Has anyone bothered to wait after using the Ethereal device, but before attacking the temple ship?

I believe the game just continues to go in a circle.

[crazysheep]

Right.. I'll experiment and see what happens then.

EDIT: well, it's a circle. A rather boring circle which you can't speed up.

Bumping to note an interesting bug on the "rescue that general" council mission.
So you know how there's a soldier who is part of Van Doorn's entourage, hiding behind a car (depending on the map) midway between your squad and where Van Doorn is taking cover/hiding? This bug somehow causes this soldier to swap identities with Van Doorn:

Spoiler: bodyswap (click to show/hide)

You can end the mission immediately by sending this guy to the Skyranger. I'd suppose if he were killed, it would cause you to fail the mission too:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm not sure exactly what causes the bug, given that EW decided to crash twice while I was playing. I'd consider it irreproducible for now, so I'll hold on to the save file from this mission.


Also, a little elaboration on the boring circle mentioned in the previous post: you can't timewarp by scanning for activity in mission control, because the game assumes that you're going off to fight the good fight on the temple ship, and removes the option to scan for activity. However, time doesn't stop completely while you stay in mission control, it ticks along at about 1min/sec, so if you're patient enough you can wait things out. Events continue to happen as well - I managed to shoot down a battleship class UFO while waiting for some genemods to complete, and then ended up waiting for the injured from the battleship crash site raid to recover..

Yeah I've seen that bug happen in Enemy Unknown with the security guys on the museum map (the one with Thomas Hutch).  I think it happened after a crash; after a couple more soft resets I had control over the target without having gone over to him yet and all of the security detail.  Moving one of the security guys to the extraction zone caused the objectives to be marked as complete but the mission didn't end, and I had to revert to an earlier save.

So I got this a week ago and am having fun and all. I've currently resigned to playing on the "Normal" difficulty setting, despite combat being a bit less intense, because on Classic the whole world goes panic on me before I even get my first pay check. Any tips on handling it for a beginner?

Oh, and are there any good mods out there you recommend, I'd be grateful for a pointer.

[Mr Space Cat]

To manage panic, take abduction missions in the highest level panicking countries, build as many satellites as you can launch each month, make sure you're building at least one new satellite facility each month, and only launch sattelites at the end of the month, a few days before the council report, and prioritize launching over panicking red level countries over any others. Satellites will be your number one method of panic management in early game. After that, make sure you don't screw up too many missions.

As far as good mods go I've heard Long War turns XCOM into a completely rebalanced game. If you've got Enemy Unknown then there should be a working version, but there's also an EW beta mod available. I'd recommend not trying Long War without beating at least one game, and at least trying a couple games on classic. Long War is a huge change to the game, so being good with the basics makes it easier to transition to.

[Parsely]

I heard Long War is fantastic. Better play vanilla for a while though.

So looks like there's an Android version of XCOM EU out. I almost clicked the buy button immediately, but just wondering if anyone's bought it yet and what is it like?
