OK, it was on superhuman iron man mode, but anyways: I just had the most f***** up mission ever: February 15 1999, so not even two month gametime played. I just had two bases by this time, one the starting one, the second hasn't even got living quarters, yet... and 11 days to go until then. Base attack by sectoids! 12 men on the base + 1 rocket tank. The tank goes down the very first round without even giving one shot. Four guys MCed and then killed, the rest one after another. By the attackers. I lost everything, so I have a base with one general store, 11 days to go until I can hire men, 10 days until the hangar is ready, no ship, 20 days without any radar, virtually nothing else. This game is down the drain after 45 days of gametime. I'll not continue this shit of a saved game.
But one question bugs me, as it's possibly very important to know for the future. The very last man went down, taking a cyberdisk out. The guy died in the blast. I'm not 100% positive, that this was the last one, of those four f***ers that were there, as far as I could see them. It might have been one last cd or sectoid left. But I thought I'd checked that, as there were 2 cds and one sectoid left, when I had a look into the entire hangar, the last time. I killed 2 cds and one sectoid, but the last one was a little bit poor in the result.
So here's the question: What happens, when literally every unit on the map is dead, when you're on base defense? Who wins? Was I just having a bad run, as there was at least on other unit alive, or is it actually true, that you lose the entire base, even when nothing survives the attack, not even one single enemy unit?
