I've had Polish soldiers.

Are you running with a mod? Because they're not in the default list of nations.

They are.  You can get soldiers from countries that aren't major contributors to the X-Com project.  South Korea, Israel, Scotland (and the SNP cried hurrah!), even Poland.  ^_^

I think you are mistaken, because I have used no mods and have had Polish soldiers. I even had to look up what their flag was because it slipped my mind.

Huh. Poland doesn't show up in this list here, and I know people have made mods specifically to add in Polish soldiers.

So...not sure what's going on there.

Did they get added in from a patch, maybe?

Hmmm, that is weird.  I could have sworn they were in as well, but I can't find them or Indonesia (or Monaco), which could be mixed up with them.  Seems I was wrong again. ^_^;;

Interesting! Can I use that on Steam?

You can buy Enemy Within at 25% off at GMG (Green Man Gaming) with this code courtesy of Reddit.

GMG25-C5729-7SY25

Also works on X Rebirth and Walking Dead Season 2

I don't follow your logic. I have never dealt with GMG, but I have dealt with third party websites that sell Steam codes.

Oh, you meant applying it to Steam. I was just confused.

This game requires a free Steam account to play.

I'd say you can.

I'm kind of disappointed that

as far as I know, Exalt doesn't get SHIVs, Plasma weaponry, Psionics, Genemodding, Mech Troopers, or Titan Armor. IMO it'd be kinda cool if by leaving them alone they start not only outnumbering you, but matching your tech as well!

I think I read somewhere that EW added them in actually XD

How could they? XCOM can only get those because they are backed by almost every government on Earth, and have all the best scientists and engineers on the planet. Maybe EXALT poaches a few guns and grenades, and SOMEHOW finds the technology to Genemod (they DO get that, presumably from scavenging meld and applying it in an ad-hoc unsafe way), but they don't have the infrastructure to maintain mechanized warfare.

Aww, it's a real spoiler! WHY DID I CLICK ON IT! Okay, no more clicking on spoilers for me.

Right. I was looking for that, but missed the right line.

I'm sure that the exalt get genemods in one of the previews with feraxis one of the highlights for them was that they would use the genemods but they would be more extreme than what xcom would do

Thanks for the GMG tip-off! I also was able to score a 25% off coupon for Burial at Sea, so now I'm quite happy.

The game pace has been evened out a bit actually, which is nice. That said, I still hate early Thin Men - they cheat, and are able to find hidden units that I'm trying to protect (escort mission). I could have sworn that the basic algorithm was "If you haven't seen it, you won't try and flank it". :|

Also aliens are now placed much more aggressively in many missions, and starting with a pair of

Seekers

right next to you can really ruin the early pace + Meld rush. This also has resulted in me engaging ALL of the aliens before getting to the actual UFO, which spoils the breach efforts.

Still, the expansion feels good. But I had an Ironman run ruined with a bug. Spoiler-free, apparently using Run n Gun sometimes cuts down your movement to just 1 move (as opposed to 2 moves, and ability to shoot)

This happened in the Newfoundland mission, as three Chryssalids were bearing down on me. I had a good firing position, but due to the bug my assault got caught out. With the reduced firepower and an extra zombie on the field, this was a team wipe. For no good reason

I'm going to be 100% honest, in that situation I would have used the ironman savescum, aka killing the process so that you can go back to the autosave.

Yeah, game killing bugs are a perfectly valid reason to save-scum.

How long does that code work for?
