ADVENT did nothing right

pistols are useful

Bureau rips WHEN?

So one of those purple portal things appear'd and my guy yelled "they're bringing in reinforcements"

I figured it was that fucking snake king I faced earlier that escaped, but it was just a squad of advent soldiers

Is them appearing via portal a thing? Or is that something my mods are adding

>>154400790
That's a mod.

>>154400890
I figured, scared the piss out of me. I really don't want to fucking fight that shitter again until I get some kind of DoT

>>154400790
advent will mostly use the drop ship for reinforcements
the purple orb is meant for alien reinforcements
the only time i have seen advents unit using the purple orb was when it contained an advent psi officer from ABA

For shame Commander. I didn't realize you were such a prude.

>>154401626
But I brought best sneks onboard my Avenger.

Best snek is ded snek.

At least it teleported where you can see it. I've had a muton teleport all the way back to my sniper and out of sight. Popped out and killed him the next turn since I didn't realize what had happened.

August 20th. The aliens have made another rapid deployment push across the world, and XCOM's roster of field operatives is once again pushed to the limits of fatigue. Just as the Commander starts to breathe easy, the North American satellite network simultaneously picks up two UFOs, a Scout and Raider class, vectoring for rapid landings in Canada and the US.

Blue team will be fully ready to deploy soon, but in the meantime the Commander has to draft a team from whoever's available to tackle the alien ambush waiting at the landed Scout class. Capt. Jenkins of White team and four of her squadmates are ready to deploy, they will be augmented by Sgt. Redmond of Gold team and two inexperienced blueshirts from HQ.

Big Sky manages to find just enough clearance to drop off the mixed squad near a densely forested little hill. Immediately upon stepping out of the LZ, the squad realizes that the Commander has sent them to the wrong AO. Next to the Raider-class UFO, a cyberdisc and its robotic cohorts wait, while Sgt. Stackhouse picks up five more contacts on the motion tracker.

The squad collapses inward and moves to engage the unknown enemies on the hill beyond the Meld canister. As they move, the ominous hums of the cyberdisc can be heard, as well as the roars of mutons and a heavy, mechanical stomping the operatives have never heard before.

As the squad moves up, Stackhouse signals for a halt as three enormous, armored mutons come charging over the hill, while two of the grunts take position behind them. Cpl. Hamilton hurls a chem grenade into their path, slowing them down while Jenkins shouts orders.

Geez, what a horrible mission. I didn't expect there to be a heavy floaters pod AND a 2 disk pod behind those muton elites, so I had to fight the whole map.

Then the disks popped out from the alley, one of them reduced my assault to one HP, so that was fun... fortunately most enemies were keen on missing my shiv. I had to defuse the bomb during the battle.

I miss heavy floaters only council missions

>>154406082
That's a big disc.

I'd really love a game that's just purely (deeper) base management with you selecting soldiers to send on missions based on traits + equipment. Like a footballmanager-lite with aliums. Are there any games similar to this? I've been looking at This War of Mine but it looks like it has some kind of deeper message about human morality bullshit. How's Rimworld?

The forest explodes into laser fire as the squad focuses their fire to annihilate the armored mutons. A heavily wounded berserker survives the barrage. In response, the mutons fire back and lob a plasma grenade at Stackhouse, blowing up the log blocking the berserker's path. If the berserker wasn't sitting at 1hp, Stackhouse would be dead, but the synthesized poison paralyzes the weakened muton. Redmond and Stackhouse pick off the remaining grunts while Cpl. Hamilton walks up to the helpless beast, lamenting the fact that he didn't bring an arc thrower.

The disc and its robotic cohorts are just over the ridge. The team is as ready as it'll ever be to engage, and with a war cry the squad launches its ambush.

The ambush doesn't go so well. The disc breaks line of sight, closing its shell and hiding its profile behind a tree. The squad kills two drones, but the seeker cloaks and the cyberdisc rises high above and uses its plasma grenade to bomb Stackhouse, Maslov and Jenkins. If Redmond hadn't damaged the disc in the initial exchange of fire, the surviving drone might have killed him on the spot.

