Talk:Requests (EU2012)

Suggestion:

Please post the requests you receive in your games here (item, reward, difficulty level) and I'll see if I can come up with any kind of formula.

Here's some recent requests I got.

FRANCE offered 2 Engineers in exchange for 3 UFO power sources. (Request timed out due to needing my 3 power sources for Firestorms.)

UNITED STATES offered $292 in exchange for 3 UFO power sources. (Request timed out, Firestorms better.)

RUSSIA offered 3 engineers in exchange for 8 Cyberdisk wrecks. (Request active but unlikely to be fulfilled due to only having three wrecks on hand.)

Other requests I've gotten were from South Africa for Sectopods(2), Egypt for Floaters (6 corpses for $60), and I remember getting offered around $1620 for 3 Heavy Plasma in a prior game. Can't recall those all as clearly, though.

Other things I've had requested, so far: SCOPEs, Nanofiber vests, Alien Alloys, Scatter Lasers, laser rifles, some plasma weapons, corpses of Chryssalids, Mutons, Thin Men, and Arc Throwers.

I'll keep you posted as more people ask for my Stuff. Arrow Quivershaft 20:53, 31 October 2012 (EDT)

Germany asked for 4 Laser Pistols in exchange for three engineers. Request fulfilled. Arrow Quivershaft 22:00, 31 October 2012 (EDT)

8 Heavy Floaters for 90 bucks. 4 laser rifles for three engineers. Forget the countries.

Also note that a country can requisition satellite coverage. Arrow Quivershaft 03:22, 3 November 2012 (EDT)

Wow... Almost no consistancy there. At the beginning of a normal or classic game, 4 engineers is considered equivalent to $200. Later on, they seem to be considered to be worth more. It might depend on how many engineers you already have. (i.e. going from 5 to 10 engineers is pretty easy by building a workshop. But going from 35 to 40 is very difficult, as you'll be running out of base space by then).

Plasma weapons are well over-priced. Lesson: Stun as many aliens as you can to get their intact weapons from the start!--Luge 04:03, 5 November 2012 (EST)

Enemy Within requests

Recently, I had the game request I transfer four Ghost Grenades over in June(!). Needless to say, this request went unfulfilled because I hadn't killed 17 seekers by that point. (One for autopsy to unlock GG, and four per grenade.) I've been seeing a bit more of these 'unreasonable' requests in Enemy Within, where they request things that you simply have no practical method of providing. On the other hand, I've also seen a request for Reaper Rounds, which was easy to fulfill. Arrow Quivershaft 12:22, 6 December 2013 (EST)
