Not even with a 1.4gHz processor and XCOMUTIL's loader. :/

I agree with Hobbes. Also, I wish mine ran slow enough that I could actually see those animations.

No, I'm not dead... I've just had NOTHING to post at all with for Sectoid-Knows-How-Long. Anyway, seeing a Cave Tileset would be really cool, and you could use bioluminescent fungus or something to be a light source, because otherwise we all know how dark caves are, and how annoying night missions are.

No, let's hear the Hogan's Heroes! C'mon c'mon, I wanna see how you work it in!

Gah... I took Latin for 3 years and I used to be able to translate that... I know that it's Towards the Stars something something. Ad Astra. Could even give you all the grammar if you like.

Cargo, because things love to hide in the closests of the deck part of the ship. It was annoying, I spent about 50-100 turns looking for a BioDrone hiding in a closet.

gah XCOM river city ransom and Chrono Trigger as;dfhasfhasklfjhaklsdfasjklfhasjklhrjklashdf *head explodes*

Every time I see this thread I think it's designated towards me. I visit the World of Warcraft Forums a lot, and my Forum Account there is Elerium-115.

Actually, if I remember my suffixes correctly, -pod means foot. Like, a snail is a Gastropod because it's a stomach (gastro) and has a large sucker for a foot (pod). A sectopod would probably be named as such because secto- (no idea) but it is a bipedal robot, or has 2 feet. So that explains the -pod part. EDIT: I somehow misspelled 'robot.'

Maybe once the Zombie reaches an Unconscious state instead of Death the Chrysallid hatches. Not sure how to rationalize this except that once the host body becomes incapacitated, the larva can then grow and take over... Or something.

The 200% comes from the fact that X-Com units take twice as much damage from Plasma based weapons than say, Terran Projectile weapons like Rifles and Pistols. Your units are supposed to drop like flies, evidently. And in the beginning of the game, they do. To make this equation related... did you know that E=(MC)^2?

Mutons sound like Mutants, which are commonly associated with being more powerful. Cetalid, no idea. Reaper: Something with giant threshing teeth. Threshing and Reaping coming from terminology to gather food [grain]? Chrysallid: Not a clue. Sectopod: Not a clue. Ethereal: So thin they look transparent? Dunno here either.

If you do it well.

Translated... And, NKF is one of X-COM's most valued resources. He has all this knowledge simply by playing the game so much.

Link to Gamespot TopTen Monsters - Chrysallid I just had to go find it for you guys.

that was great, lol makes you realize how fast a Chrysallid really is... freaky.

Look on ebay again, you should be able to find a $5 sale or something... Anyway, the PC version has more bugs, but the advantage of being for PC is that people have coded them out ( www.scotttjones.com ) with some great utilities. That, and you can get mods, too.

I started the mission with 10 Magna Grenades, 5 Blast Packs, and 10 Pulsars. I looted over 15 pulsars off of other corpses. I'm down to one Magna. I took your grenade advice to heart awhile ago... I've learned that they can indeed be amazingly powerful weapons. That soldier that's leftover killed about 7 Tasoths and 2 bio drones with grenades alone.

I can use Alien Pulsar Grenades.

It turns out it was a Biodrone hiding in a closet. No worries, got him, since they have a shocky-melee attack that doesn't seem to do anything noticable... But I'm down to one guy with a single grenade, a full Harpoon rifle, and one with 9 bolts left, for the ENTIRE Cargo Hold... I think I should just dust off?

You're better off than me. I have 1 person to do the entire cargo hold with, vs Tasoths and Bio Drones.

That's too easy.... MC them and use the inventory bug to have them drop everything... then... a Pistol.

Ok... this is funny. I'd get owned on the mission, but I saved before landing, so I get to redo it from random every time I want to. Well, currently, it seems that I'm down to one man... but it's funny. The guy has been taking down Tasoths left and right... he has enough MC strength that he can't get MC'd, but he can get berserk'd or Panic'd. Yuri is running around picking up grenades. Lots of grenades. Sonic Pulsars, magna blast grenades, and Magna Blast Packs. All sorts of grenades! It takes 2 grenades of any kind to kill a Tasoth, so he runs around with two primed grenades in his hands. I'm down to one Tasoth, and I can't find him. Any suggestions?

My Win2k loves all of the games I install on it.

Go to Start | run | "dxdiag" without quotes | Appearence Tab (I think, the second one.) | Disable DirectDraw Acceleration You're good or you could get the X-COM Loader, but I forgot where... sorry
