I really should step it up over in Brazil.
Lets kick this thread off right.
NAME EM LADS
Time for the tried and true too.
While we wait for names..
Cool, time to bash some more scorpions.
>>388761947
Spurdo
Savages...
Some day, these are going to just get OLD and boring, eventually I'll skip em but jesus christ.
And not even dark enough to impair vision. Neat.
One of them tried to hit the Clown. Clown's more robust than that!
>>388762348
What the hell are those things anyway?
I hate forests.
>>388762893
Gotta catch em all.
Into the dark I go.
Come on, I know you wanna.
And he did.
Upgrade Complete.
>>388763483
>negative points for recovering shit
What?
Huh. Black Lotus in that city eh?
>>388763673
I honestly don't know why.
>>388761812
Wellcum back commander
Ooo. Maybe I Can capture it.
>>388763776
I thought you said it was cellphones since they are civvy only
anyone play nuXcom? should i play longwar or not?
OR NOT.
It moved a lot faster than I expected.
>>388764089
MISSION FAIL WE GET THEM NEXT TIME
Fuck. I wanted it alive, but I made a mistake.
>>388763953
Probably or something that I just can't hold in stores since there's no UFOpaedia for it. I don't really know what item it is, I never check bodies of civies.
RIP Best Knight.
Promotions soon.
Another upgrade.
Right. Here we go.
>>388764501
NEDM?
Well, there's one.
Get Robusted
Oh, Red Dawn's in Europe? Thats new.
Um. Hmm.
I need Kevlar, Stat.
Is the gym a trap in some way? Never played any classic X-COM before trying this mod, can't find anything about it anywhere, and in game gives no information.
I know you're capped at 100 stat gain, wondering if the gym wastes them all on a useless stat, or something.
Name em folks, Please?

Tyrone
>>388765272
Its not so much a trap more as a way to bring Rookies and other unused soldiers up to a particular point so you can always have a good crew whenever you need em.
>>388765609
Thanks, guess I'll keep the gym full.
Especially in times where ya gotta go fast.
>>388765762
lel
>>388765762
m-moot?
>>388765762
I mean, I probably should be upset..
DAMMIT MOOOT
I need a different NV Color.
>>388765924
Who?
I think both of them are unarmed.
>>388766070
inb4 axe murder
Robusted motherfuckers.
Cool gains.
Fucking.. WHY?
Not today.
>>388766505
Because you need to train ACC, TU and Reactions
>Don't do Drugs.
>That I don't trust.
God dammit CMO, Get out of Chemistry.
Finally.
Thank god its not an entire village.
>>388766772
>Janitor Tyrone! How many times have I told you to not wear my labcoats or heat the wings with the microwave beam emitter!
Beetles
Double Barreled Shotgun is actually really good. You can do two autos and a Reload in a single turn.
Hoo boy.. A lot of them.. Again. Want updates?
WHY WOULD YOU RUN INTO THE LINE OF FIRE YOU S'WIT!?
>>388767442
Ike is... He's a little slow.
I keep forgetting to watch my flank.
This is the only issue with the Double Barreled Shotgun.
It eats through ammo and you can only carry so much.
I still don't know why bugs lose morale.
>>388767912
IT'S AFRAID
>>388768010
I can understand them bleeding out, but going berserk?
>>388767912
Easy. Ants and similar hive insects getting hurt causes a chemical agent to be released. This agent then agitates other nearby creatures of the same species.
>>388768163
Fair enough. I'm just not used to it happening on melee units.
GAINS. GET YOUR GAINS HERE.
>>388767912
They just ditch the concept of morale altogether.
https://pest.tips.net/T003477_Never_Step_On_or_Squash_an_Ant.html
We have money to spend.. and its only March. But I blame the UFO we captured.
>>388767912
But can they surrender?
>>388768469
No, they can't. Probably don't know the concept.
>>388768442
Save it for the lab
Third team?
Lets go blast some Exalt.
Oh, Hi.
Wasn't expecting that.
Ah well, No Bravery training.
>>388766691
>CMOs
>not in chem
The tree of chloral hydrate must flow commander, freedom aint free and those assistants that piggy backed into medbay arent dozing off and going down the trash chutes alone.
Demi-Fiend used a bead!
Demi-Fiend is back in action.
ALREADY?
Not as effective as the Magnum or the Shotgun, but.. maybe a decent sidearm.
Oh fuck.
