an entire beer is too much volume for drinking games like this. normal drinking games require a good hit off of a beer, so a decent sip. if you want to be hardcore you just use shots.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

If there's one thing I enjoy most about War of the Chosen it's how quickly it turns into the Star Trek: TNG reunion tour.

I thought it was pretty clear that ladders needed to be blocked. And I'm heavily medicated and suffering from what my neurologist called "cognitice slowness" so I don't think there's any excuse.

After some googling, apparently the zoo in Minnesota does have a red panda. Sadly I'm poor so I can't pay for Dan and Grace to come see it. Hell, I'm not sure I can afford to go see it myself. Also it's hot and the whole migraine thing.

Also I would go to Dan and Grace's wedding if invited but, again, poor. I don't know why I keep getting hit by these drive-by "CirclMastr is sick of our poo poo" comments.

Man, you need to embrace everything being explodey more. The proper solution to the assassin hiding upstairs is to remove the floor under her so gravity can politely insist she interact with the nice people throwing her a party.

Rule number one, don't get me killed.
The Chosen have some really nasty abilities, and the Assassin is probably the worst of the lot. She basically has Implacable from Ranger but better, or the ability of the third hero type we haven't seen yet in this LP.

I actually have, and likely will take advantage of the Lost by camping on ladders, then blowing up as many things as possible until the 74 zombies that appear kill all the advent :v: With that said I also might not because the PS4 version REALLY HATES having a lot of Lost on the map. I've never actually had the PC version CTD but the PS4 version has hard crashed a few times while testing poo poo.

History shows, again and again, how nature points out the folly of man.
It struck me as entirely possible that the Chosen would just single-handedly kill all of your squaddies if she did not make the baffling decision to end her turn in the middle of a street

Yeah you shoulda just taken the shot. dealing with one mostly dead cell and one healthy one is better than dealing with two healthy cells esp this early on.

I don't like the early game just cause of how limited your options are. The civilian rescue missions are especially mean.

Yeah but at the same time while I'm dealing with Sectoid and his bitch friends, the other pods are off executing civilians, of which I was way too drat close to failing the mission due to :saddowns: Fortunately that mission ended up being a Three Stooges episode for Advent too, otherwise this LP might have ended way too loving fast

That's fair but that's also what got you into that mess. You just don't have the tools atm to handle everything so try to take em apart one cell st a time. The game is usually merciful in that every cell seems to focus on like one or two civvies near them so if you can take out one or two cells you should have enough civvies to finish the mission.

Oh and obv you need to make sure not to end your turns grabbing civvies cause they can go Faceless and welp but other than Elena your guys have gently caress all for movement so welp.

IIRC XCOM 2 is pretty good about building. A staffed workshop helps a lot early game but eventually you get enough staff to staff everything without gremlins. A couple late game buildings are best placed on an exposed power conduit but we wont need that for a while.

Not having a GTS or a proving ground is really chapping my rear end though. I have no idea where the hell the black market is but GIVE ME SOME drat ENGINEERS :argh:

Workshops are pretty bad in WOTC: IIRC they cost more than they did in the base game (and were already pricy) and compete for space with new buildings. You can also get new engineers from resistance missions now.

Basically prostrat is to build the Ring as soon as possible because it provides tons of useful things for basically no cost.
