Talk:Alien Dimension (Apocalypse)
The building list appears to be out of sequential order. -NKF 16:12, 13 November 2009 (EST)
- Most likely it is. I listed them according to a .txt file of the Apoc UFOPedia I have but it might be wrong. Do you know the correct order? Hobbes 17:12, 13 November 2009 (EST)
Woefully equipped alien guards
So I just completed a playthrough and was rather surprised to see that the aliens in the alien dimension were *terribly* equipped. When I finally kicked them out of mega-primus they were consistently packing shields and devastators and had just got entropy launchers, but in the alien dimension almost none had shields and about 3/4 of them had no equipment at all! I initially thought this was just because I was on the Sleeping Chamber mission so they were all caught napping, but even up to the Megapod factory I was finding a lot of weaponless anthropods and skeletoids. Is this an oddity of my game, or a common thing? Binkyuk 06:14, 14 December 2012 (EST)
- Not normally. Can think of two possibilities. Did you use any editor during the course of the playthrough to help speed your way through to that point of the game? If yes, you might not have adjusted the score level to let the aliens access their more advanced tech. If this was through the normal course of a game, then perhaps a glitch or data corruption may have caused them to revert to earlier tech. -NKF 06:47, 14 December 2012 (EST)
- No editor. Interesting thought about the earlier tech, but then they should still have had brainsucker launchers at least (since I was doing a play through entirely in TB that would have been a nightmare!). Could it be that blitzing all the UFOs in the alien dimension caused their bank balance to go negative so it decided they couldn't afford equipment? Or maybe as you say, just a glitch.

- 1) Are these the starting aliens or new spawns? 2) How many troops do you have, and how are they equipped? It is possible that Apoc has a limited item table, which would create similar issues that the previous games had. Attacking with 12 toxigun agents (19 items + 5 armor each), I never noticed any such issue. Bobucles Dec 17, 2012
