Go do some Starcraft ladder games, only another human player of equal or higher skills can provide the real time tension you are looking for. AI has a much better chance at creating challenges in turn based strategy games IMO.

The relocate button is kinda hard to spot, I remember trying to land my troops in another base before figuring this relocate thing out.

Loved XCOM2012, which also leads me to the discovery of Xenonauts. Very excited for the new expansion, and cant wait for the release of Xenonauts. Nothing wrong for getting both

How about this Every time a crush site is generated, the local government gets to decide whether or not they want the Xenonauts to send an assault force. They might be able to clear the site themselves based on how much damage the UFO has suffered during the crush landing. So in general, they want you to assault those minor damaged ones, and save heavily damaged crush sites for themselves. You can still decide to do the crush sites the local don't want you to do, but tank a relationship penalty depends on the size of the UFO. On the other hand, completing a requested crush site gives you a bonus in relationship, while ignoring it causes penalty. This way, you can have a large amount of total crush sites, and also have control over the amount of missions players do.

Because you wont be buying the game if this is what happens. They haven't progressed farther than plasma weaponry tells us that video game design is limited by human imagination. The truth is no one can tell what kind of weaponry tech will be available a few centuries down the road. (One who wields a sword can only imaging sharper swords, not plasma rifles). The Romans are not thousands of years more advanced than the Barbarians, thus examples of comparison between our own civilization in the same era is not a valid argument. Unfortunately suspension of disbelief is required to appreciate any fiction work (sci fi included), and the more you know, the harder you have to try.

Picture a civilization that is 1000 years ahead of us in terms of technology(might be well over couple million, who knows),and now tell me again how this is a realistic game, in terms of holding the line and turning the tide.

Realism does not exist in a game about taking on an Alian force capable of intergalactic travel in the 60s.

Never played the original xcom, and really enjoyed EU.(Dont hit me) From what I have read, it seems the "classic one" definitely worth a try. Well... the thing is, I found not one, but six games, judging by the Ancient Graphics (Dont hit me here either), I am unsure if I would try some more if the one I picked is not the one you guys refer to, so... any suggestion on which one I should choose to play first?

I can't say that I disagree with you, but harder opponents in that game are more unpredictable, basicly you won't know the outcome of a hard fight until the end while you can finish off easier opponents quickly.

Skip to 0:20. Played this game (Taikou5) long time ago, and really enjoyed the combat system. The air combat in Xenonauts is a large step forward from EU, but since it is a turn based strategy game, a mini turn based air combat similar to <Taikou5> would fit better to the rest of the game in my opinion.

I find Hunker Down to be a better option in the early game. Later on... maybe overwatching with a pistol? no ammo wasted on a miss, better than nothing on a hit, and sometimes you get lucky 2~3 of your guys hit the same target with pistols.

Definetly not stupid, you see, many religious people I know are well educated, perfectly productive members of the society. Actually, I find the ability to turn one's reasoning capacity off for a short period of time when it comes to their belief is well beyond me. You actually misunderstood what I mean by agreeing with the clocks on Earth, by clocks I mean how we define a second on Earth. Remember the speed of light is defined by m/s in the SI units. Same thing here, acceleration is defined by m/s/s in SI unit, and your response to this, alone with infinte energy is you don't care, who cares... Sounds really like philosophy to me, science is based on observation with standards, relativity does not mean I don't care, because everything is relative. It is not zero, it is undefined, I hope you get the difference. Did you get your idea of FTL is possible from Michio Kaku's "Sci Fi science"? Both quotes comes from you, if you forgot. 5 years pass for you, 83.7 years pass for the slowpokes, yet time does not slow down for you? I finally get how you misunderstood time and clock right here. Don't forget, 83.7 years pass for the slowpokes in a place you want to go as well. Let's say you and your craft traveling at the speed of light to a distant star system to meet your new girl friend for a date, do you really not care by the time you get there, millenia has past at her prespective? Tell her you got there instantly from your prespective? Trust me, I really wanted to be serious, but it's kinda getting funny when someone claims to understand relativity inside out fails to get the first paragraph of what the whole theory is based on.

In fact, if your craft is flying away from the sun at 99.99% of c, then the light from the sun will still pass you at c. This is the way that light works. To make sense of this observation , something else has to give, and what gives is time.Time has to run at different rates for different people, depending on how they are moving relative to each other. Also note that the presence of acceleration suggests that your craft is actually "moving“ relative to the earth, and you will indeed experience a slower time relative to the earth. The exact amount is given by dt' = dt/√[1 - (v2/c2)], where v is the relative speed of what's moving compared to that of a stationary observer, dt is the time elapsed by the observer's watch, and dt' is the time that has elapsed by the object that is moving's watch. Furthermore when you picked up the earth as reference for your distance measurement, so you will also have to agree with the clocks running on the earth, this is how you calculate velocity. In short,time is not absolute while the speed of light is constant... it is a limit, even we do have infinite energy, which is a really big ask, so big that by this fact alone makes the FTL impossible for modern science. In the case of relativity, keep in mind that relativity depends on the speed of light as a universal limit. So as soon as FTL is observed, relativity itself breaks down at that instant, its like trying to prove 1 times 2 equals 3 by using the times table which itself is based on 1 times 2 equals 2.

Pharaoh are ordinary people if we put them in a modern society where the majority believes in democracy, their power back then ultimately come from the the hoi polloi. I can assure you that if even the slightest evidence supports religious belief, it would not go unnoticed, and yes a fully interactive 3D hologram is going to be a overkill because of the desperation. Relativity tells us that for an stationary observer out side your craft, the mass of the craft increases as it approach the speed of light, F=ma => a=F/m, thus acceleration appears to be decreasing. For you on your craft, you won't notice increase in mass, and as you approach the speed of light, time slows down on your clock, thus you will be approaching c forever. For both observers, the speed of the craft approaches c but never get there, since science is based on observation and velocity is defined by v=at. And more importantly, a CONSTANT force is required for your craft to keep producing an acceleration, which leads us to infinite energy again, we can't just make this assumption.

It really has nothing to do with intelligence, believing in something without anything going for it whatsoever, takes faith. Masters of atmosphere does not grant you the ability to control weather, simply because the position and distance of the sun from the earth along with the gravitational effect of the moon is what makes us rely on weather forecast. Unfortunately, energy source is really the problem, remember we still rely on fossil fuels. As you accelerate towards the speed of light, the amount of energy required approaches infinity regardless of the rest mass of the object... infinity as we know, causes problems in the physical world.
