LET'S ♥♥♥♥ PLAY X-COM UFO DEFENSE



IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS GAME IS, YOU WILL VERY SOON.


POST IF YOU WANT TO ADOPT A SOLDIER. AFTER YOU ADOPT HIM YOU CAN NAME HIM, PREFERABLY AFTER YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU'RE A NARCISSISTIC BASTARD. IF YOU WANT YOU CAN ALSO SPECIFY WHAT KIND OF WEAPON YOU WANT YOUR SOLDIER TO USE. BASICALLY YOUR OPTIONS ARE AUTOCANNON OR SOME KIND OF RIFLE, BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO USE SOMETHING ELSE I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU CAN REAPPLY IF YOUR SOLDIER DIES.

WE WILL SEND YOU LETTERS AND PHOTOS FROM YOUR ADOPTED SOLDIERS TO LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR DONATION HELPS THEM, AND TO LET YOU KNOW HOW THEY'RE DOING.

Okay, let's just get this party started already. For those who want to know, I'm using version 1.2 of the original X-COM for DOS. Sound effects are a good thing to have, and you don't get them in the silly 1.4 version.


Image

Anyway, I'm going in on Veteran because Superhuman is just a pain in the ass.


Image

Now, our first real decision. Where will our first base be located?


Image

Perhaps in the land of prosperity and obesity?


Image

Or maybe this ♥♥♥♥.


Or maybe somewhere else entirely. I hear Australia has nice weather this time of year.

Oh, last but not least, what will our base be called?

I'm adopting myself!

Adopt me, I have a feeling I'll die quickly, that's how this game works.

Also: U.S. is a good starting point because they give the most funds, Europe is the best second choice.

Name my soldier My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Don't give him any good guns, or none at all, I don't know how this game works. Preferably one.
Make him rush into battle and die horribly.

Also go to Canada and drink maple syrup out of a hockey playing bacon beaver's ass.

Canada it is.

Image

Phew - just hit the text limit there for base names.


Image

Image

Aaah, the standard loadout - only more Canadian.
Perhaps we can improve on things a bit?


Image

Image

Image

Unload the useless stuff...


Image

Image

Sell said useless stuff so we have more room for useful equipment...


Image

Hire some more mooks and scientists and -

Image

HE Autocannon rounds.
Yeah baby, now we're playing with the big boys.
Those Stun Rods will definitely come in handy later too - and the Proximity Grenades can sit around at the base in case of an emergency.

Just one more thing...


Image

Yeah, there we go. One month, and we'll have a very nice base on our hands.


Now then, we have some soldiers to worry about.


Image

No no no, that won't do.
We can't even tell which ones are the sucky ones and which ones have promise.


Image

Much better.

For those of you who are interested in my naming scheme, here:


Anyway, we aren't done yet.


Image

FinDude gets to be only brave heavy unit I have - I won't be putting up units with Ws in their name up for adoption as it's second nature for me to kill them if I get the chance.
That is, unless somebody wants to be expendable? Pffft, yeah right.


Image

Oh. Right.
Miggles.
...


Image

Skiv is a badass.


Image

Natti is his less accurate sidekick.


Image

Well, that wraps things up nicely.


More updates coming soon. If you don't like how I've set up the base, feel free to tell me and I'll make adjustments.

I'd like to Adopt Torpedo Man, user of (eventually) laser rifles and snoiper.
Alternatively, make him a ship-rusher with dual wielded stunsticks and a headband of fury.

Wow, this game looks good.
Has the equipping bit come yet
make sure to give me nothing

Ooh, can I have a dude? :D

I wouldn't mind being fodder if I always get replaced :P, just FYI. Another thing, people usually go with one of each craft at the beginning, selling one hanger immediately. I could see the way you're doing it working if you built another hanger, or do you plan on selling a interceptor?

Author:  CrazyMLC [ Tue Aug 14, 2012 4:34 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Let's Play X-COM: UFO DEFENSE - The name of our first base?

You only get billed for the Interceptor at the end of the month, and the aliens aren't aggressive for the first month. So, why not keep it until it becomes a liability?

Rest assured, I'll be selling it before the month is done.

Post subject:  Re: Let's Play X-COM: UFO DEFENSE - The name of our first base?

You going to transfer all the scientist and engineers before the month to get out of paying them too?

Author:  CrazyMLC [ Tue Aug 14, 2012 4:40 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Let's Play X-COM: UFO DEFENSE - The name of our first base?

Nah, feels like cheating. They'll be sitting pretty right in my base the whole time.
