HereticGuy barely misses the friendlies, but at least he didn't blow them up.
Owen Long
The many, the expendable! The Guardsmen!
Juan Martinez
>Who will win?
Mankind, as always
Kayden Cruz
>Just as Planned
Kevin Perry
>filthy heretic can't even TK properly
Christian Wilson
oh shit now were talking
Jackson Jackson
Aaron Foster
Continued from by the way, if you wanna see the start.
The enemy turn passes with no casualties, and the friendly guardsmen even down a cultist with reaction fire! A bunch of plasma sails over our heads and a cultist attempted to punch Carlos in the face but did no damage.
Adrian Sanders
>hereticguy
Corvus. He's an elf, by the way.
Jordan Diaz
Carlos gives him a faceful of bayonet, but you can't see it because of the structure. Alas.
Aiden Diaz
Mario catches a flanking cultist! Sneaky bastard.
Liam Martinez
>what the fuck am i casting?
Austin Clark
His years of being in videogames gives him a 6th sense
Caleb Richardson
Both Mario and Bthony miss their shots, so Godburt goes and gives him a nice warmup to save their asses.
Levi Butler
Tanya tosses Corvus another rocket and he readies for next turn.
Aiden Scott
A heretic AND an elf, he's gonna get the entire platoon "Questioned" by the inquisition
Christian Wilson
Chen barely misses the cult leader with a pair of grenades. Should have given her frag instead of krak, but there wasn't time.
Ryan Gomez
Did i do good Ran-shama?
Dominic Reyes
Wait a second Commander, are you using Prntscr and Paint to take screenshots?
You can just press F12 and upload the images straight from your OpenXcom folder
Kayden Perry
Oh shit can I
I'm retarded
Wario gives a demon a faceful of buckshot while Wavy misses repeatedly. The buckshot doesn't seem to do much, but it's the thought that counts.
Levi Stewart
Real talk, what's the point of playing OpenXCOM over UFO Defense if you aren't playing X-Piratz?
John Martinez
Cultist-chan scores a hit, but it doesn't seem to do much. He's not even bleeding.
Michael Powell
Why don't you just live stream the game?
Connor Davis
fixes bugs and adds a lot of QoL options, plus support for better resolutions and other mods
There is Literally no reason not to play Openxcom
James Reed
>live stream
All playthroughs in Yea Forums are usually screenshot with live commentary
Jack Martinez
Are you legitimately retarded?
Ian Long
Levi Martinez
X-Piratez is good but I'm fucking awful at it. Also I like this mod a lot too.
Because I'd get anxious about that and also the mods crack down on streaming.
The demons cut down a bunch of friendly guardsmen, and the cult leader throws a grenade into the middle of our position. Amazingly, the only one wounded is Wavy.
Easton White
Firing lines, dammit! The hell is this mess? You're all fighting like CULTISTS!
Chase Martinez
Ah, fuck that shit
I'll rather have the Yea Forums LP be exclusively be on Yea Forums, unlike the recent Nigger LPs
Carter Campbell
>gave Wavy her look too
You remembered.
Dominic Smith
It's a tool for easy x-com modding.
>Also I like this mod a lot too.
Holy shit I didn't even realize you were playing the 40k mod. It's been on my list for almost a year now. My fault for not reading the OP properly.
Chase Reyes
I'm making it so the demons have to move if they want to sword more than one guy. Also grenade protection.
Wavy gets patched up by Jade, then returns the favor. Cult leader down!
Jaxson Collins
because Yea Forums's playthroughs have always been here in screenshots, live streaming is for faggets
Angel Hill
That was actually completely unintentional, believe it or not.
Maki bathes the demon in flame, the friendly guardsman's corpse at it's feet.
Noah Anderson
And it goes down!
Henry Cox
Burn all those heretics!
Matthew Sanchez
Dickus kills another!
Gavin Turner
Because holy shit look at these options
Also, this is the ideal "Scaling" For 1080p monitors. I've been informed by Meridian that the 1/X options are Expanded to Fill, not stretched and the X is the "Zoom" level.
Gavin Gray
>IG fire is so hot it can burn a demon that sets the ground on fire when it walks to death
Nice.
Ryan Torres
And Vance hucks a Krak, landing it directly at the feet of another demon, presumably the last. I feel we're going to get panicking cultists this turn.
Blessed promethium, yo.
Jack Rivera
Unintentional? Nice. Wavy will always be the Blonde Ponytail.
Grayson Lee
Finally, my good friend Dickus gets the glory he deserves.
Ryder Cooper
Oh no there was one flying above Wavy that I didn't notice. Luckily, plenty of people still have TUs.
Aaron King
Looks like the Schola missed one.
Can you recruit other imperial units or do you choose a faction at the start or is this a guardsman game?
Kevin Hall
termies can use heavy flamers which ignite entire chunks, pretty useful for the space hulk missions
Eli Powell
69 readies his shot.
You choose a branch at the start- Assault, Devastator, Tactical, Scout, or Guardsmen. Marine branches get to recruit sisters, and I wish the Guardsmen did too since they're rad. I actually like using them much more than marines since they come with their own armor, and are a bargain for it, while a marine is 50k just for a rookie in scout armor.
David Williams
And he completely misses. Shit, time for the snipers to try.
Nathan Garcia
And try they do! A hail of fire and a missed grenade launcher shot bring it down to earth. Carlos moves up to go for the cultist nearby.