The shooting continues back and forth for nearly half a minute. Spec. Tina Avery has the armor piercing rounds, but the squad can't trust the blueshirt's marksmanship, so she suppresses the disc while the squad peels apart the disc's heavy armor slowly but surely, and eventually it goes down. Jenkins keeps an eye on the UFO for enemies joining the fight, but nothing emerges. The aliens seem determined to concentrate their forces within.

The Stalker uncloaks next to sniper Redmond, who's been providing overwatch and taking shots at the disc from afar. He's completely isolated and his rifle is empty, and instead of being ensnared in the robot's tentacles, he gets hit at point blank with a plasma blast to the chestplate. Stackhouse dashes across the dry riverbed toward the sniper, firing haphazardly as he goes.

The squad loads its weapons and Sgt. Boyd makes a troubling report as he heals Capt. Jenkins' plasma burns. The team is completely out of medikits now. They aren't quite in position to recon the rest of the UFO's perimeter when three mutons suddenly open the door. One roars and pounds its chest with a closed fist, charging straight into reaction fire and skidding across the forest floor.

These mutons are more in line with the grunts XCOM usually encounters, and the team has no trouble putting them down before they can get to cover and properly assess their situation. Before Maslov can continue to scout the remainder of the UFO's perimeter, Capt. Jenkins continues forward, shouting that she and Boyd have a clear entrance. The squad can either enter the UFO and begin fighting their way through, or back up and regroup before taking position on Redmond's hill and checking the UFO's port side.

Jenkins insists that this is still the safest way to proceed, and the team stacks up to breach. Before they can enter, they have a rogue sectoid to deal with.

Boyd, Maslov and Stackhouse move around to cover the outside of the UFO while Avery and Jenkins take down the sectoid. But the damage is done; that little alien has stalled the team enough for the enemy mech to join the fight. Not only is this the first of these units we've seen, there's something different about those two sectoids there, too...

As Maslov charges into the UFO, ready to duck any plasma he sees coming his way, he gets a lot more than he bargained for. The enemy mech's plasma cannon unleashes a barrage of the stuff that obliterates the wall the squad is stacked up behind. Jenkins charges forward, only to nearly bite it as a muton hiding in the engine room fires at her. Stackhouse is forced to sprint into the engine room and blast it, committing us to a very close range fight with these new alien contacts.

Avery charges in next, taking hard cover and blasting the mech pilot at close range to keep him suppressed. Jenkins looks the new sectoid in the eyes and doesn't wait to blast it in the chest, but it merely takes the blast and scampers away. Hamilton charges across the central chamber and presses against the exterior hull to prep a chem grenade, but two outsiders spot him moving and join the battle. The mech pilot blind fires his cannons, tearing more of the UFO's hull out, and activates some sort of energy shield.

Stackhouse and Trujillo check the motion tracker and begin moving through the central chamber of the Raider for a flanking maneuver, certain that all hostiles are now being engaged. Boyd steps across the exterior and executes one of the red sectoids with ease. The other has fallen back behind the outsider, and the two combine a psionic attack and suppressing fire to prevent Hamilton from throwing his chem grenade. Redmond lines up his shot to free Hamilton, but it's doubtful he can properly throw his grenade while the effects of the mindfray persist.

The remaining red sectoid and mech pilot are both poisoned, and fail spectacularly to do harm to any operatives. Boyd notices a trail of psionic energy linked to the pilot's brain, and charges after the other end. Receiving the location, Redmond spots his target. This mission is in the bag.

Stackhouse, eager to flank and destroy the enemy, charges in without checking the motion tracker and finds himself not only next to the sectoid, but dangerously an outsider he literally forgot about. He almost fails to kill it, but double taps as he notices the outsider get up and move to flank him.

I have an x-com superhuman campaign on hold and am currently trying to get through a normal Long War campaign.
After that I plan to finish an X2 Legenedary Ironman and then move back to X1 EW Ironman Impossible. If I ever make through all that I'll finish an Apocalypse ironman and maybe even force myself to play TFTD.

i think the X2 terror missions are a vast improvement over X1/LW but in both cases unless you get the perfect start you're going to incur civilian casualties no matter what. obviously this has larger repercussions in X1/LW which makes them even more of a pain. i'll go as far to say i even like the X2 missions simply because there's an actual win condition you can achieve.

