https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CUYps6AOZ4&hd=1 Xcom Apocalypse, the last of the original xcoms, and the "weird" one. I'm gonna play this game and goons can sign up for various roles to try and SAVE THE EARTH  Agents are pretty much soldiers. In the original plan for the game they would also be pilots but a shitload of features got cut.  Biologists research alien slimes or w/e and won't fight unless the base gets attacked, in which case they can get easily murdered.  Physicists look at computer printouts all day and think of lasers but other than that are the same as boilogists.  Enigneers play with legos and print out new guns but otherwise are the same as researchers.  Pilots are not really "in" in a mechanical sense, but you can rename cars and if you sign up to do it we'll put you in the vehicle you want. This is almost certainly going to be hands-down the most dangerous job during the early game and the starter interceptors and stuff are absolutely trivially destroyed by aliens. This time will be a little different from the earlier threads, because we're going to do the absolute hardest of the hardcore modes: Superhuman Difficulty, ironman style. No matter what happens there will be zero reloads, even if I accidentally get everyone completely murdered. (one time we accidentally blew up an overpass while driving on it and everyone died. One time i had someone try to jump across a tiny gap and they slipped and fell 9 stories to their death. One time a goon tried to throw a stun grenade and gassed the entire squad, etc etc)  This also means not only is everything more deadly, but the map is actually different. It's completely jam packed with every kind of building and a bunch of organizations who have different agendas and alliances, and not only will the aliens continually try to kill us, if we run afoul of an org we might end up making human enemies. Last time one of the political parties freaked out because we just so happened to cause catastrophic damage to a broadcast tower, so they started sending raids to try and destroy our bases. Here's our first base:   Jesus, what an abysmal setup. If we get attacked the nerds and the medbay are DIRECTLY next to where hostiles will enter, they can only come through the garage and the purple access lift. We might want to think about replacing those with security stations. We're located at the far west side of the city, could be better positioned, could be worse. We can buy more bases later. But for now, we need to name the first base: Post what the name should be! Next is Recruits! We have 10 agents, and 5 of each kind of nerd. We also have 5 cars for pilots.  Be warned, if you die in the game you get probated on the forums! To make it fair if I let anyone die I too will be probed! Post if you've got the GRIT to INDISCRIMINATELY DESTROY aliens/civilians/gangsters/cops/cultists/houses/farms/apartments/ufos

Jihad Joe posted:I am a bad enough dude to rescue the president  in. you got a specific loadout you're thinking of, otherwise i'm gonna put goons on machinegun duty until they get decent accuracy. Also I can change faces/genders if anyone wants zenguitarman posted:I heard you were looking for a man of true grit. Any particulars?  the APC at the bottom is probably going to get the most use for a long time, gotta get these goons transported. The flying interceptors are probably going to get shot down immediately. The middle three are sorta-ok cars that'll probably end up as small time transports for littler bases, assuming they don't get vaporized before then. mind the walrus posted:I want a surprise probe when I eventually die. Throw me to the alien wolves.  Also in. same as anyone else i can configure your deets, otherwise you get this except machine gun

zenguitarman posted:Feeling lucky with the interceptors, but I'll take the big apc  loaded in. When we get a chance we'll be upgrading your engines. Right now your gun options are either the 12 pack of missiles you have now or machine gun module. If we survive long enough you can get upgraded more than that. Right now we got 5 agents, 15 nerds of various flavors, and 3 cars we can load up. Mozi will probably end up as the big interceptor unless they chime in wanting something else. That's an important vehicle we have to have at least one of at all times.

Dumb Sex-Parrot posted:Can I be a biologist? In as team lead. I didn't mod your research skill you just naturally are an 100% effective lab tech. In order to do literally anything you guys will need more samples and so i have you figuring out how to safely transport them   Angry Diplomat posted:I will use whichever weapon is the most indiscriminate until the blade can inflict its bloodlust upon me. either machine gun or something that blows up. we'll figure it out. Plumps posted:I will pilot the flimsiest vehicle we have at maximum speed toward the enemy  good choice. It's the ideal mix of poor quality gun mounts, low mod slots, lovely engines, and small passenger space. The worst of all possible worlds! Electric Hobo posted:I'm broke, so I'll take any job.

I’ll be an engineer playing with Lego.  in. you also are a very skilled technician, but because we don't have any blueprints you literally have no job responsibilities right now, you don't even have to go down to the workshop if you don't want. best bale posted:Put me in coach. I’d like to be a sniper so I can miss in spectacular ways but until then, give me a machine gun Grundma posted:Give me the most useless gun you got please   we have space for 2 more agents, 2 more pilots, and 12 more nerds. Once the agents are filled out then we'll consider our first mission and where to go from there also nobody had any votes for naming the base, it's a warehouse where the front door faces a recycling plant, and out back is a sewage treatment plant. Everything else nearby is needlessly-complicated overpasses and what appears to be the front for a criminal enterprise.

Plumps posted:Can i get out and fight or am i just a bunch of talking LEDs like in knight rider? knight rider. Originally it was supposed to be agents had other stats bars, and one was pilot. There was also stuff like interrogation and other crazy poo poo, but it was all cut. If you live long enough we can download the AI engrams to a better vehicle or if you wanna switch to something else there are androids we can get if we're lucky. Angry Diplomat posted:Yeah this one's good actually, let's do this  we can change it whenever if we want Currently down to 2 agents, 12 nerds, 2 pilots remain. I want all hands on deck for mission 1 who knows what sicko poo poo could be out there and i never played hardcore mode before.
