and night ( around midnight) and some bad weather coming in. was on a terror mission... the strange was... no gunfight or anything in the first 5 turns.. or something like that.. my troops randomly placed out ( no skilled tactician yet ) suddenly.. Flash.. BAAAAAAAAAM. now you think someone tossed a grenade... n o..(well yes ) the weather outside had turned from light rain to storm.. the explosion was a lightningbolt hitting a tree 150m from the house... made me save and turn of the computer.. next day.. I saw that half the terror site was blown to smithers... can that much happen under one fricking turn?
  6. long time since anyone posted here... well.. can say.. Incendiary weapons rock when you got the enemy trapped in a room.. or when they're one floor beneath you.. very fun to hear their screams
  7. don't think so.. had one placed ontop of a building once ( gastation ) and how he came there.. don't ask me but as all the aliens.. he did die...
  8. the fastest Shipping lane Mission was about 50 turn ( 25/25 ) was like.. WTF.. how did they die so fast
  9. to specify.. there are 4 ontop one of the spawningpads for the alien.. its not so hard to find =) good luck.. im trying to get a good foot hold in megaprimus atm.. but its hard.. no good scientists
  10. simple.. what is your worst experience in hunting the last alien.. myslef I was hunting a spitter 2 days ago.. hunted for him about 2 hours. entered every room ( slum area. the one that looks like a upside down "U". well. all my troops was covering most of the map.. when I was about to give up he actually fired on me.. from a window.. in the only room I could get to.. ( blown stair and no marsec armor ) well... fired some HE and flame rounds up there and about the time the whole room was aflame.. he died and the game ended... longest battle ever in my lifetime
  11. never acctually had any problem with Megaspawns.. by the time they start to come. I have shields and Toxic B and lots and lots of Ammo... but the main problem is they see you first.. as theyre tall.. but they have problems if you lay down under something.. but a couple of devestators and Toxic guns always sorts the Megaspawn problem
  12. *warning for Foul Lanugage* My first reacton when meeting my first Megaspawn is FOOOOOCK!!! Everyone run like a Bia*tch! Take Cover! *pause* 3 guys lobbing in grenades of all sorts ( if I don't have Vortex mines.. ) the rest liness up outside door/gate and waits for the Alien to jump out and thats about it... but thats nothing compared to psimorphs.. .hate those critters... Androids for the win ( and I never use them... ) (excuse me for use of Foul Language)
  13. I must just say that. it worked.. somehow.. perfectly and all.. no problemos.. so.. why it doesn't work for you.. I don't have a clue... well.. hope you fix it..

    Damaged disk

    this is a tricky one... admins.. would you call it legal to send parts of an installation to someone who got his disc damaged?.. if it would be accepted.. I could send it to you... =) untill answer... wait and hope
  15. well.. as topic says.. what is the highest number of soldiers you've had in your ranks? if my memory serves me right.. i've had about 38 soldiers.. all from rookies to captains.. All Human ( dont like hybrids or Androids. ) tho my computer crashed before I could finish the game with them... the best army ever
  16. I still play Ufo. TFTD and Apocalypse.. tho its been some time since I don't have Win98 left on my computer.. but.. yeah.. maybe sometime.. i will get it to work...
  17. *sounds like Homer Simpsons* mmm... Aliens.... well... the Alien Movies are not my favorites.. but I do enjoy blasting them to peaces... and btw... have you ever thought about that Brainsuckers is like the Facehugger from Alien movies... except that the Favehugger don't take over the soldiers... well.. im off to do some fighting... the grey men... TFTD Calling.. have fun and remember.. Always watch your back....

    CD too slow?!?

    hmmm.. SP2 yes.... don't you tell me that that could be it! well.. seems like im going to reinstal windows.. for the fouth time this year... starting with win98 Edit: Today when I tried to install.. it didn't say that my CD was to slow.. just that the file/buffer thing still wa 40/00.. it says I can fix it by changing the "Files=x" and "Buffer=x" in the config.sys... the problem is.. I cant find this file... wierd huh? Edit2: ok.. now I got the thing to work.. perfectly... so.. This case is closed Have fun whacking Anthropods

    CD too slow?!?

    Ok... Imagine yourself having a 52x CD/DVD Drive... and when I earlier today tried to install this great game.. I get to the requirements.. 450kb/s transferrate.. sure... but NO! according to the installationprogram my CD-Drive is to slow. How come? and the Buffer thing should be 20/20 but I got 40/00.. but anyway.. can install it.. get sound and all Then.. when I try to start it. I come to the intro. then skipping it ( because of lagg and choppy sound ) The game just crashes to Windows.. It All started when I got another 512mb of ram.. could it be it? or should I get Win98 again?
  23. No... Accidently overwrited them :dead:
  24. dropping them on the exit pad results in 0 live aliens.. keeping them in backpack results in 1 live alien.. but no commander.. which sucks a bit tho.. well... probably back to hunt down a new base
