jayohaitchenn Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Hey, i finally got to the reticulan offer last night, but i hadn't saved for ages so i had to decide once and for all then and there. Obviously i picked NO! but i was just wondering what happens if you click yes, when asked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kret Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Well, the best thing to find out would be to play a 2nd time and then go for yes. Many of us have been through that "what would of happened if I selected the other option?" But eventually found out . Just like to note that Aftershock is based on accepting this offer.

Aralez Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 A-HA! Well, what to do with cowards and traitors in a war? What ?"Make them the boss ??" Who said that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonHawk Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop, but UFO: Aftershock is based on the acceptance of an offer that most people refuse? Or is it just a small community that is refusing? It seems odd to structure a storyline around the lower probability option from the preceding game...

Slaughter Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I suppose that is the sort of continuing story they preferred. That it was the more interesting option to develop. Because they accept there have appeared many strange groups of humans on earth. Cyborgs, Psionics, Cultists and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accounting Troll Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 A Faustian bargain. The Council of Earth signed up because of the promise of power. This storyline gives us the possibility that other aliens, including the Old Greys will want to control the power of the Biomass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must consider tho, that the reason most ppl would refuse the offer is because the game would end and a lot would be left out. If they had designed the game to use the Reticulan offer as the final victory, then everyone would be doing it since it would be the longest path to victory. Additionally, it was probably done intentionally to when they developed the game to leave an opening for a believable continuation of the game as the other ending is too "Americanized" Independance day ending. I wonder if I can find the total conquest ending... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaarna Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 So ALTAR prefers that you act like a wuss during the 1st game! Narf! Well, I said no. I ain't stepping down! Not with all these new goodies I researched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 accepting the reticulan offer is like saying, "Oh good, we'll kill off those stupid old grays and work with you, HAHA! Jokes on them" i personally didn't choose it because i wanted to stop the evil, beceause even if they thought it unneccessary, they still brought the biomass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Kyth Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Look at it this way - eventually the biomass would have engulfed the planet. It's accept the Reticulan offer, or be killed by the biomass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I don't think so, in my current game the total area of the biomass is about the size of australia in two different places, and i'm already shoving it back although, if you didn't get the offer until later, or you were really losing badly, i can see that taking the offer would be more realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Kyth Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 It depends. If you made some bad research choices and the biomass is taking over and you don't have repulsors yet, then you're buggered. Is it at all possible for the 'mass to spread over the sea? If not, it can easily be restricted to either the poles or the larger islands, such as Australia, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accounting Troll Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 The biomass can cross narrow seas, such as the straits between the Americas and Asia and South America and Antartica. It cannot cross wide seas, so your bases in New Zealand, Pearl Harbour, Mauritius, the Azores and Cape Verde are safe from the Biomass as long as they aren't sucessfully targeted by a planter. It certainaly cannot be contained in AUstralia as I have had it start off there and go on to envelop half of Asia. The Reticulan Offer is triggered by your scientists working out what the purpose of the Biomass actually is. Biomass repulsors are a byproduct of this reseach. The other prerequisite for biomass repulsors is to obtain at least one psionic weapon (the Reticulans use lots of them, so you should have hundreds of them in your armoury) and research psi principles.
