The most common way for this to bug is when a door is destroyed, making the doorway unusable for some mystical reason, often trapping your squad somewhere.

Fifty years after the disaster. Fifty years after the surface of Earth became uninhabitable. Retreating to the flying haven of the Laputa the remnants of humankind clung onto existence. Then a revolt against the increasingly rigid and corrupt human leadership of the Laputa escalated into a conflict that destroyed the colony. Now, the remaining survivors flee once again. Can they reclaim the Earth from the unknown forces that chased them into the skies? UFO: Aftershock is a combination of tactical squad combat and global strategy that enhances and expands upon its prequel, [[gameid:155168 UFO: Aftermath]]. Key features: Intertwining global strategy and small scale tactical missions * Sequel to the successful UFO: Aftermath * Strategic resource and base management * Enhanced SAS (Simultaneous Action System) and RPG system in tactical play * Fight your way through multi-level buildings, inside and out * New amazing items and technologies to research and develop * Radical new training and experience system * New terrifying enemies and powerful allies * Added diplomacy element * New gripping storyline * Interactive destructible environment [Cenega]***After the alien invasion, the Council of Earth successfully fought the Reticulans and moreover discovered their secret plan: to cover the Earth with "Biomass", a network of alien organic tissue that, the Reticulans hoped, would become conscious and endowed with immense psychic powers. The Reticulans who invaded the Earth are not true representatives of their kind, they are a breakaway faction that burned the bridges and chose this backwater part of space to conduct its experiments. The Reticulans would construct a large satellite (several kilometres across) with a closed ecosystem and move the remnants of human population there. The experiment with the Biomass would go on on the surface. Then something went horribly wrong...

Harvest: Massive Encounter	Oxeye Game Studio	2008	Harvest: Massive Encounter is an award-winning arcade real-time strategy game for Mac OS X and Windows with battles of epic proportions and a unique style of resource management and exploration. In this 2D fantasy you take on the role as the base commander of a space colony far, far away, and must use five building types in a creative way to efficiently expand and defend it. Build power plants, mineral harvesters and defense towers and make sure they have sufficient energy to fend off endless hordes of evil aliens. The game offers a vast array of possible strategies with these simple rules, and will compel you to try new and better base designs every time.**[b]Worlds:[/b] Haphaestus ... Unique aliens: Teleporter, Flea ... Conditions: normal * Poseidon ... Unique aliens: Monocle ... Conditions: strong winds throw aliens around; wind direction and areas where they work are largely static * Ares ... Unique aliens: Energy Sapper ... Conditions: massive holes in the terrain limit building and alien invasion possibilities [b]Tips:[/b] * Laser tower links grant immediate range bonus, but the damage bonus takes half a second or so to bring up each link online. Damage tolerance for most aliens caps at around 8500%, so linking more towers (after the first or second link) for damage is no longer efficient (range bonus is still useful, though), build another linked tower network instead. * You will never defend your base with a single massive linked laser, no matter how it covers the whole map (caused by limited rotation speed). * Each linked tower grants 50% damage boost and 13% range boost. * Unlinked towers are still useful on the front lines, especially against Gehenna shuttles. * Overcharging an energy link costs you only 2 resources and easily destroys over 20 aliens. Especially useful when your defences are about to be overrun. Redirect energy output to the overcharged link. However, overusing this can deprive your regular base defences of energy to operate, so don't abuse it! * Tweak those attack priorities!***All but the Wave game mode lack ending, all others endlessly increase difficulty and the number of aliens that appear with each wave until your defences are finally overpowered. The goal is to survive as many waves as possible for as long as possible. Made difficult by the need to expand your base to gather more resources, though made slightly easier by linking the laser towers for increased damage and range, so they never really lose their usefulness.
Creeper World	Knuckle Cracker	2009	Better described as tower offence than tower defence. A bit like a cross between Perimeter (2) and Harvest: Massive Encounter. Essentially you're fighting against an infinite flood of goo with guns (lasers, mortars and such) rather than building barriers with the sole aim of connecting "totems" (usually submerged in the "creep" by the time you reach them) to open a warp portal to the next world. Occasionally there's side objectives.***[media=youtube]IP7atGyLCLw[/media]
A Kingdom for Keflings	NinjaBee	2010
Star Ruler	Blind Mind Studios	2010	Note that although the game avoids [url=/groups/info/flatspace]flat space[/url], it does not actually [url=/groups/info/3dstrategy]take benefit[/url] from this in any manner as everything is on the galactic plane, including planet orbits, unless you move them off it manually. You CAN move spacecraft and even planets (with proper technology) up and down and such from it, but it has no notable gameplay effect other than giving more rooms for large number of spacecraft to come into range of something simultaneously (any formation that forms a wall), and it makes escort formation much more impressive even if not much more efficient.**Take command of a vast interstellar empire and safeguard your species from total extinction in a procedurally generated 3D galaxy (with the option to flatten it) from 1 System to 10,000+! Prove your species' ingenuity through a deep and intricate combat system where anything (from individual components on ships to the stars themselves) is a target of opportunity. Twist other Empires into submitting to your galaxy-class wit with diplomacy and wheel-and-deal your way to supremacy. Research new kinds of weapons, engines, shields, and more, all of which retain their unique benefits as the game progresses, with a research web whose contents are shuffled every game at your option. Exploit interstellar phenomena such as asteroid belts and stars and exploit them for yourself or destroy them to deny your foes. Create and destroy new worlds through advanced technological research. Match your strategy against up to 10 other opponents (online or LAN-linked). Save the game when dawn breaks and boot it back up at dusk. It isn't over until you say it is! Drop in and drop out at any point; disconnecting players will not disrupt the game! Your weapons, your ships, your rules: Almost the entire game can be modified through Notepad! Easily add new models and particle effects to the game with "out-of-the-box" developer tools. Create new weapons in seconds; create new AIs through scripts! The Galaxy is yours! A Masterpiece in Progress: As time wears on, new gameplay features, art, and GUI improvements will be added into the game through patches as time and money allows. Race Creation; Non-Player Factions; Terraforming; more Ship Sets; Deeper Diplomacy; Deep Planetary Invasion; these features and much, much more to come!
