i'll keep trying. i thought i was doing pretty ok but obviously i wasnt lol. i was sending people out on missions as soon as the van came back.

i didnt know i got score from reading the ufopedia entries. thats normally the first thing i do whenever i start up a new game

where are you seeing all these details though? i dont see any of that on my gameover screen

not sure how i could have done better on those missions.. lol no civillians on the maps, just 1 cultist, i rush him and stun him, no deaths.  mission over.

are the events suppose to be triggering this often? its almost non stop, with maybe a day between each one. i dont see how im suppose to deal with the constant -25, -50, -100's from all that when i only get like +4 for the missions im getting

ok, i can do that.  this is like 2 hours before failure.   even during my first month on several game attempts its like a -1300 score.

even just playing it on the easiest setting, i go and do every cult apprehension mission that pops up, every strange creature that pops up, very few missions decay, yet because of the NON STOP CONSTANT random little events, im getting like -1500 score per month, which is failure by march 1st.

what am i doing wrong? im doing things as fast as i can. i dont really see what i could be doing different.  other than the score thing, the game is going great even with the limited research early on
