BuhamutZeo posted:So I think a really simple, nice mod to make would be one that replaces a mimic grenade's hologram of the soldier who threw it, with one of those on your memorial wall. Just so the fallen can continue to protect their comrades. Nah, instead of a single soldier it should literally just be the memorial wall.

Yeah, if you do not know what you're up against and get that done near the bottom of the turn order you are in for a rough time the following round.

Yeah gameplay wise there was no contest because Toxin C Toxiguns loving murdered everything effortlessly, they were just really unsatisfying to use and a lovely final tier gun.

You sadly couldn't pull of ridiculous barrages of fire in turn-based mode, just real-time mode. But it was amazing.

Besides, I meant that different toxic guns had bonuses against different species. So, shadow chamber reveals a bunch of mutons in your next mission so you load up on the toxic rifles but not the toxic pistols which are what has the bonuses against advent. Like I said, micromanagement for its own sake. I'm sure that there will be approximately 800 gun variants that ignore cover and do ridiculous damage available within 24 hours of release so I wasn't really suggesting one more.

The tie-in book explains that a few ufo's were shot down by XCOM, a few successful missions, everything going smoothly, then countries pulled out, funding got cut and someone blabbed about the location of XCOM HQ to the aliens.

The one thing I'm definitely going to mod is to make all the plasma hot pink instead of green. Also all the guns will be pink, but that won't require mods.

Why do I feel like Alien Hunters will include a new tier of weaponry? Maybe not tier 4, but definitely tier 3.5 or something. edit: I feel like the aliens have all of the old school designs from the invasion mothballed somewhere, and that's what they bring out when poo poo gets real.

Of all the Day One mods there's probably one that's easily possible, could be really neat/fun, and I don't see anything mentioned about it so far. Give Psi Troops Reanimation. Advent one-shot your rookie? No problem! Get back up!

The one thing I've decided watching the various youtube advance videos is that I really hate the screen-edge concealment effect at mission start. Something about the wavy blue poo poo plus map fog plus camera motion just hits me the wrong way. Like a little bit of motion sickness or something, which is unusual for me. I rarely have problems with that even while playing games so it that's happening just watching a video I'm a bit worried. Hopefully there will be a quick mod to just remove it.

tarbrush posted:Will it be possible to do a goon character pack? Like if we all made ourselves, how easy would that be to collate into one pack? Based on this video, it seems like it can be done relatively simply. Tell you what, if anybody wants to make themselves (or something they'd like us all to imagine they look like) in game and then export it as a file and send it to me, I'll put them together and throw the file up somewhere for people to grab. Rules: 1) Give the character an actual human goddamned name. It doesn't have to be YOUR name, since I have no way of checking, but it shouldn't be like "Buttass McDongs" or anything. 2) Make the nickname your SA username so people know who they're getting viciously murdered by snake ladies. 3) Export the soldier as a new pool that's just for it named with your username. E-mail address is [my username]@gmail.com, just attach the file or put it somewhere and send me a link.
