Open loss against Intri2. Very close game, down to one on one, missed my last shot when opponent reacted with a good aimed laser blow.
A question, I've never played with alien races, are we allowed to (esp. in the tournament)? There a couple of good units there with flying abilities, etc, with good armor as well.

Of course we are. I use them all the time. The Ethereals are great flying units, with better armor than a squaddie with the first blue armor.

I thought the tourney was limited to humans only?

Well, I just checked the rules on the first page of the tourney thread and they seem to change all the time... I was sure it was 7 squaddies max, not it is 6...

Anyways, there is no restriction on the races you can play, thus you can use any alien race as you want.

I was playing a practice game against someone named "lemm". Unfortunatly, some kind of bug happened and we could not complete our game.

So much for the so called "stable" version... :notrust:

1086 is actually better, it just has large memory leakage problems. It actually has a better weapon set as well

Fifth Horseman asked for a max of 7 players and 7k, but we did a compromise (6 soldiers and 7k).But this happened time ago, we don't change rules since weeks.

Right

I did a quick analysis of $/armour ratios for all types of soldiers and aliens. Reasoning was stats can be modded anyway and I couldn't really see any differences between a human soldier and an alien soldier (same stats available for both).

It seems the best armours are the Ion ones (sorry I'm used to the TFTD ufopaedia), with the flying one being marginally more expensive but giving the player freedom of space.
Muton/chameleon came in third with a good solid ratio.

Worst: Sectoid, then Human (no armour) then Floater but then the Floater floates so it could still be a good choice when cash is scarce.

If anyone is interested in the actual numbers or how I did it (and critics are welcome) let me know.

Pay attention...sectoids are cheap and insidious! They have suicidal tendences
