RIP The Rage, strangled to death by a Seeker while the rest of the team was busy dealing with threats which would jeopardize more than just you. A group of floaters has approached, but all of the enemies mentioned before except possibly one Thin Man are dead.

RIP Half Hazard, but you did take two of them down with you.

Things got really bad and everyone except Arnie is dead. I'm trying to flee, I think he will make it out. We've lost France, I guess.

A somber day indeed. Erik Andersen was someone I forgot to name.

The worst part is, we lost all three of our laser rifles. poo poo. I had to spend some very Precious meld to build two quickly, and building two more in the standard time.

Be on the lookout guys. I'm not sure I like this.

Well, poo poo is getting real, again, for like the sixth time. We've finished interrogating the survivor of the attack. I have... grim news.

We have a new enemy, and their name is EXALT, a group of renegade alien sympathizers, but for now, that's all we know.

We know there is an EXALT cell in Mexico, and now we need to choose an undercover operative. Because literally every single named soldier I have currently is wounded and will be for some time, I need a special volunteer.

I have one position open for a new rookie. You will be away from base for long periods of time and will likely not see combat against the alien menace. Instead, you will be infiltrating EXALT, reporting locations of their critical supply caches and bases, and joining us in the assault against them. Please let me know if you would like this position.

NOTE: you get a cool jacket and you're limited to pistols only:


This is a good place to take a break so I am.

I hope the fact that the last mission was named Operation Burning Future isn't foreshadowing gloomy upcoming news.

Is this mod super good then? I was thinking of replaying Xcom on classic/ironman but I might try this instead.

After playing with the mod I won't play the game again without the mod. I talked a lot about how it changes the game on the last page.

If I could do this all over from the beginning though for the purpose of this thread I would have chosen the "Not-so-long War" option that speeds things up a little. If we die off and fail and I'm not burned out on the game that's how I'll restart it. I kind of want to just do that now and better organize the thread but I know some people are attached to their lil dudes

would you destroy all for which we have fought, and suffered

Okay this sucks.

This is the 'official' hard version of that fisherman's wharf map that has ruined us twice now. Instead of just killing everything, we have to fight our way across the wharf on to a boat, which has an infected whale carcass on it that spends the entire time infinitely spawning chryssalids. We have to fight our way on to the boat while they keep spawning, climb up to the deck, and set some bombs, then escape everyone back to the evac zone, and it keeps infinitely spawning chryssalids.

We don't have a single soldier available right now that has even seen a mission before, so I'm just abandoning it. This isn't going to make the Council happy but we really have no choice. There's no way for us to successfully complete this mission and I can't even afford to replace dead rookies right now (we're still desperate for 4-5 more interceptors but that's like an entire month's worth of money), I would be wary even if we still had our A Squad. This might be the beginning of things spiraling out of control.
