I'll also need a name for our first craft, which is a combination interceptor/transport.

What should our first research be? Guns or other shit? It's worth noting we've only got harpoon guns right now, and they're even worse than the vanilla TFTD ones apart from the ability to load explosive and tranquilizer harpoons.

squishy waspite

we need better weapons if we expect these bunch of retards to survive down there commander

Guns, unless you want to fight with single-shot spearguns

We expect them to survive?

All in, that's all for now but there's more on their way. I've got the training pool, another general stores, and a second lab building.

Attached: screen019.png (1280x800, 24K)

A bit of time passes, and before the first day is even over or any of our shit has arrived, we've got our first mission.

Attached: screen020.png (1280x800, 86K)

Remember to buy a as many explosives as you can once you get them

It's in Antarctica. Hopefully it isn't going to be The Thing.
Of course, this is XCOM, after all.

do we have any plan b in case someone turns out to be some kind of monster?
cause i call dibs on killing these assholes

God speed commander

Call first casualty

Well, good news and bad news.
The good news is we don't have to do it.
The bad news is that the as of yet unnamed Seamaster is just out of range. We've got coverage of less than half the globe, I think.

Attached: screen023.png (1280x800, 86K)

First stuff is showing up. No grenades yet, sadly.

Attached: screen024.png (1280x800, 80K)

First casualty is the mission itself

have a guy named Grenader Boi (or Nader Boi) and give him nothing but nades

RECRUITS!
Eight more names, please.

Attached: screen025.png (1280x800, 81K)

Yeah, that's normal, some missions will be impossible to reach until you build multiple bases

Julian Gollop

Peanus Weanus

...

Bane

Siggy

Tanya von Degurechaff

Trusty Patches

All in.
It's worth noting we start off with a free armor capable of vertical movement alongside the standard diving suit, but it has no protection and the wearer takes stun damage from pressure every turn.

Attached: screen015.png (1280x800, 26K)

Were we are going we won't need protection

I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.

All in, with room for one more. The Seamaster also needs a name.
This is the harpoon. It holds one shot. It's ass, but at least it's got HE ammo.

Attached: screen027.png (1280x800, 14K)

The seamaster name: Smelly Tuna

Van

It's also worth noting we don't start with large radar unlocked so our coverage is shit.
And that's all the names for the time being. I'm making an executive decision to turn Van into Van Darkholme.

Hopefully we'll be able to reach this one.

Hey, it's in my state, I think. We should be able to make it.

THEY KNOW

So... is TFTD just X-Com with Lovecraftian setting?

...

Basically, yeah. It is much harder though.

All's quiet. I'm already wishing we had better guns and I haven't even shot anyone.
Essentially. The ayys are underwater this time.

Attached: screen033.png (1280x800, 66K)

when does the tentacle rape start?

Fuck, it's night time

deploy smoke

actually light the shrubbery on fire so it produces even more smoke

It's quiet. Too quiet.
Any minute now.

Attached: screen034.png (1280x800, 110K)

Look behind you

inb4 over 20 zombies

A bunch of mutated humans shuffle out.
One of them's got a shotgun, so we're at a technological advantage before even running into any ayys.

Attached: screen038.png (1280x800, 104K)

Use bombs wisely?

HATE WATER downs the shotgunner with an explosive harpoon.

I...I hope they make it all out alive

Regroup next to the LZ, you will probably run out of ammo very quickly

I know, I'm gonna grab the shotgun first though.
Reddit hits one in the chest but it lives.

how do I make my xcom high res my fren

OpenXCom

Nigger nails another with an HE harpoon, but fails to kill it. He also provokes some shotgun reactions which thankfully miss.

Attached: screen042.png (1280x800, 118K)

Mr. Ting scores another hit with a conventional harpoon but it's still standing. I fucking hate these things.

THROW A NADE AT IT!!

Your mom finally puts it down.

Chen finishes the last one in sight. Now to hope nobody gets sniped.
We don't have grenades yet.

based my mom, killing muties just like in '68

Mom gets slashed but survives, barely.
I think I'm gonna grab a corpse and run, we're definitely outgunned.

Do it. Fuck night missions.

maybe it's time to head back Commander
This is a night mission, we're still not ready for shit like this

Most of the ayys we downed were only unconcious. Still, we managed not to lose anyone so it's not all bad.

Attached: screen049.png (1280x800, 18K)

Evac, you can probably win by making a last stand, but it will take a long time if there are too many enemies, and you will gain nothing but corpses anyway

Plus, there's GAINS

Attached: screen050.png (1280x800, 18K)

so wtf are they, why have the humans become so icky and rapey?

PROMOTIONS

Mom taking it like a boss!
Now she can take it harder!

And just after we get back, the eggheads finish figuring out better guns.

Attached: screen052.png (1280x800, 73K)

took 'em long enough
but the squad managed without, so let's hope things will just get better from here on out

A whole bunch of fun toys.

Attached: screen053.png (1280x800, 25K)

things can only get better from here

God forbid a military is equipped beforehand

Get ADSG rifles, and a ton of magna-blast explosives
Put you best grenadier at the "front" of the transport so that he can just pick them from the ground and blow up everything

This thing has decent armor and pretty good resistances, but comes with a -20 to Time Units and Reactions as well as some penalties to throwing and melee accuracy.

