We really need larger UFOs to raid.

Give me a new page to post update. The one after that will contain something appropriate.

But aren't you doing it too early, then? I mean, in such case, it would be logical so synchronize marriage with the VI release (which isn't too far, anyway), so you could have a nice and heroic honeymoon where you could've taken revenge on her...
Nevertheless, gratz on this.

Your Holiness must be aware that VI will be a streamlined consoletard popamole fagfest! I mean... oly one special resource type?

UPDATE 23

8m7tP.jpg


Team Potato prepares to assault the UFO that landed near our base.

YMp77.jpg


The Floater facing Gondolin's tank opened fire at it!

IU4zC.jpg


Jaedar swiftly retaliated.

DpY2S.jpg


And eklektyk sent the other one packing.

0yBEp.jpg


JoKa spotted another hostile.

iTJIo.jpg


Spider relayed this primed high explosive pack to Hellraiser.

jyHn8.jpg


:troll:

Zk6Zq.jpg


The Floater didn't even leave a corpse!

U7d4s.jpg


Gondolin discovers the UFO.

VD5mi.jpg


RK47 storms it...

ZmSLc.jpg


One of the Floaters shoots him before he can retreat. RIP RK47 :salute:

0t5Au.jpg


But he did manage to place a high explosive satchel inside the alien craft! Sweet revenge!

uUuNo.jpg


The UFO engages Drog aggressively!

BHpZp.jpg


But he manages to bring it down.

islEo.jpg


Major Bee's sister, NewBee, joins EuroCOM.

QOGMt.jpg


Since Team Kwa's Skyranger is yet to be refueled, Team Potato strikes again!

SGPcv.jpg


Gondolin discovers the enemy of the day: Floaters.

T3vS0.jpg


And here's one more.

h9b5y.jpg


Jaedar blows it up.

74JTu.jpg


NewBee deals with the one closer to the Skyranger.

xcUJq.jpg


And ironyuri dispatches the third one.

3X9Lf.jpg


Gondolin's camera feed reveals another hostile.

LQ2qF.jpg


And Merk expertly snipes it.

bZ54u.jpg


Just when Gondolin discovered the UFO, this Floater shot at the tank. Not much damage was done.

DZqil.jpg


Merk shot down the offending creature.

fzwJL.jpg


JoKa spotted...

8hbN8.jpg


...and ironyuri killed another alien.

cKKOQ.jpg


Another Floater came to see what happened to the first one...

2bEMN.jpg


...and got executed by Spider.

KlHej.jpg


It was the last one.

gEPid.jpg

LcJja.jpg


The science team claims we need to delve deeper into alien technologies to think about reverse-engineering these "Cyberdiscs"

Mj1gD.jpg


This UFO disappears over the Atlantic before chzr can catch up with it.

NYIL2.jpg


This one over Asia is a different matter.

IEN15.jpg


Major Bee and Lieutenant Drog establish visual contact. It's what we call a "Terror Ship". It cannot be allowed to carry out its sinister mission!

pN2jh.jpg


The UFO aggresively attacks Bee's Interceptor!

NIfJ6.png


Fortunately it is downed before it could blast him out of the sky.

Dfw6J.jpg


This crash site recovery will be performed by Team Kwa.

Wait, last time I've checked it, V was a streamlined consoletard popamole fagfest, so surely you can't mean that....

:rage:









:rage:









:rage:


















On a serious note, I too have zero hopes for it, but I must admit that only one special resource is the least of its problems if a problem at all - really, if you would make the same change with III, while keeping the rest of the gameplay intact, it wouldn't provide much worse experience, perhaps on the contrary, it would make an Impossible difficulty multiplaying on random maps more enjoyable since it really, really, really sucks to lose just because you're flooded with, say, sulfur and can't find crystals for life. If you think about it, multiple resources would be important for the gameplay only in the high-tier tournaments on the well-known, predefined map, but since heroes were never close to having a competitive scene, this point is moot, kinda.

......lol. That is serious rape right there. Is there no way to blow a hole in the UFO or something? I always find the opening UFO door is retardedly suicidal.

Not at present, but perhaps a captured alien will reveal the mysteries of Blaster Launchers to us one day. So, you want another go in an away team? :smug:

HMPH, Sure thing - name him Steve > next time i'm opening the doors, prime a dynamite on my feet first. I remember a strategy article saying if someone dies in TFTD, he'll spill his primed nades etc...wonder if it'll work in UFO D.

I usually have a couple of shitty disposable dudes just for that. I equip them with (alien) grenades and prime them before entering. When they are killed they blow up. Usually, I rename them to TOWELHEAD-1, TOWELHEAD-2... etc :)
You only need to be careful to not have any soldiers around towelheads and not to blow up elerium.
Also, any dude that has become subject to alien control or panics (and lives), becomes towelhead and dies in the next mission. Natural selection!

GlLoD.jpg


Team Kwa's Skyranger prepares to land near the downed "Terror Ship"

Uwdbi.jpg


KickAss' tank discovers two hostiles...

25YkQ.jpg


...and the UFO.

jQ1wP.jpg


He dispatches the Reaper.

8fG7Y.jpg


Then he discovers another Floater.

