Discussion / What the heck am I doing wrong?
« on: November 19, 2013, 12:40:05 am »
I've played pretty much all of the XCom games at one point or another (including Enemy Unknown). I had played UFO-AI 2.4 before and abandoned it since the campaign wasn't completed.
Remembered UFO-AI last night and downloaded 2.5 and started a game on Standard difficulty. Played maybe 5 or 6 games and losing each time due to some nation being unhappy. Decided to try one on Easy so I could figure out how things worked.
In 6 days on Easy I had 72 UFOs. I kid you not. I lost half my squad on the first one and basically had to just ignore the others before giving up on the game. I started a new game on Easy and had 3 nations change to Neutral status on the first day - before I had really done anything.
Is there something wrong with the Easy campaign? I've yet to be able to get past the first month before losing the game on easy.
I'm also guessing that the difficulty is quite a bit higher on this than on the original games. Anybody have any links to guides or things that might help me pinpoint what the heck I'm doing wrong?
