Re: XCOM EW Long War Settings, Equipment & Tactics.

I've checked my settings twice and can't see where I enabled Ludicrous Difficulty, but I clearly have... Everything started out gently enough. Chose North America for the Air & Space bonus and for my earnest belief that if I can't return to a cold Sam Adams, a bowl of chilli cheese fries and at leas...

Re: XCOM EW Long War Settings, Equipment & Tactics.

Thanks again for the advice.

Hey, wait a minute!

Did you just post "that some Chryssalids have Lightning Reflexes"??

Chryssalids that can dodge incoming fire? In the early game when my troops have basic rifles and kevlar armour? Yikes...

Re: XCOM EW Long War Settings, Equipment & Tactics.

Thanks for your insight. I meant which version of the LW Mod should I run? Beta 13 is the latest and greatest I believe. On your recommendations, I'll start on Normal difficulty in Ironman mode so I don't fanny about with re-loading games every time I do something stupid and try harder not to do any...

XCOM EW Long War Settings, Equipment & Tactics.

Not wishing to clutter up either of the excellent LW playthroughs with my gibberings, I thought I'd start this thread... I'm looking to start an LW campaign on Classic Impossible and would be interested to people's thoughts on the following: - Which version of LW? - Second Wave options - HE Vs. AP g...

Woo hoo! I'm coming home a hero Ma!

Most likely a closed casket funeral due to eating a face full of plasma on my next mission...

Re: Carson's Long War (X-COM: EW / LW vignettes)

I think Recruit Terminal Boy's combination of bone-headed determination and lack of tactical awareness would make him an ideal Run 'n' Gun Assaulter or possibly Overwatch breaking Scout. "Run Terminal, Run!"... "Stop Terminal, stop and shoot that alien in the face!" If he lives long enough, he'd mak...

Re: Carson's Long War (X-COM: EW / LW vignettes)

Agreed! There should be at least one trooper who's always looking the wrong way/is in the wrong place/has his weapon in the wrong fire mode/has a chemlight equipped instead of a frag... The type of trooper you select for a mission only because everyone useful is wounded and it's the janitor's day off.

Re: [Sun] 31 Aug 2014 (Welcome to Bravo Channel)

CSAT's derpitude was magnitudes greater than AAF's.. It was 100% my fault as I was: 1. Expecting the enemy to appear by the white farm building lower down the slope and had set my rifle to semi to give more accuracy. 2. Busy examining a cache of TigerShark's transexual porn and not paying full atte...

Ferrard,

By what sorcery do have both a small map PIP'd and open doors without using the action menu?