3kbaX.jpg


And one more Reaper.

kaMK5.jpg


Malakalov dispatches a hostile.

CXLvd.jpg


MMXI wounds another and it retaliates! Fortunately our man is only wounded.

qQdHy.jpg


Azira finishes the alien off.

rwpy6.jpg


The second Reaper dies to Hartman's and Slips' laser barrage.

hTS3U.jpg


A Floater finishes off MMXI before he could be stabilised. RIP MMXI Jr :salute:

r5BjH.jpg


Azira retaliates.

0swyo.jpg


KickAss' camera feed reveals two aliens.

ZHQSj.jpg


Malakalov's autocannon fire kills the Reaper and a different Floater...

sswPv.jpg


...while Desmodus deals with the one spotted by KickAss.

RevOs.jpg


Hartman, Slips and Kazgar are unable to kill the Reaper they stumbled upon while storming the UFO!

RYjVj.jpg


The alien must be shell-shocked after the crash, as it merely runs to and fro around the craft. More of it's kind are seen, however!

DdtTj.jpg


Slips throws the doggies something to chew on...

yC6wP.jpg


...and Hartman disposes of the beast most likely to reach our team.

TGUh5.jpg


The high explosives perform as expected.

fwh92.jpg


Azira sots one more Reaper...

bqcFo.jpg


...which is shot by PrzeSzkoda.

8lZZC.jpg


Desmodus discovers a Floater lurking on the building's upper floor, just as expected.

dw7EX.jpg


He disposes of the cloacked figure.

43Guo.jpg


Slips spots...

NANjU.jpg


...and executes a Floater.

G1l4o.jpg


He then locates another one.

7faGP.jpg


But it is Hartman that deals with it.

adCgy.jpg


This Floater tried to shoot Kazgar with its stunning weapon.

FvLVM.jpg


Kazgar repays in kind, using a stun rod.

Wo3nf.jpg


The Pope discovers a Reaper apparently stuck in an overhead alcove.

deRpf.jpg


His Holiness' laser fire merely stuns it.

Y5T5w.jpg


As he was exploring the UFO's upper floor, Kazgar was fatally shot! RIP Kazgar :salute:

BmgTB.jpg


Slips finds his teammate's killer.

t4TrB.jpg


He executes it to the back of its head. Eklektyk will be proud!

D76QI.jpg


This was the last alien.

y1zul.jpg


Azira and Desmodus are promoted to replace the fallen. Congratulations :salute:

EKqAA.jpg


Steve joins KwaCOM.

wmbsw.jpg

gMrRD.jpg


Our science team completes another alien autopsy.

7xuiP.jpg

c2mCE.jpg


Before Lieutenant Drog can intercept the UFO, it lands in North Africa.

SnXSH.jpg

yF57j.jpg


But another is detected over the Mediterranean.

k2TYs.jpg

JnrSS.jpg


Drog brings it down over Italy.

ci4It.jpg


Team Potato prepares to assault the landed Very Small UFO.

BpVSF.jpg


Merk discovers...

6cUrj.jpg

H6YUA.jpg


...and ironyuri kills the sole alien.

6bUbt.jpg


A Large UFO is detected over the Atlantic, likely heading for one the niggerian alien bases. It disappears from radars before it can be intercepted, however.

FKCn1.jpg


Team Potato lands near the Italian crash site.

4QL4f.jpg


Gondolin finds the UFO right next to our landing zone.

8tJyp.jpg


He then discovers a Floater

oVLsE.jpg


If alien screams are to be believed, NewBee and ironyuri killed two of them.

56bAu.jpg


Jaedar finds another Floater.

XFLPj.jpg


As he shoots it, it retaliates. RIP Jaedar :salute:

t74yV.jpg


Merk avenges Jaedar.

N2eGX.jpg


Gondolin parks his tank right next to the Floater he spotted. Maybe the creature will stun itself with its weapon?

M3HhP.jpg


Spider spots an airborne alien.

13PGZ.jpg


He brings it down.

Zlq7X.jpg


As he storms the UFO, Hellraiser comes face to face with two Floaters.

6JZxj.jpg


He mows both down!

NfIAT.jpg


Deeper inside the alien craft, Sergiu66 spots one more hostile.

WTfbu.jpg


He misses the Floater, but the alien's own fire is more precise. RIP Sergiu66 :salute:

kRq9Z.jpg


Toastboy retaliates.

ZBTZN.jpg


Just as the alien stuns itself, another kills Spider! RIP Spider :salute:

DK5jE.jpg


Hellraiser finds another Floater inside the UFO!

7CnEM.jpg


It doesn't stay there for long!

ED96q.jpg


Another stun-weapon armed alien stuns itself against Gondolin's tank.

rJnNh.jpg


JoKa spots...

1CgUM.jpg


...and ironyuri executes Spider's killer!

STV6e.jpg


Mission Accomplished.

msw1Z.jpg


New soldiers are promoted to replace the fallen. Congratulations ironyuri and JoKa :salute:

ormtY.jpg

oJ0vY.jpg


Major Bee brings down an UFO just north off the coast of Spain.

Wa4il.jpg

yawPC.jpg


This landed UFO dusted off as soon as it detected Team Kwa's approaching Skyranger.

7I25B.jpg