One of the four Elders saying come and see and I saw
And behold a white snek

The Speaker's going around taking names
And he decides who to free and who to blame
Humanity won't be treated all the same
There'll be a golden Archon reaching down

Will you partake of that genetic altered shcmuck?

Till Avenger defense no shalam, no shalom
Then the commander will call his rookies home
The councilman will bow down before the throne
And in defeat humanity will be glassed
When the Speaker comes around

Advent are unjust let them be unjust still
XCOM is righteous let him be righteous still
Xenos are filthy let them be filthy still
Listen to Commander's word long written down
When the Speaker comes around

Hear the troopers, hear the vipers
One hundred million ayys singing

Some rank up and some are dying

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four Elders
And I looked and behold, /xcg/
And his name that followed him were snekposters
And shitposting followed with him.

Original chryssalid always kills the target if they hit. Without fail every-time. Unless it's mechanical. Then it takes like 3 to 6 hits which is only like half its TUs. They also had very good effective health, being able to survive multiple laser rifle shots. Not really a contest.

Made one of these armors. Appreciable subtlety. The psi-sense makes clearing buildings, mansions, and bases a breeze, plus I don't need to worry about ethereals or catgirls sneaking up on me. Unfortunately, it can't wield any weapons besides its innate magical powers.

>>154447017
I agree somewhat, but they don't appear early enough to be a serious threat, though the potential wound times is still annoying. I want to see a standard campaign with the only change being lids who up in the first terror mission like X1. Would be horrifying. Also it would be bs.

>>154459985
People do weird things to keep a relationship steady. Maybe his personal views are different, and he's just saying it to keep her happy. Maybe both of their views align, and because of the extra reinforcement he feels more confident talking about it more often.

Either way it is definitely annoying. Keep your politics to yourself, especially if they're going to be so radically biased.

>>154459985
I think you're underestimating how much non-Americans are amazed at the Trump phenomena.

So the plan is that this rookie with the shotgun peeks out from that corner every turn to provide sight on anything that comes down the passage. While the two at the back fire rockets down the line. There's another team set up down the other way too. The rookie on the stairs meanwhile is being a packmule to provide new more rockets to the fire team.

I really hope this isn't a psi race though because oh boy am I fucked with 4 rookies with rockets.

>>154484653

>>154497304
Honestly this is what makes the score system (and strategic/tactical game) for og x-com great. Operations are rated purely on what happens with a point system that is no bs. Show up to a crashed landing, shoot some ayys and then leave? That's a positive score, good mission. Go to a terror mission and lose 90% of the civies? Too bad ayys, you only took two casualties and absolutely kicked all 40 of their collective asses so good job commander. Go on a base raid and capture all the aliens while losing 10 men? Excellent work commander, your a step closer to defeating the alien invasion.
You even get positive score for completing research.
As long as your killing ayys and stealing their stuff then you are winning the war.

>>154497785
There are always more rookies.

>>154496019
They come thick and fast on superhuman FMP. I've had to face 3 so far and I've just hit Jan 2000 while still being at laser/gauss tier. Plasma/railguns are a long way off and psi is even further so I'm expecting plenty more although they'll be getting easier now my tech has improved.

Explain this

I tried to psi panic a muton with a 98% chance, but the next turn he ran up and flanked my soldier as if nothing happened
>it failed
you try to say, however, the muton is now clearly panicking. It wasn't a panicked action like a hunker down, it was on a regular ayy turn. Unless the sectoid commander can remove panic, which I doubt

I suspect the purple psi ball where he was originally has something to do with it

I haven't played Xcom 2 since before any of the DLC came out. How are they?

Is the Long War alien pack good? Back like a year ago I had a few mods that added more enemies, I'd imagine this has a bit of overlap? What are some good mods that add more enemies without having too much overlap with the Long War pack?

How are the long war perk and leader packs? I never played with those on.

Thinking of doing more voice mods for XCOM 2

I'll call it the Historical Games voice pack unless someone has a better idea

>Stuff to get from AoE2:

Teutons and Gothics, maybe old Persian. Koreans, Mongols, and whatever language XCOM 2 doesn't have I'll probably toss in there

>Stuff to get from AoE3:

Mohawk, Aztec, other Native American languages

Manchu

Probably a shitload of stuff since the mercs have pretty diverse languages and voices

>Empire Total War
Swedish, Czech, Pashto(?), Polish, European Portuguese (I'll separate it from a Brazilian Portuguese mod I have planned), Hindi, Turkish (might wait for Battlememe 1)

>Europa Barbarorum
Because who doesn't want their XCOM troops speaking historically autistic Latin, Classical Greek, Celtic, Semitic, and Indo-Iranian?

