Oh boy.
Only my second Terror mission on Superhuman and I am getting *Killed*. Using XcomUtil so the aliens really are tougher.
The first run through, I fought to the bitter end, my last guy was killed by the last Sectoid (leader). I guess if I hadn't been trying to take him alive, I would have made it.
Second run through I was a bit more careless about civilian and alien lives and a bit more liberal with the old rocket launcher and HE auto cannon! Still got killed, lots of Psi activity, Sectoids taking 3(!) hits from a Laser Rifle to go down, unbelievable reactive fire from the baddies... ouch. I got out of there with 3 men walking and 3 men wounded, out of a squad of 14. But at least Moscow is safe!
I want Power Suits and Heavy Plasma and I want them now!!
Actually 15 days later my squad is mostly equipped with Power Suits, and the lab boys are working hard on figuring out which end of the Heavy Plasma to point, and which button to push.
(Talking about Xcomutil here...)

Ok it looked sweet and I chose some interesting features (equipment memory, troop order in transport, more logical setup of first base) but it kick me out of the game 80% of the time when I enter combat so...
And it looked too complicated to set the order so I'll probably stay with the normal version...oh well.

Well every time you move between Geoscape and Battlescape, the game will 'kick you out', and you will see a black dos window (this is the XcomUtil loader). Quite often, this dos window hangs. You need to click in it, press enter, maybe press control C. Then you go back to the game! This happens to me all the time but it hardly ever gets stuck. Slightly weird but not too annoying.
If there is just one order of soldiers you want, all the time, in theory you could do this with a save game editor. Figure out the existing order of soldiers, and then edit all the soldiers stats, names, etc so that they are in the order you want.
