1 I think you need an entire alien containment facility to keep it's cadaver after you kill it.

2 I can say that the Overspawn is the only reason I used the Griffon Tank.


3 Don't you need to do the autopsy on the Overspawn to unlock something, though?

1 No only 60%

2 Yes tanks are useless against anything but i have 2 in every base so they can take some enemy fire instead the base
I dont use them on the overspawn coz the mutcha can walk of the road or eat your tank.
+ they are too slow to get to an disaster.

3 In my game it didnt unlock anything.

yes i know its bod of me 2 ask but are there any working cheat codes for the version of the game available on abandonia....as i have completed the game several times an would like some codes so that i can mess around in the game. All the codes i have found dont work so i'm at a loss...any help would be appreciated.

Great game by the way realt big fan of x-com series.

I red this thread from the beginning to the end. Lots of good tips and hints, thx for them. May I ask what i need to do to get those disruptor bombs and such... Im almoust completed researching that alien shield thing, and i have researched devastator cannon too... what else i need? And as a hint for the brainsucker problems, if a brainsucker pod is shot towards u, and it lands next to u ( in real time mode) stop the game when it hits ground and pick it up from the ground. the bs pod wont open. I should try the game on higher difficulty lvls, the first 5 or 6 weeks are so easy :roflol: im on 6th i believe. Im glad that i started to research the shield early, its 87% rdy and i encounter the enthropy missiles ( or w/e ) already.

I'm not entirely sure but I think the Fast Assault ships have disruptor bombs. The Bombers have Multi-bombs and the Escorts have Stasis bombs.

When you get the small aliens shields researched (the one for your ships) you can research the X-COM armor which will make your life a lot easier. It has superb defense and weighs like nothing. Get personal shields on top of that and your unstoppable.

And yes, the brainsucker pods can be de-activated by picking them up right before they crack open. I'm unsure though that right after you've picked them up, you can drop them and they still won't open.

No worries k: now I have downloaded the patch to stop the SVGA graphic card error and now it all works fine but I was wondering if there was a Wordpad or Microsoft word version of the rookies guide because I don't have adobe reader, the game seems quite complex and which combat is better timed based combat or real time based combat ?

It depend, in real time base the game is much more faster and you can also do some fanscy move like jump off a sky bridage to dodage a popper and stuff. Your agents also improve faster in real-time base combat.

Everything is better in RT in Apocalypse. They added the turn by turn play only to satisfy the majority of the fans...

You don't want to do that. The corporation that you raid will gain a negative attitude towards you and soon you will have a visit from their lawyers.

Oh, is it ok if I raid Cult of Sirus because they seem to be helping the aliens and it's getting on my nerves and they don't supply anything so I was thinking it would be alright ?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Raiding CoS is absolutely justified. These punks worship aliens as gods and deserve to die. Besides, they will always be hostile to X-Com so a raid or two won't change anything for worse.
