 General Tips

Cheating Sucks, Don't do it!  That having been said, it can be a lot of fun to stun a base full of aliens with only two soldiers! I suggest that you win the game without cheating first.

The most significant attributes to modify are Time Units and Firing Accuracy.

If Strength is above 150 the game won't let you throw grenades.

Bravery seems to perform badly above 80.

Good armor can also be useful for everybody.

If you are interested in stats, don't change them!

Most of all, have fun!  Remember:  there is no fun without challenge!

Thank you for using X-Com Editor
