Supermen

SuperMen soldiers stats cheat utility

SuperMen is not a true editor. It does only one thing, in which it excels: It turns the normal, human, cannon-fodder combatants to a bunch of supermen. This turns the game to a walkthrough, even at the "Superhuman" difficulty setting. Basically, it is good for two things: 1. It is a very good way to learn stuff like spawn points, as your soldiers can get from one end of the battle map to the other in a single turn. 2. It was originally created to prevent the heartache of players that actually regard their virtual soldiers as real humans, and then saw them go out one by one.

Using supermen loosing a battle become quite difficult. You may loose a soldier here and there through carelessness, but any remotely feasible tactic would result in a perfect mission score:

Installing and using Supermen

Like many DOS utilities, SuperMen does not require actual installation. The ZIP file contains two files: SUPERMEN.EXE which is the actual "editor", and SUPERM.BAT which is a lazybone batch file that converts all the soldiers in all the save files to supermen. Either copy these two files to the xcom folder or just unzip SUPERMEN.ZIP there. One the "editor" is "installed" you use it by opening a command prompt and entering SUPERMEN followed by the save game number. i.e. SUPERMEN 7 will enhance all the soldiers of save slot 7. There is no option to enhance a single soldier or selected soldiers. All you soldiers in all you bases will be enhanced.
