It was so sad when Dariusz got killed.. he kicked so much ass and almost cleared the supply ship

Training soldiers is not possible is vanialla game (the mods have training facilites where people can be put in train like the MI training but physical). People get better in accuracy by hitting targets (still not a guaranteed grow just better chance to get +1/2/3). So what you can do is you mind control aliens to drop their weapons and in the next turn (while they are controlled by you they don't count for accuracy) you shoot them with basic pistols (so they won't die from 1 hit) while they wander around harmlessly (these targets are good for reaction training too). Chryssalids can melee so you have to kill them. TUs are added for units that did things in action (except throwing) so bring a laser pistol and start shooting randomly with people who won't move that turn.

Sectoid bases are probably the hardest base type at this point in the game, because of the psi attacks. A sectoid base will have at least one psi capable alien, perhaps more. And yes, that was a blaster bomb, you can tell from the large and highly destructive blast radius, and the distinctive pssssh sound their propulsion system makes every time it turns a corner. You had a bit of a setback this episode but at least your stores are full of goodies and there's still plenty of time to train up soldiers for the final push

I can see the algorithm's pushing this one, it's got more views and impressions in its first day than the video uploaded a week before.

A mechanical tip. Refueling happens every half hour. Rearming happens every whole hour. So it is enough to check their progress in those intervals. There is an advanced option to be able to send out crafts not fully refuelled. They wont fall down this way they will simply return to base when their fuel is low.

This was a really unlucky defense. From all the aliens you got the sectoids that can use psy.

Wow that Supply ship was intense. A few QoL tips (I won't say how to play just what is what): For the manufacturing: Right click on the arrows always puts the maximum/minimum number possible. So you don't have to hold down the left button. (same for research and sell/buy too) if you right click on the Increase production amount arrow it will set it to infinite. It is good when you don't want to create anything just getting money from the manufactured and sold items. If you face a door and right click in that direction the soldier will open the door without entering (still costs a few TU but not triggers reaction fire). There is a walk confirmation thing in the Options menu. Under Battlesacpe button you can turn on the "path preview arrows". With this the first click only shows the path the soldiers take and only start walking when you click on the tile again. Also this shows how far you can go to still be able to shoot (green path). Reaction shots depend on 3 things: reaction attribute, remaining time unit and cost of shooting a snapshot with a weapon (reaction is only snapshot). The less TU you have the more chance the enemy will have to shoot you as a reaction. If they have a pistol (which needs less TU to shoot than a cannon or rifle) they have even more chance they will shoot you. This works for you too. If you want to do reaction shots use pistol and try to have as much TU left as much you can. Try to remember the place of the aliens on the supply ship. They will always be there on the same place when you do the missions again. Stunned units wake up after a time. At their red health bar you can see a white line growing if they have some stun (eg staning in smoke). If the white line reaches the current health they become unconscious. Stun rod and stun launchers just give a big white line so an enemy with lot of health may take more than one stun. Every turn this white line decreases. If it becomes less than the health, they wake up.

You have so much patience with the UI. 👏 Bravo for dealing with time units and reserved shots.

You don't have to go immediately to the downed ship. They will be there for days. You can wait until it is daytime. They are only temporary under the control. For 1 turn. Ofc the can retake them again in the next turn. This is why sectoid (and later some other enemy) battleships and terror missions are hard. You need strong psy people. (or a shitty decoy one without weapons)

Ah another lets play of the best game of all times! Go on! Intro is so awesome but so fake. Mutons eat those bullets for breakfeast.

just started playing like you =), absolutely recommend you playing with final mod modpack, maps are so much better and >SHOTGUNS< it only adds to the game

I always love to see ufo lets plays, that game has something special, i played it on the amiga for the first time and was addicted, even if i was terrible at it

I'm still working on this demo for my library. I plan to upload another video of it once it's more complete (Both the library and the demo).

How much caridges was on 621, it looked like a lot

Very Relaxing, noice!
