Cake on hardest mode? Have you played through on real-time? With the "no-save" mode? With the initial 3 characters? Believe me, you can make it a real pain in the ass if you try

The game needed more vehicles, or at least the possibility of using existing ones on the majority of the levels. St. Louis was probably the most enjoyable mission I've played (got up to Kansas City... see a few topics below. Trying in TB next, with Stoma wielding a Browning). The vehicles dont give ...

Bad disks might well be it. I have not seen recruits with traits the first time around (before my old comp fried) either.

Though I get the feeling that if my squad had nearly all fast shot people, some with a second trait to mutate into Kamikaze... the game would be a wee bit on the easy side.

I did try 1.27.

I have not seen a _human_ recruit with a starting trait, either. If I patch, I'd just be inclined to start all over to make a considerably better team :( Ahwell. Looking for it. Edit: DLed patch from Interplay's site. Says its corrupt. The DL is an hour on 56k, so i dont particularly feel like looki...

5 charisma. I'll check on my bunker save after level 1. Pretty sure I only had the three anyhow.

Edit: No trace of Jax in the beginning, either.

Only initiates I have in there are Jo, Brian, and Trevor (as well as Farsight and Stitch on the team). Sorry but this is just version disparity.

Err, Stoma must be different in 1.27. Mine has 7 AP, and with Mutate->Fastshot, he's hardly worse than Stein, other than in terms of lower skill and perception. The guy's basically an up-armoured supermutant for all practical purposes. I do NOT have a character named Jax in my recruit pool; I'm curr...

Ok, I got to Kansas City. This is my second time playing the game (my comp fried mid-first, around Mardin). I'm a decent player - not the best reaction speed but solid tactical sense. This mission baffles me, though. A little info: Version 1.02. CTB forever. Saving enabled. I'm not a masochist. Team...
