>>162720348
Git gud. I don't think it's that hard to do if you do basic shit like:
- pay attention to which guy has what gear
- don't place your guys in anywhere but hard cover or out of los
- move out of alien los and overwatch -- this one always gets the sectoids

Your aim will suck so really the only advantages you can get at that point are nades, terrain, flanking and moving out of los and overwatching.

Riddle me this:

How does Garrus survive having his shit pushed in by an angry mob at the end of the game? It's quite clear he gets mobbed and yet he shows up to give you shit on the last mission. What the heck?
>>
>>162740289

More than one speaker obviously. What point would there be in turning ALL the thin men back into Vipers? Keep a few thousand around for manipulating humans, going to events and being the "face" of the elders.

I hope speakers get introduced in an expansion as another Advent unit above captains, so you can personally wreck their shit.
>>
>>162740289
Does the game show him getting actually beat by the mob? Not really. He probably just jumped right out of there.

>>XCom is more like space marines, Xenonauts could be more like Imperial guard.

Agreed. XCOM has moved more to the super-soldier side with special units like Psy (Librarians), MEC/SPARK (Dreadnoughts) and Gene mods making every operative into practically Space Marines. Adding vehicles/air strikes to this, while potentially awesome, could detract a bit too much for the core of the type of game XCOM is going for: A Unit of Elite -Operatives- fighting against the all odds.

It's Xenonauts the one who could really benefit from getting much more vehicles into the mix as it will help the series to differentiate itself from XCOM. If they really want to claim that "Global Defense" in their title they really need to go the route of Rapid-Response Elite -Army- fighting against an invading alien army.

He is a viper, and he had Advent guards, i don't think a mob of normal people would be able to take him down.

Ninja Nub is awesome for porting some cool shit, but he abandoned xcom modding months ago to port ARMA models to the stalker mod CoC. He even had some hl1 marines, zombies, and alyx ported, but never released.

The aliens themselves went through genetic changes to turn them into what they are, living war machines. We are changing them to be subservient.

And even that point is a non-issue if they are made to be subservient from first conception.

Perhaps for the first generation, but for the second generation newborns it won't hold water. They're be born with the innate need to love being slaves.

>they went through genetic changes against their will at the hands of wretched aliens

They're all wretched aliens on our planet, to them we're wretched anyway.

>this is a war of liberation

We're liberating the human race, not the galaxy

>we are benevolent, we are not inhumane, we are the saviors of aliens

We are benevolent to our fellow man only. Ever since they came to our planet it's been war against them. And then it's either been our obedience or death. And even with our obedience they've taken us to be turned into solient green. We owe them nothing.

No the mere act of a living Alien is torture for themselves and a danger to humanity. The Ayys must be purged.

Hmmm, XCOM 3 could have potential as now the remaining aliens are now without leaders and factions.

Advent being out of commission, the remaining aliens that are no longer under the influence of the Elder could now gain individuality.

I hope we could recruit aliens to fight off the invading horrors of the deep, giving them a chance to redeem their debt to humanity by either dying or succeeding.

Will they go X-com apocalypse route for this one with different factions on the play ?

I can see hybrids legitimately integrating into society and helping xcom. Troopers are basically human without being brainwashed.

Honestly not much else though. I can see mutons forming a tribal society in ruined outskirts and just generally being an annoyance and destroying shit. Things like berserkers and faceless need to be fucking exterminated.

Vipers maybe just because they're supposed to be intelligent, but them and sectoids just seem generally chaotic evil for the sake of it.

The only other thing I can see integrating would be archons. Only then because they're basically just war machines that can be repurposed, and are probably smart enough to understand the necessity of killing interdimensional cthulhu.

Honestly I think you should be able to figure it out. More importantly make sure you are rushing engineers and satellites for the strategic game. Cover the world, airgame is easy as pie, even more so considering you went through LW. There really isn't a consequence for just saturating the world with sats and a minimal air-force.

After victory over the alien menace xcom takes over as the defacto global government and military. They use mass media to perpetuate the lie that the alien menace is still out there so they need to maintain strict control over the world. Xcom 3 involves you shutting down pockets of resistance and killing protestors.

