Those cool missions you saw in the file, they are most probably future DLC content just like we got the three missions of a Triad gang member as a first DLC. But they did promise us 80 different maps. I havn't seen 80 maps, i saw the same maps int the same gameplay. The game is ok but I got ticked off once i learned that they are selling DLC before throwing in a fix.

I'll add my review of XCOM:EU: 40 hours into the game and here it goes: First 12 hours were good, encountered bugs(2 planes in the air = crash, ceiling of ufo always showing which pisses off). In general: PC UI is not great and since they said that different teams worked on the UI to make a specific UI for PC and an other one for Consoles. I now do not believe what they said. Playing abduction missions: No complaints there. Playing downed/landed ufos: No complaints on the small ufos. Once you hit abductor, supply and most probably battleship. The UI is a pisser since you always have the ceiling view. Your units do not follow the orders that you want because the view is bugged. I always played classic/ironman. 40 hours into the game and i still didn't finish it. I can say that the first 15hours were games that i lost and adopted new strategies after each loss. The game i'm in currently, i'm wasting time to basically research everything, get 80 scientists, 80 engineers and research everything at the foundry. I'm doing this for the achievements in Steam. Doing this made me discover that the game is very hard the first three months of game play. After that, it's a walk in the park. Once you cover most of the planet with satellites, you sometimes get 2-3 ufo's a month and maybe an abduction mission. The rest of the time is wasted. So i have lots of money right now. I left 2 countries with no satellite coverage just to keep getting missions but it rarely happens. I discovered the alien base a while ago but i haven't done it and it seems that nothing happens until i do this base.So I started it and i just stopped. I got to a point now where i find it boring since there is no challenge at all. I'm waiting for a patch to have more stability in the game. I haven't really encountered major bugs that others had but i told myself that i'll play it safe and wait. Then i hear that they are releasing a DLC. It's a badass triad member who decides to help Xcom with a special tech. I'm sorry but i can't go on and for me , this has stopped being Xcom. I know, i do not have a gun pointed at my head to buy it but it just doesn't work for me anymore. A Secret org being helped by a triad member has no meaning for me. And i believe that they should have released a patch to make people happy before dropping a DLC onto us. The official forums has lots of people complaining, yet a DLC comes out. There is no logic in there for me. In my mind, please your customers first by fixing whats broken and then you release a DLC. Overall: Game is ok if you can ignore the bugs but at some point, they'll get to you. You are constantly held by your hand. Always told what to do. This is not Xcom that i know. Have a manual to teach new players but for gods sake don't block us from doing whatever we want to do. They say that there is over 80 maps in the game. I have a hard time believing that it has 80 maps since I've been seeing the same maps over and over and the same game play.

Exactly the same! I got the demo from Kickstarter and was sold right away!

OP, i got to know about Xcom EU 6 month ago and found it interesting. Then after the discovery, i never bothered checking again. In the past 6 month, i've found a couple of times news about Xenonauts and never bothered checking it out. I've seen screenshots and all but never tried it.Then i found it on Kickstarter and decided to get the kickstarter demo(version 9.2 or 10.2... i forgot) I fell in love with it right away. It just felt like Xcom. Xcom EU: Lately, I've seen the one hour gameplay and liked what i saw. I've read review sites that got a copy of an Xcom EU build. They are all giving positive feedback and some gameplay footage. There are a lot of Let's play videos on Youtube. In my case, i've pre-ordered both games. Having tried Xeno, I'm happy that i pre-ordered premium. I also pre-ordered Xcom EU from Steam since we might be able to get Civilization 5 for free if the Tier 3 gets to 100%. I like what i see in Xcom EU and know already that the gameplay will be a bit different. Still the game also looks good. Try Xenonauts and watch some Xcom EU footage, Then take a decision. For EU: go on the 2kforums. The guys over there are always up to date whenever new footage/reviews are out regarding the game

In my case, i kind of did step 1 but with anger. I have been trying for two days and the error remained. Then i got mad and unleashed my uber skills I went right away to the Desura folder, shift+del the game, then found the cache and they suffered the same consequence as the game. Reopened Desura and right clicked on Xeno--> Install game and voilà!

I agree with the rest that no civilians have been seen in a FULL GAME. BUT today i launched the QUICK BATTLE on Insane difficulty and i saw Civies on the map. An other thing to note is that the map used in quick battle is never seen in the full game. So i do not know if it's map related or AI related. I only saw one civilian who was hiding in the corner of the map close to my Chinook and a dead army/soldier. I couldn't see more or find more civilians because i was never able to go far and explore the map. After loosing the mission, the report said that there were 3 or 4 dead civilians. hope this helps!

That makes us two now! They announced today that they plan to have heroes in the game Just with this statement, i think the firaxis game derailed. The joy in Xcom was to see your soldiers go up in ranks and become better soldiers. Then one ugly move and all was lost. This was the fun for me in Xcom and not some unlockable hero. Anyways, i wont hijack the thread. Regarding Xeno, i'm pretty sure that we will have an update during that time. Plus, with the way V14.1 looks and feels, Xeno is in good hands!

here to say Hello to everyone! Big fan of XCom, was in the past on xcomufo forums as Mark0. I havn't tried any of the other Xcom type games like UFO AI or Extraterrestrials. I had hopes for UFO TTS but it got closed. I'm really looking forward for Xenonauts because it does have the Xcom feeling! I played the kickstarter demo (V10.2) and got hooked right away. Im really looking forward to this game!

This bug was encountered after encountering an other bug found in the following thread: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/2910-V14-Wounded-soldier-not-healable-or-problem-with-Medkit The soldier had the rocket launcher equipped and i used all of the ammo. I was still able to shoot rockets even if i had 0 ammo. Note that this soldier was considered KIA(follow link above) so this might be the reason.

Hi, I was assaulting the base of Caesans and one of my soldiers was shot and got wounded. So i bring a soldier next to him and bring out the MedKit. The wounded soldier had maybe 3/57 HP left(not sure about the number) Trying to heal, i used all of the available AP(around 40-50) to heal the soldier. The wounded soldier received healing but i noticed the turn after that his health was at 0. This soldier was still standing with 0 HP and i was able to move him. Since he had 0 rocket ammo, i went into his equip screen and it said that he was KIA and that he had -36/57 HP. Since he was considered KIA, i was not able to equip the pistol This bug follows an other bug: This wounded/zombie soldier had 0 rocket ammo left and was considered KIA, I was still able to shoot rockets.
