XCOM2 Expansion

Got back into XCOM2. Primarily (if delayed effect) because of Viking ZX releasing the Dusk Guard and Dusk Rogues as soldiers. Splruged on the expansion as well. Cleaned up and added more mods. Apparently a whole lot more pony voice packs now, so most of the pony soldiers will have proper pony voices.

Opening mission was not exactly smooth. Crystal Wishes didn’t survive. Apple Bloom and Buttercup were injured. Apparently in the expansion you can make propaganda posters for fallen teammates. Might have to see if I can export them to put them up here on the blog. Second mission was a total failure. Mostly due to it being a new sewer map that was throwing me off with weird camera angles and layout. That’s the excuse I’m using for going back to earlier save and trying it again, anyway.

Playing XCOM2 again. This time with the Long War 2 mod, which is a major update/rehaul of the whole game. So far I’m liking it a lot. Much more strategy involved with the changes. For instance, when you send soldiers on missions it isn’t just send them, do the mission. They spend time infiltrating and the longer they can do that, the easier the mission is. Only there is a time limit in how long the mission is around. As well as infiltration is easier with fewer soldiers on the mission and what classes/equipment you send. Which is why I send just three soldiers on the mission that killed Estee, Super Trampoline, and Cerulean Voice. They were great at the initial infiltration! Once the mission actually started, not so much.
