Let's Sperg A ChuckleFuck tries OpenXComExtended Mod (The Endless War v1.18) (Screenshot Let'sPlay) - *Smug kyubey*

[ChucklesTheJester]

Let's Start with a explanation of what the hell OpenXComExtended is.

About | OpenXcom

openxcom.org

Spoiler

"What is OpenXcom?

OpenXcom is an open-source clone of the original UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-Com: UFO Defense in USA), licensed under the GPL and written in C++ / SDL. It was originally founded by SupSuper in February 2010, and has since grown into a small development team surrounded by a very supporting community.


The goal of the project is to bring back the tried and true feel of the original with none of the issues. All the same graphics, sound and gameplay with a brand new codebase written from scratch. This should give it:"

Where OpenXcomExended is more about Expanding this new engine so modders can do more stuff with it.

The Mod I will be "Trying" to play is.

The Endless War mod for OpenXcom

Huge expansion of the original game located in a long war of attrition in the future that adds dozens of weapons, equipment, missions and new enemies to the game.

openxcom.mod.io

Spoiler

"Thirty-six years have passed since the first alien ship visited us...




The hopes and desires of Humanity were placed in that encounter that without a doubt would change our history forever. But, unfortunately, we are wrong. The aliens soon revealed their true intentions, and the war began.


Humanity has been at war since January 1, 1999. The Endless War they call it. XCOM was created to defend the world, but the commanders have succeeded each other, without any getting a decisive victory. Now it's your turn. As the new commander of XCOM, all eyes are focused on you, commander. I am your right hand.

Welcome to The Endless War.
the Endless War it is a total conversion, or rather, a reimagining of the original game. The mod follows a similar line of argument that the original, located in a much longer and bloody war against the alien invaders. Many innocents have died and the war is getting longer. XCOM has had numerous commanders who have not been able to obtain victory over the invader. The game begins with the arrival of a new commander, who must turn the scales in our favor. You are the chosen one for such a monumental task. The future of humanity is in your hands, commander.


Expect a much longer war than the vanilla campaign, as well as a variety of weapons and equipment much more numerous and varied.

The Mod is Really more of a "MegaPack" Almost 600 Mbs of Mods was slap dashed into this thing. With no thought to balancing it at all, at least it feels that way.

1.Few Things I want to Start off with. I haven't gotten more then a week or two in this mod.
2. I am very bad at x-com and will do this on beginners mode(Not that it really matters).

Episode 0 Just the Intro

Spoiler

This Mod is also Translated to English which is why reading it might feel like you are having a stroke.

Once in a while it gets it right, so it's not all that bad.

No real idea where a lot of these Intro pictures are from, but a few later you may recognise.

Yes Hopeful spaceships, and spaceships that are afraid of the unknow. Knowing the internet, I wouldn't doubt if someone somewhere made art of a spaceship-chan.

Pretty much how it feels when you send a inceptor with stingray vs a battleship. I know from personal experience.

Imaged here is a Thread of Kiwi's Sperging about a lolcow.

Feel like most if not all of these could be posts on /r/ihadastroke/, and it fit in well.

Nukes are a thing in this mod, both as a base defense building, and ammo for a weapon.
Still hasn't figured out what weapon they are for.

Looks like Gray Naked Mr X's are invadeing, Wouldn't that be hell of a twist if umbrella was working with the aliens.

Yes we are now suddenly a fallout game. Hopefully not 76, 4 at least could be fixed by mods.

Suddenly we are also a anime as well as fallout. At this point first time starting this mod up, I couldn't stop laughing.

You Could say this was a LONG WAR for Xcom.

Apparently Commander Shepard was at some point part of X-Com as well. Just add it to the Ever growing List of things this mod is apparently also a cross over of, or apart of.

And of course we are also part of the Reboot. Too bad they let someone as inept as me become the commander. Oh and that Line about aggressive and ruthless isn't a lie.
Even on beginner diffculty (The One I will play), you can have a battle ship raid your base on the first day.
It can easily be full of Mutons, not just your every run of the day Green mutons.
Red,Black, ect colored modded in ones.

Or it could just be a Battleship of floaters, Hopefully if we do get invaded that early it's floaters.

Here is the Title Screenin All of It's glory. Starting the game will be next Episode
But before that one last thing.

Starting improved base is something you should turn on, just because you need that little bit of extra help of those free facilities.
Oh and if the Scroll bar looks glitchy, thats just because of how many mods are in this mod, if I was to Hazzard a guess, 150-200 mods at the minimum, I'm not going to go counting them.

