Maybe that question has been answered somewhere, but is Enemy Within canon for XCOM2? I wouldn't mind getting sent on missions to retrieve the bits to build a MEC at some point. I mean, come on, we're recruiting the dregs, may as well keep them fighting as Robocops when they get hurt.

Xcom only shot down a scout and the supply barge that would become the Avenger before the council bailed and Xcom was shut down.

The aliens bombard earth and accept a hasty peace treaty. Advent is set up as unified world government with bright shining cities. The aliens openly rule the world with compassion, curing all known diseases, eliminating want and calling for unity.

Those that speak out quietly go missing or are labeled terrorists.

The remains of Xcom know the aliens are sinister with ulterior motives and carry on the fight. Shen and Bradford are all that is left from the original command team as Vahlen and the Commander have gone missing. For twenty years Xcom operates as an underground resistance movement, gathering supplies and supporters in the outskirt.s

In the interim years the Avenger is brought online and they recruit rogue Advent scientist Tygan as head of the research team.

Shen dies of old age. His younger daughter takes over the engineering department.

Bradford finds out that the aliens have captured the Commander and are holding them in stasis. He mounts a rescue missions and succeeds, hoping that you, the Commander, can pick up where you left off.

Good luck, Commander.

Personally, I'll consider the book to not be canon and just imagine that the canon is you lasting until the base defense mission (but totally borking up the research so that you can only fight with base weapons and armor), whereupon you get curbstomped and Bradford somehow survives.

The Commander spent too much time ordering new sets of basic armour for the troops in different colours; having them try it on with various wigs. The council balked at the exorbitant wig bill and bailed.

Hey Junpei. Tell you what. If you actually mod weapons in the game and post them on the nexus, I'll buy you platinum.

You're a blithering idiot that just goes on and on but you have some great ideas.

Put those ideas to work, learn how to mod the game and start your path to a career in STEM.

You'll fit in with the other autistic code monkeys you'll be sharing a cube farm with one day.

So I'm on an extraction mission.

My rookie is the last guy left to go. He is two squares away from the extraction zone. A viper poisons him and then an Advent trooper moves in on overwatch 3 squares away.

The rookie panics and runs in to the open, where the trooper blows his head off.

Mission accomplished.

This happened to me with the last two avatars and they never showed up again. My crack squad got slowly whittled down by infinite reinforcements at the end of a four hour mission with a broken win condition.

Fix your game, Jake.

I was scanning a new comm tower and it went in to -5 days.

I went in and out of the geoscape a few times and now all of the events triggered at once.


I thought a patch was incoming?
