Yeah I thought so that the bar of red doom was a bad sign when it started to get bigger.

but now I know the amount of nations where I can just watch and see it all go to hell.....I mean dramatically have a single tear rolling down my cheek while trying to hold my maniacal laughter...I mean not to cry as innocent people are beeing slaughtered.

Thank you
*starts scratching nations of a list*
don't need you...and you....you....mmm

Had a terror mission go very bad. Lost my whole squad to the spider-looking aliens and "zombies".

Yay, lost most of my experienced troops.

Researched carapace armor afterwards. They are somewhat more protected now compared to the standard armor.

Until I met Mutons.

Spoiler alert: the final boss can control your troops minds. That's a bad thing when you have psionic flying plasma rifle toting supersoldiers.

Mutons aren't bad, especially given the choice of having them or a Cyberdisc...I would go for Mutons anyday.

I had the luck of having them both in 1 missions

Don't rush it anymore than other missions. I do what I can on those, but really getting my guys through that is more important.

But it certainly can go south in a heartbeat...

It's a miracle I only lost half the team on op. Stone Law. Moved everyone to cover from deployment, 2 thin man come into view on their turn and the reaction shots failed to kill anything. Before I could do anything substantial, I was in contact with every bloody enemy on the map at once, including a Cyberdisc.

Not a good day.

Terror mission in Cairo.

Walk out of Skyranger...receive Cyberdisc and three Sectoids.

It's the smaller maps that really hurt. Barely make a move before making contact, and after that patrols start wandering into the fight. Run out of ammo halfway through and yer toast.

Nah, some of the smaller maps are definitely death traps, but it's the larger landed/crashed UFO maps that are the real problem. You try to take your time fighting some Sectoids and suddenly your flanks are filled with Mutons and Floaters...

Or Mutons & Chrysalids... thank god I had plenty of rockets with me, the game,
FOR A CHANGE, decided I really should not hit those Mutons from point-blank
range with a machine gun.
