Hellstormer Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 So I know that not all the things are in the game and I know Chris will work on this more. That being said... In my current game I just finished up a Terror Mission set in St Petersburg. I got wtf pwned for one basic reason. There was no cover on the map haha. It was just a huge, flat open grassy plain. I know Chris and crew will add in the random map features and all that but I wanted to bring this up in case anyone else sees a Terror Mission pop up during the "Play Full Demo" option. I'm not sure if it's just incomplete or bugged to appear this way so I put it in GD. What made it really tough is that the aliens could just one shot any of my troops (don't have better armor yet so...) but to kill one of them takes 2 - 4 guys using all their AP. I lost 3 guys just getting out of the Chinook. Basically - it was great! I really enjoyed it. Only 3 guys (and 1 NPC soldier) survived that mission out of 8 soldiers and 1 tank. I lost 33 nation rating points overall. Then I had to laugh more when after the geoscape loaded back up it says something like "The world hails the Xenonaut team as heroes after their defense of St Petersburg!" I was rolling I was laughing so much. I mean like EVERYONE died. Not to mention that for numerous turns all my "rookies" (I had just lost 4 guys - 3 in the hospital and one dead from a prior mission) anyway - the newbies spent the first 5 turns in a state of total panic as seasoned xenonauts and NPCs died all around in waves of fiery plasma. It was gloriously amusing!! It was like in Sathra's LP almost - the whole darn place was leveled and destroyed in the defense of that area and they said Good Job! I seriously.... it's just funny Anyway... continue on good forum goers! Have any of you had crazy things like this happen you? Feel free to share your tales.

Commissar Pancakes Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) lol. I'm just getting mental pictures of your remaining guys just lobbing an infinite amount of grenades out of nowhere at everything they saw, be they a random dog or a large, extraterrestrial monstrosity.

Hellstormer Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Pretty much! I also had no luck finding an intact power core that playthrough. Once I hit waves of heavy fighters in late september it's time to just start over for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yeah this is because I forgot to copy the maps across for terror sites spawned by UFOs other than light scouts. It'll be fixed in the next build. Glad you liked it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellstormer Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 It was just full of funny moments. For example one of my soldiers moved forward which drew reaction fire which missed him but killed a different alien on the OTHER side of me. Or using my tank for cover while succeeding in keeping my sniper alive killed the tank. Just lots of fun times haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
