I finally beat Cydonia!!!!! :Brain: :Brain: :Brain:
Man I am GO(O)D :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
I try some other challenge now....Hmm this no reload one looks fine
You beat the game using nothing but Avalanched-equipped Interceptors, Skyrangers, radar (no Hyperwave), no psi labs, no armor, and not even lasers or anything, but autocannons and high explosives?? Wow. Just... wow. Congrats. Somehow I think that you at least build psi labs (although no psi amps), else it would have taken you ages. But even so, not having anything better than autocannons must have totally sucked.

I used hyperwave detectors and PSI labs...I didnt used anything that you couldnt "buy" and becouse you "buy" buildings,I decided that it is O.K to have them... LOL
In the end I didnt used practically nothing else than Rocket Launchers,Stun Rods and HE...Even Autocannon completly suck against mutons......(You can kill etherals pretty easy with them,I dont understand why,thought :blink: )

Yeah Hyperwave just makes life easier rather than building a ton of radars.. psi lab just to figure out whom to sack. Ethereals aren't good against HE ammo, unlike Mutons, and Ethereals don't have as much health as Mutons. Sheesh, now I'll have to try the Earthling-Tech challenge. :crazy:

Duh Hyperwaves were sometimes even greater problem that advantage....I have monthly revenue something about 1000 dollars(Monthly earns-monthly costs....)...Then I destroyed that three alien bases, and dismmised some scientists and It was OK again.... LOL

I've been playing my own variation. My variation is if I can get it from the aliens, I'm not allowed to use it(Except ship ship components and elerium) everything else is ok. So that allows armor.

Hm, going to Cydonia to face cyberdisks, chryssalids, etherals, and sectoids WITHOUT armor... Hey, they have armor. It's 12AC in front as opposed to the 100AC of power armor .

No need for armour there, just take 24 soldiers (rookies are good cannon fodder) arm most of them just with Laser Rifles, but give a couple of them Rocket Launchers with incendiary ammo.

Nothing on Cydonia is good vs Incendiary ammo.

Even Cyberdisks get killed by it pretty swiftly.

Also, Plasma Cannons are a one-off payment, no reloads needed.
