I'm glad I'm alive in your play through. What am I?

I recommend, and I'm sure you know this, stabilizing 3 continents....and when they start to panic, hit the alien base for a full -2 modifier world wide to panic. It stabilized, for me, Europe where I am stationed, North America, Asia, and Africa. So all I have lost is South America.

And now I have time to begin second phase research on Titan Armour, Plasma weapons, SHIV, and upgraded fighters.

Yeah I beat the game already so I know that one, it's the most useful mission in the entire game in that regard.

You sir are a Heavy and you were my go to heavy for a while so keeping you alive was vital as is keeping that initial team of guys who are levelling up. Satja is a bad ass Sniper but of a different type to what I usually do since she's more of a mobile Sniper as opposed to Niina being a squad sight Sniper. I nicknamed Satja 'Kameira' by the way. Smile

Galm Fae is now Galm 'Warrior Nine' Fae as he has reached the rank of Sergeant. I'm not quite sure what to nickname Niina so for now she is Niina 'Zero' Eskola with the current highest kill count at 16 followed by Kador's 14 and Denak's 11.

This is pretty much the sign up board as well as the logs of our adventures as XCOM commanders. It can be a little depressing really. Especially since I'm playing on Classic and the game likes to kick your teeth in on Classic since the jump from normal to classic as absolutely ridiculous. It's interesting how after the same mission I lost Demel I gained Sergeant Maximia Beflas (Support). RIP Demel you took some of the bastards out before you died. Galm would be pleased to know that Niina is turning in to one badass sniper. I have to swap her out with Satja so that Satja can get some field experience as a Sniper before things escalate too much. Kador and Galm are both Heavies. Denak is currently my only Assault so I'm desperately fighting to keep him alive. I'm a Support so yay. Foley is Support and Doniken is Support. Yun Hee Ryeon has yet to specialise due to being heavily wounded in her first mission. Currently the only relevant deaths have been Demel and Heathen Bastard who both died on their first missions. The only other death was an unnamed rookie who died in the game's very first mission. (I don't play the tutorial.) Author of Umbra's Short Stories. Last story posted 11/20/2013.

Yeah Galm....died horribly during one fateful mission.... It wasn't your fault though......... as loathe as I am to admit this...Leithe went....well he got Mind controlled..... during the brief 3 turns he was under enemy control he was dead centre of my battle line....he killed Galm, critically wounded Satja at which point I decided to mercilessly cut him down..... It was a dark day.... so far though Niina is badass. She has 3rd highest kill count in my squad behind Col. Callie "Dakka" Vines - 23 Col. Nathan "Twitch" Locke - 21 Maj. Niina "Longbow" Eskola - 19 "All things were created by the Divine, and so the glory of our faith is inherent to us all"

Jakar Umbra Militaires-Sans-Frontieres 397	Posted - 2013.11.25 03:19:00 - [46] - Quote Following the success of the first terror mission during which Lt. Niina Eskola, Sergeant Jakar umbra, Sgt. Kador Ouryon and Sgt Maximia Beflas kept their cool and emerged unscathed even in the face of a dangerous and terrifying new enemy to be revealed as a Chryssalid, troop morale has increased (just playing it up) and a rash of success across the board for XCOM begins to occur. Denak was unfortunately wounded prior to that mission and was unable to bring his wrath to the battlefield. Fear not Heathen you gave everything the bird, including the bastard that killed you. With XCOM's next directive to capture a live alien, and preparations for the construction of the facilities to house captives being made, hopefully this rash of successes can continue.

Poplo Furuya Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 725	Posted - 2013.11.25 04:45:00 - [50] - Quote If you get the opportunity it's totally worth playing the original X-COM games. It'll also make you realise how easy Enemy Unknown and Within go on you. Nothing quite like an Ethereal base and everyone murdering each other, Mutons raiding your base with Blaster Launchers. And Lobstermen, my god, Lobstermen. Have had them survive two rounds of a Disruptor Pulse Launcher which is akin to a small nuke in destructive power. Vibro blades and thermic lances are the only expedient methods of engagement. And that's not to mention the headache of nations reducing funding and signing treaties with the aliens on the sly at the worst possible time, new bases inevitably getting attacked while airspace activity dwindles to nothing within the area you finally got a proper setup for. Door opening was also a more dangerous business in those days, designated point man's not a nice job. The usual warning that there's a Blaster Launcher wielding alien around the corner is an explosion accompanied by a scream. Did I mention that Blaster Launchers are smart low-yield guided nukes? They can flit around terrain across the several waypoints the wielder inputs, weaving around and above obstacles to detonate at their terminus with incredible force. But enough of that, you've got a war to win. Never give in, never surrender. Tradition is that X-COM are buried 7-feet under when they fall as, having died in protection of the Earth, they are closer to it than anyone.

I recent weeks the XCOM project applied itself to the study of the alien creatures known as the Sectoid Commanders. Our scientists devised a means of seeking out and amplifying natural psionic power within humans. 9:01 August 8th 2015, the first human psionic was successfully awakened and deployed with high ranking XCOM personell to the warzone to test his new found powers. Leithe Askarii now appears to be humanities greatest hope for survival against the alien menace. Col Nathan Locke Maj Aisha Neumann were tested for psionic powers and were unsuccessful.