>How are they?
Anarchy's Children is very hit or miss and a lot of people really didn't like it, i would recommend search around for pics and see for yourself how you like it before buying

Alien Hunters its a difficulty dlc, i personally like it but i have a few issues with it like how after you kill all 3 of them there is nothing else and with the extra hunter weapons and armor it might make the end game more easier, the actual encounter with the rulers you either kick their ass or you get fucked by them there is not much middle ground but at the same time you could same the same of a lot of missions in vanilla X2.
if you think vanilla X2 its too easy and want something else to spice up your campaign i would say to give it a try

Shens Last Gift is in my opinion weaker than AH, it only adds robot soldiers and a very great and magnificent story mission, the sparks feel very under powered however and i dont feel like they live up to their potential, thank fully there are already mods that buffs them and adds more upgrades to them. if you have some extra money and want to do the story mission yourself give it a go, if not wait for a sale

>>154506253
I want to answer your questions, but honestly I haven't been able to play X2 much recently, and I know there are people here who could answer your question much better, but I don't know where they are. So I guess I'll give it a shot.

> Xcom 2 since before any of the DLC came out. How are they
Anarchy's children is just a cosmetic pack. Some people don't like it. Some people like someone of the stuff in it. It's certainly nothing fantastic imo, but I really like alot of the helmets/face props it has.
Alien rulers DLC adds Magnificent Boss units to mess you up. They are purposefully designed bs, but beatable. I would say they are good for spicing you campaigns up if you want something new and provide a different challenge to overcome. However, the items added unbalance X2 more in your favor whenever you aren't fighting the rulers.

Shen's Last Gift has a very good mission. It is only one mission, but it is quite long with multiple stages, new mechanics, new enemies, and the voiced enemy AI is definitely fun. Sparks have potential, but right now they are simply too weak for Legendary campaigns and modded campaigns. Defintely need buffs. There are already some good mods too buff them.

>Long War stuff
Long War ayys are pretty good. The LW perk pack is fun, though you definitely need to craft a campaign that will challenge your really strong soldiers.

Also the modding workshop has tons of stuff now you are going to want to look into. The OP has an up to date steam collection of mods that have been tested/used by /xcg/ and are considered good. Check those out.

I personally adore the T3 weapons, but I have a hardon for swooshy-looking energy weapons. The only thing I don't like is the energy build-up before they're fired, makes it look like there'd be crazy bad trigger delay.

Now, the T3 armor is another story entirely. Skintight pajama armors have never been my thing. The design would have been perfectly palatable, however, if they'd just put tactical vests or rigging or something over the actual armor.

Are there any mods that make the aliens more aggressive on the Strategic layer? Retaliation missions are easy as piss, so it never really feels like they're seriously attacking your resistance network, and the only Dark Events that matter are ones which add to the Avatar Project. Even the Avenger defense mission is no trouble if you can cheese the EMP spike with sharpshooters. I want to feel like the aliens are actually doing more to stop me, and have to deal with setbacks and complications that aren't just tied to soldiers dying.

I'll take that as a no, then. It's a shame, just something similar to the tricks EXALT would pull on you every so often would help keep the strategic layer of the game a lot more interesting. Random events every few weeks where you lose some money, a research project gets set back, an alien infiltrator gets onto the Avenger and critically wounds a soldier, that sort of thing.

This.
They honestly could have reduced ADVENT presence to a minimum, use old ayys as fodder and use the new genemodded ayyliums as the "dangerous minibosses" they were hyped up to be.
Fuck it, they could have kept the new aliens a secret for shock value.
They could have used the same trailer they used but with old aliens, then end it with the silhouette of a pectoid skulking around.
Then as the story advances and new old aliens show up, the improved version of the previous month's aliens makes its appearance.

Was there even anything we didn't know at launch day?