Next Update we Start the Game, and you see what kind of a shitshow we are working with here.

If any of you posters want to name a one of the soldiers, or dogs, Please do at the end of your post, or Send me a PM.

Otherwise Most of the Names will be what ever random name I can think of.

 

[Grotesque Bushes]

Holy shit, an Eckscawm total conversion mod bucket? I'll have to look into that, looks like a trashfire in the making. My bet is on animu girls fighting space deathclaws with biotic powers in 5 episodes.

AHAHAHA they've used sprites from Final Liberation as well. Oh boy, this will be golden.

I assume rookies are as accurate as before, name one Glaucoma Joe and give the man a missile launcher. Bonus good boi points if you leave him on overwatch.

Accuracy won't matter much at first, not until we get weapons that don't just tickle the enemies holes.

 

[Grotesque Bushes]

Accuracy won't matter much at first, not until we get weapons that don't just tickle the enemies holes.

It does when you have a rookie with a missile launcher - that ~70% chance to miss means someone will get a rocket in the back. And while some enemies will shrug that off, your rookies won't.
I used to run a 2 missile launcher squad in XCOM due to the shit initial weapons - the plan was to flatten everything that could house enemies until I've got lasers. UFOs were handled via opening walls with satchel charges and brave assaults with stun rods. Some rookies survived.

Good news and Bad news for you.

Good News There are plenty of Explosive stuff jam packed in this mod, and it will most certainly will put to shame vanilla stuff.
Bad news is buying stuff with out building more storage. That make more sense when ever I get the first real update done, which may be later today or tomorrow.

 

[Lemmingwise]

The question is: which of the 5 types of frag grenade will you use?

 

[GnomeofDoc]

awesome! More text Lps my favorite. Make sure to add in Null at some point.

 

[L50LasPak]

Fuck yeah X-Com.

EPSIODE 1: Calm Before the Base Raid(Spoilers)

Spoiler

Going to start this off by saying this mod here, Building Mod pack Does not come with this mod, so if you for what ever reason want to play this mod as well. Make sure you find and download this mod because it's useful.

We are playing on beginner, because I am inept as hell, and this will at least give me a fighting chance.

The Base shall be located in America, the land of Guns, and Weebs. Got to keep those Illegal aliens out.

But this raises the question of what do we name our base? Let's use a random name generator for distasters.

This is the name that came up in that generator I used, and thought it was too stupid not to name our base after.

Everyone a gangster till a flood ambushes you.

This is our lovely base, with the added large radar, Alien containment and we thankfully have 2 living spaces.

We start got a pretty lucky start here. 5 soilders, only 1 attack dog and 2 pilots.

So here the thing, when you start a game with this mod it's random to a extend what mix of these 3 you start with.

One time I had 5 attack dogs, 2 pilots, and just 1 solider. In other words, x-com was run by Peta.

Let's get to nameing our guys, and dog. Of course we need a JoJo. Why did I name him jo, and not one of them.

It's so you Viewers can Pick which one of the 8 he should be fully named after, or we can just keep him as Jo.

Now you likely wonder what the hell, why is pilot is a rank. It's simple, you have to assign pilots to craft or they won't be able to fly.
Now I don't hate this Idea, I am not a fan of it, but Oh well.

How can this be a let's play on KF if we don't mention Chris-Chan somewhere.

@GnomeofDoc wanted something to be named after Null. This is a perfect fit is it not.

On that same note @GrotesqueBushes wanted someone named this. Here ya go buddy.

At some point he gonna Pass is going to die on a arctic map,or pass a flame thrower to Mac.

I don't write for star wars, you don't have to worries about subverting your expectations with this guy.

Lastly Joker. Is he Joker from batman, Or Persona 5. Depends on how weeby I am feeling that episode.

Let's try buying a gun that didn't come with our base.

Huh that pretty weird how the he'll are we already full.

Welcome to another dirty trick this mod pulls on you when you start. Your stores are full of this, now hold on don't sell it, tht mind seem weird but just wait.

This is also the stuff in our sky ranger. Notice that weirdly named thing at top B-1. That a HWP we start with, I am gonna put it on our skyranger so we also have a chance if we roll some unlucky space ships finding us.

This is what our enginers can make, Not much right now.

We make 2 of these.

Remember that Mod I showed you as the first image, yeah we going to do that first so we can get some better things to build for our base.

