The council of nations is disappointed that you nearly let a 100 year old composer die. Commander.

 I've noticed it taking that tone with me regardless

We commend you on your, performance, Commander

It's funny when you get a low rating and they're all like "you did shit, but we have faith. BTW we'll shut you the fuck down if you do that again, but we have total faith in you bro."

I feel that normal is slightly too easy (you can probably manage any mission with a whole team of rookies once you get mid range gear if you're careful) and classic is too hard (mainly the meta side of it, it's so hard to research stuff and panic escalates way too fast). Currently doing a normal ironman game, just about to assault the alien base and I've only lost one rookie so far, although Brahms (heavy) has saved a couple of squaddies who overextended or got flanked by floaters.

yeah normal is def too easy by the end but its a lot of critical knowledge that classic will murder you for not knowing about. The balancing seems weird. I'm kinda wondering what direction firaxis is going to take with the game, its certainly more polished and not as cut down as civ 5 was on release which had a lot of work put into over a year. Xcom could use some work to increase the variety of maps, and maybe some more alien variants or one or two more species but where does it go from here? Are they even going to support the game as much as civ? Its nice that theyve catered to nostalgia here but they don't seem to have taken many opportunities to remix much beyond combat (again exactly what they did to civ 5 and then pruned other systems out). I was kindof disappointed to find out that thin men were just snakemen. Its a nice reworking but I was hoping they'd bring a few new species into it. The outsider seems to be the only addition there and hes just so neglected, largely disappeared after the first act of the game, and is weirdly the one race totally left out of the ending.

Basically extended tutorial mode.

I still struggle with classic though, I can manage ok mission by mission but I don't stand a chance of finishing as the council get all annoyed that I can't do more missions than I'm offered and that I can't send out more satellites because no one will give me engineers because I don't have any satellites...

Just lost my first good character. Lt Goto got swamped by three slids and died. Should have just legged it and rocketed at the first sign of trouble I guess.

Lt. Goto will be remembered in a place that always plays bagpipes and in our hearts.

You always remember your first.

RIP Colonel Abda, top fragger.

Jebus and Rct tried to resuscitate you during combat, but the mutons / berserkers were just too much.

TAKEN 2 SEWN ;_;7

*salutes*

[Brahms]

Just woke up from a dream (a nightmare??) that my high level heavy (the one from the first mission) had died too.

Mad trepidation to return to that mission tonight.

My best named soldier is a Support called William "Congo" Williams.

Still bummed out about Lt Goto... should have taken a rookie and given him the arc thingie instead of her... #damn #darksouls

[Brahms]

This game would probably be better to stream / lp than many others just because you can rename the soldiers to the names of ppl watching...

I should get some sort of screen recorder thing.

[terror]

I lost berath (medic support) due to chrysalids appearing out of nowhere on the last move of my turn while trying to flank a muton (this mechanic annoys me as they basically get 3 actions) in the alien base. The lack of medic lead to deadly not receiving healing during combat or resuscitation once he went critical due to all enemies focusing him as he was a shotty assault.

[discordance]

brahms how much health did your heavy have. If they have enough health you can do what I did and just rocket the floor.

[Brahms]

The heavy only died in my dream. Lt Goto was an assault class. She actually survived the two slids mauling her, but one of those peasant drone thingies shot her up immediately after. I still can't get the hang of this turn based thing but I can sort of see why it's necessary to the pacing of the game. If this was like frynapse dark it'd be a complete massacre probably.
