Thumbs up

Some time ago i saw in the market a game named.
UFO GNIEW BOGA (Wrath of God).
I was an Turn based strategy similar to EU and TFTD.
Even the screens at the back looked familiar.
i recognised sectoids with their disks and humans in power armour with tanks.
Is it a part of ufo saga ?

It sounds like a mod to me.

Hints for anyone struggling with grenades : space yourselves out and get armour as soon as possible, that way, your troops will survive.

OTOH you could just split up and go Rambo with a guass pistol.



And a tip about Lobstermen - They are very easy to kill or stun in close combat, a single taser hit drops them to the floor. Then throw them towards your transport!

Prime them and then throw them 1 square away from a door (not right next to it). If anything tries to come out of it then they will die.

Other than Lobstermen, obviously. Hit them with Thermal Tazers instead.

I never used them in any of the 3 games. The reason is simple; if you know how to play your team tactic well, using soldiers to hunt down the Aliens is way more faster and often even simplier.

The only "good" use I could think of would be to securize your back when you are running around with a single squaddie. That way you'll know if an Alien is coming at your back.

Otherwise, I guess you really need to be very, very patient...

yah there doesent' seem to be much use of them. mainly because their damage is weak.

i did found in one walkthrough that you can use them to fidn out where aliens are, but the problem is that their hidden movement often means that they remain in one place.

has anyone else noticed how aliens love that kitchen on the passanger boat? i wonder what kind of a meal they cook on thsese boats to attract aliens so much. oh and they also seem to be some kind of perverts since often they hide in wardrobes or whatever those small areas in passanger quarter are. LOL

Use D-Fend, it's a lot easier. I don't use straight DOSBox because I know little about DOS.

D-Fend on the other hand is piss-easy to use.
