Vaeliorin Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 That...is a lot of chryssalids. Lucky to have the flamethrower. Those things made me abandon many a terror mission (I think it was the 2nd or 3rd Long War terror mission I did had 15 zombies and ~10 chryssalids as the spawns on the library map. Not doable with low level characters with only 2-3 laser rifles, at least not doable by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Rad the Mad? And he is the 4th? I have no idea what the reference is, but I use a custom name list that automatically grabs a random name for each soldier when I recruit them. This particular name list is just the memberlist of some other forum I participate in. There's a handy web tool here to generate the namelist in the correct format. That...is a lot of chryssalids. Lucky to have the flamethrower. Those things made me abandon many a terror mission (I think it was the 2nd or 3rd Long War terror mission I did had 15 zombies and ~10 chryssalids as the spawns on the library map. Not doable with low level characters with only 2-3 laser rifles, at least not doable by me. Both of them would be scripted. I believe the June terror mission will pretty much always be zombies with some Chryssalids, which would almost always be the third terror mission as you've seen. Zombies that are pre-placed on the map never spawn more Chryssalids, so you can take all the time you want with them. I had a screenshot earlier in this thread featuring them, it looks alarming but there's no risk whatsoever. As long as you can take out the 'lids, you can hold off the zombies indefinitely. Likewise, this one I just did, is the 9th (I think, could be 11th) Terror mission which will always be all Chryssalids with one queen. By this time, the player should have enough firepower that it isn't a problem. In the screenshots above, I goofed by placing my Rocketeer in a poor position and she couldn't get a Shredder rocket off, and of course Acid doesn't work on them. But even without those modifiers, I still managed to kill it, even if just barely. Would have been trivial with Shredder.

But even without those modifiers, I still managed to kill it, even if just barely. Would have been trivial with Shredder. The problem was that a second pod of zombies would invariably show up while I was dealing with the first, and I just didn't have the firepower to take them down before they got to me. The map was just too small for the number of enemies that were on it, as far as I was concerned. I am, however, at best mediocre, since I tend to lose focus.

why Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I never played Oregon trail, but I played all of the infocom games, even the bad ones. I have the GoG value pack for them. I still think Zork Nemesis is an excellent game. I just hope I can get it to display right. Then I can post a pic when I olay it. bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) I only ever died of Dysentery in the Oregon Trail. I did starve to death in Sorcerer though.
