*Elerium, not electium

Also, where can I download this? main site doesn't seem to have a DL page

[Orb]

You have to find someone who has it and is willing to upload it/already has.

It was taken down due to legal issues. Since I am the last person to be all yar har diddly dar, you'd be better off asking me last.

Pacing seemed fine. Very nice in general.

Also, how does scouting decay work?

I haven't quite narrowed down the formula(nor do I care enough to try), but scouting will decay at about 0.5% per day. Or something like that. Nothing to be too worried about, but spreading your scouting thin isn't usually the best idea.

"Edit" Cross referencing the percentages on Europe, it only went down about 1% in 8 days. So I don't really know how fast it decays. It probably decays faster at higher scouting levels, so maybe 100% is .5% per day, but like 5% is like .05% per day.

Looking at it even closer, its 0.1% per day.

Did a google search and found it. Can you play aliens in single player?

[NRDL]

Very nice update, stupid plasma pistols.

Can I be aliened as your first terror ship, whenever you get it? 

[Orb]

Yes...and no. There's no human AI, so have fun playing against no one. I use single player to test things out.

That's a long ways out. If I remember, sure.

[Jacob/Lee]

Yeah, playing as aliens will get you the "aliens win" message pretty quickly.

So, instead of an update today, Burnt/I/Friend played a game of Wesnoth. It was epic.

Spoiler: EPICNESS (click to show/hide)

[EuchreJack]

Doesn't look like you won.  Trying to lure the Human player into a false sense of security, eh?   

[IronyOwl]

Orb would rather not.

Heh.

I dunno who my money's on from that picture, though. I guess I'd give an edge to the white mage (which I assume is you), just on the leader-battle down there.

[Orb]

The chat matches the color of the player. I was the blue human player. I won in the end(mostly because I sniped the aforementioned leader unit).

Since we both attacked Green first, and then I switched targets to orange when Green was about to buckle, green didn't have enough forces to overwhelm me after the commander unit snipe.

It was a tense game, nevertheless. I almost lost at least 3 times.

[EuchreJack]

Sorry, I thought you were orange.  Good game.

I think the fact that most units in Battle of Westnoth can die from 2-3 attacks makes the game quite tense.

Another update for the swarm Celebrium.

Spoiler: Update 3: When you put all your eggs into one basket... (click to show/hide)

 



So. Researching East Asia while sending the occasional UFO to Australia.



Abductor to Australia!



So...close.   



Hehehehe.....



No scout! Noooo!



Crash. Evacuation of the area. Now.



What. I have never even seen this message before. Its on both UFOs. This isn't going to end well...



At least I can fully equip a medium scout with plasma rifles in the middle of this terror.



To save you guys some time, one UFO is shot down, the other is crashed. Probably should have spread out my UFOs a bit.



I will also save you the trouble of instant deaths.



Down to this.



Surprisingly, from here I get extremely lucky. He doesn't find any of my UFOs for a long time. I'm back at full power now. Also note the loaded condition: Good. He'll have a fight on his hands unless he attacks the top UFO....

I am also in the process of making a Mothership, which makes new bases.



Woot!



I figure the Abductor(which from its namesake, I bet you can guess what its good at) would be the next best choice. I may switch out floater for harvester, which comes after abductor. Floaters can't throw grenades, and their specialty is terror missions, which I can't even do. So I usually wait a bit on Floaters.



Guess what landed UFO he attacked...





I get a good position set up. I'm stuck inside, but he has to come after me.



Coincidentally, I was about to send a guy out the door to take a look around, and perhaps get a lucky kill or two. I waited a turn in order to get full TUs. He pops in through the door, and gets reaction fired. He was holding a grenade, probably to throw it into the UFO.



Several explosions later, my theory was confirmed. Welp, he's dead.





I take a look around, fire off a few blind shots(hitting nothing), and head back into the safety of the scout.







Over the course of several turns, I kill 3 more X-com agents(via popping out of the door, taking a few shots, then backing back in). Eventually, reaction fire/running out of TUs ruins my rampage.



All fatalities. Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. He still gained points though. =/

I'll have to remember to do some infiltration missions next time we play. Guessing by how many points he has, he's going to be swimming in money.

Summary










If you're curious, the reason why some buildings are missing is because I was doing some remodeling. Messing up my fudged calculations, I had a negative income of concrete(buildings require maintenance of concrete). What resulted was a run away train of losing concrete as my buildings became functional. I thankfully squeezed in enough concrete to make another facility, only to realize it costs 25, instead of the 50 I originally thought. Nevertheless, I should be fine. 

Also note the high research now. Doing pretty good in that front! I hope to expand my efforts to Europe, in order to cut his funding with infiltration.

I switched image providers. If anyone can't load images now, let me know.

I also went a bit more skimpy on the images. I figured you guys didn't need a play-by-play.

Comments, suggestions, ect., are welcome, as always.

[Delta Foxtrot]

The amount of images seemed pretty good. Good update. How long do you reckon before you can start making pacts with funding nations, or at the very least cut his funding drastically?

You can do that? I thought infiltration just cut his funding. Then again, I haven't explored nearly all the nits and picks this game offers(as shown by this update).


I also have no idea how effective infiltration is. I can't play X-com and Aliens at once, so...

I guess my final answer is I have no clue.

You can do that?

In TTS? Hell if I know. I just assumed that since it happens in X-COM it could happen in TTS.

This has inspired me to whip up X-COM again. Such fun, !!FUN!!, and then some more fun.
