Hi I have played for weeks and have finally gotten to the last battle in X-Com:Apocalypse where you have to destroy the building that makes the dimension gates. The First time I tried I got slaughterd so bad it was almost funny. I had brought 14 guys (8 soldiers with toxigun c, 4 psi-dudes all with very high psionics stats, 3 robots with big-ass missle launchers). Each of my dudes (except the robots) had a cloaking device and everyone had a shield. The problem is that all those gazillions of skeletoids were shooting the crap outta me when I couldn't even see em, and there is no cover to hide in. Another problem is the group of like 10 psimorphs which practicaly controlled all my dudes at the same time. I know that next time I need to bring devastator cannons because there are so many of those things I need to destroy. My 8 soldiers all have high stats (100 health, 90-100 acuracy, etc) and with dual devastator cannons on autofire they still have almost perfect accuracy. But it does no good when they can shoot and I can't even see em! Anyone have any advice for this level? -- CatKnight ICQ 963866 catk...@hotmail.com