There is gonna be more ayys, it's more likely for more than one (or more) pods to engage you at the same time and they will have more hp an armor.
It's a big difference.
>>
>>162796787
Good luck with that since the extra health means you won't be one shotting them consistently anymore. A big reason people complain about gatecrasher on higher difficulties is because grenades don't one shot consistently, so you don't get to alpha strike anymore when they flee behind cover.

>>162796504
the HP of ayys goes up
their armor goes up
you get no miss compensation (your chance to hit increases with each missed shot, losing soldiers increase you hit, none of those are there in legend)

this means, the avarage tactic you are using now will let ayys live that would be dead otherwise, and they will shoot you
and kill you
>>
>>162796530
this is another change i notice
if you are flanked getting out of stealth, they open fire almost every time, while previously they ran for cover (if they were exposed themselfs too)
>>
>>162804484
that and maybe add maps with rail ways and when they call for reinforcements the lights on the rails start blinking to warn you to move out of the rails and a train pulls over with a couple pods inside the wagons
also would be nice to have random events that transform the battlefield like cars pulling over, maybe a dropship actually lands in the field

How about a "K9" class?

Like, the unit is a human with a trained dog. They both go on the same turn. A support unit rather than damage.

The dog can hold aliens in place and run twice the amount of tiles a human can.

The main human action is telling the dog what to do, only using pistols and maybe shotguns.

Do you laddos actually use EMP grenades? The fact they're only useful against robotics and don't do any damage to anything else just seems useless to me.

Sometimes it's the little things that help flesh a soldier out. Whenever I get a British Ranger, I always name their shotgun "Sod-Off". Yes, I know the proper British term is Sawn-Off, but my British Ranger likes the American name better because it lets him/her use an obscenity.

Mixed opinions on them. Good scouts. Can't take a fly landing on them but if they get the drop on low TU aliens they can clear a whole small ship on their own. First mission of my new game i watned to try them & flooded 5 of them into a small scout. No ayys left by the end of the turn. Loose their usefulness once your soldiers start getting better armor. But 1 is still a good spotter

Currently playing vanilla XCOM 2, had an idle thought: What's the maximum amount of damage its possible to deal with one soldier in a single turn?

Lightning Hands -> Ruler reaction damages Sharpshooter -> Return Fire -> Pistol Shot -> Fan Fire, with every shot being a crit?

What about to multiple targets?

It's kinda cool that this game would have had top-tier graphics for an FPS only a few years ago.
>>
>>162862557
Yeah which is kinda dumb. I don't really think the end of XCOM1 is necessarily incompatible with 2. You took out their main ship, but you still don't have much insight into the entire invasion beyond Ethereals.

What if the events of XCOM1 were what allowed the resistance to even be a thing, instead of the world just getting fucked in a few days.

But oh well. Retcons.

Grenadiers are the shit. [Remove Cover Intensifies], acid grenades/bombs and Shredder to chew up armor, Chain Shot on high aim Grenadiers, etc. Incredibly useful class.
>>
>>162867165
Yeah, I tried going with them mostly this time around so I'd heard.

But compared to what I could do with Assaults in my first run through...I dunno. I could spread 1-2 out to keep an eye on patrols whilst the others charged around slamming shit with 100% aim shotguns. Once Armour came into play Specialists could usually either hack it or I could use WAR Suit rockets etc.

Can someone tell me why apparently all my rangers have bullet attracting magnets in their asses? My memorial has become crowded with the portraits of rangers who's epitaphs all happen do be "hey you guys notice we don't have a lot of rangers here? That's weird huh?"

It's not even me putting them up too far or being risky and moving them to half cover or some shit. I can have a fucking medic standing next to a berserker, two half dead rookies standing flanked in half cover, and the fucker will walk past them, punch down two walls, just to passionately ram my ranger specifically. I don't fucking get it. Without fail my rangers always take all the attention regardless of positioning or health and shit.

It's got it's issues, but it is still a good game, just try to hold your nose to the artstyle. It is probably worth playing just to understand how ambitious it was. Open Apocalypse would be a dream come true if it ever finishes.

>>162921725
>I'll just be over here, being old.
More like you will just be over there being right. I really like both, it doesn't require nostalgia to see how amazing x-com is. Playing both games and really digging into how the mechanics work has actually made me enjoy and respect both of them more.
>>
>>162921635
Apoc is one of the most notoriously flaky programs ever, that sufferes from being written during the transition from DOS to Windows.
At the time it didn't matter, but now it's 'legacy' it -can- be a complete pain to run.