We also going to buy these People/Dog. You never know when a few extra bodies will come in handy.

Here I am sending out our 2 incepters.

Thats why. All 3 of our crafts start with no fuel, and we have to send them out so they can come back a second later to refuel.
Mind you I wont show you guys this after this, just because you get the idea.

Also our second Intercepter Has no weapons equipped starting out. Thanks Mod Maker.

Here I am building 1 Cell block. and 2 GS. The cell block is where we keep non aliens we capture alive. You might notice that the second GS is
Going to take 25 days, and thats because I enabled a neat feature (I think just base OpenXcom) BUILDING QUEUES. That right It's a good feature I like it. Also Notice at the bottom of the list. NUCLEAR MISSILE DEFENSES. Not going to build one yet, if at all, but neat thing to point out.

Oh Shit our first ship. Rather then saying "Alien ship" It just says Xcom Mission, because there are more then just aliens flying around.

Let's see if we can catch it and shoot it down.

No Luck was at the edge and kept going.

Now I can show you that Yes, our craft do refuel using the kerosene. That why I can't go throwing it away, because then our crafts can't do anything.

But if any of you read the Comments of the mod page you already knew this.

And Oh shit another ship.

and we caught it thank God.

Oh and it's a vanilla ship as well. LOok guys I swear this mod is hard, I am not so bad I am losing to these.

I swear.

Here the Clip from the remake of x-com that I found on YouTube.

When ever I see this, I always image that guy looking at us int he bottom right there is yelling this at us.

Because we have so few things at first, I won't go into detail of every Solider being given weapons.

But here we see that pilot suits are for some reason Better armored then Normal Soldiers. They also weigh a lot, to the point that Top Gun can barely hold a pistol.

Also Jo Jostar a girl. Do what you want with that info.

Here the cool image for turn switching.

So this is the HWP we start with. It always starts a mission with 20 missiles 15 on each "hand".

We mainly going to only use it for scouting, and destroying cover, when it comes to missions where we Greatly out gun the enemy like this one.

Just for the sake of showing it. This is what the TU cost is for the two fire modes on this thing.

Auto shot shoots around 5-6 missiles. Again this thing is the only thing keeping us from outright losing VS unlucky base raids, and when we shoot down non vanilla stuff.

Sending it out to scout for them alien bastards.

And these are the 3 that I am letting out of the craft for the Mission. Being this is a Very tiny UFO, there only 1 alien. We don't need everyone outside the craft for this.
So I end the turn and...

Out of nowhere one of our guys opens up with reaction fire, the first shot missing.

Second shot also missing but blowing a hole in the wall, the third shot Nails the fucker, killing them in one hit.

Who did it? No Idea It happend in the spawn of 3 seconds.

We won, we got what ever the he'll that modded thing is. But here a fun neat feature of open Xcom.

We can check out the stats gains of our troops, and it seems we found out who our of the 2 (Dogs can't fire guns sadly) was doing the reaction fire. It was Jo Joe. Hot Damn, I think I know which Jo Joe we should name it after, but I'll leave it to you guys.

Yes, because No one else did anything they jumped right up to sergeant rank.

And right after our guys get back, Fuck, a battle ship been picked up on radar, Let's hope we get lucky and it doesn't Raid us.

Aw shit it's coming right at us.

Oh It's passed us, guess we safe from being raided.

Oh nice our shockers are done.

This here is a item you can make in your spare time to sell for a bit of income.
What the fuck are they making? Beats me, but I like to think we hired 20 clones of the TF2 Engineer.

Let's get back to the Geoscope and...

Aw Hell, It not even half way into the first week, and we are already being raided. I think we might have already lost guys if this is one of the Muton Raids.

Might as well equip the shockers(Pretty much tasers) and try to capture one... NEXT TIME ON X-COM BALL Z.

UFOpedia side stuff.

Spoiler

Here we have the UFOpedia, I am keeping this separate from the Main thing because not everyone wants to shift pass stuff they might not care about, and won't move the game along. Only showing a few things here this time. Let's see how big X-ComCraft page.

Yeah there a lot, mind you this is just the crafts page, there still other subpages, that may or may not be bigger.

Under the base facilities Section of the main page I spoted this. A Gas hall.

In other words, We are the Nazi's, and the aliens are the Jews.

let's check this one as well.

War, War never changes.

The Hell is this fansty stuff.

Apples are also a thing.

Mind you we start the game we all these, No idea if you guys want to me show them to ya.

