Bonecraft is to hard to play

[Starpilot]

Mission 3 on hard gave me fits on the last level. I was all geared up, and running my squad that ROLLED OVER all other hard levels. That was part of the problem.

What I found to work for me is this:
* skip the opening scene (hit return)
* use jet fuel constantly to run (sex bot can keep up if unobstructive)
* swap your squaddies down from top guys. Rifle, shotgun and flamers is the loadout for that map. (Don't forget to swap them out for your normal squad afterward)
* go 1-2-3-5-4.

Let the orcs have the grey ones.

Set your squad to defend you at the start, then set them to attack at the first statue.

When an orc goes to convert your green statues, jet fuel over, and shoot him with a rifle--- repeatily. Remember, you can keep shooting a target that the rifle has sent flying and do damage to it.

I did the mission with Rifle and Flamer load out. I also have done it with Rifle and Cannon. I have never managed to do it with the shotgun. Remember, rifle can fire THROUGH TREES and THROUGH THE GROUND. I ran the level guzzling jet fuel, running fast, and blasting the rifle whenever I wasn't running.

If you can't get the shaman away fast enough, set the squad to defend at that statue, then when they get there, set them to attack.

The key is speed--- don't give the orcs a chance to build up the swarm. RUN between statues. You might want to run to the next statue target as soon as sex bot starts converting a statue. Sometimes she will get caught and have sex though if you aren't close to her when she gets done at a statue and starts heading towards you.

Seriously, speed is the key. That map can eat hours otherwise, if you have the ammo.