The game itself is fairly entertaining, and the realtime combat (a big deal at the time) is pretty ace, if basic by todays standards.
Nothing spectacular, but deffo worth a look if only for the novelty value.

Single Target
>Ranger Flank bonus + Rapid Fire + Talon/bluescreen Rounds

The highest potential damage would probably be faceoff + dragon/venom rounds as it takes a shot on every visible target, so its potential is only limited by how many targets you can exist in LOS
>>
>>162921635
Yes. In a way it's the anti-XCOM, also trying to fix the original's flaws, but through additional complexity and features rather than streamlining. It's worth checking out for its airgame and real-time battlescape alone. Also, 10/10 soundtrack.
Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong during its development went wrong. The fact that end result is playable from start to finish with comparatively few issues is nothing short of a miracle.
>>
>>162929489
>>162921635
The coolest part to me is the geo-scape (or city-scape in this case).
The Apocalypse geocape is something that really sets it apart. Imagine that you are playing a simcity (the older ones) but instead of managing the entire city, you are running the police department. Now replace the police department with x-com. The city is alive. There are government forces, police forces, corporations, a cult, political and activist groups, and gangs all interacting with each other completely independently of your actions. There is a transportation system, private civilians, space transports moving in and out. You and the aliens are players in a city that doesn't actually revolve around you. I would love to see an Apoc remake that brings that city-scape back, while presenting a cohesive art-style and a cleaning up some of the rougher edges.
>>
does being flanked count as "not being in cover" for ap grenades
>>
>>162934279
You have to throw it behind their cover if that is what you mean. The grenade indicator will tell you if it's going to do damage or not by highlighting the enemy red.
>>
>>162934972
ah the highlight shows whether or not it deals damage
good to know
i thought it only dealt damage if they were standing around in the open
>>
>>162935297
Nope, the description is a bit odd, but you just need to be a bit closer to hit aliens in cover. Also note that sometime you can hit flying units by throwing the grenade to hit or bounce onto geometry in the game.

They're supposedly super duper delicious. Tygan misses them from his time living in the city centres. Lily is curious about them. And after you've sent soldiers on a mission with a burger place or meat packing plant, Bradford sometimes complains about finding the wrappers everywhere.

Beagle said in the modding Discord that he won't be doing X2 streaming for a while and instead turning his XCOM attention to a LnL S2.

As he explains it, 'It's easier to get things in regards to mods troubleshooted when not playing live'

>>162957074

He did plan "streaming something XCOM" by mid-late December but it really looks like he is going to give a good look at his options before deciding what to stream again.

Beagle's Civ streams are insanely underrated though, fun times.

there was a turn of nothing after both the pods got triggered as i fell back, i figured if i moved more i'd get overwatched to death
the thin man had repositioned quite significantly and flanked me from lowground, while the floater just barged straight in and was very avoidable

i find it that going balls in in such a situation is the only good chocice. whenever i try to fall back, not only do i still get shot at, but i also waste a turn, so when shit hits the fan i just acknowledge that ppl will die and make sure they take as many with them as possible. Usualy niggas survive by deflecting ayy shots with their GIGANTIC balls of steel.

You can capture drones with the arc thrower, and then drones use to ave infinite repair for mechanized units once captures (infinite repair for your mecs).

The blackmarket bonuses are better.
They give you the resources to build shit.

Instant-production is only good if you're already overflowing with resources.


For the former you're constantly bringing in enough cash to start new the projects, and then you wait for them to complete. The latter you're waiting the same amount of time or longer just to get enough resources to insta-build them.

Well, the good thing about EU/EW is that the campaign objectives can actually be done more or less at your leisure, as the REAL objective is to get satellite coverage around the globe ASAP. That said, I'd suggest doing what the other guys said and

>>163010641
Either you're on a difficulty where it has 3HP or less and so softening it was unnecessary or you're using a Plasma pistol and you're just that late to the party for capturing it. Once it's 3HP the stun chance is already 70%, which is good enough for the purposes of just running up and being done with it rather than fiddling about with trying to soften the target further with pistols.

>>163005408

I've barely used reshades, but i believe you can basically download all of them and then select them through the reshade assistant thingy to try them out, so you just switch them in the tool. And then if you want you can manually modify individual effects and stuff.
