So, I'm playing my first play through of UFO:Defense, currently in the month of August.
I have two Skyranger capable bases with teams, Power suits, Blaster Launchers, Mind Probes and Firestorms... but I wonder if the game is supposed to throw so many damn Ethereals at me!
I have recently shot down 2 large UFO's and one small one in central Africa. I have base in Southern Africa and Iraq/Syria. [it was a good spot]
I'm getting a bit angry that the game is lasting so long and I want them to attack a base.
I seem to only be running into large UFO's with TONS of Ethereals on board, that immediately proceed to mind r*pe my troops as soon as I get into LOS.
Leading me to rely on Heavy Weapon Platforms, solely.
This one crash site had 23! Ethereals.... it was really impossible. Playing on veteran difficulty, and like a challenge and did very well in Xcom 2012 [I didn't lose Firaxis!]
"That's X-Com baby!" So I am expecting a challenge.
The next mission after this one was crashed Terror ship with Ethereals and Sectopods, so the game is mixing it up a bit.
TLDR: I'm just wondering if the game is stuck spamming Ethereals?
