Every time someone refers to you as commander the prefix it with a very soft "Cobra" you can hear it if you listen. Bradford's last name is Bludd... just waiting for the eyepatch. Monolith Base, Helicarrier, it all adds up.

Vib Rib posted:Not really the game for that. This isn't some soul-searching "who are the REAL invaders" situation because it's them. They are the real invaders. They are the ones with giant 10 foot monsters and turrets to shoot civilians if they have protests and black vans that abduct people in the night and literal snake monsters that will eat you. Basically have the bad guys be cartoon villains and have XCOM be shady as gently caress themselves. Plenty of precedence. You'd happily outfit council members with high tech weapons, and didn't give a drat if shoot-downs occurred over occupied areas. You were simply the least bad of all possible options.

Beat the XCOM base assault with one loss, aside from those garbage rookies they give you. So many goddamn mechtoids and cyberdisks, gently caress me.

Hey, those security rookies are totally not garbage. One of mine killed a Mectoid and sectoid in a single turn. So, how sure are we that Beardman is Bradford? He lacks the wooly-pully and his voice is different, but most of the facial features are only dissimilar enough to potentially be updated-engine differences.

Also, we don't need sweaters in a world where the aliens have initiated run away global warming, according to Jakey.

Bradford doesn't hate his sweater. He still has it. He's just sworn not to wear it again until Earth is free once more. The closing cinematic is him pulling it on and giving a victory speech.

The mechtoids pissed me off the most because they would get boosted through psi after spawning in the fog of war. If I tried pressing forward to kill the sectoid commander I'd just get annihilated.

So, I'm pretty sure I can tackle the first landed UFO in long war, the only pod remaining is the outsider pod, and I still have two rockets. Should I do it, or is there any bullshit that Long war will throw at me If I actually go trought with it?

No extra bullshit, just make sure you can actually take out 5-6 Outsiders.

If you can deploy both of those rockets in one turn, the Outsiders scatter mildly conveniently, and you don't in particular care about collateral damage you should be okay. Basically lol if you leave more than one (even potentially one) up, though. Hopefully the recovered resources are enough of a shot in the arm that one lost or month-plus tanked per Outsider who survives!

What are outsiders supposed to be anyway? A projected form for psy aliens to lead through, so they don't need to put their fleshforms in harm's way?

I completed mine last night as well. At least 7 Mechtoids and 8 Disks. It was loving brutal. Lost plenty of redshirts and I was one turn from losing my top assault (critically wounded) but I managed to mop up the last few aliens when he was 1 turn from dying so I didn't lose anything from my A-team. I'm almost done with EXALT and have 3 Firestorms in the oven so after this month/early next month my air game will be set, EXALT will be loving dead, and I can focus on research/training up more troops so I can start collecting achievements / not get hosed by a code black.

I can finally do the base assault. I have two Major MECs and a bunch of CPTs and LTs, but I'm waiting until one of my Squaddies is MECanized before I go in. Thinking three MECs, Heavy, Assault, and Medic Support. Just had my first MEC vs Mechtoid melee combat. Love the cinematic fight animation when my MEC smashed the evil little fucker.

Dunno I think it would be cool if you ended up working with EXALT as they basically realized they were idiots but are humanists first and foremost. Or something.

I just did my first EXALT mission and got my operative out safe and sound. Then in the debriefing screen it says she was KIA somehow. On the memorial her death is listed as being from "major trauma (unknown)." What?

But I doubt you did, since it automatically pulls your operative out. Sorry man
