The X-Com Files / No spypistols on surfing missions
« on: October 26, 2022, 05:35:46 am »
I noticed that you can't use Blackops Spypistols on surfing missions anymore. Is this intentional?

The X-Com Files / Chinese first name "U"
« on: October 17, 2022, 01:27:19 am »
Is this a real first name, or a typo?

How do I get them? Do they just randomly spawn on Warriors/Assassins?

The X-Com Files / Best way to manually find a cult manor?
« on: August 11, 2022, 04:57:31 am »
I've got a cult manor close to one of my bases, and it frequently launches helicopters whenever something comes or goes from my base. So far a Hummvee with an HMG has been able to easily handle them, but I can't manage to spot the actual manor. Suggestions?

The X-Com Files / Red Dawn accuracy
« on: August 10, 2022, 05:52:22 pm »
It seems a little over the top, my guys are on the complete opposite side of the map in pitch darkness shooting with sniper rifles, and the Red Dawn guys apparently have no trouble counter sniping them with AKs. That'd be a very unlikely shot with rifles like that for my +100 accuracy guys even if they could see the target.

The X-Com Files / Lunar surface in Louisiana
« on: August 01, 2022, 02:20:27 am »
I just got a Cult of Dagon safehouse mission in Louisiana, and when I got there the map looks like the surface of the moon. I'm guessing this isn't intentional.

The X-Com Files / Sending agents into battle nude

Does anyone else miss being able to do it? I thought it was funny that it was possible

The X-Com Files / Random events

Is there a way to view a list of all possible random events?

The X-Com Files / Gold statue in the Black Lotus HQ
« on: June 23, 2022, 04:59:23 pm »
Is there a way to break it open to retrieve the artifact? I've tried dynamite and HE, but it seems indestructible. Is there no way to retrieve it without completely clearing the base of ninjas?

The X-Com Files / Wierd names in the new version
« on: May 17, 2022, 05:24:17 am »
I just installed the newest version, and for some reason I've been getting names that don't show up in the Agent Names list for their nationality, and some that have non-letter characters in them. For instance, one of my starting characters is a Mexican guy named "Faysal Abdullah?" (his name has the question mark in it)

The X-Com Files / Nude agents
« on: April 19, 2022, 05:42:35 am »
We can't send agents into battle naked anymore! What gives? It used to be that if you went into a vehicle, clicked armor and then right-clicked on an agent, it would set their armor to None and they'd be naked. How am I supposed to haze new agents now?

The X-Com Files / Cattle mutilation maps
« on: April 16, 2022, 02:18:40 am »
Is it intentional for them to not always be farms anymore? It seems like a lot of the time they are either random wilderness maps or even towns.

The X-Com Files / Armor Vest camo patterns
« on: March 25, 2022, 12:28:40 pm »
It's pretty minor, but IMO it'd be cool if Armor Vests could have different color schemes the way Jumpsuits do.

The X-Com Files / [Lore] Where do Xcom agents get recruited from, exactly?
« on: August 15, 2021, 08:00:48 pm »
This may be kind of an odd question, but I was wondering.
It seems like when you're starting out, Xcom is some kind of quasi-law enforcement agency, and then over time it morphs into a paramilitary organization that can operate anywhere and build bases anywhere from Washington DC to North Korea, but most of your recruits seem to be pretty terrible as far as basic combat skills, and they are just as likely to come from central Africa as from major powers. Is there any kind of in-universe explanation for that?

The X-Com Files / Ghost missions
« on: August 11, 2021, 03:21:38 am »
Have more ghost missions been added? Will I get another opportunity to capture live specimens of the ghost types from the Asylum mission?
