Talk:Making The Game Harder (EU2012)

Top Gun sounds impossible. Raven has too short engage time against Overseer even with track consumable and Overseer runs after first interception. Moyang 01:46, 9 January 2013 (EST)

Doesn't the Overseer remain airborne if you fail the intercept? If so, you can send up to 4 interceptors to try to take it out, one at a time. Hobbes 07:32, 9 January 2013 (EST)

It remains for short time, but it soon runs away and personally I couldn't intercept for second time. Moyang 18:09, 9 January 2013 (EST)

Since the Overseer UFO never lands, isn't Pacifist simply impossible? Binkyuk 11:19, 9 January 2013 (EST)

Guys, quoting from the introduction at the top of the page: Some may make the game very hard or even impossible to win.. The whole idea behind the page is to be creative regarding the game. If it is clearly impossible feel free to add the reason under the respective idea. I've been playing a CI game until 2020 because I decided I wanted 99 Psionic female Colonels (don't ask why... I stopped at 42)... I clearly wasn't playing to win :) Hobbes 12:46, 9 January 2013 (EST)

It's actually impossible to play that way at all. To get an Arc Thrower, you need to finish the 1st mission, which you can't finish unless you kill all the aliens. Also, some enemies cannot be stunned at all (robotic aliens, Chrysalids, Zombies). Also, Arc Thrower has only 2 charges and even with 6-man squad, you won't be able to stun all the aliens all the time, as there are usually more than 12 on bigger ships or terror missions. What could be tried, though, is to rush the research for the Arc Thrower and always try to stun any stunnable aliens thereafter, minimising the kill count. --N21 (talk) 12:23, 23 February 2014 (EST)
