Scott Jones lists a series of scenarios for XCOM on his XCOMUTIL webpage. I just thought I'd add a few more, for TFTD as well. The first is HAND2HAND : Using only hand to hand weapons in combat. The second is NATIONALISM : Pick any 1 country, and protect only that. Build your bases around that country. The trick is to survive the eventual defection of every other nation to alien control. The third is NO_MIND_CONTROL: You cannot learn and use the ability, or the related technologies. Fourth is AQUATIC: Fight only in water. Or the reverse, only above water. The first should be winnable, but you cannot respond to terror missions or defend a base. The second is not winnable, but you can respond to terror and fight base defence. Any more suggestions? George

Using only two agents, one male and one female, throughout the entire game as your sole agents... :) -- The DervMan www.dervman.com

The maps are so huge that sometimes you barely see an alien, especially on second level. Playing the whole game with just one guy probably makes for short games :)

Just a mention concering the AQUATIC challenge type. Technically the bases in TFTD are floating and have parts above and below the water, so technically you can win both.
