Have recently aquired x-com apocalypse PC version;

Am using hoverbike and hovercar swarms to attack ufo's and causing
them to crash. my vehicles are equiped with passengers, cargo modules,
transport modules and alien containment but I am unable to investigate
crashed UFO's
what have I missed??

Also what does the temple of sirius look like as I can't find it
anywhere.

cheers

You'll find the CoS's buildings are all the same except for the number of
levels they have. Beginner has 2 single floor buildings, while Superhuman
has about 8 locations, with numerous buildings, some with 8 floors. They're
very pretty when they're crumbling to the ground. :)

What other game is versatile enough to let you do raid or assault or
demolition missions without you having to tell the game you're doing
that?
