The X-Com Files / "Invasion? What invasion?" - March 1999 and not single ufo spotted
« on: March 13, 2023, 02:05:06 pm »
Hi!
First of all - great mod. It's been a long time since I was sucked in like that by game. The setting, music, complexity, diversity, huge amount of possibilities are just wow. Very climatic mod, it's like xfiles (which I am a great fan of) but expanded. I just can't find words to describe it so let's agree on "everything is awesome".
Here comes my question though. Spoilers below so read on own risk.
In my current game it is 1999 March, I am past promotion 3, all cults contained. Currently most missions are related to alien hybrids (convoy interceptions, but just got the red hybrid stunned so should be some progress), occasional syndicate (had a mission with very high building) or zombie (stuck on live infector not caught alive) and cyberweb fortress (researched, no mission yet). The problem - it is 3 months into invasion, 4 bases are primed and ready with interceptors waiting and there are not even single UFO to shot down. Council is all happy, same goes for all countries. I have small/large radars in each base, I think I researched everything related to alien tech I could (except some weapons, autopsy and maybe alien origins or something like this)
To be honest I think I only had 3 ufo's missions during pre invasion time, all were "military shot down UFO" and on my current save there is another mission with hybrid seductress meeting aliens in forest - that is another ship.
Am I missing something or the delay is expected?
Edit:
XCF version 2.8
OpenXcom version official 7.8
