XCOM Long War (Follow the Leader Edition)
« on: August 21, 2014, 04:32:55 pm »

XCOM with the Long War mod, because I saw it on another thread, tried the mod, and liked it. :3

So!

Uh...I'm not quite sure how this is gonna go, really. Per most XCOM plays submit a...
Name, Nickname, and Your desire to live.
As well as a class preference (given that early game people are rookies without classes you probably won't get your desired class)
As well as a gender and nationality (which will probably be disregarded very, very quickly)

(In the Long War, air units can be claimed, but since I tend to get them killed really quickly...)

And, as a final note: Unlike most people who are all humble when they say they're not good at XCOM, I actually am not good at XCOM. The turnover rate is going to be pretty high. So give me plenty of named corpses to use.

Also gonna be playing it on Normal Classic since I want to have fun.


And as a first question: Where should the XCOM home base be?

Second question: Should we use Cinematic mode?
Cinematic mode gives us better accuracy, so we can competently fail instead of fail with incompetence.

Questions Answered, Game has started.

Casualty Tally:
Red Shirts: Lots
"Agents": 4

Oh, I'm not worried. Everyone's going to die (possibly to 11 hp Crysallids on the second mission, but who's counting?)

Alrighty...

Although I do need to play through the intro mission first.

So there's that. (I'll have it up by tomorrow)

EDIT~~

I'm not quite sure if I want to embed it to begin with, so...uh, yeah. It's a thing now.

(Yes I know it's qualitatively horrid)

((More importantly tell me if it doesn't work. I'm nervous as hell about...well, talking into a microphone))

I'm doing the next piece on friday.

In the event that people don't suggest upgrades, I'll just pick them out myself.

Fair?

The Wizard agrees. He has a preference for anything flashy though.
