It is a little late, but there is a mod for X-com (X-com Util) that does a handful of things including rearranging the base. I can't remember all the features but it is on the X-Com wiki.

I would personally caution against giving too much information to the readers. Every time you create a new process for your LP you create extra work to make it. X-Com games allways suffer from end game grind. It is even worse if you have to type out who died and how many kills everyone got on small-ufo-mission over 9000.

I too love X-Com 1, but find it too slow to play any more. I have spend many hours on it. Good luck with the LP.

Hey Fikes, love you Apoc LP. I know of XComUtil, and I personally want to do a vanilla LP. I used to edit UFOPaedi a lot, so a couple facts are burned into my brain which I canot help but expressing to the readers. Also, grindan is always my least favorite part past startup, but it's alright.


Also, finished February. It's.... not all that exciting. No UFOs, no Terror Missions.

These aliens may be smart but can they outsmart a bullet?

Perhaps.

Oh great, an alien base.

When you decide to die, remember to give your enemy the same honour.

Holy schist, this thread is mica me sick.
DF Players never truly leave.  They just abandon the fortress for a few years and then reclaim.

Hell, dead already. when if you decide to bring me back to life, slap on a roman numeral at the end.

BARRRYYYYY!! (If anyone get's that reference I'll be surprised)


Also, I noticed that you kept all three hangers. I would have gotten rid of one, since the aliens will destroy you if they find you.

I nominate myself for this daring suicide mission! (Also, you can just load me up with normal grenades)
