I agree. They also should try to pickup other alien corpses, so that XCOM forces cannot research on them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I do not concur. They should first try to destroy the Xeno soldiers, then try to destroy the corpses. The aliens send units on self destruct missions they wouldn't bother with picking up a corpse.

I could help with updating the Polish files. Will post later today.

I can translate to German and Polish. Xcom and TFTD were avaiable in German, TFTD was translated to Polish by the Polish distributor, so I'd have some guidelines for general feel.

So should we delete our messages or not? I know that the idea is crazy and in my messages you can see that I don't think we should dvelve into the topic...

I'm from Poland but live in Germany for 16 years now - I'm fluent in Polish, German and English. And I'll be glad to help

And it's FÜHRER...

Guess you're right about it beeing only in UFO, and sure this does not happen in the CE version. But if you have finished TFTD on superhuman and it was easy do the same with UFO for a change - different tactics - different game feel.

Yeah that's what i'm thinking, too. Let's have some missions that fit into the storyline well, with perhaps one mission somehow connected with the 1940's topic, but let's not make a big part of the story connected to this particular theme. A fantastic idea for a mod though, I think. (2005/2006 probably - well worth the wait)

Well, I have translated the main Geoscape menu into Polish, translations based where possible on the official Polish translation of TFTD. Several problems: - Polish has several unique letters (I had to replace them by the most similar ones, like in WYPOSAZ there should be a dot over the Z) - WYPOSAZ POJAZDY barely fits (I have made it even shorter than in the Polish TFTD because there the Polish version of "Boat Equipment" was used and this was way longer) - Database is "Baza danych" in Polish and I can't think of a shorter version for "BAZA DANYCH X-NET" I have not translated the other menus, but there could be a possible problem with Polish month names, as there is PAZDZIERNIK with 11 letters, and in English the longest month name is September with 9 letters. While some might consider this a rather exotic translation I'd like to remember you that TFTD was officially translated into Polish because of the big fan base. P.S. I've used the Gotthard font, 8 pt, all caps, with horizontal scale (place between letters) set to 130%. You could get the two longest phrases shorter by approx half a letter if you set the horizontal scale to 100%. Here's the pic:

Wasn't there a bug that caused all games to be played on easy? Fixed by Xcomutil? I suppose you already knew that, so you probably just got lucky...

Well, the don't have to be SS, they could be from the Wehrmacht or the Luftwaffe... And the UFO is not landing, it is relaunching after it's German crew has refuelled it... For those of you who believe in conspiracy theories... And you could make a whole game based on the "Nazis invent the Flying Saucer" theme... Or "Nazis cooperate with Aliens"... But as we don't want Xenocide to become another MOH let's keep it small. Well one base could still be there perhaps only giving hints of such activities?

I remember that when you played Fallout it had some special random events that occured on the world map. So some special missions beeing hidden somewhere would be a super hidden candy bonus Perhaps as a kind of expansion pack for Xenocide

Being new here, and hoping this was not posted before, I'd like to post an idea I got from playing Aftermath. (Copying ideas is okay if you do it right - Silent Hill is now better than Resident Evil and it used basically the same idea) IN UFO, there was one special mission on Mars, TFTD had this mission in T'leth IIRC. Why not have some more special missions as part of the storyline, like an special Alien outpost on the moon (like their semi-main [is that a word?] headquaters there), an alien museum of human technology near T'leth where the aliens keep all those planes and ships from the Bermuda triangle and you can get vast amounts of scientific data, Area51/Dreamland being controlled by aliens [Aftermath inspired], something in Tunguska where supposedly a huge UFO crashed in 1908 - perhaps a Russian science base there , an secret base in the Arctic/Grenland built into the ice, a huge alien ship orbiting earth where you have to sneak in (guess the whack movie) and more... Obvoiusly, not all are easy as much modelling and texturing would have to be done, but an Alien moon base could look like their bases on earth just have some special rooms - like hangars for example and a special control room, the spaceship could look like the UFOs with some added content. Some ideas for the start here. What do you think?
