Actually put the game on easy mode.

I was losing cats left and right to the point where I had no resources to recruit new troops, and all my other troops save for one or two had died.

The difficulty level is definitely higher this time around. Getting mind controlled by sectoids happens way too early and often in the game. Soldiers get panicked at the drop of a hat and screw your battle plan into a cocked hat.

I put the joint on easy so I can map out how I can develop my base, research projects and soldier upgrades in the future. It's not too bad, but yeah, it's like shoot four enemies and the board is clear. It's almost preschoolish.

I can't do it for too long, but I have seen what I can develop in terms of advanced ammo and armor and upgrades for the ship. I'll do this for another couple of days then go back to normal level.
