Hi all , i was just thinking to create a thread where i will place my camp progresses and ask suggestions or ( maybe) i can help .
Let's start : Easy Difficult ( but just because i didn' t played the original ) , no Ironman ( obliusly) .
After the tutorial mission , i have the first choose for what zone to clear from aliens : because the reward for completing the mission in the Usa are engeniires , i do that : nothing special , 4 sectodis killed in the classical way , one killed by "mind fry" ( when a sectoid lose the connection to the mind merger ) .
After that i do my first error : i belived that the medikits were consumed after a use , and i must produce it again in the base , but it was not : 30 credits lost .
I get the first mission for the Council : Escort the VIP , i came in the zone , i figth a lone sectoid then.. thin men ! Just wow , basically are snipers ! They weren' t much a problem for my Sniper and my two Assault , but a rookie was killed in a car explosion , caused by a luck shot of a thin man .
I get some panic reduction and i go back to base , and when i came on Panic screen I paniced ! Like 4 Countries were going wild , because Chine was about to exit from Council , i satted it , but i forget to make an interceptor , so i lost an UFO .
Going to Geoscape , when the abduction mission starts , i see that Uk is near to leave , so i send in my soldiers , and there are starting the problems with Panic of soldiers: i don' t get when happens out of Intimidation of Mutons and mind-control , but still is a big problem , that big to making me see a normal floater killing off a rookie who has paniced and didn' t got far away or killed he enemy ( i notice that paniced soldiers generally have a perfect aim xD ) ; luckily there i capture a floater and a thin man , so wasn' t totally a waste , and , more of that , my research about laser weapons is over : now i have a decent weapon ! I start immediately the research for Carapace Armour so my soldiers will have more possibilities to be Critically Wounded or just wounded but still operative .
Because i feel that something big is approaching , i see a must the Nano t-shirt , as i call ( i don' t know the english name :( , still , is the item that give +3 HP ) , and i am not wrong : the mutons and crysalyds are approaching , and it won' t be easy...
First muton mission : an abduction mission labeled as"Hard" in Russia , well , what to say , my squad of rookies with his new toys were all killed , and Russia left the Council : at that point i simply reload and see the new park of missions , and men , when you launch a rocket to a muton and didn' t killed he , you are starting to swear so lout that the nearest church will collapse , still , i manage to finish it with :
A heavliy wounded heavy WITHOUT carapace armour and laser weapons .
A uber-super-mega sniper with all new weapons , yes , even a plasma pistol and a laser precision rifle
2 rookies who had carapace and nano t-shirt .
My helps for you :
Don' t stay too far from a non-bersek muton : the most of the times will get you without chanches .
Try to take a composite cover : the muton will take turn and turns to destry it , while you will have all the time to deal with he

Finally , after weeks and weeks , a country is only a bit nervous , not near-anarchy !

Arrived in June , after stopping abductions in Australia and so making it happier , the Russia leaves the Council , but at that point i don' t reload : in fact , i managed to cover with satellities the South America ( and so having big bucks ) and the most terrified country is Usa , who will be soon covered .
Now prepare , it will be strange : a UFO lands on China , i came in the zone , and i see a cyberdisc and some drones : he killed off a person , but it was stopped by a stolen plasma rifle and some tricks with skeleton armour , but when icame in the inner UFO i see some sectoids ( 2-3 ) who werei n open zone and didn,' t took cover ,i said "Easy Job" when... a sectoid kill with one hit an half-life assault ( 10 were his hp ) on cover ! And makes heviely wonded a sniper , and , let me say , i did more simplier encounters with cyberdiscs and mutons berserk

Please , suggestions and questions
