KGB Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 (edited) Just had mine ... 7930. 4 alien bases, 2 battleships (both ethreals) ... as you can see I had my hands full! P.S.Everyone was happy except one, USA signed a contract with aliens. Now this is odd since 95% of all the ufos I killed was in USA/CANADA area (including 2 bases).My second base near the USA/Canada border, I have Hyper-wave decoder and I see EVERYTHING near by. According to my calculations they should be more then happy but they are not for some reason. No matter how many times I reload they always quit my allience. P.S.S.According to Kuo-Sheng strategy guide the most aliens ever seen on a terror ship is 24. However when I went to a terror mission I had : 5 Sectopods and 9 ethreals. That equals 29 by my calculations (Any 4-space creatures counts as 4 aliens for this). Got lucky, 3 sectopods were on the same gaz station, one auto shot killed them all and half of the map including all the buildings around them, it was just like an A-BOMB Edited January 11, 2004 by KGB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 USA is your biggest funder, was the funding change positive or negative at the end of the month? I don't remember how much my top score is, over 5000 is pretty common but iit could have been more sometimes during all these years of playing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 10,000 something. 8 Battleships (3 Eths and 5 mutons) and Three bases (one Snakeman, One Eth, and one Muton) That isn't even counting the ufos that I had to let get away...

KGB Posted January 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 The funding was negative ... duh! -1.4 mil for USA and +1.2 mil from the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted January 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 And the funny thing is cuz of my "bad score" + 7930. Xcom agents just found another base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted January 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 (edited) I probably could have gotten more points but I was preparing for the final assault.Just entered the main base. I only brought blaster launchers : 20 ppl, 20 launchers and 60 bombs. I hope it's "gonna be a blast" P.S.All soldiers have psi strength of 90+. Took me 3 months and over 90 million $ to find all 20 P.S.SI'm broke now Edited January 11, 2004 by KGB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo Dojo 58 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Hehe... how about 18 people and two blaster tanks? That'd bring even more carnage! Psi strength of 90? Wow, I'm simply happy with over 60! I like 80+ for my amp users. My highest score was around 9000. I had four battleships land, and a bunch of other ones. I captured them whole, for maximum Elerium, and points. To bad it was only beginner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puasonen Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I can't remember my scores exactly but I remember having around 10000 at the best. (a little less) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[stewart] Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 5 digits but I can't remember. Left my alien bases alone until I had Psionics, once, so in one month I cleared them all out, like 20 of them, along with everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puasonen Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Dealing 20 alien bases in one month surely brings points + all downed ufos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Just finished the game, only 11 people "survived". Damn 2 etherels with 2 blaster launchers of their own. :crying: The ending was really funny. All my soldiers (but one) were standing near the brain (one next to the other) then one of my soldiers (ironicly named GOD) decided to make an ultimate carnage. Fed up with all the killings, he went berzerk and killed all others including the brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 1102 for me , I have never finished the game because I normally get tired of the game before I can beat it, is the ending any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobethy Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 What's your highest monthly rating? mine is 5536. I took out 3 alien bases, 1 alien battleship, and various else. But, I still lost Usa, and Japan that month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remysweet Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 I recall getting over 10,000 pts one month on superhuman. lost no countries, got a funding increase of about $1.5 million. I've already lost Japan and China because there are 2 bases in the China/Mongolia area. I took one of them out and I keep raiding supply ships at the other one. Also, I have 3 manufacturing bases and I'm manufacturing tons and tons of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo Dojo 58 Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Does manufacturing stuff give you points? I've gotten about 10,000 as well. When you get 4 floater battleships wanting to land... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalgo Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 My highest monthly score in my current game was 8858 for June even though I lost USA (playing on Veteran). However in a previous game I scored over 19000 one month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevelyan Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 like around 5500 for me... but I like to shoot down UFOs into the water to make TFTD a bit more believeable.

[NKF] Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 And here I am happy with a couple thousand a month. If you want your points to skyrocket, let the aliens build their bases all over the globe, go after the supply ships when they land. To make it skyrocket even further, go on a continuous frenzy of Zombie's patented Smash and Grab missions. Just keep launching mission every time your troop transport (of a huge fleet of transports) is ready to launch. I don't have the stamina or patience to do something like that, but it would certainly make quite the conversation piece at parties! - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 If you want your points to skyrocket, let the aliens build their bases all over the globe, go after the supply ships when they land. To make it skyrocket even further, go on a continuous frenzy of Zombie's patented Smash and Grab missions. Just keep launching mission every time your troop transport (of a huge fleet of transports) is ready to launch.Yup, in a good month with little alien activity I can easily amass 50000 points by doing continuous Smash 'n Grab alien base missions. This is with two Skyrangers in a X-COM base in Europe and the alien base at the North Pole. When your group which assaulted the base returns home, shuttle them over to the other Skyranger (which is now fully fueled and ready to go from the last mission), and then send them back for some more fun. I haven't tried this with an X-COM base built directy on top of an alien base with multiple Avengers (cutting the transportation time to basically nil, but you still have that nasty 30 minutes of rearm time and refueling time to cope with). I suspect that I could easily get into the 6-7 digit range for monthly score with this setup. Even more with multiple bases and strike forces. I don't have the stamina or patience to do something like that, but it would certainly make quite the conversation piece at parties!Unsurprisingly, it doesn't quite go over that well at parties. Best stick with other subjects and only bring up X-COM in extreme emergencies or a lull in the party. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfan Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) I once had in my first month a score of 4700 and I almost intercepted a terror ship at the end of the month (which would add another 1000 with ground assault). I had 16 UFOs that month and I ran out of money for missiles at the end.Due to many tactical missions, my two top snipers had accuracy around 86 and the rest near/above 70.But the game didn't fare well a month after that (I have learned a great deal since then).
