X-COM - First Alien Invasion Cheats

X-COM - First Alien Invasion

Hint 1:
-------
Be wary of the power-up question marks. Yes, they can be neat, but they 
often hide a land mine that can take out a trooper or an alien in one 
burst.


Hint 2:
-------
Rockets and blaster bolts affect not only what they hit, but also everything
in adjacent squares. So although a rocket launcher's range is six tiles, it 
can damage seven tiles (six tiles plus a one-tile fragmentation range). 


Hint 3:
-------
Use the Move and Fire order to duck out of a door, snap off a shot, and 
then duck back inside. This hides your soldier from return fire during your
opponent's turn. 


Hint 4:
------- 
Use the Etherals' psionic power on the most powerful enemy target visible.
Although the attack does little damage, the psionically controlled target 
may fire at its fellow troopers (or at itself for that matter). You want 
that friendly fire to hurt.


Extra damage
------------
Missiles and blasters can damage objects in squares that are directly next 
to the target due to fragmentation damage. This effectively extends their 
range by one square.
