UPDATE 9: The Attack

After getting our new Triton and a shitload of new troops,things were finally looking good for X-COM.

Those are the reserve guys,incase something happens to the main squad (probable)

dosbox2013-07-2422-08-04-39_zps2c0ed074.png


I bought some new shiny weapons and put them inside of the triton,which i had armed with a 14 man squad.Then this happened.

Keep fighting. DEATH NEEDS NOT TO BE THE END OF HOPE! We will stop the alien invasion with the bodies of our fallen!

So, considering that Kavadh has not been cloned yet.... Give him another ride. And after that, keep cloning him when he heroically pathetically dies. Can you kindly do that without my direct request?

Thanks! And good luck again.

UPDATE 10: Reality Check
And that, commander is why you should be a lot more careful with your tactical decisions, said the leader of the funding nations while getting him out of the simulation.
The commander agreed, and vowed to not be reckless in his war against the aliens.Also, the leader notified him that,only 3 species of aliens were known at the time of the simulation.
The calcinites,the aquatoids and the gill men.There might be more of them, he said before letting the general go back to his work.

dosbox2013-07-2512-14-10-95_zps0261fd0a.png


Ofcource superhuman again, because i am a masochist like the danger.


dosbox2013-07-2512-14-27-68_zps2e765147.png


This time around the base is near Europe.

dosbox2013-07-2512-16-29-03_zpsda3f45ca.png


We have a similiar base setup as the last time,expect for two things.I make two other sub pens so i will be able to destroy the others later,and put the living quarters away from the airlock.This will increase the survivability of the base immensly, otherwise a base defense will end up just like the "simulation' Here are the new recuits,and they look familiar don't they?

We start researching gauss technology,as it will be useful to make some and sell them.

dosbox2013-07-2512-41-04-95_zps02cd44d4.png


The first few days are calm,and we manage to research it.After that,we go for the gauss pistol.

dosbox2013-07-2512-46-04-46_zpse28b7aa6.png


Then we go for the rifle.

dosbox2013-07-2512-43-01-58_zps21d9b18f.png


We spot a touched down sub, but we don't attack it because it is night.It escapes before we can catch it during the day.

dosbox2013-07-2512-46-45-02_zps616ca680.png

That's just an excuse for attention whoring :decline:
Hire a large enough force and everyone will fit in. You can also rule that people requesting a respawn personally will take precedence over those who're on auto-cloning. Finally, you can rotate people between missions to fit everyone in.

Yes it is. Just make a list in the first post of everyone who wants to be in, and keep going down the list, going back to the first name when you've exhausted all names. It's absurd that you have unnamed cannon fodder aquanauts when there are so many people asking to be added.

Did you just send my 66-accuracy clone out to die in the front? :rage:

Keep in mind that when an alien sees you you can avoid reaction fire if your next step takes you out of its sight. In most open terrain, this means you simply need to take a step backwards. From there you can retreat to cover and prepare the grenades.

Also, you might try the tanks out. 70 TUs makes them great scouts (any soldiers in front die before they gain that much XP), and their armor lets them take no damage from frontal shots with sonic pistols about 2/3rds of the time. Plus 90 health lets you pull them out and save the investment. Just hope the aliens don't throw a grenade.
