The real cancerous kind of furfaggot is the kind that make fursonas, circlejerk with said fursonas, go to furry conventions and talks about fucking actual animals, animal dildos and whatnot.

Snekposters do none of the above. Your generalization is false.

Also, I double fucking doubt you never felt any kind of attraction towards any of the hundreds of non-human character you most certainly knew and liked when you were a kid. Unless you were castrated by your parents, puberty doesn't spare you from anything.

All of this assuming you're not a fucking whiny 10 year old who haven't reached puberty yet, that is, which is what I've been inclined to believe since you started your impotent, baseless bitching.

I really hope someone can fine tune some new features and balance the X2 to play like a guerrilla war.

The base mechanics are there, with the pressure of finishing missions quickly, ambushes, evac after completing objectives, or things go south.

In my first Ironman Legendary, it really felt like I was fighting a war of desperation. I was dropping missions, people were wounded and dead, I would complete a mission and then bail because the enemy was too strong, wounded and dead soldiers everywhere. It was actually really fun. There was only one problem: it meant I was losing. Which means that a guerilla style campaign is unsustainable.

If a campaign could actually be balanced around a standard 50%-75% mission completion rate with wounded and dead soldiers being the norm, it would be a fantastic way to play.

>>135621854
We need infrastructure attack missions and gene clinic assaults. Blowing up bridges and shit would be cool as fuck.

The supply-raid missions involving trains should become two-stage IMO, the first stage involving destroying a section of track and a second stage that plays out like a normal supply-raid does now.

>>135622008
Yeah, unfotunately what he is going for is really tough missions, but the overall campaign is still balanced around winning missions.

>>135622176

>>135622176
Make a bigger mod. More Dark Events and the bonuses they provide are permanent. You have to do a raid in order to remove them.

MECs have a new targeting software to increase aim? Raid their production facility and plant some X4 to solve the problem. ADVENT get dragon rounds? Attack their armory to steal them for yourself.

>>135622176
>the first stage involving destroying a section of track and a second stage that plays out like a normal supply-raid does now.
I do like the idea of multistage missions similar to the final mission but aren't supply raids just caused by an ied placed by local resistance and called in for xcom to sweep?

>>135621823
>Xenofaggotry =/= furfaggotry
Which is why I listed them separately.
They're just as bad.
The Viper's design is not that of an alien, but that of a naga. The equivalent would be to take some furry OC, make it an alien race, and then claim it's xenophilia as opposed to furfaggotry. It's still furfaggotry because it relies on the design of a creature.

I wasn't around for a detailed explanation of his mods but from the looks of it, it seems things are just prolonged in both his strategic and tactical games. Things take longer but the lose conditions are more relaxed to compensate.

>>135621854
I know narrative is far from Firaxis' strong suit but I feel like they should have not started off with the Avenger being all ready to fly and all that

I feel like the game could be a great narrative experience if you start off as a commander of a random resistance sect carrying on the legacy of XCOM in a certain region and running smaller missions for the first half of the game
Then halfway through you encounter some big setpiece mission that finally gets the attention of the legendary Bradford and XCOM, and the game plays out more like it does now from there

Would let the game have both the resistance/cobbled together aspect that they were supposedly going for as well as the more traditional XCOM that they have now

So flipped from how it is now. You play the resistance trying to contact XCOM, not the other way around.

>>135622539

Not with AoE weapons. This is very obvious. Why the hell do you think grenades cause friendly fire?

>>135622757
There is no such thing as a furry or xenolover that isn't bad.

>>135622427
Ooh, I like that idea. If you weren't careful you'd have to deal with compounding Dark Events.

>>135622489
Yup, afaik every stopped supply train is halted in front of a destroyed length of track.

I've always thought that it was a really lazy explanation since there would have to be excellent communication between local resistance and XCOM for all the pieces to fall into place as they do now. Coordination like that doesn't exist as far as we know, only tips and leads; it's way more believable to have XCOM run the show from top to bottom.

>>135622918
I hate most furfags, but snekposters changed my view of them specifically by generally being good sports and not posting scalie porn, and earned their right to be regarded separately from the general furfag cancer.

This is what you call having an open mind and being fair (read: Not being a stubborn faggot).

Would you condemn your neighbor after finding out that he's a (non-obnoxious, reserved) xenolover, even if he's been the nicest, most level-headed person you've ever met in your life up until this point?

>>135623529
>Would you condemn your neighbor after finding out that he's a (non-obnoxious, reserved) xenolover, even if he's been the nicest, most level-headed person you've ever met in your life up until this point?
Not him, but yes. All race traitors must die. I wouldn't badger and berate him, though. It's unwarranted and undignified. Same goes with the snake advocates.