I was really disappointed when they revealed that ADVENT units were more ayy than man. Having a little moral ambiguity would have been fun. Don't get me wrong, I had expected that ADVENT troops would be hopped up on meld, but I didn't think they'd end up being a new alien species entirely.

I guess I wanted them to be less Combine and more Metrocop.

I heard there was issues with getting increased enemy pod sizes to work with the DLCs and mods that add new enemies, is that true?

Are there any mods that do work with this?

Is there something like like ports the arms and legs from an off duty MEC soldier from EW?

As far as i know Titanfall mod is the only one that adds robot arms and legs.

>>154564239
your options as of now are titanfall or halo reach, pretty sure the mechanical arm option is only for men with titanfall thought

How deluded are you? Just about everybody not in the US or a third world country is staggered at the Trump phenomenon and how batshit retarded your voterbase is for him to even be in that situation to begin with. Expecting Beagle to not comment on how hilarious the situation is just because it'll hurt /pol/'s feelings is just as, if not more, retarded.
Honestly, where are you even coming from here? Beagle expressing his opinions make him a cuck? What even makes you think Jamball has anything to do with it?

You are dumb as fuck, christ

>Why so mad
Because Beagle was a quality OC contributor to the general who was discouraged by parts of his shitty-ass fanbase not only constantly insulting his girlfriend and him but also pressuring him for more XCOM content every waking moment of his life. Him being an e-celeb is not an excuse to act like a dickweed against him and his partner, and I guarantee you wouldn't if not for the anonymous format. Fucking troglodytes.

>>154565984
>Because Beagle was a quality OC contributor to the general

Dude you have no idea what you are talking about. I wish Beagle wouldn't talk about it because he doesn't have a clue so it just looks bad every-time.

Yeah that is obnoxious, I don't know why people are so obsessed with Jamball.

look, this is coming from someone who would have probably joined the nsdap if i were in germany in 1929, but trump does not have the charisma to lead the country. neither does hillary, for that matter, but at least she can keep the status quo. so i'm voting for her.

Don't try for a second to pretend it takes a lot out of somebody to understand that Trump is a fucknugget, dude is a xenophobic failure of a "businessman" who can not into numbers, foreign policy or legislation. Spin it as much as you want, the facts are there - from four bankrupcies to praising Putin for his """"leadership"""", to his unconstitutional and heavy-handed methods for limiting immigration to wanting to limit NATO support. Beagle has pointed out how crazy the situation is and frightening for us non-americans, not gone on a moral crusade against him. Why are y'all so sensitive about this? Where are you finding Beagle on a moral crusade? I watch most of his streams and I've only ever seen him mention Trump by the by

You're right in that this election is complex. Hillary is a corrupt career politician with no business holding the highest office in the world. What you're not getting is that just because you recognize the fact that Trump is a pimped up halloween pumpkin charading as a moron charading as a presidential candidate does not mean you condone to Hillary's actions, it just means that you can clearly identify that Trump is a moron. As all people should.

The issue is that if you don't pay too much attention that's the exact conclusion you'll reach.

This all started because of his tweets: https://twitter.com/beaglerush/status/759265909307572226
Yeah, you better believe people got touchy when he told them all to fuck off because they have different political views on an election he won't be voting in.
And that's why he should stay out of it. And that's why you should stay out of it too. Because it's divisive and no ones going to be convinced on /xcg/ and people will just be angry. I'll defend Beagle when people are jerks for no reason, but this isn't one of those cases, there's nothing to defend so I just don't want him to talk about it.

He's a business man with a big mouth. I could go on, but that's the summation of it and considering how heated things can get over a fucking glass of milk I don't want to continue this discussion.

Airgame when.

>>154573636
Xenonauts 2 or mods. Someday. Hopefully both.

>>154573746
I would be ok with an XCOM that is purely strategical but has a good airgame simulator.

>>154573907
I wouldn't. I want it all. Because that's x-com.

Airgame should have been a turn based in miniature sort of affair. You get your section of jets (2-4), they make contact with the enemy (no cover/fog of war business), then it's either standard your turn for all units then their turn or your unit their unit your unit their unit.

