Plz, i need some help with the game. In first missions my soldiers are extremely-exterminated(later too  ) I need a help which reasrches to do next, which facilities, WHAT TO DO! Help me! :help: Please!

For starters, I'd recommend researching Laser Weapons or Medikit (though soldiers have a tendency to die and not just get wounded :P ) and building Alien Containment and Large Radar Facility.
For keeping your soldiers from getting exterminated, there's not much tips more vital than "practice, practice, practice". At the start you should avoid night missions (wait for it to be day, intercept the site with Interceptors to keep it from disappearing). Always remember to have cover as much as possible. Keep your soldiers spread out but in small groups so they can help each other easily. Use smoke grenades for cover on open areas. Oh, and remember... ALIENS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN YOU. They have better skills, better weapons, usually know where you are and aren't affected by darkness.
If all else fails, load and try again until you get it right

And my opinion is that enemy unknown is much better than terror from the deep because all the mission in tftd are to long. In some missions everyone has to search after aliens in every hidden corner and then these 2 or 3 level missions. I'm really sorry that i complain so much about tftd but enemy unknown is much better.
my favorite weapon is the fusion rocketlauncher witch i use very often.
enemy unknown is still the best turn based strategy game ever developed.

I think Cydonia can be easier than the rest of the game, but yes, you should try harder difficulties.
Yeah, TFTD has annoyingly large and long missions, but much more variety than UFO: Crash sites with lots of random terrains, port terror site, island terror site, cargo / cruiser ship, alien base, alien artefact.