>>135623717
this desu

>>135622898
I can understand why he might think that it wouldn't cause friendly fire, seeing as how the attack was with a gun rather than with explosives. XCOM logic can be a hell of a drug, you routinely make medium/long-range shots at a target that is literally on top of a friendly to free someone from a snek bind, which would never, EVER be okay IRL.

>>135622898

It was the shred gun, specifically.

The setup is that I effectly cleared a retrieve the box mission and was just cleaning up. The map was the meat factory. So it was inside a large building. I had the sniper use the wraith suit to move into a room and unfortunately discovered the last pod of two vipers. They pop, the gk shoots the sniper and then the viper pulls and bounds her while the second viper runs right to another soldier and binds them as well.

So in one turn I had two bound units and a GK in the loose. I figured blow some holes to get some LoS and peel off the vipers to get my sniper to retreat.

I still think being phased out in the wraith suit should make you immune to binding attacks.

>>135623918
>make medium/long-range shots at a target that is literally on top of a friendly to free someone from a snek bind, which would never, EVER be okay IRL.
Of course it would be okay. It would be a necessary measure, as a matter of fact.

All you gotta do is shoot ACCURATELY and hit the snek, not spray your gun in a cone area in front of you, hoping it won't hit your friend.

>>135624121
In real life you cannot expect to accurate hit the snek without having the projectile penetrate and hit the bound person, theres a reason human shields work.

>>135624424

Wouldn't the snek be the shield in this case? It would be like a 200 lb layer of meat armor.

>>135624424
The snek wraps herself around the person, not hide behind them. There's a pretty good chance of you hitting her if you aim well.

Besides, what else are you gonna do if not shoot the snek when you can't move up close to melee her? Let her keep your friend? Blow him the fuck up instead of trusting your shooting skills and will to save him from certain death?

>>135622427
Sounds pretty legit, I like both of this concept.

I've always wanted more control over what missions I could go on. The way you unlock facility missions is actually a pretty good model, you could make it so that alot of these missions are on the geoscape to be taken at any time, and some of them cost intel or supplies to unlock.

>>135622751
Could be nice to be able to run a real resistance movement and then transition to the rest of the xcom campaign. Almost like a prequel section. I'd still want changes to the way the base game plays though.

>>135624121
If you had to do it, it would be at close range and at an angle that minimizes the risk for the person bound, not from a distance and from any angle. Even then, I hope for the sake of whoever's bound that you have an "M" badge pinned to your pilotka.

>>135624424
this as well, assuming that you're attacking accurately from a distance, you're using an intermediate/big boy caliber, and the threat of overpenetration would be real.

>>135624682
>pretty good chance of hitting her
You want to minimalize the chance that you put a bullet in your friend however you can, especially if you can get up close and personal. A "pretty good chance" isn't something you want to act on in this case.

>Besides, what else are you gonna do if not shoot the snek when you can't move up close to melee her? Let her keep your friend?
Slinging lead from a distance at a target like that is a death sentence for whoever's bound, you don't want to try a stunt like that unless it's absolutely necessary.

Too bad, it's what you'll get because this is XCOM, not real life.

Just don't use Area of effect weaponry in your dudes next time and be done with it.

Either way you've trapped yourself in a nice little corner by going for one of the Internet's favorite punching bags. The fact you're being so salty about it just makes it even more amusing.

I've encountered an extreme bug during a retaliation mission. The AI simply decided to stop working at a certain turn, the enemies refused to react at all. They simply stood there and took all of the shit I did to them.

I figured, maybe this is just a one-time-thing and continued to play. Now I'm on an ufo-mission and the AI still refuses to act at all. Did I just break my Legendary campaign?

>>135626267
I've seen other anons report this, but I don't remember the solution.

>>135625908
Somebody said that XCOM's unbinding mechanic wouldn't fly in real life 99% of the time, somebody else said that it would and listed reasons why, and the conversation progressed from there. Reread the discussion and see for yourself.

Any "real life snek shooting logistics" are all completely invalidated and unecessary due to the fact that sneks don't exist in real life, Anon. Nobody really cares. All that matters is what happens in the game. Let's just chill.

Now, let me read your mind -- no, perhaps I should say, your campaign.

You are a very hotheaded man, the type that always restarts your game whenever he misses a 98% hit chance on a flanked enemy.

You are a highly skilled Commander, well suited for Concealed missions.

You are extremely fond of Meme Beacons. You are either very resourceful, or you are a coward!

Still dont believe me? Now I'll read more deeply into your game files!

Ah, I can see into your mod folder!

So, you like Free Camera Rotation? So, you like Non-tile-snapping Grenades? You like True Concealment, don't you? You enjoy cheating on turn-based games!

Hmmm. You have saved often. You like savescumming, don't you? I can read you like an open book!

You still don't believe me? I'll show you my psychomemetic power!

Put your Rookies on high cover. Put them on the best cover you can, that's good!

Now, I will crash your campaign with no survivors by the power of my will alone!
