X-COM: Enemy Unknown is a turn based strategy/sci-fi game released by Firaxis and published by 2K Games on October 2012. A re-imagining of X-COM: UFO Defense, this game pits a ragtag military group's efforts to combat an invading alien force. You play as The Commander; X-COM's leader who runs the R&D departments, along with the barracks, and whips them into shape to combat the extraterrestrials. By your side is Central Officer Bradford (X-COM's second in command.), Dr. Vahlen (a scientist who's methods leave everyone at the base scared.) and Dr. Shen (the kindly Asian engineer...who runs the Foundry and makes your Alien killing arms)
Enemy Within is an expansion pack released on November 12th, 2013 in North America and on the 15th elsewhere. This game adds two new aliens to the lineup, a new enemy faction made of humans supporting the aliens, and other cool features, including MECs, Gene Modding, and the return of Base Defense from UFO Defense. We're playing that.
After I put Mount and Blade on hold because I'm easily distracted, I decided to make a new LP, one that I could focus on and finish for once. So, I'm putting this game out. I play without mods, so don't expect stuff from Long War. I like to give Rookies, Promoted People, and Others (like DLCs and Mission Rewards) color-coordinated armor, and I've never finished a game winning. This should be fun. I'll also be playing with Progeny and Slingshot, and not with any tutorials. Also, I'll have the Second Wave options "Not Created Equally" and "Training Roulette", along with Ironman Mode, because I can own up to my failures. This will be either be a screenshot LP, or a video one. Depends on how much lag recordings show. It also may be Narrative in nature. I'll have to see. Anywho.
If you want to submit a character, give them a name, a gender, and whatever language you want them to speak. They can be you, a character of your creation, or a pop culture character. Rookies will be in White, Promoted in Blue, and S-Tier (DLCs and Mission Rewards) in Red. Psi Ops will be in Purple, Gene Mods in Yellow, and MECs in Black. Because I'm like that. I will create a character of my own, but the rest will either be default or you guys.