What strange sounds? Why is this a thing.

is it really strange then?


Anyway that all the UFOpedia stuff I care to show this update.

 

[Agent of Z.O.G.]

My bet is on animu girls fighting space deathclaws with biotic powers in 5 episodes.

That's X-Piratez and it's amazing.
So amazing OP should play it instead.

 

[ChucklesTheJester]

That's X-Piratez and it's amazing.

If I wanted to play a good X-com mod I wouldn't be Let's playing it, and posting it on KF for people to laugh at me.

But If this thread is that well liked, I wouldn't mind trying a good mod for once. I hear X-Files is pretty good as well.

EPSIODE 2: "That's a crock-a-shit."

Spoiler

This is where everyone started on this raid, with the last four there on the upper levels of our base.

Let's start by Using JOJO to check the hangers.

Oh, Ohhh. The Fuck is that thing? Is that meant to be the stand in for those Naked Grey Mr x's the intro showed us?.

and Also a civ, thankfully because this is our base, that means we don't have to save them, and they are free to die. They work for us, and X-com will cover up the death.

Yeah moving was a bad idea the alien shooting at us. Thankfully it is as bad of a shot as us.

I move JOJO into that room for cover, and all the units upstairs downstairs.

I moved our Missle launching Tank into a spot to where I can shoot this modded in abomination. If it happens to hit the civ, oh well.

Ayyy, it landed a behind it, but still kill it. Bonus is no innocent blood was shed.

We moving Null up to the top left hanger to check it. As you might have guessed. They in here as well.

We move these two up as well, going need to flank them from this room.

Sorry about the image but Dogs don't Give us that good of Vision so this is what the game showed me for Null Being shot.

and killed. Well Rip our Attack dog. Copyright claims, and Legal C&D might not affect him, but getting shot sure does.

And shit we can't see but hear going on down here as well. Sounded like that Civ died.

Oh and here as well. No idea why we can see the wounded body, but not who shot them. And Yeah that blood Icon is a neat touch for telling who is Fatally wounded. Rather then just straight dead and on the floor.

Sent out tank up, didn't like what I saw in a screen cap I forgot to take.

And Shot a missile in.

Yeah those barrels we saw on the sides of the hanger. They are Made of Explodium, our explosion triggered both sides and this caused all of them to go Kaboom. Also we can see the Modded in variant(at least I think it's a variant) of a cyberdisc these aliens are using.

Thankfully Unloading 13 more missiles with the Cheap (only 60 TU, for like 5-6 of them) Auto Fire took the fucking thing down.

Let me tell you know If we didn't have this thing, we would have never killed that Terror Weapon with our bad guns.

I moved our guys up, We gonna pop out and try to ambush any aliens that are in the hanger then pop back in for safety.

I also move our Platform back to keep watch of the hallway, and show that one of the missiles hit the wall and the explosion reached into the hallway. That missing wall piece was from that disk shooting and missing us.

On the aliens turn. They pop into our ambush at a Very bad time. Turns out when you try to ambush the aliens but they smart and ambush you when you are out of TU's.

This guy pops out takes a few shots at the tank.

Looks like Han solo Didn't shoot first this time. I wsa also pretty shocked and forgot to screencap his death. But Look the alien is not even looking. We are Point blank.
I think I know which Joker this is, because the alien.

Never see it com- Oh He survived every shot. Huh. Well fuck.

I Missile this guy, I don't think you need me to say he dies.

I also hide Jojo here. This time My ambush should work.

Yeah on the aliens turn, This guy was kind of piss to have peanuts thrown at the back of his head by joker. Rip Joker. Thats 3 dead.

On Our turn I roll our tank back into the hanger after most of the smoke clear and I spot a second one of these fucks.

I kept volleying missiles at it. Until it died and the wreckage Got blowned up.

Turns out It was only one hot away from dying and I shot a extra 4-5 at it. and lost the wreckage. Oh well.

I Move the tank back up here, and move the units around a bit. I am trying very hard to keep them out of the hallways so the tank can eat up any thing shot at us.

I move childs up on our turn, as we didn't see any of the aliens. So it was all hidden Movement. Yeah look what we spot. Must have been the fucker that kill two of our guys, and the dog.

And Childs is not even gonna risk being anywhere close to the fucker.

But look who can ambush me. SEE IT PAYED OFF.

Oh, Oh no I might want to rethink my plan here.

Don't worry she used the joestar family's secret technique. She is safe and sound.

