Chryssalid_Victim Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I'm selecting Chryssalis for the plain and simple reason that it makes virtually all the other transgenants dangerous Virtually every transgenant can be easily worked around, in fact some of them laughably easily, but the Chryssalis always demands that extra bit of care incase something goes completely wrong.....

Slaughter Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I played past the Russian base on hard, and not once was I caught by the Chryssalis. But after playing again at easy, I realize that I've been lucky not to . Still, the morelmen etc. with new weapons are a pain IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Flappers. They are evil, simply evil! Besides, I bet they have some horribly secret power that they can use on your men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accounting Troll Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I voted for Morelmen and Cudgels with later game weapons. Access to alien rocket launchers and plasma weapons makes them far more dangerous than any other transgenant I've encountered. The Reticulan quartermasters also give them advanced alien lasers before issuing them to the Reticulan soldiers. Even early in the game one of them can be dangerous if it has a sniper rifle. In my current game, I picked up a Falcon sniper rifle off a dead Morelman late in the first month of gameplay. Their only saving grace is that I have yet to see one with Sky Armour.

Chryssalid_Victim Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 Point about the weaponry well taken Luckily they never wear any "Kiss my a** you can't kill me in 1 shot" armour.......So I shove HARCORE weapons up 'em :devil: I am a bit worried though about the game's penchant for giving the Morelman/Cugdels Snipers Rifles which are WAAAAY beyond anything you have at the time (i.e. Aforementioned Falcon or Barrett) in the first couple of missions THAT was a rude awakening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Do not underestimate teh Flapper of DOOM!!!1!11 Sorry... my bad. Morelmen are the hardest by far. Cudgels go down fairly quickly, but Morelmen will be hiding around corners laying traps for you in nce crossfires if you're all patched up to the latest version and you happen to stumble into a nice large room in a base mission. Other than that, Balloonfish of all things cause me grief - again on base missions. Being the kind of guy who charges round corners, I have lost my whole squad to one once. One is all it takes.

TopCat Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Early on Balloonfish are a pain in base missions. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen a group of soldiers open a door only to find a Balloonfish on the other side. BOOM! Mid-game I'd rate Deathbellows as most dangerous. Once you get decent ranged weapons they become less of a problem unless you accidentally get too close. Late game it has to be anything armed with rocketlaunchers.

rocksk Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 [Morelmen are the hardest by far. Cudgels ] I will vote for morelmen and cudgels, these doom bring are a great pain when armed will G11 or Berret or Fac or Aug. I almost lost halve my team to a dense group of 5 morelmens due to their super power long range auto fire. When i tried to do the auto fire back, my acc is only 10%. I bet the rifle skill is already super hero by mission 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deejax Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Morelman/Cudgel I remember vividly the first time I encountered a morelman with a sniper rifle. One shot: One dead trooper. :o It was the 250 damage 2 shots/clip rifle. Luckily it was in a city so I could wait for him with my shotgun (yes, plain shotgun, no neostead) and blow him to smithereens. I think it was in the first month. And later the blasted rocket launcher. Especially the tendency to fire of a 'dying shot' is highly annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovechamp Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 First of all, I hate the chinook pilot =) He's been responsible for some dreaded hours of pain. And I hate Plectons in combination with Chyrs... Plecys just spit half across the mop and it's tough when your snipers dont have a clean sight Groover =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chryssalid_Victim Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 Lol....5 days into the poll and the Flapper is the 2nd most dangerous transgenant in the game apparently Although I should imagine Alarez's attempt to give the flapper a gun could result in the flapper overtaking the cugdel/morelman......Watch this space (And Alarez's mods ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthrax_666 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Kind of hate morelmen VERY mutch....Got a soldier with a G63 shooting at a morelman......wasting 6 clips with a accuracy on 80%...the morelmen dosent realy loss health...soldier nearly died...then i got a man with a mp5 come shoot at it and it dies on the first shot.....now that is LoL. Hate those Morelmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTaco Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 I voted for morelmen/cudgel with later weapons, those with snipers KILL you quicker than aliens with microslugs....especially in Rebalance mod where the range is fairly extended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades of Green Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 The combination of one or more Cryssalises (sp?) with one Deathbellows in the same part of the mission. The Cryssies stun you, then you can't dodge the Swarms... I had that on one mission, and had to reload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hmmm, i would say that in the beginning, plectons suckthey take a while to kill(unless you get them up close with a shotgun ) and they do enough damage to suckLater on, stupid Morelmans and cudgels are going around with barrets killing my soldiers in 3 shots while i'm busy figuring out what happenedlater on teh worst are the stunning biomass aliens(forget all teh names of biomass aliens )I once had a mission where 6 stunners were all lined around this hill, ande every time i got free he got restunnedthen the big stupid star things came and killed a soldier, at which point i managed to get a few rockets off and kill a few of the stunners, and then i just killed the star guy thingy. I also hate scuttlebugs because they take forever to kill if you aren't ready and do stupid things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accounting Troll Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I find the best way to deal with plectons in the early stages is to get someone who is a good runner to lob grenades at them while dodging the acid they will spit at him. Of the non-humanoid transgenants, my least favourite has to be the deathbellows. You get your soldiers to run away from the clouds of flies one of them launches at you, and you run straight into another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 i never hve had problems with themthe few times i see them i either shoot them with a few high caliber sniper rifle bullets or i nuke 'em with whatever rockets or explosives i have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blehm 98 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Hmm, i had two bad experiences yesterdayA) Reticulan with BIO armor, yet i haven't seen any Sky armor yet, and i killed the reticulan because it was too close for comfort, so i don't even get to use it B) I found a deathblow, and some chrysallises came up and stunned me, at which point the deathblow started throwing its swarms at me... i lost all but one soldier, so i sort of restarted, because i had forgotten to arm him before we left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
