The X-Com Files / Re: Questions on Promo 3 and relative progress...
« on: September 24, 2020, 05:23:03 pm »
since i just recently got shanked by the syndicate in august 99, i try to share what i found out:
1 - finish one cult, f.e. the dagon temple HQ + fulfill one of [capture, dark, cyberweb]. easiest should be a dagon fiend again, since dagon mounts terror raids and brings along deep ones.
2 - maybe try concussive damage aka grenades, dynamite?
3 - read the info tab on the weapon's page. Magnum is good but fares poorly against armor. Tritanium ammo is a lot better, so get this researched.
4 - sounds decent, but i'm not a pro

Proxy grenades are the thinking mans grenades.

i had the same issue as Corento and took Meridians suggestion to heart, ie overwrote the exe and the corresponding folders.
now the game is throwing at me lots of low-level missions (rat rodeo, distress call etc). the sibirian base mission popped up again even though i have the russian files.
is there something i can do to heal my save?

somewhere on the forum is a script which reduces enemies' tu at mission start by some random percentage. maybe this will solve some of the frustration?

But sometimes the ninja seeker fights to the death instead of crash landing at greater than 50% damage.
okay that's annoying. nobody likes suicide girls.

what's the recommended strat for taking down the ninja seeker ship?
four gauss cannons on a barracuda seem too much....

@vadracas: i tried. i even shipped my gnome and a lokknaar in, in the vain hope the disc might be some kind of "armor" (like the cars/tanks).
@ohartenstein23: thanks for the explanation. Although this makes my whole cyberdisc endevaour a lot less cool. i like the sound of the MAG ammo

@meridian thanks a lot!
i never bothered with gambling so far, because the prizes (bananas, shotgun ammo and first-aid kits) were quite underwhelming
