Nightshade

Bill gates isn't allowed to retire?

I just loaded up an old save of TFTD, Once I did a mission and saw how i did it I laughed. Soo cheap, i won a dreadnought attack without being shot at. I had 4 of my psi troops train and train and train. Evetually they got so good they just sat in the ship all mission, I'd send out 1 troop to lok for an alien, spot him, MC him, look for more, use up his TU's hopefully killing some, rinse and repeat till my psi troops had no TU's left. SO then I'd send my best 3 troops out, get them to the top of the map and since they were so good, they'd spot an alien halfway across the map, 4 stories up, snap shot, accuracy 120% Thats right, they never missed, my record was killing an aquatoid over 8 screens. the trick to getting your troopers that good is to develop MC first, send a single scout out, an unarmoured, unequipped rookie is fine, mag ion armour helps so they can fly. MC everyone you see, and walk them into your ship, or as i liked to call it the abbotoir in front of my people, drop their weapons and shoot them point blank.its alkso very convenient if you need to abort, as everything is just there. The soldier that was in front, Klaus Brehme, 400 something kills, 120% accuracy with a sonic cannon snap shot in the air one handed.

Usually about halfway down the screen then it stops.

Well it will move enough for me to go hurrah then it will lock up as usual. Its only worked once, but that was when i set the mouse speed to 14 so it was a bit hard to play.

Well it worked then untill i closed the game.

hhmm Running the v2k program in comp[atability for Win95 made it work somehow :/ Thanks for the help Does not having sounds matter too much *EDIT* :S I thought it was working there, on the main screen it will workj untill i move the mouse to the bottom right hand corner somehow but once it goes down there it wont go back down.

Run where? THe run command in the startbar does nothing, if i open up a dos window it wont let me type it. Each program either does nothing or wont let me type. And the name hasn't been changedk its still xcomapoc.exe

Well since its downloading at 963 kb's a second :') Anyone want to give me the general gist?

Well I believe that report that its Viking 2.

I got the cult of sirius to nuetral with me, start a new game on really easy and at the very start the cult of sirius is actually unfirendly not hostile.

I just saw an overspawn get dropped out of a mothership, It happened before my ships got out. first thing it hit was one of those double level roads and kept walking forewards. It fell on him and killed him instantly. If that wasn't good enough the mothership had attracted a few hovercars by firing on a building, for some reason the hovercar fired at the overspawn, it died before the missile hit so it destroyed the bottom section of a tall section of building. For some reason the mothership decided to go low, real low, low enough for it to be crushed by the falling building. Yay

I remmeber my first battle ship mission on Apoc, I killed everyone in about 12 turns. On my 56th turn I sent a dude into a room only to find 5 skeletoids woth nothing all facing the wall, 5 shots later, 5 dead skeletoids later mission ended.

I think the post had to be modified by a mod.

Yeah u rip off your underwear and strangle them with it. The strict fire discipline part is disclipling yourself not to shoot.

It wears the luggage compartment as a hat.

Who else can see a lone agent in a hoverbike picking up a stunned overspawn and taking it back to base?

Just a question? How can u get a score of minus 286 mil and all those countries increase their funding? it says all those countries have agreed to increase their funding.

:hmmm: I was going 2 say what to do, oh well. Exactly what he said minus the screen shots.

But aren't UFO and TFTD exactly the same? just a different tech tree and units. Oh and its underwater.

No I think ui know the ones you are talking about, the s shaped ones that are connected by that walkway thingy, i spose that collapsed each time and set off the next building. But that still counts as three though.

3 buildings? ooh, I've only ever got to of them, One of them a potential base, U can also destroy a hospital in one shot to the legs.

The short sharp snaps of a sniper rifle snapped his head round just in time to see a blue man sized creature fall just outside of one of the smaller holes in the saucer. "Good shot Trigger" The previous air of complacency had been shattered by the explosion of the hovercar and the death cry of the anthropod. The XCOM team was split into two teams, one to go in and one to cover the outside of the saucer from any aliens that escaped the crash were trying to return to defend the saucer and from the usual crowd of onlookers, it would have not been the first time that had an operation had almost turned to disaster by the actions of a few curious civilians trying to get a better look. The first team went straight in what was left of the doors under the cover of a smoke grenade, according to the motion detector there was only one thing moving in the actual spacecraft. Not being fooled again the XCOM team dropped a stun grenade to the bottom level of the spacecraft, a quick search found that it was unneccassery as the only occupant was a dead spitter. The source of movement turned out to be an anthropod which had had its legs removed in the crash crawling along the floor. Since there was no way it would stay alive long enough to be good for the scientists it proved good target pratice for the 3 rookies in the team. "Area secure, they were all dead" The squad leader radioded in to mouse who was alone in the valkyrie. No-one noticed Pat and John standing by the valkyrie. It was only till Mouse saw the three hyperworms that trigger saw from the air sliding into the cargo hold towards the open cabin door. "aarrghghh" yelled out Mouse into his radio, we got 3 hyperworms in the cabin, HELP" Yelled mouse as he emptied the contents of his lawpistol in their general direction, Since he was panicking only 1 hyperworm stopped its progress now missing its head. Hearing the pilots scream Pat and John rushed into the cargo hold to see the hyperworms only a few metres from the pilot, Pat did the only thing he could, picking up an autorifle that was sitting on a crate, it happened to be filled with incendiary ammunition. The 2 hyperworms were flash cremated in an instant. The entire doorway to the cockpit burst into flames and Mouse who was wearing no armour on his legs was jumping around trying to extinguish the flames that were now licking up his legs. A quick burst from the fire extinguisher put out the flames.

Do what I do, Ignore the terror sites, dont u lose if 12 of them go unanswered? Seriously what r the odds of getting 12 ship attacks in a orw? But if u r going 2 ignore them land a ship there and leave straight away, it counts as a respons. Just a bad one coz u hav a score of minus someting and 3 zeros.

Whats the most damage everyone's done with one shot? (im talking about the cityscape) I've managed top completely destroy 2 slum blocks with one shot fom an lineage plasma cannon. Can anyone beat that?

Since there no general XCOM section I though I'd put this in here coz i believe that apoc has the hardest enemies with not just the aliens but the cult of sirius and other organizations even. Also the aliens would have to be the nasties in this games as well, with all the brainsuckers, poppers and hyperworms. Not to mention the psi morphs. So what game do u think has the hardest enemies? *EDIT* Um wasn't there an option for posting a poll?
