Had only one mission with a knight.
Yesterday I got to research high explosives and some black ops stuff(cannot buy yet though) so will be a lot more potent
Right now I am using Shotguns and Magnums mostly

I have electric clubs and taser pistols for stunning - he whitstanded 16 shots from pistols and like 30 hits from clubs before I switched to deadly force

Edit

Completly not connected to the mod itself but:
I was watching a bit of Starving Poets LP as I am much farther than him and saw that he checks how many pellets from shotgun hit opponent. Can anyone tell me how he does that?

Like in 1.44.26 of this video:

Is it safe to update game version or would updating require starting new game?

Tried to do that but he is actually just a bit faster than my agents...

EDIT

Got HIIM - took me more than an hour or shooting everything and hitting when I can but he even got stunned

Argh how much armor does vampire knight have?
I am trying to kill it for last half an hour trying stunning, shotguns, pistols of  different variety, even great sword that he dropped when pannicked...
I am running after him and have one or two attack every 3-4 turns when he switches direction - soon I will be out of ammo completly.

First post of the topic has info about disabling/enabling mods
"Do not deactivate any mod, as this could create gaps in the game. Leave it by default, as it is. To a greater or lesser extent, all mods are related to each other. Logically, everyone, is free to do what he prefers."

Hi Solarius
My walkthrough is going really good (at least I think so)
I have small question:
I am still using public vans but for quie some time I have private cars reseached. What is difference between private and public car?  I cannot find any info on that in ufopedia.

Lately I got back to playing as I have a little more time. Started new game on latest version and it is going far better than last time. I even managed to get one small ufo landed and won with loosing only two people (half of the squad ).
I have a question though - how can I get better labs than one in XCOM HQ? Is it in some research? I have done quite a lot of those and did not find any yet

EDIT

Never mind got to Bio Lab yesterday

This walkthrough seems to be going much smoother than last one where I had medium UFOs and those darn spike boars at the beginning

Oh that is great tip - did not know that - thanks!

It was small shotgun and those things were spike boars. I loaded save from mission with them and tried again. I litterally walked to one with all 4 agents and started shooting. It took more than 10 shots and was still standing and most of those were point blank so all 7 pellets hit... It seems they have armor that my weapon is unable to penetrate

Edit

I was able to kill 2 of them in another mission - it took 4 shots from shotgun with 40dmg AP rounds

I do not know their name
There were like 6 of them on map and on my power level there was absolutely nothing that I could do to even single one
Edit
Like I said it ate 2 full shotgun pellets(all bullets) and it was still standing...

Uh already lost two squads - one to landed small UFO(not to self - do not touch UFO unless you have a lot better weapons) - second to some spiky mutant things... those are damn hard - one ate two full pellets of shotgun ammo and was still standing...

Okay I just started playing and first question that comes to my mind is:
- Is it normall to have so many missions at beggining of game? It rained like 4 missions and one flying UFO during first day of game
