1. Money. basically infinite money in late game if you played it right.
-make a mod that reduces the sellprice of all alienmade "hardware" by at least 2/3
-you have to build alloys
-triple all manufacture requirements
2. Elerium. You will get infinite stock of elerium because you can farm UFO really really easy.
-make plasma beam eat elerium
-do not use plasma rifles/ammunition directly but reproduce them
3. Invincible base defense. if you already installed many defense weapon in your base.
-increase price/time for building
-increase runing costs
-increase space defense is (2x2, need new maps?,reuse hangar?)
4. Psionic. Because it's overpowered.
- LOS option?
- do not use?
- set soldier strength max value to 50
5. Blaster launcher. Because it's overpowered.
-do not use (add requirement: STR_ALIEN_ONLY?)
you can fix it if you want
Of course we can do that. We can do anything to make the game harder for example: "Limited soldier use" or "Dont use anyhing that involving elerium". But most of those are basically handicap and I hate make game harder with using handicap (Except we are doing "Challenge run"
). We are totally okay with those 5 overpowered things. The point is "we are fighting a losing battle on earth" so we only need making alien stronger overtime by raising their stats that make them harder and harder to get mindcontroled. And wear them a deadly weapon (like blaster launcher) more and more overtime. Also the UFO need to be make stronger overtime by increasing their numbers, HP, Speed, and firing range. So we can't keep playing forever and we must attack mars ASAP.
We need more EPIC FIGHTS!
