I just got the juiciest council reward- it was something like $400 for 3 laser pistols. Playing on classic & this has boosted my sat coverage at such a key time. I feel a bit too lucky as this will make next month easy due to all the extra funding

I've never had to go up the opposite end ramp on that mission. Sounds like a bug

How long can I leave a downed UFO before assaulting it? I'd like to wait 7 days until my Officer School is finished

I just beat the bomb disposal trainyard map with 0 deaths on classic difficulty. Feeling pretty smug right now, considering the first time I did that map on normal (also a bomb disposal) I squad wiped. I still cant believe that literally 6 thinmints air drop in once the bomb is disabled.Ravenfood posted:a laser sniper won't take down a Muton on a crit dud root fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Mar 14, 2013 |

Dr Christmas posted:One weird thing is that every game I can remember starting since my first completed game, there has been a steam vent in a space by the free satellite uplink, disrupting any plans for a neat 2x2 satellite block. Pretty sure you can build anything over the steam vents. If there is one in your starting satellite space I would definitely build an uplink in place of power

That square might be on fire, even though I cant see an animation for it. Maybe wait out a few turns and see if it goes away

There needs to be an onslaught mode where you setup a defending position against unlimited waves. Rewards for holding out long enough, before you basically have to make a run for it. Might spice up the late game

Beagle has a boatload more experience than me on Impossible, but sometimes I feel he's overly cautious. Often he wont take 50 or 65% shots because a miss would mean the solider is vulnerable, but hard cover is hard cover. Take the shot, and use overwatch just a bit more instead of hunker down. Anyway he's drat enjoyable to watch, and explains his actions thoroughly.

Honestly dont ever attempt Ironman. Just use the honor system with a single save, you are an adult. Reload on an obnoxious teleport or when everything activates at once.

Doctor Reynolds posted:My heavy just missed with his rocket (forgot that was possible) and killed four of my squad. You're loving fired, dude. Its funny how the odds seem great/terrible depending on how you look at them. ie 90% to hit is great, but 10% to miss is terrible.

I love the Toolboks tweak "Revealed aliens only move after xcom turn". Turns XCOM into XCOM:SWAT. You can breach through doors and take down an entire group of tangos. It does become a bit too easy sometimes though

1. Improved pistols carry over to laser pistols, so they are very viable for your sniper to move and shoot or when you run out of ammo & must take a shot. 2. Unfortunately thats just what you have to do, continually swap stuff around. We're all collectively wishing for equipment profiles

One of fast food joints, or dvd stores has that funk music playing on their intercom, so if you aim at an alien and get zoomed in enough, the volume will crank. You can hear it softly if you move your view close enough

Anyone with Slingshot care to try something for me? I'm stuck in the train mission where the game gets stuck forever during the enemy turn. Here is the save game https://www.dropbox.com/s/qdjsz2kuwnvm9pg/save84 which goes here C:\Users\*your username*\Documents\my games\xcom - enemy unknown\xcomgame\savedata If someone could try sprinting everyone forward, revealing the 3 thin men, and then seeing if control is returned to the player after the enemy turn.

Once your snipers get a plasma pistol they can run and shoot a decent amount of damage, assuming you've also got the foundry pistol upgrades.

Do the enemies need to teleport patrol at all? Just spawn them at a few of a dozen possible locations. At least pin them down if your guys do the 'sshh! what was that?' because I just spend about 5 turns setting up the best kick-down-three-doors ambush, only to have them teleport behind me into previously uncovered map space.
