Perhaps this game is so hard for me because it's 2nd hardest difficulty (commander) and I play it like it's ironman mode. If you have a guy low on health they will pick him out and usually manage the strangle. I have yet to lose a guy to a berserker but those freaking 3-4 stun lancers can really kill. Meanwhile the faceless and some other aliens suck in comparison. I'm not entirely sure if codexes are immune but I'm hoping this helps vs avatars which I still can't kill on 2nd hardest difficulty before getting squad wiped.ĭoes anybody else hate facing stun lancers early? Holy crap do they have range with their runs and the damage, disorient, stun or worse incapacitate is the worst.
Apparently it disables special abilities meaning if you face plenty of bio units with special abilities (like psychics) then you can pretty much deny all their abilities and force them to use their guns. I also found out what burning does to you. It tears through cover, a crap ton of armor and does like 7-8 damage in a cone. Did you ever get experimental heavy weapons? The shredder cannon is amazing. The floor bug happened to me once with an andromedon smashing it I think.ītw did you guys know that not only can you blow up a 2nd floor with explosives but also use them on turrets on said floors and have them drop all the way to first floor? I'm pretty sure the fall damage goes through armor too as one I did it to was destroyed instantly.Įxo-suits are fun. taking down a facility with 2 blocks under it reduces the progress by 2) The amount it goes down seems to be based on how many blocks the facility has accrued (i.e. On veteran difficulty by the time I have predator armor and mag weapons, and North America and Brazil, they've filled it up and I'm desperately trying to get across the Atlantic so I can hit more facilities. Its still annoying how fast the damn thing fills up. Yeah, if you hit a facility during the last 21 days count-down you knock the meter down 1 square. If the Advent meter fills up you have about 3 weeks to bring it down again so its not the end of the world. I think I almost lost because I left 2 facilities active (one I couldn't get to for a while) and the other I just had to deal with having enough intel to connect with local rebels and pray another mission didn't come along to distract my main goals (basically what always happens every few days).Īnyway I'm not sure if it's effecting my head at all but I need sleep and I'm still sorta sick. It's a bit crappy that even if you have all the best gear and all the world and take out the research facilities that if you don't do the end-game fast enough you will lose.Ĭurrently in the game I have Mag weapons, some grenades, some of the mid tier armor and that sort of thing. So basically you will lose period if you don't do the last mission. Will say the avatar project seems annoying.
After days of not playing the ability to play now is glorious. Oddly enough it did a first time setup and then just automatically worked like that. I had to delete all local files and then tried to re-install. So i don't even know how I fixed the game on my computer but I did.
