I'm looking for experience just as UFO1 regarding the difficulty of game.

Which settings are the same as UFO1? (I do not want to use "Restore Defaults" since I might want to keep customization, and also does this option mean identical to UFO1?).

Especially:

* storage limit for recovered items - original was YES - it was limited and lost, right?
* live alien sale - I think it was allowed ofc, right? so, YES


* Sneaky AI???
* allow psi-capture was OFF?
* allow psi-strength improvement was.... ON?
* override line of fire was OFF?

In addition I think there were one more hurdle in UFO1 which can not be turned on - item limit was 80 right?
and related second hurdle - all items needed to fit visually in the inventory grid on layout or you in some cases couldn't grab them...?
Tho tbh I am not looking forward to adding/using myself these 2 options ;)

Guess will play with override-LOF option and bump difficulty a from lowest to the 3rd.

Base defence mission.

20 floaters,
20 floaters, 20 floaters on the road
20 floaters, and one had a blaster launcher

pass the launcher around, and...
*pfsssss*
*bum!*
*Ourghh* *Ourghh*
*Ourghh* *Ourghh* *Ourghh* *Ourghh* *Ourghh* *Ourghh*
10 floaters, 10 floaters on the road

Truly IQ 500 move by them. But hey, they managed to nick like half HP of my 1 rocket tank  ::)

p.s. surprise base def (never seen the ufo coming...), thanks GOD I changed base to defensive base.

EDIT: the mastermind of this alien strategy woken up! (or stepped out of smoke/of upper level??)
he had BL equipped! (and I have alien picking up weapons disabled)
good that Sander was there to put him back to sleep, forever.

God this is really the base game ever, always something cool and interesting like that.

Open Feedback / Projectiles often going through middle of enemy and missing

E.g. now with laser riffle shooting at floater.

Solider was 1 tile away from floater (soldier was right-bottom from him), had accuracy around 70, fired auto riffle, 3 rounds visually were going exactly through middle of the enemy (on ground level, in first room of abductor afair) but not hitting.

This happened several times, including like 2 times in this game.

Why this happens like that? it looks as if "bounding box had a hole in the middle" so if that is intentional then perhaps visual should be somehow fixed? anyway why original does it (if it does).

this also happened at long range (around 1 screen of range) and still went exactly through him.

Offtopic / Shoot up first (in this ironmode easy game, no mods) Alien Base
« on: September 20, 2021, 04:23:04 am »
Snakeman.

Perhaps simple, but I celebrate each victory like that.
Luckily none of Chryssalid killed anyone. And the blaster launcher was not used either.

Sadly, a Colonel died in a really funny/sad way: I was guarding the east-north window of the command centre, and that area was supposed to be cleaned... but nope, shot through the window.
It's early game and we're in alloys only, so RIP.

Open Feedback / no LOF... but how
« on: September 13, 2021, 11:24:12 pm »
I'm used to UFO being quirky but with F10 debug key I really wonder - how?

violet is the alien.
I would say line of fire is clear as Sun...

Troubleshooting / Difficulty 2 - heavy plasma on first ufo?!
« on: November 03, 2019, 04:31:05 am »
I am playing on the almost-lowest difficulty, not the easiest but the next one.

After around 10-15 days I spoted first UFO in range of my base, shot it down - this is the small one (the 3rd smallest ufo) with sectoids.

One of aliens had heavy plasma - wtf? I thought they will be getting heavy plasma much later on, no?

EDIT: and now, on aroun 25-th day (just after shooting 1 ufo, and chasing but not downing one smallest ufo) I get a... base defence mission!

like WTF ?!?!  :O   :o