Attached: screen054.png (1280x800, 27K)

Get gas cannons with HE thats all you need

Attached: 1518056969953.jpg (800x1142, 185K)

There's some dinky pistols which I can't see getting much use out of, but the funky russian underwater assault rifle looks like a big improvement from harpoons.

Attached: screen059.png (1280x800, 14K)

Oh baby.

Attached: screen060.png (1280x800, 13K)

This seems pretty similar to the ADS, just with slightly better damage and much worse capacity.

Attached: screen061.png (1280x800, 14K)

>underwater grenade launcher
nice, equip everyone with that thing

And of course, our savior in our darkest hour, the magna-blast grenade. With enough durability to survive it's own explosion, you can toss multiple at the same spot with no worries.

Attached: screen062.png (1280x800, 12K)

Commander, we will need the equivalent to a metric fuck ton of HE rounds

And last but not least, the holy grail.
Well duh, this is XCOM, after all.

Attached: screen063.png (1280x800, 14K)

I've put in some orders for assorted weaponry and a hardsuit.
What's next?

Attached: screen064.png (1280x800, 17K)

What are our options?

weapons obviously

when you just wanna show the ayyys some explosive love

Reddit just got an upvote

SORESO gets us medkits, radar, and supercavitation stuff.
Self-propelled projectiles appears to lead to fancier dart guns and other stuff.

Needs more dakka

last time I played that mod those explosives blew shit up so hard that they constantly made the PC crash and shut down

Attached: 1543202979890.jpg (736x904, 287K)

i feel we need to improve our HQ, i vote SORESO

Get SORESO, it should lead to missions to recover good transports/interceptors

SORESO gives us something we'll need for gas cannons, so I'll go for that.
Your mother is hospitalized for the time being.

We're properly equipped now!

How long?

lets set the damn world on fire!

Nobody gets the fancy armor yet because their TUs are fucking awful.

Not much happens, but research finishes.
Napalm and phosphorus burn underwater, fun fact.

I think I'll grab sonar next so we can go on more missions.

Finally, we can teach our agents how to swim.

Attached: screen071.png (1280x800, 71K)

make sure they start at the shallow end

Still no new missions yet.

What now? I have no clue what Bubble is, but it lets us manufacture Bubbles, apparently.

Attached: screen073.png (1280x800, 17K)

Let's find out: research bubbles

maybe we should make medkits a priority commander
Those ayyswont kill themselves, and our Soldier wont either if they fucking die

I am with user here, the safety of our team is much better than a bubble.

I'll get on bubbles after medkits, I guess.

Attached: screen074.png (1280x800, 78K)

medikits are for chumps we need dakka

Attached: 1503615928428.gif (640x480, 1.71M)

More time passes with nothing even happening on the graphs, so it's bubble time now.

Attached: screen075.png (1280x800, 17K)

Good
After that self propelled projectiles sounds good

Oh hey, and we can even sell the medkits for a minor profit, too.

Attached: screen076.png (1280x800, 12K)

Ayy's are asleep

And so the first month ends. Apparently the ayys didn't do jack shit and the burgers are glad we shot a few tentacle-men.

There's also a UFO but it's too fast for the Seamaster, which has a top speed of 900, so we'll be checking out the suspicious stuff. I think I'm gonna give Chen the hardsuit for the time being.

Well, they didn't shoot back yet, but it took two grenade launcher rounds and a bunch of ADS auto fire to kill the big one. The exploding pipeline probably helped too.

Good, now again but with more BOOMS!

Oh god, the other one just shot at us with explosives. Chen's unharmed but Reddit is half-dead.

Can't make this shit up.

how can you be sure it was the plant's fault?
maybe Reddit just cooked a nade and droped it like a tard
you can trust us

Chen takes another hit, but is mostly fine. The others toss grenades and pop smoke.
If these hardsuits weren't 70k each I'd want a whole lot more.

Reddit moves up to soak up at least a shot or two, hopefully.

Chen the walking tank.
be careful you may get hit by chen's massive cock.

how can I be sure you aren't the chink who made those mutant plants by throwing nuclear waste into the ocean?

All goes as planned and Reddit eats two shots. Amazingly, they're not entirely dead.

Attached: screen090.png (1280x800, 118K)

Bloody hell, what is that guy made off?
Why wont he just die?

I've never been so happy to see an X-Com soldier getting shot until now

well that makes sense since cancer is quite resilient

Quick, give him an upvote injection.

More shots are taken, more explosives are thrown, and more dye grenades are popped. Since the polyps appear to be immobile we should be safe inside a solid smokescreen.

we're okay with losing reddit but not chen the tank.

Tactically speaking, if these things are stationary why couldn't we just drop some depth charges on them

technically speaking, rookies with pre-primed magna-packs are like guided depth charges

well, it looks like chen is just not meant to ever survive an xcom playthrough.

but dying with reddit, what a rotten way to die

Chen still has 7 turns to go, it'll be fine.
I think this polyp is the last one, too.
