AlienHunter

I've had this happen on a few occasions too. When you first see the deployment screen the game does a "Autosave" for you. Usually when I reload the game it'll work.

For the small bases I would bring six soldiers + hunter. For medium and large bases I held off until I was able build the Shrike. Then I brought ten soldiers + hunter.

I'd recommend it on any base mission.

Excellent mod SoloA. It's nice to have a few choices.

This is why I don't even bother trying to clear out medium or large bases. Too many soldiers get killed in there. The small bases aren't too bad because once you've dealt with the first room, where the bulk of the aliens seem to be, it goes fine. My method of choice has become using a hunter with the laser like you mentioned. Then using the soldiers to mop up.

No, you're not losing it yet. Personally I'm glad there isn't more than one reactor... the large bases always have between 30-40 aliens in them. Well armed I might add.

Before they redesigned them they, or at least the small base, did have two reactors.

From what I've encountered all three size bases have only had one reactor in them.

Battleships do have one Preator on board, which I also prefer to deal with instead of large bases. As far as the large bases are concerned I just head for the reactor, then leave. Otherwise my cautious approach would turn it into a 2-hour + mission.

I had this same issue today. A possible/temporary work-around that finally worked for me was I unassigned everyone from the Charlie, then decommission it. Then bought a new one. May not work for everyone. Several times the game would CTD when I would try to unassign soldiers.

+1 for this bug as well. It was on a desert map on the upper level of a building. As soon as my sniper took a shoot the game CTD. Reloaded the game and it did it a second time. Third time I did not use the upper level sniper position and everything worked fine.

I just wanted to confirm that I had a Terror Mission hang too after turn 1, except mine had Androns and Light Drones. After I used CTRL+ALT+DEL to shut the game down it did work okay upon a re-load.

Thanks for answering that gentlemen. My main reason for asking was to find out if you could actually finish the game. Apparently close, but not yet.

Has anyone managed to research & build the Valkrie? Or it required to get to the Final mission?
