This was one hell of a pain for me. Hard to start with, it was a matter of luck not to start in arachno caves / near Mancubi packs / on arena. Once I managed to clear one Caco cave, only to stumble into another cave. Ehh...
I figured out that 100% kill rate makes it much more harder than usual rushes that people prefer for AoCn or AoOC.
Ammo was constant problem, as the best starting weapon (good, trusty
Shotgun) was eating shells like mad. Levels without former sergeants were
dooming me to use useless chaingun...
I was playing with builds: MAc and Shottyhead. At first I had less successes with Marines, but later I failed with few perfectly good Scouts. It was either classic R&V combo, or the new City of Skulls that got me.
Finally few problems with ammo (which led to a death of few really good chars) made me switch back to Marines.
I learned my lesson and finally developed good tactics for killing Agony Elemental with ammochain guy (it is not that trivial to kill bastard without destroying skulls and not dying). Apparently, basic shotgun is not that bad =) .
Only problem I had later was one level when two invisible mancubi blasted walls and me behind. Viles followed with them and I had to make a perfect use of homing device.
Killing
Cybie by overloading Nuclear Plasma is not killing him without taking damage, game says. Am I the only person that is getting annoyed with the bugs / illogical features? >.>
Oh, and I learned that
nightmare monsters can appear on UV normal (non 100-levels one) game. I did not know that. Feature?