Not dealing with that thing. NOPE.
Lets try this instead.
>>388769553
>not putting them under anesthesia and stealing their organs/limbs/blood
That.. sounded angry.
Oh its just a lone zombie.
>>388769905
Open xcom weapons tend to be schizophrenic since the mod makers just pile in a bunch of weapons mods from different sources. The AKSU for example seems to be the best assault rifle/SMG by a mile for a couple years. It doesn't help that he uses UFO extender accuracy but only bothers telling you the changed ranges for some of the weapons.
>>388770428
>not replacing every limb but the chest so that they are techbicaly human ans assimov borgs need to obey them
Catbeast head, lizard hands, vox legs, frog arms, biggest abomination possible, but goddamn, its worth it just to see the faces of the crew, god bless cargo being able to buy naera crates and shit.
I think someone was shot in the back during reaction fire.. MED BAY FOR YOU
Yep, Cuter Girl is wounded.
>>388770631
I have noticed that, yeah. I think at some point Scorch needs to sit down and go over every weapon.
>>388770672
Welp, you're racing up the tech tree at lightspeed.
>>388769905
Use it with shields
Finally.
Time to "Apprehend" The Red Dawn.
Of course they are in there.
>>388770779
I think part of the problem is that some weapons are locked behind promotions and reports, but other weapons of similar power can just be bought through cult arms dealers like how you can get the FAMAS for acquisition and purchase just by researching the SA 80 acquisition from I think exalt or red dawn.
Demi-fiend with the reaction up to the third floor.
Found the last nutcase.
Good shit.
>>388771259
That could be deliberate though. Getting the cult dealer and cult network research involves RNG but has better weapons than getting it through the legit and reliable black ops tech branch. It is strange though since you would think black ops weapons would be better than conventional weapons.
PANIC
I thought we were in 98, what happened?
>>388771864
We died
Do we know why scorch made bases and HQs so filled with enemies?
>>388771872
I assume we're letting the grunts do the dangerous work?
>>388771864
We died to reaction grenade launchers with FIRE.
FUCK THAT MISSION.
Also.. Huh. Beetles. Nothing to worry about here.
>>388771936
No clue, I'll ask him when he gets back.
>>388772003
Am I looking at this right, the "military op" is just two grunts faffing about?
>>388771872
H-Hayai!
Stun the military for their weapons.
>>388771936
He just likes swarms. A strange creature mission can have something like 50 units, which is ridiculous.
Might get a ton of military equipment anyways.
Oh shit, I think this guy's got an M60.
Demi-Fiend uses Dia
>>388772690
Commander, can you kill the soldiers? I mean, we all want to procure their equipment and not retaliate against us
Their tank fuckin shot my Van!
>>388772839
Now you have an excuse to robust them with flashlights.
Oh this should be easy.
Found their tank.
>>388773080
Quick! Start knocking out soldiers before all the bugs die.
Whoops. I may have "Accidently" Reactionfired killed the guy with the M80.
MINE.
>>388773365
Well, he wasn't using it anyway. Dude was just moving backwards and forwards like a retard, dancing with the bugs.
>>388773365
"Friendly" fire
>>388773365
They started it with "accidental" tank fire
Maaaaaaybe I should run from the Tank.. Thats not very friendly Auto fire.
>>388773668
Yeah, let's get out of the line of fire on that.
Get
>>388774006
A shame machineguns are useless.
>>388774214
Up to a point, sure, but HOLY FUCK its effective.
Holy fuck.
>>388774402
ABYSMAL
>>388774402
It'll even out by the end of the month, we'll be fine.
Gains.
>>388774402
Wow, that negative artifact score really screwed you over this time. Well, at least you have bazillion M-16s
The loot though.
Safe houses. Still no Kevlar yet.
Neat.
I think its time to end though. Getting a minor headache. I'll see you lot later.
>>388774747
Fuck off
>>388774747
Rest easy commander
Hold on, i think i missed a thread, what happened to all our aces ? Magnus, DSP ?
>>388776295
He had to restart because he lost every single unit other than DSP in a mission. His superhuman run was literally un-winnable.
>>388776507
Damn, thats disappointing
>>388776947
Yeah.
>>388764501
that's the fucking sprite from Doom 2
>>388777118
A very large amount was just ripped from wherever, it's a fun exercise to try and find all the "inspirations". There's even a bunch of Diablo 2 assets of all things.
