![]() On normal and hard difficulties the odds are against and you often have to cheese it to win. Just one, two stage mission and it’s the destruction of Vek hive. Also lots of tiles with acid on it, units covered in acid take 2x damage and sometimes a perfect position to deal with a Vek is right on top of acid tile… At first may seem like an island where odds are stacked against you slightly, but it’s pretty balanced, just requires some more patience and planning. And because of that Vek might position themselves in a way that requires you to use them to get the best result. Somewhat balanced, has unique tiles like teleporters or conveyor belts. If there’s water it’s frozen (duh) but you can break the ice to have option for insta killing Vek.ĭetritus Disposal – Waste Island, trash, toxic industrial environment. Sometimes you need to protect said robots to get more reputation, even if the robots attack you or do something that makes it harder for both sides to move. And you often get a missions that involve robots. Somewhat more fair island, there’s one mission where you get insta-killing terraformer, but others have environmental effects where both sides are affected. Corporation – Desert like island with lots of tiles covered in sand and when hit they create a smoke, smoke cancels attacks of any unit standing on it. There’s a lot of missions where you have an advantage, like old Earth MLR’s or air support. First island you have access to and the easiest. It’s also a sort of museum of Human civilization, before the oceans swallowed most of land. – Earth like island, with forests and lots of green. The islands and their respective corporations are:Īrchive Inc. When you unlock 2nd island it’s up to you which islands you want to clear and in what order. Secure it once, you get access to RST island, secure RST once and get access to Pinnacle Robotics and secure PR to get Detritus. When you play for the first time, you only have access to island owned by “Archive Inc.” corporation. There are 4 islands, each with different environments and unique missions and the final island “The Last Stand” that you can access after clearing at least 2 islands. If you can’t contain the Vek numbers though, you will quickly find yourself in situation where the best you can do is minimize the damage. Usually 3 of them will focus on building, the last one on your unit, so in this scenario you simply move the unit that’s targeted and focus on killing or pushing units that are targeting the buildings. However to get the AI to setup in such a way, you need to have 4 or less Vek units on the map. Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes you need to carefully plan your steps to execute a good turn. You usually have plenty of options and I don’t know if I’m making this up, but the AI almost always sets their units in a way that there’s a solution where you can take no damage, if you can find it. You can kill the Vek if you have enough firepower or if the type of enemy is squishy, you can move them to redirect the attack or attack each other, cancel their attacks with smoke, push them to death (they can’t swim, for example :P). Your next turn is to figure out the best counter. When Vek are done, you know exactly who or what they’re going to attack, how much damage their attack will do and if it will leave a mark on one of the tiles (like setting nearby forest on fire or covering a tile in pool of acid). After you place your units on the map, Vek make their move, setting up attacks on your units or the civilian buildings that you must protect. ITB is a turn based game where we have a squad consisting of 3 mechs fighting giant bugs called Vek. I’ve been working again for the last 3 weeks and I think I should have enough to pay my parents back in a month so things are going to be fine. As of writing this my shoulder is mostly fine, I can’t go to gym for a month and have to avoid some moves, but I’m fine. This is the reason why I played the games you see below because those were the only one I wanted to play AND that could be played with one hand. And the next next day something really stupid happened… I dislocated my shoulder :| I couldn’t work for a month and games I could play shrunk to few dozen. I don’t think my recently bought CPU will be a bottleneck. I’m pretty happy with it overall but when 4xxx series will come out I think I’m going to sell it and buy a 4080 or 4070. The next day my good old 660Ti died when I was about to install windows on my new PC… I had to borrow some money from my parents to buy a new GPU and went for Gigabyte 3060Ti.
