Let's Play X-COM: UFO DEFENSE - Fence Chronicles
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.
Anyway, I'm going in on Veteran because Superhuman is just a pain in the ass.
Now, our first real decision. Where will our first base be located?
Perhaps in the land of prosperity and obesity?
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?

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.

Re: Let's Play X-COM: UFO DEFENSE - The name of our first base?
Phew - just hit the text limit there for base names.
Aaah, the standard loadout - only more Canadian. Perhaps we can improve on things a bit?
Unload the useless stuff...
Sell said useless stuff so we have more room for useful equipment...
Hire some more mooks and scientists and -
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...
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.
No no no, that won't do. We can't even tell which ones are the sucky ones and which ones have promise.
Much better.
For those of you who are interested in my naming scheme, here:
The first letter corresponds to Strength, and the second to Bravery. For those of you who don't know, Strength is the stat that says how much you can carry before you start being able to do less in a turn - very important. Bravery is basically how much scary ♥♥♥♥ a unit can go through before it starts spazzing out and not listening to you - also very important. Both are basic things you want to know off hand about each unit so you can decide whether they get to wield heavy weapons or go on risky missions.
The order is as follows: Light, Medium, Heavy, Ultra Heavy Wimp, Medium, Brave
If a unit has low Bravery and generally bad stats, I name them Fodder, Kill Me, Bob, or something else like that. They get to do the crazy suicide missions! Yay!
If a unit has W in its name though, it's also on the list of expendable units. Who wants pussies in their army?
Anyway, we aren't done yet.
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.
Oh. Right. Miggles. ...
Skiv is a badass.
Natti is his less accurate sidekick.
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.

I wouldn't mind being fodder if I always get replaced , 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?

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.

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