Bay 12 Games Forum

Quick questions:
- Can we perform actions personally, or is that left only to minions? If so, are there restrictions to which?
- Would you like us to copy our character spoilers into our posts, and amend them for the turn's expenditure?



Edit: Vrax taken off of plot action; fluff added.

This sounds fun. Is it intended to be a suggestion game or multiplayer? In either case, here's my submission:

Edit: Trait ideas added, adjusted resource values calculated. Some wording changes and fixed typos.

PTW. I may sign up later.

Am I correct in thinking there's space for another gang? Of course, if that'd be more work than it's worth I'll join one of the existing two, if they're recruiting.



Edit (02 AUG): Symbol added, some gang Words changed (Magic, Ectoplasm, Aerogel), two stats swapped (Strength / Vitality).

Sounds fun; I couldn't resist putting up another sheet:
1A
2A
3:

Numbers: 3 - heavy casualties and the removal of loyalists have taken quite a toll.
Quality: 6 - a cadre of (mostly) experienced soldiers.
Reputation: 2 - deserters tend to be considered poorly by the locals.
Morale: 2 - heavy losses and the desertion have hammered the unit's previously exceptional confidence.
Wealth: 3 - although lacking in liquid cash and luxuries, the unit still possess a decent amount of supplies.
Tech: 5 - although not exactly cutting-edge, the unit's equipment is some of the best their former masters could deploy in large numbers.
 Gear style: primarily equipped with good-quality ballistic weapons, although support and vehicle weapons show more variety - with some lasers, missiles and railguns making an appearance, among others.
Vehicles: 6 - the company's vehicle pool, although reduced, is still sufficient for combat.
 Vehicle style: the majority of the company's soldiers are mounted in wheeled APCs, with jeep-equivalents for some scout elements. A handful of ground-effect battletanks provide the core of the unit's heavy firepower.
Maintenance: 5 - the unit's support and logistics elements have remained largely intact.

PTW.

This ended up quite long so sorry about that. Re-reading the battle report I think most of the X-Com soldiers survived their Skyrangers crashing; it mentions that we quickly overwhelmed the squad that landed safely and were then beaten back by the others. It may well be that the power armour helped protect some of them on landing.

For night missions - remember X-Com have already deployed new sensors which are probably designed to detect skin crawlers and most likely will work at night as well. On the other hand, our sectoids would be unhindered and night vision for our other forces should be fairly easy (several revisions rolled into a design?). Plus those sensors probably have an EP cost.

The problem with oyr psionics if I remember correctly is that they lack range; more powers won't help here. We may be able to revise a Sectoid with a greater capacity for the gift using our token though, which may help alleviate this.

Infantry armour would be nice if we can get it for free; we'd need more EP to make full use of it otherwise. Remember that our aircraft will lose against Talons without AAA missiles and out ground will lose to power armour with no rifles; both require EP.