More hidden movement, and when I have JoJO open the door. HAHA EVEN CLOSER NOW WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO AMBUSH EM.

Shocked it once and it still standing.

But a second shock did it. Also for some reason it's bleeding.

OH MAYBE THIS IS THE ONE JOKER SHOT. Nice.

I also looked back saw that one was still there, and move jo back as much as I could to try to keep her covered. So far JoJo been the most useful human we have had.

And on the off chance she needs back up, I move childs close by to make sure any attackers can be attacked back next turn.

Oh shit it' walking by

and kept walking. Maybe it didn't see us.

This fucker popped out of the Lift and shot at the tank. And thankfully being a heavy armored tank

Iced em.

I also hide them both in here for the ambush.

Another one pops out shooting. Aliens are not really that smart, they are not hurting the tank, but keep shooting it.

Hahaha.

And I move these two up. No sign of that alien that walked by.

This is the right top hanger after blowing that alien at the hanger up, We move our tank tank here to check to see if any aliens are in this unchecked hanger.

Oh. Gonna need more then one missile for this.

I also start moving Glaucoma Joe up given he has our best weapon at the moment. The Gernade Launcher.

ALiens don't like Me parking outside the hanger.

Oh that far more then I thought was in there. And that our last shot.

More barrels explode because of that shot as well. Removing any bodies of the one alien are missile killed.

It killed 1, and wounded badly the other one. So I guess. Good last shot. Still have the problem that our weapons just tickle the assholes of these aliens.

I move these two around. Checking every corner.

Top left hanger is clear, sure it was stupid I sent jo in alone, but She fine she would have dodged any bullets anyway.

They moved, and I need a good plan.

So the Plan is to use our Armored tank as a shield and take pot shots from behind it, or move it encase we need a better shot.

So Uh about that, it didn't work out as planned and Joe got shot. oops.

I move Joe to the side,shoot, and he misses. Not even close.

Thankfully our tank blocked all shots. (One of them has like a minigun or something.)

I think it hit them. They didn't take any damage so I wouldn't know.

Hard to see but, Left corner Joe got hit.

and killed. Whoops. I did say I was inept, and a chucklefuck.

I move it back so I can get two other guys behind it for cover.

Everyone left but JoJo I moved here.

I move it up.

and these two.

I at one point move JoJo up encase those two die.

Our tank blocks most if not all the bullets.

then Move it to the side, shoot at them (Missing most shots you two fucks.)

And repeat. It's not a bad tactic.

Fucker moves up,and we move up with it stilling this tatic.

But child's is standing on the corpse of one of the aliens let's see what it looks like.

Or doesn't look like.

NO INVENTORY SPRITE. 10/10. And Yes the fat aliens are called mongorn.

Looks like our tank is holding strong.

Or Not. the Alien killed our tank. Uhhhh FUCK.

Welp thats another one dead, To think chris-chan outlasted Null. tis a pity.

So childs walks up and tasers the fucker with a shocker. KOing the alien.

The Mission didn't end meaning. WE GOING ON A BUG HUNT TO FIND THE REMAINING ALIENS

Let's check up here.

Oh fuck.

Didn't have enough TU to go all the way down. this is gonna end bad.

Oh it missed.

Jo Jo been lucky so far, let's see if She can stay lucky.

That ZZZ means the alien is knocked out but not bleeding.

Notice that text at the top.

Not sure if it's from normal OpenX-com or extended, but you can have BUGHUNT mode activate after a set amount of turns.

This will show enemies locations on the mini map.

Like this.

Let's send Jojo in she has so far proven the most lucky, and best unit.

In the Wise words of bubsy the Bob cat.

Let's park her here and go up next turn.

Whoops. Best unit dead now. That can't be good.

So we gonna send childs to the meat grinder room and replace Jojo.

What WHAT? WHAT! Just walks out of the room and back in. Like it noticed childs and turned around.

So we shock it till it drops. Again? I think this was the guy jo jo shocked upstairs. Could it have gotten up so quickly?

Okay Round 2.

we let him sit here as bait. Maybe the alien will come down.

Or be waiting up there for us.

I have him hide here, and pass a few turns in hopes he come down. Nope.

I can't spot it on this side, so I am gonna send him to the other stairs.

He gets shot at. It misses, but still a close call.

I have him rush up there and shock him right after he miss that shot on us.
It's now or never and child's did it.

Aww fuck there still another one left in the room by the hanger. Hey Wait didn't I have one of our pilots over there.

