New Niewiems walkthrough
« on: April 17, 2018, 10:16:50 am »
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 :D ).
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 :P

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.

Private transport is faster than anything else at this stage, but only takes 2 people.

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.

Do you have daggers? I assume undead aren't going to take stunning damage easily, if at all.  I haven't encountered a Vampire Knight, but unless it has an intrinsic weapon, you ought to be able to stab it until it goes down, assuming you have lethal melee weapons.

Edit

Just noticed that you do have a great sword, at least.  can you corner him, stop him from running?

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 :D

If this is supposed to be a recorded game, might I suggest speeding it up and Yakety Sax or something?

Electric damage is a must if you wish to capture advanced zombies, so bring Stun Rods if you have them.

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 :P

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? :D

Like in 1.44.26 of this video:

You ought to have bulkier stuff than regular pistols by the time you're fighting knights, or you'll know pain. Failing that, explosives always work.

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 :D
Right now I am using Shotguns and Magnums mostly
