Nooo! I can´t understand. It seems that there is really a problem with the maps of South Africa in my copy of EU. Thought I solved the problem with that win95 compatibility thing. Does anyone know how to solve this disturbing prob?
I´m taking advance in science and weapon development for the first time. Step by step. And now this again.... :angry:

I love laser weapons, especially laser rifles since I prefer auto shots.
In most cases I even use them partially when I have access to plasma weapons, because I tend to run out of elerium to make ammo for those plasma guns.
I never cared much for heavy lasers though.

Laser rifles are statistically better than heavy lasers.

I believe they have had a geoscape demo out for about a year now. Not sure when the next release will be.

ACK! I'm having a big issue in X-Com.

Can anyone help me?

The first time I played, I did terrible, scored negative monthly ratings every time, and eventually lost the USA to the aliens.

Second time around, complete opposite, 1000+ monthly ratings every month, taking down every sighted UFO and/or defeating their forces at land.

April 1999 comes around...suddenly the USA is buzzing with UFOs. I take down 2 larges and various smalls, but allow two very larges to conduct their business in Canada and USA untouched, big mistake. An infiltration mission succeeds and I lose USA. So I reload my save and redo April, this time I take out both battleships as soon as I can (after they land on the USA), and a large abductor as well. Another large ship manages to slip away before I can get it. This is on the 14th. So I fast forward to the end of the month to see what happens, skipping through completed research notifications and spottings of small craft (no terrorism site comes up, though it does if I don't fast forward). At the end of the month...

USA STILL GOES TO THE ALIENS.

What the hell is up? If I play too poorly I lose them? If I play too well I lose them? This wouldn't be such an issue if my base wasn't /IN/ USA.

...what do I do? =(

Are you sure it's only because of what happened in April? Usually a country/territory is only gradually won over by the aliens, at least that's been my experience. Usually the ratings you got by a particular government started dropping, and after 3 or more months like that, they changed sides.
Mind you, I'm not sure whether this is always the case, but couldn't that be the reason?
Because from your description it looks like you couldn't do much more -except also cleaning up the small landing sites at the end of April.

I tried finishing off the month. Got a rating of 3,000 and still lost USA.

How implausible would it be to sack my base and move over to the radar base in Eurasia?