Oh. Oh yeah and He died and I forgot to screen cap it during that fight between child and the invader.
Whoops.

Yes This means Childs Is our last guy.

It's Him Vs any fucker left.

You know this turned into some Alt universe fan fiction of THE THING Minus THE THING.

And and AND

Oh no is there one left? Did I forget one?

WE DID IT WE FUCKING DID IT. WOOO THE LET'S PLAY IS STILL ON. WE HAVN'T LOST YET MEN!.

Notice How I still got a "Good" Rating depsite everyone else dying. Maybe I am not as shitty as I thought I was at X-com.

Look at all our loot.
Reticulan fairy? The fuck is that? DROPA DISC? Maybe next time we can see if we can use any of these things.

He fucking deserves it.

Here is everyone we lost. May they live on in our Cold Harden Black hearts.

 

[Grotesque Bushes]

Glaucoma Joe died as he lived, legally blind and unaware of his surroundings.

 

[ChucklesTheJester]

Glaucoma Joe died as he lived, legally blind and unaware of his surroundings.

There nothing stopping me from just naming someone in a new batch after him.

Maybe Glaucoma Joe Jr, or Glaucoma Joe 2: Judgement Day. Very few people have asked for soldiers to be named.

 

[ChucklesTheJester]

Hey Guys just want to give a little spoiler for the next disappointing update, which might be later today, or tomorrow.

Spoiler

I just want to say this now. Sometimes ya just can't win a mission, no matter how hard ya try.

 

[Grotesque Bushes]

Why can't you arm your dog with a chainsaw?

 

[ChucklesTheJester]

Why can't you arm your dog with a chainsaw?

Right hand is a motion sensor, and left is a melee Bite attack.

Can't remove those "items" out of a dogs hands. If I could I would for the chainsaw.

 

[GnomeofDoc]

Right hand is a motion sensor, and left is a melee Bite attack.

Can't remove those "items" out of a dogs hands. If I could I would for the chainsaw.

We need a Kiwi farms mod to give the dogs chainsaws and miniguns.

 

[ChucklesTheJester]

EPSIODE 3:Dog Soldiers

Spoiler

As we can see only one item we got from the base raid is at all researchable.

Of course we are buying new cannon fodder to replace the cannon fodder we lost. And JoJo.

Sadly we still too full of stuff to reasonably buy items.

So we selling everything but the stuff our Brain trust can look at. Those Fresh Bodies are not gonna pay for themselves.

ALso selling the extra 3 meteor launcher we started with for our crafts. All this extra space means one thing.

We have room for some guns. But I'll be honest with all you, so far Running at the aliens to close to gap and be able to hit em hasn't done us any favors. Let's play like a bunch of 7 year old Halo kids and Load up on a bunch of snipers, and ammo.

We also nabbing 2 high explosives and just showing you guys a tiny bit of what we can buy at the start. Mostly just some of the melee stuff and grenades. There a ton of guns, and other stuff we don't have space for.

We spot a landed UFO, sadly we have zero pilots. Skyranger takes 2.

Our guns and soldiers show up, still need another pilot before we can do a mission.


Now it's time to meet our new victims Crew Members.

The Son of the blind who is also blind.

Which natsume? Pick your favorite.

Let's hope his name doesn't mean he can't hit anything.

Nobodies as low Heath as Gaston. No ones as good as throwing as Gaston. For there's no man in town half as manly. Perfect, a pure paragon

If we gonna be naming dogs silly things why not after the worst Best OC.

“He who controls the battlefield, controls history.”

Son of a bitch another thing we can't do and can go away. We need our other new guys to show up first.

And this is where the mission spawned. It's in Piaui according to the map I found on google.

Also our brain trust got done with this so here what it is.

And this is what I am tasking them to look at next.

Of course I am filling every spot with them so when I do need to build stuff they be 3 days quicker.

Yes we can now do the mission.

In the future when YouTube fun bucks dry up do to aliens. he Joins X-com.

Named spooky because I was half reading This thread when playing this at the time.

I hear he was a system admin, who knew his way around and how to hack things.

I won salt betting on Twitch Chan before. And Lost salt do to traps, and not knowing how OP twitch-chan was.

He Protect us from the Evil Aliens and VIC.

It's also the %chance he has to live by the end of this update.

Here on X-com Tales.

Disco is never dead here.

And with our second pilot I loaded up the skyranger with our stuff and Let's get started.

Perhaps this is a Bad Idea.

The son takes up his father old gun, and some High explosives.

