Brainsuckers. Horrifically deadly in turn-based, absolutely not threatening in real-time.

Yeah. I swear, Genghis took so many brainsuckers in that op it's a miracle he only turned on the last one on the whole map.

W-w-w-wait a second. You can take a brainsucker and not turn? That has never happened to me!

Yup, once in a while someone will keep their brain after a sucker, and in my experience, androids are straight up immune.

Good save, Sally, good save.

And so the slaughter begins.

Didn't see us not failing with only four people.  Why not more?  Strength in numbers!

[Yoink]

I think maybe four was the max for one of the cars?

That's right, Hovercar has max four. Next time I'm sending as many as can fit in the actual interceptor vehicle (12, I think) just in case.

You can fit 12 or 14 guys in the Wolfhound APC iirc - I use that a lot at the beginning of the game if the roads aren't too shot up.  Then I don't have to remember to move guys in and out of the combat vehicles (it SUCKS to lose the Interceptor *plus* a full squad and equipment because I forgot).

Oddly enough you can also have 'em WALK to the site, via the "people tubes" as long as they're not disconnected because of damage.   I've only done this a few times, I usually use the APC 'cause it came free and it's basically good for nothing :p

You can also send multiple vehicles to investigate the same building.  It isn't until you investigate a UFO that you need everyone in the same vehicle.

Using this mod, you can make roads either more durable or indestructible, allowing road vehicles to serve some purpose.

I should also point out that the most significant difference between the original X-Com and Apoc is that in Apoc you don't have unlimited reinforcements.  In Apoc, you get like one new soldier recruit on average per day.  They're certainly not expendable, at least not in the first few weeks.

Coral: "Do try to preserve the bodies. We need them for research."

You've got a bio-transport module on your hovercar? That seems highly unlikely(ie impossible) if it's the first day.

Nah. Just an IC bit of dialogue.

It's good to establish good habits early.

Well. I would have updated yesterday, but I ended up playing Titanfall instead. I'll get it up later today.
