Brown.terry@ntlworld.com Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I have reached a soldier limit in my real time 1 year (probably 600hrs+) long challenge against the alien menace. Have never noticed this before, anyhow I have to research Lightning and Avenger to complete the game with about 50 soldiers left. I have XCU running so research could take another 12 game months but moreover I were thinking had this limit cropped up 50 soldiers ago (before researching Blaster Bomb and Heavy Plasma) I would have a real challenge to complete the game!!!! Is there any known way to achieve this through the amazing art of modding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Known Bugs Are any of these your problem? Beyond that, we need more info. How many soldiers do you currently have? When do you get the message, and how many soldiers are you recruiting at a time? Any other mods besides XCU? Etc, etc, etc. There's no way to get any more than 250 soldiers. It's a limitation of the game engine. And do you really need 250 soldiers anyway? You can only fit 28 on an Avenger. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 It sounds like he's got 50 soldiers in total, but the game is acting as if he's got 250. This would suggest that dead soldiers are counting towards the overall limit. If that's the case, upload the save game and I should be able to "clean" it out.

Brown.terry@ntlworld.com Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Ah, ok understanding the technicality in English, not that I could look into the cyborg, Thanks for that offer Bomb Bloke, but at this stage in that game it if there are "Dead Soldiers" preventing me recruiting it may make it a little more interesting! It's cool to find this Forum Populated by Xcom Fans, it's a timeless game though. I'll be looking forward to openXCOM release, might just be able to put a time limit on lasering down that Alien Invasion!!!! Oh Yes!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Dead soldier records tend to get recycled when you hire new troops and the new recruits are slotted right into the old ones. That's why new troops tend to get mixed in with old troops on the roster. Didn't think they would remain. Sounds like you're using XComutil for the 'research help' scenario mod. Are there any others? At the moment it's curiosity that's trying to kill my proverbial cat - as I'm curious as to what's causing it. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown.terry@ntlworld.com Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 I have the xcomutil floor plan editor, and map randomiser, psionic remover. I believe I edited weapon stats with clark & wehrs (spelling?) dos shell editor, but that was almost a year ago so not certain. There may be an exageration on the difficultly I face to complete the game as I have 5 Interception bases dotted around the globe with 30 ish rookie soldiers ambling round the corridors of each drying their noses. That most probably would account for a 250 limit in total, though if I try and curl a few blaster bombs out from the back of the skyranger I may find that challenge back yet!!!! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
