Epic Mode

[Rawcactus]

I think the game should be able to continue unendning, still spawning random ufo landings, even though the game is completed. Like the epic mode in civilization. Lets say game end, but you can click "keep playing" if you want, or just be happy you won.

well on civ after you have global dominance there is no point in playing, if you get one of the fuzzy wins then you can keep playing for the dominance one as well.

with this one after you reach the stories end you already have all the weapon to take out the aliens with ease so what point is there to keeping playing

Just out of curiosity: How long in terms of ingame-time does it approximately take until i can "win"?
I didn't get there yet so i can't actually say how it works, but up to now you'll win by destroying the alien base if i got that right, yes?
Then it would be quite simple to play it infinitely... don't destroy that base If you overpowered them and rid them of their foothold on earth - why shouldn't you have won by that? Those Aliens aren't stupid - if they get their asses kicked too badly then i suppose they'll go find some easier victims in another part of the galaxy

well as it currently stands you can't *win* just run out of story

i do think my "win" and your *win* mean quite the same

So... how long does it take to run out of story? (There is a story ark in the game atm? )

in the stable version it runs out at the first infection mission IIRC

not sure on the Dev Version