No one shows us how default loadout for almost everyone else like Gaston.

"People call mercenaries like us "Dogs of War." But you're different. You are a Wolf... You will die the proud wolf you are. "

Suddenly we are XCom 2 now. Pictured here. Nothing that has anything to do with this map.

Stepping right off the ranger, Gordon spots something.

What in the fucking hell? The More we see the weirder enemies look.

Just showing the TU to ACC costs of the sniper rifles.

Jr pops out and gets in position.

Despite having AP ammo he hit it. Good on him, Proving he already better then his father.

Then Recoil spots this. Yeah As you might have already guessed from that spoiler I posted. This is a werewolf.

Why is it a werewolf during day time?
Why does it have a gun?
Why does it have terror type HWP units.
Where is wolf?

It's a hit. Doesn't seem like it did much damage if any, but given this is xcom who knows.

Thankfully the alien units aim about as well as rookies and miss a ton.

IJr takes out the HE and primes it to 0.

So for anyone doesn't know. A nice built in option for OpenXcom is having Gernades explode after they are thrown if you set them to 0 turns.
They won't go off in your hands, only after they "somehow" hit the floor be it because you threw it or the unit drops it.

Sadly out of range so we can't throw it yet.

Snake spots another one.

"War... has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles fought by mercenaries and machines. War, and its consumption of life, has become a well-oiled machine. "

This is like 70% of the screenshots. The aliens shooting. Us Shooting, and things moving. I'm gonna cut most of it out as Being told. Durrrr Aliens shot and miss, for the 40th time gets dull to read.

and after some boring rounds of stand off MORE ENEMIES POP UP. Green means Jr only know the the enemies are around do to the other members of the squad seeing them, where Red is enemies he can see himself.

even after moving Jr up some he out of range.

After another dull turn, we move him up and he gets to throw it.

Yeah he hit it, and it still alive. We are fighting some tough enemies.

Oh I should also mention Non of the other enemies have died yet. Even after being hit by our snipers. No idea if sliver bullets are a thing I can buy, but I wish we had some.

Showing off some of the other WWs, and a second Terror weapon that came out of Hiding during the enemie turn.

And this is when I remember I brought sonichu along. Oops. Oh well might as well put them to use.

Jr takes out the second HE and primes it as well.

WE DID IT GUYS WE KILL ONE. ALL IT TOOK was both of our only HE's and there still a second one of these things on the map.

Hmm You know maybe bringing a ton of sniper rifles was a really bad idea.

You might also notice the purple and blue number.

Blue I think is wounded(maybe bleeding wounded), and purple I think is non bleeding wounded.

Despite our weapons doing diddle le shit to the enemies they pack a bit of a punch.

That little smoke effect is a bullet hitting. Mind you this is 8th direct hit on this unit AND THEY STILL WONT DIE.

Sending Sonichu up using the trees for makeshift cover.

This is what one of the weapons the WW shoot at us do. Cause tiny blue flames effects.

Looks deadly.

Jr misses this shot sadly.

This could end badly.

Something I really don't like about this map is tree look small. That or everyone is giant.

Thankfully this WW must also be a rookie becuse they MISS EVERYSHOT EVEN AT THIS CLOSE OF RANGE.

That right Our first confirmed WW kill is by Dog biting it to death.
Where our Bullets don't seem to phase them, our Dog bite is far worse then it's bark.

Loading up Explosive rounds JR hits. Again Jr aim seems to be mostly spot on this mission.

I spot this as well. Is that meant to be the tower? Why is there a blue sparring robot next to the door?

More hiding behind cover and the aliens missing.

Jr HITS AGAIN.

Now Sure everyone is hitting, but Jr is blind and not using a Sniper rifle. So him hitting is crazy.

More Sneaking By Soild Dog here.

thank God we don't employ trees or this would be us right now.

Maybe we do employ trees because right after they hit that stump of a tree they hit natsume. Insta death.

God damn it.

Have me speak up and bite the WW In the asses.

You know fucking what.

IT WORKS. It killed them both.

Hot Damnwe have a chance.

Also for what ever reason one of them had a chainsaw.

Like Father, Like son.

Spooky out of ammo so I make me drop the sniper on our stash of items so I can better plan what to use when they have more TU.

Guess who got hit after they panicked last turn and RAN TOWARDS THE WW, AND OUT OF FORMATION.

Fatality!

Go figure the WW moved and not only burned a lot of the cover, but hit our dog. Surprisingly it lived.

so the Plan here is Spooky taking the taser and is going to rush a WW to stun it.