Alexander Reyes
well, it super late here, good luck hunting heretics commander, make the emperor proud
David Robinson
Bravo blows the heretic's head off before he can, though. I forgot to use him earlier.
Josiah James
It's destiny: she randomly got that haircut in the last X-Files run too
Jace Jackson
HereticGuy takes another shot, and doesn't fuck it up this time!
Jaxson Harris
This cultist appears to be the last enemy, and went berserk.
Wario readies his shotgun.
Chase Howard
>69 readies his shot.
And gets 69% chance to hit?
Jaxson Robinson
And with one last shot, the mission is over! Amazingly, only Press F died, and for once Chen survived not one but two missions.
Sebastian Gonzalez
The gains are big! You can't see it, but Wario got +6 strength among other things.
Noah Russell
F. Just tuning in. If you could name the next recruit Bo Dickemz I'd love you forever OP.
Elijah Nelson
PROMOTIONS!
Will do, user.
Gavin Jones
>"only" 13 enemies killed
Looks like this mod has a reasonable balance, unlike others that pits you against literally hundreds of enemies
Leo Long
well now, that's quite the coincidence
Samuel Ortiz
Holy shit, Captain Bravo might actually make it to Captain at this rate
Leo Nelson
That's my Jhonny!
Nathaniel Long
Gone but not forgotten. Our first casualty in the line of duty, of many more to come.
Don't worry, it's only the cultist missions that are reasonable. Just wait until it throws 20+ plasma-armed Raptors at me.
Isaac Butler
Oh yeah, I forgot another thing! When you beat a terror mission any survivors join you for free, so I've got two more open names!
Jordan Smith
John Nintendo
Chase Cruz
Dong MacDongs
Juan Moore
Done!
Large Radar is up and running. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to end this thread here unless someone else wants to pick up the mantle- it's rather late and I've got shit to do tomorrow.
It's surprisingly fun doing this, despite the fucking captcha hell
Samuel Cruz
goodnight commander
Jayden Scott
Corvus the heretic and Flynt " Fly " the doom guy.
Cooper Miller
Stay classy, Yea Forums.
Shit, I should probably figure out how tripfagging works.
Jordan Rogers
Because no one likes your gay fetish
Jeremiah James
Goodnight Commander
Don't worry about captchas, you will get used after the 1000nd post
Julian Cook
>it's rather late and I've got shit to do tomorrow.
The flesh is weak. We need a Mechanicus mod.
I though Taggart was "second-rate" canon. Corvus is named in the manual and IIRC even on the in-game help screen or something like that.
Jackson Jackson
Since this is kind of also a 40k thread I figured I should ask here, where should I start with 40k?
Mason Lopez
Yeah, but it slows things down.
Camden Ramirez
Dawn of War 1 and 2
Eli Evans
if you're talking about lore, then start with the imperium and emperor of mankind. The whole setting revolves around them basically. After that then I guess chaos and whatever else suits your fancy.
Camden Price
As in 40k in general or this mod? Play Dawn of War 1&2, but also read Deff Skwadron since it's the finest piece of 40k literature out there.
cold-moon.com
My only complaint about this mod is that orks are relegated to Space Hulk missions. Also that you're not playing as orks.
Lucas Davis
IF I SEE THAT FUCKING BIRD ONE MORE TIME
Daniel Clark
god damn deff skwadron really is something special
Lucas Howard
How do i get into this game? I remember trying to play it but getting overwhelmed by the amount of stuff i could buy but didnt know what for, and the base building being too complex for the brainlet me at that time. Do i need to read the game's manual?
Jackson Edwards
Saul Rightman
David Garcia
read the descriptions on items to see what they do
build living quarters and general stores for your soldiers and scientists
always wait out the first turn in the skyranger
Thomas Peterson
>Do i need to read the game's manual?
That's what you should be doing with any old game that has a manual because hand-holding or turning first X% of a game into a glorified tutorial wasn't normal back then.
Carter Bell
Don't wait if there's an ayy staring you in the face since it'll just shoot you or potentially grenade your entire ship. Use the first turn to toss smoke grenades around the LZ, but don't move out unless you have really good cover.
Kayden Morgan
you can look up some combat and management tips on youtube but it isnt as daunting as it looks
at the very basic level just make sure you have enough guns for everyone, ammo for your guns, medical supplies and stuff for everyone too
then when you have all that, you have to make sure your people are assigned to an aircraft and that every aircraft has the guns and supplies on it so they can take it on a mission
give openxcom a shot, it comes with alot of quality of life fixes. its a ton of fun when you figure out how everything works
Carson Brown
is openxcom free or do i need xcom
is this 40k mod more ufn than this xpiratez shit
Parker Gutierrez
you need the original xcom but you can get that for cheap on gog or just pirate it
xpiratez is probably the most in depth mod so far and id say its the most fun one available, but thats just my opinion
Aiden Moore
Isaac Jenkins
Yes, read the manual or watch some youtube videos
If you played nu-Xcom it should be easy to understand what to do
Anyway at the beginning of the game you should:
>Buy extra rookies and add them to the Skyranger
>Buy lots of rocket launchers and heavy rockets for the terror missions
>Build extra storage rooms to help with micromanaging items
>Focus on spending money on Labs and Scientists, get laser weapons ASAP
>Don't forget to build an alien containement after doing the autopsy, if you're lucky you can also accidentally capture them without stun rods
Liam Ortiz
Openxcom is free, but you'll have to find the original XCOM resources for it to work with most mods. It's an old game so it's not hard, though. Play vanilla before any of the mods.
