Cult of Sirius: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 08:14, 22 November 2023

This bizarre cult has whipped up a religious frenzy following the appearance of the Dimension Gates. The cult has long believed in redemption of the human race by a superior Alien race. They believe the UFOs and Aliens to be harmless and are rapidly gaining credibility and recruits from the general population. This represents a considerable threat to X-COM because the cultists will do anything to assist the Aliens in their purpose, whatever that might be.  From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia

-* Quickly and repeatedly raiding the Cult Temples at the beginning of the game can yield massive cash income, Agent experience, and tactical points for X-COM's weekly evaluation. And X-COM needs only to fear retribution from the Cult itself,) for such actions.However, the Cult CANNOT retaliate until its balance is positive, and repeated raids will make the cult financially in so much debt they can't do anything for months. Thus, large scale, senseless destruction in later weeks, once per week, can keep the cult entirely emasculated.
-* However, raiding the cultists can leave all your agents either very dead or very injured. Just remember that you are using basic weaponry at the start of the game, and cultists are using [[Marsec]] [[Marsec Heavy Launcher|Heavy Launcher]]s, [[Megapol]] [[Megapol Plasma Gun|Plasma Gun]]s, [[Marsec Minilauncher|MiniLaunchers]], and [[Marsec Proximity Mine|Proximity Mine]]s (as general explosives). The upside to that is that it is possible to obtain those weapons early by raiding the cult.
