Neo

I usually only cheat after i completed a game but UFO is hard and i couldnt resist

i only downloaded it b4 cause i needed some elerium fast and to tell you the truth when you start a new game and use the save game editor all the way through it gets pretty boring

cool that sounds like a good idea!!

if you are desperate for elerium though use a save game editor

Heres the link to the UFO boxes: http://www.mobygames.com/game/covers/gameId,521/ Heres the link to the TFTD boxes: http://www.mobygames.com/game/covers/gameId,543/ Heres the link to the Apocalypse boxes: http://www.mobygames.com/game/covers/gameId,349/ If you want the rest just ask

hold on, ill find it and put the link up

and why after about 6 missions do soldiers die after 1 shot, i can understand 1 evry now and then but how cum it happens with about 4 of my men evry mission and then you have to train the new rookies then it happens again, then you have to train the rookies then again and again and again, i cant keep up, even with armour they go down sumtimes on 1 shot (not so fast with power armour and flying suit!!!!!)and how come it dosent happen with the aliens so often.

i no wat u mean about the boxes (there are so many, but u can see them all at mobygames) i have 2, the one with the alien on the front and the budget box where it just says UFO And wat do u think of that transport ship in the introduction sequence?

Yea i cant stand those rifles, but you would expect ur new soldiers to be able to fire the damn things

yea M16s on X-Com!!!!!!!!

The soldiers in x-com are supposed to be the best of the best, if thats so how come when you start the game and fire a shot it goes hopelessly wrong and this goes on for the first few missions (yes they can hit but they miss too often) if you are picked for an extra terrestrial combat unit you would expect them to be able to shoot straight.

On the original box of the game (there are a few but im talking about the one with the spaceship on the front) that looks sooo cool and i wish you could use the transport ship shown in the introduction movie

I voted for "One of the guys" (and i do treat them like that) but the boot camp idea is great, heres the facts: When you get enough money build a base in north africa and call it bootcamp. (the desert is much easier for rookies(no risk of aliens hiding in buildings)so they have open terrain) Then hire about 20 rookies.(to the new base) Equip them the newest weapon u have (and armour) remember these are the rookies of the future (and could be sent to mars if you train them well) Now the most important thing here is dont send them to terror sites or massive ships and anything above a small UFO is too much (for now) When you have sent them on some missions and they have gained experience send them to a terror site (for the final test) if you are almost certain the majority can survive. Any that do survive and have a sufficent rank to be in your army (dont go hard on them and expect them to be 1 rank b4 a commander), transfer them to your main base (or any other that you feel comfotable with)and assign them. And this works well you just need the money to build the base.

Cool, u must have patience cause wen i get a new game i cant wait to play it and you want to wait?!? ITS X-COM!!!!!!PLAY IT U DONT KNOW WHAT UR MISSIN!!!!!!

i was on a terror mission b4 on beginner and it was either a sectoid or floater and it took more then 5 shots to kill it!!!!! (and i was using heavy plasma and laser rifles!!!)
