I want a mod that puts cows in the game, so I can use cows as cover.

Grab the dogs from final mod pack and modify them into civilians for terror missions.

Then just rescale the sprites a bit in paint, add horns, recolour them and you're done. Savage attack cows defending earth from the alien mutilation squads.

It's not cows with guns, but it's not bad.

This might just crash the game due to them "sort of" being HWP tanks, which I'm not sure if civvies are allowed to be.

(I'm not sure if cow/dog/tank/civvy hybrids will attack aliens in terror missions with the current AI. But it will be hilarious if they do so. Please report back with screenshots if this is a thing.)

Could we mod all civilians in terror missions to be plasma hovertanks?

[MarcAFK]

Could we mod the Civilians to not be complete morons?

I can sprite but I'm not so hot at coding. Sectocows could be a thing if I had a partner.

[sambojin]

I'll look into it. Can sprite and bodgy-mod code a bit. No time limit, because civvy tanks will be a worthwhile usage of my time too. If one works, so will the other.

Let the game crashes commence!

I will give real life money to anyone who codes terror missions as Xcom saving the terrified aliens from a city full of plasma and launcher hovertanks.

Or maybe just having to survive for twenty turns in the middle of a civil war between the tanks and the sectopods

I want civilians to infect aliens and XCOM operatives and turn them into civilians.

A fate worse than death.

Piratez can feel like that, terror missions are "Mutant progroms" where the mostly human factions go and try to kill mutated civilians en-mass. They do bring tanks sometimes.

And giant dinosaurs with rocket launchers.

Playing my first mutant progrom (terror) mission in the Piratez mod on Davey Jones difficulty (second hardest). Only half my crew has Smoke Ops armour, and I've foolishly equipped them all with harpoon gun stunners rather than extreme amounts of rockets. Mixed force of Academy/A.Security/Drones and Cyber Disks so far.

This probably won't go well....

After I lost like 5 times, I was like "forget the hostage, screw those guys, every body grab your black powder bomb and HAMMER!"

This run still going strong, so far.
I may not have a new shiny toy, but hell I'm still alive.

[GiglameshDespair]

Black powder bombs seem so incredibly useful, more so even than standard grenades.

[sambojin]

Had an oddity after failing that mission. I decided to pretty much abandon the game at the end of the month and do a bit of research to check out some future tech for another "serious" play through. Got 15 brainers, ignored all missions and ufos and just quick-timed it through the research topics.

Got a score of 978 first month and some funding increases.

Got a score of about 800 the next, got a slight overall funding increase.

Whilst these scores aren't good by any means, they're at least positive. And I did literally nothing but research.  Seems a bit high, even with a score boost for the thingies I discovered. Odd, anyway.


As a question, do high resolution and long range radars bug out with each other? I don't seem to actually be discovering that many ufos with both active, at a base just NW of Turkey (so covering most of Europe, and some of the Middle East, Russia and North Africa). Just seems a bit low.
