Ok have a funfact.
You can make a DFlike "danger room" in this game.

How?

Soldiers gain expereince for more than just killing enemies.
Exp is gained by shooting... and GETTING hit so you can clear a map form most enemies and just leave someone to get repetedly hit by a chrysalis for several hours and bam. He has loads of experience once you end the mission.

[Krevsin]

Hey could i get a character too?

He could be a grenader... with a twist.
He has no weapons other than the dozens of frag grenades in his backpack.
No pistol.
No flares.
No Medpack.

Name: Pineapple Joe (or just Pineapple if its too long)

Pineapple will join our service in the next episode! I like to think of him as an artistic medic.

I'd like to claim a soldier.

Name him Krevsin. Give him a shotgun. Why? Because he is a MAN. Or a woman, either suits me just fine.

Krevsin, the woman that's manlier than most men, is already in service as an assault rifle specialist! She excelled at the base mission below, and could easily be reassigned to shotgun duty due to her fantastic speed. Which would you prefer?

Eh, assault rifles are fine. Use burst mode when in close encounters and they're almost as effective as shotguns.

Now, if only this game allowed for women to have beards...

Okay! I have a few episodes queued up, and more coming soon.

I decided to not do the highlights - it takes a while, and I don't know if anyone actually reads them.

Without further ado, behold! Episode 9!

UFO Aftermath: Episode 9, Squad Rotation


I take time to entrench in our current position, and start preparing for expansion. I also bring back two soldiers from the records - McStabby gets resurrected as a cyborg (or so I like to think) and I bring back SimonTheDwarf as I wasn't happy with his very short life. This is a combat-heavy mission, featuring my allegedly fantastic tactical skills! As a result of the heavy combat, we sustain some ah... crew rotations.

Ok so:

If your terrtory has yellow borders it means the base is at risk and a base defense mission (A'la X-Com) may spawn.
If you win it then the base is no longer endangered.

Oh and it'd be nice if pineapple got more grenades since some incendaries would do nice.

[Remuthra]

Actually, I only originally asked for heavy weapons duty. Do what you want, man.

Last I checked, we only have about 10 incendiary grenades left; I'm trying to leave them to everyone else for the "OH SH** THIS ROOM HAS ALL THE RETICULANS!!" scenarios. I might give Pineapple the new Acid grenades I recently found...

I know, but I haven't seen any heavy weapons yet Furthermore, I can't recall which weapon skill they use. I have a few too many people for launcher/throwing weapons, so I can reassign Remuthra to any other weapon as of right now.

[CognitiveDissonance]

As I mentioned, I had more coming up. Here's episode 10!


UFO Aftermath: Episode 10, Reticulans' Bane

We continue the onslaught, and this time take on Reticulans at multiple fronts. Surely they cannot withstand our elite troops. The only worry is, what else do they have in stock for us? And have we seen it all?

One thing for sure - the Aliens are moving into psi tech, and that is not a good sign.

FEEL MY HATE

If by hate you mean rockets, then the reticulans did feel it. If this were a different game, Dr. Vahlen would be VERY upset with you

Well my idea behind Pineapple was to make a dedicated grenade guy using grenades only since frags are so cheap (free in fact) and strong all the way to the endgame, however having 1-2 of every grenade would make him also pretty universal as well.

Also for fighting aliens check the armory for weapons dealing hard damage.
Most alien armors are weak to hard damage making FN P90 and MP7 literal murder machines against them up close, they work just as good (if not better) as shotguns when facing Rets.

[Remuthra]

Hmmm... I get the feeling I'm not quite as good at rocketry as I am at sniping.

Good thinking on the grenades, I'll do that.
As far as Hard Bullets, you sure about that? Krevsin is armed with a Hard rifle, and I've been getting annoyed at the lack of damage. I'll research the armor soon though, to find out. I could google, but that's not fun at all

Hmmm... I get the feeling I'm not quite as good at rocketry as I am at sniping.

Just think about it as rocket sniping. Those rockets are imperative to dealing with the next few things we meet.

Speaking of that... my next episode turned out to be 1 hour long, as I got carried away. I can't decide whether to split it, or just upload as is...

Well i don't want to spoil the game so research and see just how powerful their basic armor is against hard damage  .
Personally i ended my game with the canon ending so i don't know all that much beyond that and some weapons i won't talk about.
