Preventing Countries Signing Pact

Recommended Posts

I tried to do so. I managed to shot down all the UFOs (Large Scout, Supply Ship(s), Terror Ship and Battle Ship) long before they even reached UK, but when the month ended what do I see? "UK has signed secret pact with alien force and withdrawn from project." Is it possible to prevent it anyhow? Edited by Extralucas

Either, you didn't shoot them all down or as I suspect meetings can occur in non-funding cities; I lost India once and the only UFO that landed was in Tehran.

Hyper Wave Decoders in all my bases, I have bases on all continenets. I had similiar situation with USA either. None of the UFOs managed to land, all crashed with Avengers and Interceptors. But USA still signs the pact...

Any alien bases will rack up infiltration points in the surrounding countries.

When there are enough points, an infiltration ship will come. When you see it, and the alien score in that country is high enough, you've basically lost them to the aliens. I dunno if shooting down the ship will do any good.

When you see a "ufo fleet with alien infiltration mission" it's too late, doesn't help if you drop them all and go finish them off, that country is lost.

But, a fleet of floater infiltration ships is a goldmine. If you have enough troop transports, you can get each of the battleships as they land. There's no need to shoot them down. If you did, you'd probably lose a few ships, and alot of Elerium.

 

The resources from 4 intact battleships is just incredible. ^_^

Keep your scores high and you /might/ get countries back.

 

I have but funding is chaotic after that.

 

BTW has anyone ever lost Russia?

I once had every type of ship, even harvesters and supply ships come and take USA. I think they usually attack in swarms to increase the infiltration points. WHy else use supply ships? :?:

Maybe you missed it?  You may not have detected it.

Nope, I replayed from previous saves again and again.

 

Please remember this folks: your radars may not spot all the UFOs but your graphs do. So I watched my graphs to monitor alien activity levels.

Get out! You can get countries back? I've never seen that ever!

 

Yeah, I lost Russia a few times.

 

On topic. I've cheated and built a huge earth wide web of bases, radar et al, loaded for bear with Avengers, shot down every UFO, and still bases appeared and countries left.

I really should dig up the version of mine, but it's an old old DOS one with the disjoint and no difficulty levels bugs (repaired by the good works of Mr. S Jones, of course).

in old non-patched version of ufo i once got south africa and japan back. they got infiltrated and ceased to pay me, and 6 months later started to pay me again, after another 6 months stopped, etc.

they always gave me the same amount of money they were giving me when i lost them. i think i've still got that savegame somewhere, if anybody's interested.
