So far, so good: loving it;
Gods, it got difficult quick. I tried veteran, and the only missions I seemed to get were terror sites... with rookies and starter weapons, eek!
Started again on 'beginner'
So far, all terror missions occur at night, without exception; should they? In the original, the targetting bug let you delay until dawn, but not OpenXCOM, afaict!
The highlight so far was being hit (well, near misses, but same results!) by 4 disrupter pulse missiles, killing 11 of the 14 strong squad, most still in the sub, (the one that ran got shot subsequently, the lone survivor went beserk and shot his sole other remaining comrade, before eventually regaining control and bailing with the sub. I guess it wasn't a great idea to land a triton right next to the intact medium sub.
Other highlight was the lobsterman that climbed up on the triton roof and kept killing any trooper who came out for a shot; its supposed to be my sniper vantage for the initial deployment
Its July, and I have no surviving aquanauts from January. I know of one base I need to deal with, I am still only with plastic aqua armor, have researched all alien non-melee weapons.
Still alive!
The dots on the geoscope for Alien base / terror site seem small relative to Xcom bases, quite hard to see,
