WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF XNT: ITD

What is XNT - Into Darkness?

This mod is a compilation of hard work done by multiple users, players and the Xenonauts community. It implements innovative elements and mechanics thus altering the players experience.

What makes it different?

XNT - Into Darkness is designed for players looking for a faster pace of play and more action, it mixes in specific mechanisms and modifications that make for an exciting and diverse environment. The second important difference is decision making: the player has to choose wisely weather he prefers to focus on economy, air supremacy or rushing additional ground combat tools. The idea is to provide the player with more choices from the very beginning, so that the player can take his own unique path towards victory...or destruction. Be aware: XNT raises the difficulty level.

How to start?

First you must understand that there are various forms and parameters that allow you to start the way you want, however there are several alternatives or pattern to start playing:

- Air Supremacy, focus your initial resources to build up a powerful and destructive fleet of aircrafts.

- Economy Factor, prepare multiple factories and sell your mass-produced equipment. (Beware based attacks are frequent).

- Armor Rush, if you want to ensure your supremacy and survival of soldiers in combat, you need to focus on developing heavy armed vehicle platforms (tanks).

- For Science!, designate several research divisions ready to diagnose and take advantage of the new and powerful alien devices. You will always have cutting edge technology in combat. If you can still afford to produce it.

- Imagine your own way, there are thousands of ways to address the issues you will encounter.

New content Guide V6 No.55

XNT bring some changes to the game to improve playability and diversity. This notes had the main objective to help you understand some of the changes and some mandatory tactical notes, this depend on the "Opening" that you choose.

This pack is a preliminary version not completed, specially some changes in Tanks and Aircombat dynamics.

Tactical Note:

- Now Jackal Armor is unlocked only by Alien Alloys.

- Coyote Armor is unlock in two ways, capturing a Harridan alive or dissembling a Corvette UFO.

- Advanced Ballistics are powerfull in comparison to other builds, here you have two possible pathways. Skip advanced ballistics and go for Lasers OR go for Advanced ballistics and skip lasers.

- Flamers and ballistics are different each other, flamer has a unique roles and advantage against some units and heavy covered opponents.

- Try to capture at the start of the game a Caesan and a Sebillian alive.

- Build Black Poison Acid Grenades can help you deal difficult situations, if you dont need grenades sell Gargols bodies for cash.

- In some point you need a lot of research or manufacture, only after 1 month you can establish a solid secondary base. You can focus this secondary base in 3 elements, Interception, Manufacture or Research. Try only to focus your secondary exclusive for 1 or 2 elements, no more. I recommend Interception in any mix.

- The new AI is set to make mistakes, depending on the script the alien can take extreme actions even if you reload the game in the same ground combat.

-

That's been happening on a seemingly random basis in the vanilla game too

Has it been happening in vanilla too? I know there's been an issue with XCE but there's an unofficial version that llunak put out a while ago (buried in a thread somewhere) which seems to have solved the issue. Don't know if this version of XNT is compatible with v0.3 of XCE though.

I had found the Modifikation after I played the Community Edition from Xenonauts 75 %. I like the Mod because there are very good Ideas carried out. I am in the 3rd Month without much Problems. Got 2 Bases full and build up the 3rd in the Moment. The Reaserch Ideas are very impressive, so you don´t know what to reasearch first.

Then you dont know what to upgrade first (Strike Team, Aircraft, Base). I find it interessting that you need much reasearch to get Laser (I dont know how to get it) and the production of Alien Alloys. But that is what a game should be.

The Mod combines Elements of the new XCom and all Xenonauts/X-Com elements are included. What makes me happy is the fact, that all these Elements are enhanced with Ideas of the Modding Team. A very good Game gets a Game what the Gamers want to have.

I dont think so. The Chance and Upgrade of the Original Reaserch Tree (Original Tech Tree is visible if you search it) makes the Game harder, because you have to Search per sample try & error. Thats interessing and makeable in Easy / Normal Mode (if you play the Mod first Time), but on Veteran or higer it is better to know how to search.

I do make it for me and for the Mod to find Bugs in it (Xenopedia etc.). Then I can tell the Team where are Problems in it and they can fix them.

I was joking.. you are right.. i even cant find how to research the wolf armor when i first played this mod..

As researchs i think there should be some clue at description of research.. so even you dont know what is next, at least you have an idea.. i will try to make this at my mod.. i hope u play my mod when its up.. It will be XNT's new generation..

I agree with drages, because if you look for same Games with bigger Tech Trees you will see, that the People how tried it had very big Problems to get it in a normal Picture. Maybee I find a old Tech Tree from an other UFO Game to show the Problematic. Here it is: Ufo Afterlight (and that is the Original Tech Tree):

http://www.strategycore.co.uk/files/ufo-afterlight-graphical-tech-tree/

An other example ist UFO: Extraterestials with UNI-Mod wich is growing slowly but constantly.

http://ufogr.com/de/techtree/

Here you see all the Trees (Originaly and Modded).

All of them are small but you see, if you wanna bring it to one Picture, you have to minimize it so that the others couldn´t see it and if they see how big it is, they will be dettert to play the Game / Mod etc. eventually.

Radek look at them and you see what I mean.