And Jr Suddenly starts missing every shot and ate up all the Eploive ammo he had.

I board them up so they can safely dropped the guns that have no ammo.

Also I only packed ammo so every gun had 1 Clip.

And on turn end.

All this means is that the Stun the unit had Got higher then the HP left. Thanks to the bleeding, HP dropped under the stun amount.

The plan is simple Just going to toss are small grenades at them hope it kills them.

Using more AP rounds.

This means that the stunned unit died. We will miss you Sonichu.

Doesn't seem like it noticed us.

At this point our only bet is to use these Our guns don't even dent the enemy.
And our WW killing dog is dead.

That smoke was caused by a Missed grenade.

Well Oops turns out running at the enemies got recoiled killed, he also was the one who missed throwing the grenade.

I GUESS IT HAD TOO MUCH RECOIL! And I'll take my DUMB's now.

Not like we could do much.

WHY CAN'T YOU BE LIKE THE REAL SNAKE AND NOT PANIC EVERY TIME SOMEONE DIES.

Spooky stunned them. Nice

No one primes a grenade like Gaston.

Just checking if we could use anything it dropped. Nope.

I thought this wall was a door. I was stupid.

Later I figure out that blue thing is standing in front of a door.

Nobody is unable to throw Like Gaston.

that there was freeman I think. I think I was using him as bait to try to lure the enemy closer.

Priming both of them. SNAKE WILL HAVE HIS REVENGAGE! next turn.

This is also when I remembered OH WAIT THAT WW HAD A CHAINSAW. and Beelined Spooky to the corpse. I am pretty damn forgetful.

Gordon died. Straight up got shot, and killed. Maybe neutrlized just means killed. I have no idea with this MOD.

After gaston threw his one grenade I kind of forgot he was here.

Sure the enemy missed but I kept forgetting he was here. This will come back to bite me later.

Snake disappointments me.

Brightside Jr keeps hitting.

And after like 3-4 turns of bee lining Spooky got a chainsaw.

"Aaah! Chainsaw! The great communicator!"

Snake being useful and threw a grenade and hit.

This is Jr he panic-ed and ran. Might be because he noticed HIS GUN WASN'T DOING MUCH IF ANY DAMAGE.

No one steals a Gernade after the commander remembers he is on this team, like Gaston.

Having spooky sneak up on the enemies. It takes a while because of low Enegery.

Even after getting the gun back he can't fire because he has no Line of direct sight. FUCKING TREES.

Oh yeah QP is still alive as well. Huh I have a problem where I forget everyone I have tag along.

Getting closer.

"Rip and tear rip and... TEAR RIP AND TEAR... RIP AND TEAR YOUR GUTS! YOU ARE HUGE! THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE GUTS! RIP AND TEAR!"

Jr being Jr.

Rip.

If you remember quarter had a Primed Gernade it exploded after he died. Now he is Minced Meat.

having spooky get closer and closer.

WHEN

Gaston who I forgot for about the third or fourth time get backs attacked and killed out of nowhere.

Yeah remember that WW we stunned. He woke up and wasn't too happy.

it takes a lot of turns of just Running at it attacking once or twice and then hiding and waiting for the energy to refill.

During the middle of this.

It takes a while but we Chainsawed it to death. Fuckin metal.

I bright out the taser because that guy has to be the last one right?

Nope the mission didn't end. So I put thechainsawback on.

and kill it so it doesn't wake up.

This is when I was like.
Oh thats the door.

With the blue thing gone let's go kill the maybe one or two enemies left.

Oh.. Oh no.

We came to the wrong nighbor hood.

we kill one and hope they miss.

Well at least now after a genderbend, they can build a mansion full of jump scares.

So the plan was send Joe up,there likely that one left right? just grab the Chainsaw and kill it.

Nope turns out there are 3 of them left.

Did I say 3? I meant five.

Nope Jr right the fuck out of there on to the skyranger and cut my losses.

still got a positive score.

Let's buy more units.

More snipers.

IT WAS JUST A FLUKE THAT THE ENEMIES WAS IMMUNE TO BULLETS.

Jr proven he should get a real Missile launcher.

We can make these, and they only good for selling.

Lastly More of these given how good they are.

 

[Grotesque Bushes]

Junior brings honor to the Glaucoma name. I've never been so proud to be a stepfather.
Also, bring more explosives. Every problem in the game can be solved with explosives.
