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.
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.
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
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
