This game is gonna need a mod which plays the "Terrorists win" from counter strike when you win a mission. "Counter-terrorists win" if your squad gets wiped.

The ADVENT troopers have long health bars, but made of only three pips. Looks like they're the new "sectoid" as far as weak enemies you can blow away at the start of the game.

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


I agree that the alien cities look too clean. Those streets are so shiny, the grass so flat. How could anyone live there!?

They apparently got devmode powers for that, they wanted to give a more :xcom: feel.

That double-overwatch setup was truly amazing. Speaking of, did anyone miss in that entire demo? Again, probably devmode.

Alien ships are like that as well despite having monstrous space bugs with acid drool crawling around. The aliens probably have really sophisticated cleaning technology.

If the aliens eliminated disease and crime and made everyone happy, I'm not sure what they can be doing that's so horrible as to make up for that.

When I clicked the link from earlier they were talking about something else, so anyone know if there's a youtube version yet?

You can go back in the stream. I think XCOM is around the 8 hour mark or so.

I have to say, with the increased presence of females who would realistically not be capable of battle, "ex com too" is not going to be a thing I spend my neo shekels on any longer.

In the post-discussion they mentioned that the enemy will not get an action when they're first deployed on the map, nor will the Viper just be able to straight up kill a guy in cover in on one turn with the abduct move. They only did it for "demo" purposes.

I feel like the increased meld when you're behind is one of the few areas in which Long War has a mechanic that actually reinforces the idea that you're not screwed if you don't win every mission or abandon some. It's a catch up mechanic instead of something that just makes you win harder or death spiral worse. Contrast, for example, with the repair mechanic.
It's nice, because meld can quick-build and quick-produce various structures and items which could really help you get back in the game.
However, doing those things also increases the cost of every OTHER cost, which makes it kind of pointless for people lagging behind. All it does is bolster the people who are coasting along way ahead.
