For almost doing nothing
Weird.


@Solarius:
I fear, that my people get murdered, when trying to get close enough to axe-range.

Edit:
Ok, I tried it with axes. My people get killed, as soon, as they close by to the enemy.

[LouisdeFuines]

Excuse me for double-posting, didn`t want to mix here anything:

Try to axe this energy-armour wearing guy there. It is not possible.

What can I do else against this energy armour?

Can I still win the game?

And? What is this supposed to prove? 

Do you think I never lost a gal, or what?

[LouisdeFuines]

It proves, that you can`t axe a whole base.  (nor a spaceship)

Chop-chop from the back and the job is done on the first try:

Is there currently any other possibility then just meleeing?

I won`t progress any much further, if I can`t raid the aircrafts.

[doctor medic]

Actualy to be honest you dont really need to shoot down aircraft to actualy win the game,technicaly you only need to research all areas on the world like technocracy and fuso which can be learned through interogations and data disks or even solar cooriers.And you need to interogate the highest rank officer from each major faction such as provosts and church cardinals which appear usualy in base defenses and base raids and then have an aircraft that can go to space and armor for space missions to go to cydonia.

While technicaly only the last is true you can take your time with the air game as long as you know how to find bases by depending on the charts and expeditions or zepeling if you have them.You biggest concern should be missions and after researching mutant alliance pogroms which usualy grant the most points as well as gaining points from research

[LouisdeFuines]

Ok, now the spaceships come with cyberdiscs (as if energy suits won`t be enough).
I`m totally outgunned and outarmoured.

Will I ever obtain the same level as my enemy?

Yes, eventually you will get better stuff than your enemy... but it takes a long time... MUCH longer than in vanilla.

Well the enemy UFO's are all random, you could have run into that ship (or worse) on day 1.  Don't expect the vanilla Xcom experience of the threat gradually ramping up, the threat is already at or near max when the game starts.  With enough research under your belt you'll be mowing through all but the most difficult enemies like a hot knife through butter.  The Mercenary and Star God factions will remain a problem for the whole game though.

Hideous pic

Some advice: Can you try to avoid using that horrible filter? IT is annoying to see and nevermind play with it.

[LouisdeFuines]

@HumanTraitor:

I like that filter for it takes the pixelisation from the game. Game looks for me more modern that way.

1. One funny thing:
What are those ghost symbols above the unconscious soldiers?

2. How comes, I have only to ammus for my laserguns, but they seem to be full again in the next mission.
Does the game fill the ammu again, if it isn`t used too much?

[doctor medic]

The ghost icon indicates that the victim is taking damage from overstun damage,basicaly if the stun damage is twice the health of target (maybe) they will start to take damage from too much stun each turn.

Clips and even some usables get recycled depending on how much ammo of the clip was used

Also change geoscape and battlescape values to 1.5x original so you can see more of the map

[LouisdeFuines]

@Doctor: Muchas gracias for the answer, I had something like this in my mind @ammu.

One question about weapon using:
I got Gauss weapons and their research but can`t use that weapons (simply can`t equip).
Can I see somewhere, what is necessary to use a weapon?


And one question about accuracy:
Got the axe: According to bootypaedia it should hit with 90 %, but as seen in the pic its far below that. Why?

Can I see somewhere, what is necessary to use a weapon?

The Unlocking Gauss Weapons technology which comes around the middle of the tech tree. So a fair bit farther down than you are.

Got the axe: According to bootypaedia it should hit with 90 %, but as seen in the pic its far below that. Why?

It scales with your melee skill. If that's too low, your accuracy will suffer.
