The X-Com Files / That was Epic

« on: January 19, 2023, 03:44:08 pm »

 I have been playing 2.5 since it first released and just finished today. I have to say that game was absolutely Epic. I did cheat a bit to get through on Genius level but not too much. I killed over 14000 enemies and captured 2100, encountered 5300 UFOs and shot down something like 4000 of them by games end in a campaign lasting 7 years.
 I am going to download 2.7 now and start a new campaign but on an easier level with a no cheat rule.
 Thank you for this excellent game, its an absolute Blast!!!

The X-Com Files / Lunar Module

« on: July 01, 2020, 03:43:30 pm »

I have launched the Lunar module and its status is deployed. But it is ages since i launched it and I was wondering how long it takes on average to find the Alien base. I am completing lots of missions while I am waiting but basically I am now primed for the final mission .
   Many Thanks

The X-Com Files / Superb Mod!

This Mod is Great. I am one year into a Veteran campaign and am really enjoying it. The amount of work it has taken to create must have been vast.
 Your hard work is greatly appreciated

Help / Adding more Aliens

« on: January 28, 2019, 08:59:44 pm »

 Is their a way to adjust the number of aliens on a particular mission? I am mainly looking at making base defence missions harder by adding more attacking aliens if it is possible.
  Many Thanks

Tools / Editing the chryssalids

« on: August 27, 2018, 06:14:30 pm »

 I am sure I am missing something here but I want to edit the stats for the Chryssalid terrorists. I have found the rulesets for units in final mod but there is no entry for the chryssalid terrorist so there is no template which I can edit. I am assuming that the chryssalid files are built into the main game but I cant find them to edit them.

        Any help appreciated
                     Many Thanks

Open Feedback / Really Enjoying... But

« on: June 04, 2015, 06:09:16 pm »

 Hi guys
 I just registered and have to say I am very glad to have found openxcom. The game is very stable and I havent had any problems playing except for one.
 I remember the difficulty level was bugged on the the original UFO and I was wondering if it had been addressed on openxcom because I am currently playing on superhuman and am at november 2000 and have 8 fully equipped bases and all tech researched and have destroyed all alien bases. The problem is that the aliens never attack me even though I have the aggressive response activated and thus I am not being put under any pressure. Also the aliens dont seem to be building any new bases (I destroyed up to base 7) even though they have lots of ufos flying about.
 Any help appreciated
  Many Thanks
