Finally got another episode up!

Blank Plays: XCOM Apocalypse Episode 5

Well I have to say everything went pretty well during this episode, I'm getting better a combat, even is if the game is going to troll me! Seriously I'm not happy about a knee high wall nearly costing me an entire team!

METAL BOXES! are hard to research.

Has anyone here played Dawn of War? The Metal Boxes reminded me of a poor voicing record that reached memetic levels once!

Ok having never played Soulstorm (I avoided it as I heard it was bad) that clip is pretty badass! I do however know about Indrick Boreale . . .

If there are drop pods in this game, we need to take full advantage of the Steel Rehn maneuvah.

BATTLE BRUVVAS!!

It's not nice to to mock people for their speech impediments, especially a spess mahreen. Seriously, the Blod Rehvens are going to be pissed if we keep this up!

Yeah, there's a reason I've played every DoW game except that one. (Although DoW2 is kind of bad in it's own way.)

I mean I played it, but for some reason I just couldn't stand DoW2, The multilayer was its only redeeming feature. More so with retribution.

I shall protect the people of Mega-Primus from the aliens. Or die trying. And I'd prefer a guy.

Might not be able to follow this due to limited bandwidth though...

I guess people have crazy names in the future.

I recently got the original. I'm surprised there's not more death in this LP.

Oh and uh...it's the cult of Sirius right? Not Osiris? Because that's how you pronounce it. Why are you surprised that the police don't mind you killing alien worshipers anyway?

[AlleeCat]

I hear him saying "Cult of Sirus". I never noticed the extra 'i'.

[Vgray]

I keep hearing an O where there should be an S.

Is that just me?

Maybe you're hearing Cult O' Sirus through his thick foreign accent.

Well your name has been added to the list of potential soldiers, now we simply need to play the waiting game in getting you into the team!

Also I am pretty sure I'm saying the Cult of Sirus, which brings me onto my next point . . .

Yeah my thick British accent is hard to understand at times =P

[javierpwn]

I like the Cult of Sirius, they wear quite nice frog costumes. Although they aren't truly a serious problem.

Besides, can you give me the Marsec flying Armor chest piece?(it is the only part that gives flight) It sacrifices a small amount of armor for valuable air reconnaissance.(And it doesn't use up stamina when I move, so I always have Stamina to run!)

[CognitiveDissonance]

I actually really enjoyed SoulStorm. The campaign mode got tedious at times, but it was a lot of fun. The balance and new units it brought also added a lot, especially to my beloved Imperial Guard.

Hurray to new episode! The reason my hybrid is SO DAMN SLOW is because the wazer wiffle, as well as the Megapol armor, are extremely heavy. Could I request Marsec armor and at least a laser pistol once those are available? I'll still shoot as accurately, but won't hold everyone back!

And, many lol's to that spawn. Never happened to me in all the time playing it...

[Vgray]

Sectoids are/were tiny. Hybrids are half Sectoid.

Although they look as tall as normal humans...

Well that's hilarious. The X-COM wiki lists the factions as so,

The Good: X-COM, Government, Megapol.

The Bad: Alien, Cult of Sirius.

The Ugly: Everyone else.

[javierpwn]

Well... Human tall genes must be dominant to sections genes.
Also, sectiods are 3/4 the size of humans in Apocalypse, as they are the Aliens' favorite snack.

Hybrids have low strength, which makes them slow(unless they use flying armor)

[Vgray]

What would we gain from picking on the Mutant Alliance? Or S.E.L.F.?

Well...not S.E.L.F.

[javierpwn]

We would lose a good amount of potential hybrids going into X-Com, and they would raid us... As for SELF, I forgot who they are.
Make friends with the GravBall league, those guys have good stats.

[Burnt Pies]

Guns, and maybe some explosives from raiding them. We'd get fewer/no Hybrid or Robot recruits if they're angry with us, though.

Personally, the only people worth raiding are Marsec (Done peacefully; just get in, steal stuff, get out. No shooting.), Sirius and maybe the criminal syndicates. Pissing off psyke and osiron means we might see them launch hoverbike/car strikes on our buildings, maybe the occasional raid. Pissing off Diablo means no more Incendiary Grenades, but Blank doesn't use IN ammo ever, so that's not much of a problem. Sirius and the syndicates sometimes have Psyclone in their buildings, which sells for ~4.5k. Raiding for Psyclone is how I afford my late game hoverbike swarms.

Oh, and try using Incendiary ammo in those autocannons! I once had a robot dual wielding incendiary ACs solo a mission, simply because there was nowhere for the aliens to stand that wasn't on fire.
