My first death is dumb. On the very first post-tutorial mission, how X-Com 1 worked slipped my mind. I triggered a bunch of aliens on the same turn after doing a mission objective. They ran for cover after I spotted them. Unfortunately, the cover they ran into had direct line of sight to the guy who did the mission objective. The poor guy had already completed his turn doing the mission objective. RIP.

So yeah, after you break concealment, the game works just like X-Com 1. Whoops.

I'm still creating characters and still haven't started my first Legendary Ironman campaign.

I'm too addicted to creating characters!!! HALP


Some MMOs, when the market was new, sold themselves on "great character creation". A lot of money was spent to spend 3+ hours deciding on how your character should look. Which isn't surprising when it seems most of the money spent on gaming is for cosmetics.

I know right. I decided to do my second campaign (lost the 1st at 01:00 this morning) this weekend and my third with members of /r/france. This is going to be fantastic \o/

Let's get dumb ! Same mission, first move, run to cover through a fire. Death turn 2 due to ongoing burn.

Game feels like kind a sluggish with my GTX970 even, have to play around with settings at some point.

Got my engineer killed pretty early as I didn't realise you could probably do remote hacking with the drone instead of yoloing the actual soldier in on the last possible turn. Also the character customization is like about 50 times better than Xcom:EU.

So there is still some bugs in the game so play ironman at your own risk. I had one where my first mission got aborted because I tried to click away cutscenes. Then I had one case where the screen went completely black (except for the Alien Turn HUD) as soon as a Sectiod Mind-controlled one of my operatives.

Anyway I am really liking this game. But you will have to make trade-offs if you want to make progress. I had to run a ranger through an overwatch to kill a sectiod mind-controlling my operative and a zombie at the same time. And with many missions being times, you will need to be more mobile in combat. But I'm liking it.

Update on my first Legendary Ironman playthrough.

A pod of three Advent Troopers spawned on top of the statue your supposed to blow up and couldn't get down. Took a screenshot of it because it was funny. I maneuver myself around and spot the pod with the Sectoid and Trooper, waited a few turns then in comes the Officer pod right near the statue where the three Troopers were stuck on. Setted up an overwatch ambush and the Sectoid pod came over and activated second after the Officer pod activated. And because the Officer pod activated and they were near the stuck Troopers, they activated too. Three missed their overwatch shots on the Officer but one hit.

Needless to say everyone died :D :D :D :D

Never had so much fun getting squad wiped LOL

Holy crap Terror missions are even worse now.
The minimum limit you need to save forces you to move faster + Show Spoiler +
and then they spring a faceless on you that takes your entire squad a full turn to kill. If you trigger it when rescuing your basically dead...

Found the debuffs atleast. If you hold your mouse over the red icon in the bottom left corner on the soldiers rank icon you can see what they do.

To the person asking about Base Defence, yes it exists + Show Spoiler +
There is a building that provides extra defenses against ground assaults, I assume that means it is more frequent aswell

I think I will not Ironman my first playthrough, lots of bugs are likely to occur which can screw you over, plus i'd like to experiment and not lose hours on hours of progess if I make a mistake in doing so.

I just bought the game and got home :D
I'm gonna play commander or the 1 difficulty lower and be the usual save-reload scumbag that I was when playing Xcom1 on the first playthrough.
Oh you had 78% accuracy and you still missed that alien? Nope. Reload and do it again soldier. This time, properly :D
