Bay 12 Games Forum

Actually, I looked at the save files again, and the game actually did a successful geoscape autosave after the base assault I fought, and I can reload that and it'll work. Loading a save from within the base assault and finishing the fight also works. It only reliably breaks when I load the save I made before the base assault.
I still feel like I should maybe leave a bug report somewhere, but I don't want to make a forum account just for that.

In my experience, fire is pretty useful against most low-to-mid level enemies. It does damage over time, and causes extra morale damage. A lot of high-level enemies are resistant, or have such high bravery that being set on fire isn't going to faze them much, but regular mooks are going to panic and then die.

So those Eurosyndicate missions everyone's complaining about start with the research "*EuroSyndicate Deal*", not with "Contacts: EuroSyndicate", right? They sound awful and I don't want to deal with them.

This is certainly something, but I have no idea what.

The best source of baby nukes are supply ships.

They are, but note that the security will fire the baby nukes at you.

What kind of weapons are good against armored cars? I just killed one, with grenades and bullet spam, but it didn't feel like the optimal approach. Only lost two hands, but I had to savescum quite a bit to get that low.
The loot had better be good.
I bet it won't be.


edit: It's fucking nothing. Maybe the car had something, but it was destroyed by the one grenade that exploded after it was already dead?

Looks like i'll need some big stun artillery for that guy to be captured (as he is only affected by 85% of the daze type of damage).

How about Charm damage instead? I think it ignores armor, making it an attractive option here since the Provost is absolutely plated.

I think I just committed a war crime.

It was an Escape Tower mission, and I had successfully neutralized the thugs outside the tower, and captured the wizard for interrogation. I still had the enemy escape craft to deal with, though. I cracked it open with a hammer, and found something like five people, civilian types like Tough Guys and Savvy Gals. Also two dogs. Nothing too strong, but the humans had submachine guns, and I only had two gals in position at the roof. So, instead of trying to fight fair, I chucked an incendiary through the door and stepped back. Most of them just burned, and my reaction fire got the few that got out.
Got negative points for killing them, but the total score was around +600 thanks to all the assassination tokens. I guess they were technically fair game, due to aiding and abetting a known wizard, but I feel a bit bad about it.
