Guest Guest_Cazbol Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 I suggest you do the following:1. Go to Cydonia2. Kill everything that moves3. Start a new game. (Remember the good old rifles?) :o Cazbol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos the Jackal Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Try GOING to cydonia with rifles (I did, I won ) <------ Striking a blow for Terran weaponry everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Photon Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 really? and did you combine it with PSI or not? If not, i think i'll try that challenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos the Jackal Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Of course without PSI Goes without saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Hmm. Last time it was pistols. Maybe I should only use those standard greandes next time? Wonder if I could destroy the alien motherbrain with a smoke grenade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Presenting, the poorly named "X-Com Solo challenge" [1] : *toot-tooooot!* https://www.geocities.com/nkfarma/xchal/challenge.html You can probably guess what I'd been doing the past two days prior to this post... Me need sleepies! - NKF [1] I really should call it the X-Com Solo Ironman Floater Base Assault with One Pistol And Maybe a Few Explosives Challenge, but that's rather a mouthful.

Crazy Photon Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 oh, now that's a challenge i'll try it if i've time in the weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlord Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 One of my favorite challenges is the Berserker Rampage in TFTD. Wait until you have at least Vibroblades, and send your squad out with only hand to hand weapons, no grenades. Things get interesting when you lose the capability for ranged combat. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocFrance Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 i still think Final Fantasy with four white mages is harder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos the Jackal Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Swimming while weighted down with bricks is harder, but only marginly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocFrance Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Well, not really, because you can still swim downwards with great ease Whereas my challenge isn't easy any way you look at it :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki-tat Chung Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 how about with only a rocket tank? that would be impossible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Using only a rocket tank is hard, but not impossible if you choose your shots well (theoretically). A solo rocket tank should be able to take on most of the smaller UFO's, except the ones that have a unit that stands in one spot inside the ship and doesn't move about. Tanks aren't really known for their ability to move through small doors. You could use the 'move through walls' trick, but then you'd get the tank stuck. Now, using one soldier with a standard rifle against a horde of superhuman cyberdiscs...now that's suicide. Blasted thing won't even dent them. * * * 4 WM's? I found it extraordinarily hard until I got past whatsisname. Some bugger of a wizard pretending to be a king near the place where pointy eared people in green tights prance about the woods like merry pillocks. The enchanted gear you find can be a real boon. Especially the ones with low level BM spells. Probably a solo RM would be more interesting. Must try that some day... Hmm, what am I talking about? Durr... I like swords. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Veteran Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 This topic has gone completely off track :hmmm: come on people!Should he finish the game or not?I'd say no venom. Wait until the 2040s and then complete the game. That way TFTD won't happen until the same time as apocalypse so the aliens will fight each other there!Hmmm... Time to create a new thred methinks...

Bastiaan Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Vet, you rebel, this is the second time you want to delay TFTD, what's wrong with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvenom Posted January 17, 2003 Author Share Posted January 17, 2003 Ladies & gentlemen.... Im sorri Vet i really wanted to start a new game it was just takin too long!!! I went in with lats a guns but no psi and it was hard... i lost 2 units but still managed to wipe the remains of that stinkin brain off my shoes!!! "If ya cant beat them, eat them!?"- How Should I KNOW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Nightshirt Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 You won losing only two units? That's very good for a first run at Cydonia. Mine was about 6 or 7 (Not including 1 Plasma Hovertank and 1 Fusion Hovertank ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvenom Posted January 20, 2003 Author Share Posted January 20, 2003 You know this is probably the sixth time i played it and it has been the only time i ever played the game through to research everything possible... i think... i need to look up a research tree to see if i have researched everything?.... But i still need to try playing the mission without psi... its too easy!... But im scared that i might loose my soliders (oh yeah!)... I forgot to mention i wasn't taking into account my tanks when i said i lost two units... dont really care much about tanks realli... i use them most for scouting so to take them into acount i lost 4 units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