Obviously more limited action choices but stuff like:

-Evasive manuevers (Cover mode)
-AA missile (higher hit chance but yellow move
-autocannon (blue move so you could auto-cannon twice or autocannon and evasive, but cannot autocannon and AA)
-Then the existing perks we had in Xcom1 like guaranteed hit (probably be pilot A doing a laser-designator for his turn, the next pilot to fire getting a guaranteed hit), some sort of electronic jammer that could either decrease their chance to hit you or decrease their chance to be able to escape (how many turns until they evade you)
-Type of jet might dictate how many aircraft you can bring. Initial fighter-jet is 4, advanced ayy-tech jet is 2. Ayys similarly might start off fielding only 1 UFO but mid to late game you could face 2-3 alien fighters or just 1 big momma jamma vs your ayy fighter.

>>154574976
Aigrame should have been like pokemon battles.

Flare launch (attack goes last) Ammo 5
Missile launch ammo 2
Machine gun ammo 1000
Afterburner fuel 100

>>154574976
Has any compyootor game done turn based air combat well? Not trolling, just asking in case I can steal their system and implement it in a strategy layer mod.

>>154574976
Honestly I like air game as part of the strategic and not another tactical layer. I can see how it would appeal to some though, and there's nothing inherently flawed with the concept, so I would still give it a shot.

>>154575331
Well xenonauts has it, though I couldn't tell you if it was done well. Also Masters of Orion II does it. The only issue is that even with it's cool stuff like tractor beams,interceptors being launched from ships, missals, point defense weapons, and even ship boarding it's mostly aboutalpha striking. Alpha striking and turn based games are just so hard to separate.

>>154575331
FTL is the best I could think of.

>>154574654
on my phone webms are wonky for what ever reason

>>154575624
>turn based
FTL is a great game, but it is definitely not turn based.

>>154575331
I would be happy with a simplified strategy layer like civ though, moving units.

>>154575640
oops meant for >>154574849

>>154575715
It kind of is since you can pause and everything is time unit based so could become turn based quite easily.

>>154575715
>FTL
>not turn base
I bet you never got past the flagship on easy.

>>154575850
The problem is that the combat system is built on the foundation of both you and your opponent executing orders/commands simultaneously. It's real-time, not turn based in the slightest.

>>154575962
Actually I have beaten FTL on easy. It's not turn based okay, the ability to pause the game does not make it turn based.

>>154576084
>Actually I have beaten FTL on easy
Who hasn't?
If you play the game correctly then you pause before every move and every missile that your crew eats, that's pretty much turn-based.

>>154576084
Except each weapons could have a cooldown equal to x amount of turns. It's basically turn based.

Next youll tell me that Total war games are RTS

2MB, 1346x928px

>>154576267
Okay guys please. Pausing the game does not make it turn based. What makes it turn based is that one side executes all their moves and then after that is all done, the other side executes all of their orders. I'm not spouting my opinion here.

Civilization is turn based. X-COM is turn based. Chess is turn based.
Laser Squad Nemesis is not turn based. Apocalypse has a "real-time" mod complete with a pause mechanic. TOTAL WAR IS REAL TIME TACTICAL COMBAT. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>154576508
>Total War is a computer strategy game series developed by The Creative Assembly. Its games combine turn-based strategy and resource management, with real-time tactical control of battles

>Except each weapons could have a cooldown equal to x amount of turns. It's basically turn based
By that logic DOTA is turn based because people have cooldowns. That's all they are, charge up/cool down timers.

Guys please stop. You are worrying me.again

>>154576823

IMO FTL is turn based.

Coke, Diet Coke or Coke Zero

>>154577362

NO. STOP. THIS ISN'T A MATTER OPINION.
HELP I'M ON XCG AND THEY DON'T KNOW THE DEFINITION OF A TURN BASED GAME .I swear you're just doing this to trigger me at this point

>>154577515
You take turns firing weapons and its a based game though.

>>154577636
>You take turns firing weapons
Well you would be wrong there.
>based game though
Can't argue with that :^)

>>154575583
Xenonauts air combat got really boring after about two interceptions though... except the "resolve automatically had a 1% chance of failing even if you totally outnumbered the enemy, making you want to play it if you were doing an ironman campaign.

>>154575740
That will be the first thing I implement if I end up doing anything.

Also, sensible auto-resolve for those who just want to play the strategic game.

>>154577515
They are, stop responding.
