I request to enlist in this foolish endeavour.

I also request an Autocannon loaded with explosive ammo, and as many spare rounds as I can carry. I assume it's as stupidly destructive as in the original X-COM?

earlier in it was better, but imo it's still worth while to have at least a handful of guys with it even till the end. They have come out with some kinda thing that makes explosive a lot less effective but it's still good against packs of rear end in a top hat aliens.

E: there's some late game techs I plan on hacking into the autocannons too

"Uh, yes, I am an Agent of..._{poo poo... what was it... uh...} this fine organization? I would like to request one of the big guns with the big explody shells please. And spare ammo. All the spare ammo".

Raid Warehouse 5. If you get a hit, you can follow up with #4 and kill two poppers with one stone.

Buy more vehicles. Those UFO's are only going to get bigger, and we don't want to get caught short.

Maintaining logistics and supply lines are vital to any war effort, and having Transtellar keep the post coming in leaves us free to handle the important things like brutally owning the Cult of Sirius on a regular basis. We should really buy our way back into their good graces once we have some disposable income.

The mail must get through. Bribe them enough that they're only manhandling our packages and kicking them at the front door of our base from the truck rather than not delivering them at all.

Toxin-B. If we're focusing on our ground game, we need to be able to neutralize hostiles with impunity.

Hire some fresh recruits, let them use the Cult for target practice.

Could you please keep an Autocannon and some explosive ammo aside for if/when I can enlist and put the boot to some alien scum.

The Dimension Probe and The Medium Disruptor Beam. Our ground game's okay, but what we really need right now is some aerial firepower and better aircraft.

We do this the Mega-Primus way; they hit one of our buildings, we erase the whole loving gang.

you cannot ever truly eradicate a faction like this; the best thing you can hope for is to cause so much damage that they will be in debt (and therefore unable to do much) for the duration of the game.

Pushing civilians into massive debt and ruination by destroying their homes and means of income is still the Mega-Primus way.

# ¿ Jan 25, 2019 03:02

Neddy Seagoon: Oct 12, 2012; "Hi Everybody!"

Better plan; We go through their buildings one-by-one, kill everyone inside, take anything that isn't nailed down, and use the tank to level each building before heading on to the next.

Our guys get a lesson in marksmanship, the gangs get a lesson in not crossing us.

I say workshop and shield . Mines are useless, they're just like grenades that you can't throw which defeats the point.

Agreed, Workshop and Shield. Mines are going to be borderline useless for all practical purposes, because those ~~suicial lemmings~~ brave X-Com operatives are always going on the offensive to root out xeno scum that's already entrenched in a building or ship rather than sitting and hoping something will come bumble into a mine.

Engineering bay and staff

Our air game is trash right now, and we need to be able to build ships that can swat down Alien ships before they touch down. It'll also make it easier to produce things we can turn a profit on in the long-term (I presume?).

I told you guys before, we gotta do this the Mega-Primus way; They take a run at one of our bases, we wipe out their entire loving gang. Every building, every vehicle, every gang member we can find, until they're financially ruined.

dang it i'm real sick of slum missions 900,000 times in a row.

it's like 4-3 raid psyke or investigate osiron so I was thinking now might be a good time to expand on diplomacy so just one last revote:
Retaliate vs Psyke: a) raid b) shoot with tanks c) pay off someone else to fight them. This will ff time for one day while we dump their diplomacy data and come up with a list of options Investigate Osiron ⏩ until something else interesting happens

Level every goddamn Psyke building in the city with our Tanks.

Investigate Osiron Warehouse Five. We cant let our new allies get corrupted any further.

Vadun posted:

Just clearing the firing lanes near the dimension gates, nothing to see here.

On the contrary, I think we made it clear what happens if anyone gets between us and protecting the city - we protect the hell out of the city from them.

Also we should probably bribe our way back into good graces with the fuel and elerium companies at some point.

Personal Shield and Medium Disruptor Beam.

The Huge Beam can wait until we're anywhere close to building something that could (I assume) equip it.

Here's a question: I've loved these threads since forever, because xcom nerd. Are there any other games old and goofy enough that they can be hosed with to this degree? That also have the crazy black-box political mechanics based on extortion, bribery, outright theft, murder, and almost-complete ruination of rival factions?
