Because Lowtax still has Molten Spine Syndrome i'm giving out 10 forums upgrades in this thread To win an upgrade you gotta sign up to be a goon in the game. 5 of the best posters will get upgrades when we get to the halfway point, the last 5 will get upgrades when we win. If we get game over before halfway then the top ten will win. The first five winners are: 🔫 Agent: Erisian Automata ☣ Biochemist: Captain Billy Pissboy 🛠 Engineer: vorebane ⚛ Physicist: Akratic Method 🛫 Pilot: Coolguye About a year ago I started a gbs style lp of Xcom apocalypse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CUYps6AOZ4 It's the future and there's like one city left on earth. There's different organizations now, sort of like the old games where you got funding from like Japan and the EU or whatever, but now these orgs have different agendas and can become your allies or enemies. Dimension gates opend up and aliens are attacking again. Xcom gets woke up by the senate and we gotta stop this menace and all that poo poo. Got your base building, got your R&D got your agents shooting stuff on the ground, and got some interceptors flying around shooting missiles and stuff. I hosed up and stopped updating, so that thread's marked for archives. I'm gonna restart this sucker, this time we're doing a new map on a harder mode. Bigger city. The orgs have different agendas from last time. It'll be tougher. Goons vote on what we do. Sign up to be an Agent & get shot, or be a Physicist, Biologist, or Engineer & still get shot, or you can have your shitposts uploaded into an Interceptor and get shot down. Everyone can just vote on anything, but if you sign up to be something you get more weight on related votes -- ex biologists get more say in what alien rear end we check out, agents get more say in what mission to run. I keep track of stats so when we get to the halfway point of the game the surviving MVP from each department will get an avatar, and we'll do the same thing for the endgame. Honky Dong was also gonna do this for the last thread but he's out wrenching protons IRL or whatever. I kept the old stats from before and we'll see how things go. I think some of those goons might be banned now idk. pre:XCOM DEATH SCROLL _______________________ __ ___ __ ___ __ ___ __ ___ =(__ ___ __ _)=| guns for tits | /| Who What Now | | | | 0 kills, 1 down |/ | 9 days, 7 missions | | Dong Quixote | | 1 combat flight | | 4 kills | | Rookie | | SHOT DOWN by | | BLED OUT due to | | 1 day, 1 mission | | Alien Shitpile | | critical wounds | | zero kills | | | | | | BRAINSUCKED & | | The Protagonist | | The Cubelodyte | | laid to rest by | | Squad Leader | | 15 days, 9 missions| | The Cubelodyte | | 7 days, 7 missions| | 16 kills | | | | 12 kills | /| VAPORIZED by | | "Captain" | | DETONATED by |/ | Alien disruptors | | Billy Pissboy | | Popper attack | | | | 1 day, 0 missions | | | | Professor Shark | | zero kills | | Luvcow | | 0 days, 0 missions | | VAPORIZED by | | Squaddie | | 0 kills | | Cultist Plasma | | 14 days, 9 missions| | BLOWN UP by | | | | 7 kills | | Cult Rocketry | | 420 Gank Mid | | VAPORIZED by | |__ ___ __ ___| | 2 kills, 2 downs | | Alien disruptors |=(_______________________)= | 4 combat flights | | | | SHOT DOWN by | | Fart Puzzle | | Alien Shitpile | | Squaddie | | | | 12 days, 9 missions| | Nine of Eight | | 4 kills | | 1 kill, 1 down | /| BRAINSUCKED & | | 2 combat flights |/ | laid to rest by | | SHOT DOWN by | | Junk | | Alien Shitpile | | | | | | Junk | | Penguin Salsa | | 13 days, 7 missions| | 0 kills, 1 down | | 7 kills | | 2 combat flights | | VAPORIZED by | | SHOT DOWN by | | Alien disruptors | | Alien Shitpile | /|__ ___ __ ___| |__ ___ __ ___|/ Here's our first base. Technically we're in the basement of this warehouse. The circled red guy icon represents that we have agents there. The location sucks and we're in the far southwest of the city, and the base layout blows. What do we name the base? Write it in or don't. After we get 6 goons to sign up for combat duty we'll run the first mission. Once you get past rookie you can pick your weapons if you want.

Put me in coach, this time as a shooter (android if you got one or human if you don't). Kinda wonder what the odds are on dying by launcher explosion vs irl alchemist basement chemical explosion. Dong Quixote fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Nov 3, 2018 |

Dong Quixote posted:Put me in coach, this time as a shooter (android if you got one or human if you don't). Much more likely launcher malfunction. We don't have any androids yet because we're not friends with the Sentient Engine Liberation Front. If we get in good with them androids will start to be available to recruit. 420 Gank Mid posted:
zenguitarman posted:Hell yeah, I wanna be a dope interceptor. We only have like 5 vehicles, and 1 is the decent actual interceptor, we got 2 flying cars, and 2 ground transports. We don't have enough cash to blow on buying more interceptors atm, so unless one of you wants to be a car you're gonna have to wait till we get more cash. Or we can say gently caress it and blow the initial money on spaceships. I did order some machine guns, and I took a vid of the delivery guys flying from the arms factory to our base, but the map is so goddamn big this time it's not fuckin uploading for some reason.

https://i.imgur.com/cdbJJdm.gifv alright we got 10 hardened rookies ready for combat. We only have 6 machine guns so the two strongest motherfuckers will get AUTOCANNONS instead, and the last two can just dick off in the base while the mission goes. Gank Mid is loaded up as the interceptor, zen is the APC (it's literally an APC that can hold like 16 motherfuckers and shoots rockets) Cube & luvcow are in, we've got max agent recruitment atm. In order to load researchers into the game I have to actually mod the save so i'll get our scientists in in between missions. Cockler gets spooked by firearms so Lurkbeast takes that spot on the list for agent recruits. Jose is on the list for future recruits. For the first mission, instead of investigating for aliens, I traditionally raid the Cult of Sirius. They're hosed up assholes who worship the aliens, and they'll do anything they can to help them take over the city. Therefore we'll kick the doors in, kill everything that has a metabolic system, and steal everything not nailed down.
It doesn't really matter what one you pick, we just don't want to hit the same place over and over again. All of these places are very close to our initial base so don't worry about wasting gas.
