This save is going infinitely worse technology wise than my last. However I have more soldiers.

[Sigfried Hunin]

You just have to be CAREFUL with your soldiers. When you get the Exoskeleton armor, suit ALL of em up and then just slooooowly ramp shit up.

Snipers OP

[Jonathan Meer]

Snipers were definitely the core of all my teams. So stronk

[Sigfried Hunin]

I was always all about the Heavy.

[Super Buu]

I was always about Whatever I Had That Wasn't Dead.

[Vad]

I can't put this game down. I really can't.

My first causality was my freshly promoted Sergeant Piper =(

[Super Buu]

Damn causality.

This save is better troop wise, but horrid country participation.

[Super Buu]

Honestly, country participation is more important, horrible as it sounds. Troops can be replaced ... eventually. Countries, once gone, are gone forever.

Similarly, you wanna prioritise long-term strategy when it comes to choosing mission rewards. Sometimes you want the sweet support to replace the guy who just bought it, but if you take the money you can get another satellite built by the end of the month and increase your monthly outgoings. It also means you can let one country get to maximum panic worry-free as long as you launch your satellite over it by the end of the month.

Just remember that satellites take 20 days to build, so you have a 'deadline' of around the 10th of the month to start building satellites you want launched by the end of the month. Don't forget to budget for possibly needing to build another satellite uplink facility, or excavate.

[Vad]

Yeah. I am destroying the world in this save. Doom bar has 2 bars left.

[Pinky]

They put this out free for PS+ members the other week, so I started playing. I can't even make it to the Overseer on Ironman Classic. But the multiplayer is really addicting. Anybody have good strategies or squad builds for multi?

[Pinky]

This is now a dabs thread.

So my best multiplayer squad is made of rookies. Skillsets are just too expensive for the 10k point limit in Ranked games. 4 with LP Rifle / Skel Armor / SCOPE and 1 with Laser Rifle / Titan Armor / Chitin Plating. The four rush for the nearest high ground, spread out to scout, then regroup on the enemy. The fifth either flank&tanks or just tanks vs melee.

Tried to work a pair for Assault Commandos with LP Rifle / Skel Armor / Chitin, and they got mauled by three Mutons with Sectoid support. Haven't tried Aliens yet, but a full Sectoid + Commanders squad sounds fun.
