Let's Play X-COM: UFO Defense part 4 on PC with the extender mod and Superhuman Difficulty.

Part 4 focuses on a terror mission in Moscow full of reapers and floaters which turns out to be more than what my squad can handle. See the carnage and the loss of a Skyranger!

The game begins on January 1, 1999, with the player choosing a location for their first base on the Geoscape screen: a global view representation of Earth as seen from space (displaying X-COM bases and aircraft, detected UFOs, alien bases, and sites of alien activity). The player can view the X-COM bases and make changes to them, equip fighter aircraft, order supplies and personnel (soldiers, scientists and engineers), direct research efforts, schedule manufacturing of advanced equipment, sell alien artifacts to raise money, and deploy X-COM aircraft to either patrol designated locations, intercept UFOs, or send X-COM ground troops on missions using transport aircraft.

Funding is provided by the 16 founding nations of X-COM. At the end of each month, a funding report is provided, where nations can choose to increase or decrease their level of funding based on their perceived progress of the X-COM project. Any of these nations may quit, if the nation's government has been infiltrated by the invaders. Through reverse engineering of recovered alien artifacts, X-COM is able to develop better technology to combat the alien menace, and eventually uncover how to defeat it.

As the game progresses, the player learns more and more about the enemy, their species, mutated creations and technology. It is ultimately revealed that the aliens are led by creatures of immense mental power called Ethereals, and that their main base in the Solar System is located on Mars, in a region known as Cydonia. Then, the player must prepare the final assault team, attack Cydonia and destroy the mastermind behind the alien invasion, the biocomputer Alien Brain.
