I was making a warlock edition too, but the fag beat all of us to it. We really need to make a pastebin of the op, unless one is hidden in the op already

God damn it. I leave you guys alone for one minute and you let the fag take over

Stop freaking out over the OP image and talk about the game.

Why does the Viper King look more feminine than the normal female Vipers?

>>184748110
Not really surprising that the only male of his race, raised by a woman, would turn out to be a trap, honestly.

>>184748254
is archon king so angry because she tried to feminize him?

You call this "feminized"? He's a hunk. I think he's pissed off because she didn't give him genitals.

I have disgraced my family. I will commit sodoku and allow my thread to die.

Question.

How would you guys react if they decided to make Rulers for all of the alien races in XCom 2 (Andromedons, Gatekeepers, Mutons, Sectoids, Chrissalids, etc)? And how would you feel about single super-prototype upgrades to the Sectopod, MEC, and Turret as unique boss-style enemies in certain missions like how Julian's Sectopod was the boss of The Lost Tower?

>>184749826
>Turret
are they impervious to fall damage? that'd be scary

>>184749826
Reminds me of LW1 temple ship. It kind of sucked to have every enemy be a boss.

Pretty much

I'm barely into the fourth month of Long War but I'm hitting a point where there's pods fucking anywhere and I don't really have the abilities to deal with so many at once
Whats the secret? Just throw smoke everywhere and pray the mutons don't kill you?

>>184757903
The secret is to not play Long Dong. By its very design it will make it nearly impossible to win by swamping you with tons of high-health and armor enemies while you're still researching Sectoid dissections.

>>184756482
How does the aim of Vipers hold up against Mints? I had a Viper hit my soldier twice while being supressed, but I guess since Vipers usually try to tongue and bind your soldiers they end up being less lethal

>>184760630
I've had a disoriented Viper hit a full cover soldier for 6 HP too many times for it to be just a coincidence
It's always that exact scenario too

I could really do without LW2 but I really miss the enemies growing stronger and gaining some perks and stuff
Advent troops already do, but couldn't that be extended to introduce advanced Sectoids and Vipers later into the campaign so they are not complete pushovers?

>>184760934
The alien perk system was always my favorite feature of Long War, and it's a shame that there's not any mods that try to implement that
Too busy giving us yet another shade of advent trooper, I guess

>>184761095
WotC geoscape with the enemy progression from LW2 would probably make this game a solid 10/10
Fuck adding more useless troops

>>184761346

Funny enough useless troops were my favorite aspect of OG XCOM

>shit aim
>shit stamina
>shit morale
>youre still happy to have them becuase it means not using a good soldier for high casualty jobs like breaching UFOs/capturing ayys/securing the LZ

The expressions they make while wriggling in the Viper's coils are quite nice.

DELETE THIS ENTIRE FUCKING THREAD RIGHT NOW

YOUR MEANT TO PUT SOMETHING ACTUALLY XCOM AND NOT FUCKING FAGGY IN THE OP. THIS HAS BEEN THE WORSE XCOM THREAD IN THE HISTORY OF THREADS. POSSIBLY EVER

>>184765687
Calm your autism. Its just a mod

Is the custom launcher supposed to automatically detect new mods in the XComGame/mods folder or do I need to add that?
Because it didn't detect them earlier, but when I added the folder it now shows every mod as a duplicate with a size of -1 bytes and it won't work ingame

>>184767484
Should automatically detect.
Please sage when you post in this thread.

Should I get the other tiny DLC's when war of the chosen comes out?

>>184773785
If you like customizing your soldiers I guess especially if you like mad max aesthetics, They might even go on sale if your lucky

>>184746036
Source?

>>184760253
This is not true

>>184757903
The biggest part is controlling your activations. If you're not careful you can be overwhelmed. Flashbangs, suppression, grenades and sometimes smoke are your friends.

Late game enemies will have a lot of health and armor, but this can be mitigated through heat grenades/shredder and high tier weapons. Coilguns are where your damage potential goes through the roof.

>people are STILL whining about long war

I need to make one of those images the BOTW fans use

They did a complete 180 with her in 2.

Are more soldier customization options part of the 120 new things in WotC?

Yes, there will be more parts to choose from for base classes. Hopefully more Spark stuff too.
