You can go look at KickScamStarter for inspiration.

I'll be kickstartering as soon as I'm finished, but that's not XCOM, and I have a thread about my game already.

Apparently so. Your German soliders will speak and sound German, your French soliders will speak and sound French, ect, unless you set it otherwise (this will be a customizable thing).

[Krevsin]

No, I meant the accents. I knew about the language thing, but the accents are new to me.

So, I can have a whole squad of cockneys?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I'm not 100% sure, but it would stand to reason.

Now I'm imagining a wonderfully stereotypical English X-com agent wearing a tophat and monocle getting kills and shouting 'I say, good show old bean!'

Fixed that for you

I'm imagining playing an X-Com squad populated by the characters from Attack The Block.

[Darkening Kaos]

-NEW SOLIDER OUTFITS

How much solider are they going to be?
Are we getting a version of the game with hard-light holograms?

Don't blame me, blame autocorrect.

Will he be peanut-shaped?

No room in my sig ....

I forgot how terrible this game is in certain fundamental regards. The panic spiral is a laughably poor mechanic for a game with this sort of money riding on it, and the RNG is like casino gambling; fun, exclusively while you are winning. Frankly, I think everyone would benefit if it just randomly did a secret check to fudge the odds in the player's favor. A challenge is all fine and well, but it's also usually it's irrelevant to X-Com gameplay.

What's more, it would be nice if the game told you what sort of situation a unit was getting into before you positioned him in a certain spot, as advancing to cover only to find themselves unable to fire has been the death of too many good men.

Note: If you were planning on typing the words "That's," "X-Com," and or "baby" within the proximity of three sentences of each other, just leave your physical address and preference of shot or slugs instead.

Now, if only we could get aboard a mod that eliminated recruits from all the minor, politically/economically/culturally irrelevant nations of the world!

Because we all know what the folks of Liechtenstein and El Salvador and Finland will be doing when the Earth is invaded by extraterrestrial powers. They'll be dying.

[WillowLuman]

Hey! My Finnish recruit saved the goddamn world!

Actually X com does fudge the odds in the player's favour. If you miss a high chance shot, it will increase the probability of the next shot hitting (without telling you).
