thothkins Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Well, in a normal level mission against a light scout, I came back with three critically wounded, and one soldier very lucky to be alive. Very lucky indeed as he practically tripped on one of them at the end of a turn. Caesians use the defensive cover well. All of the live ones were out of the ship They attacked in numbers They were in sneakier positions (farm map) They supported each others fire I'm glad 3 of the 7 died in the crash. I'm glad that sniper rifles have been buffed a little in damage. That probably saved a life or two. I was a little more aggressive than usual, but not terribly, so a pleasant (and yet unpleasant at the same time ) surprise. I may have to invest in some armour in this build.

StellarRat Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 It wasn't a problem with the commander was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 how dare you Sir! I can have you shot for that. In fact, I'll do it myself! >bang< Stop moving! >bang< clearly you're too far away. >bang< or it's this gun. >bang< are these rounds live? >bang< You may have a point StellarRat. Now begone before I miss you with more shots! There. I think he learned his lesson. Now on to mission planning. Over the top, walk in a straight line slowly towards the enemy machine guns... just the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you hear that, did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about -- did you see him repressing me, you saw it didn't you?"

thothkins Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'll have you know I'm the Xenonaut Commander because the lady of the lake raised aloft Excalibur in a signal of divine providence. I can't smite anything with it and all the knights were mown down in the first slow walk against machine gun fire, but that's all beside the point.

Supreme command authority derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcicial aquatic ceremony!" thothokins: "Be quiet!" StellarRat: "Oh but you can't expect to wield Supreme command authority just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!" thothokins: "SHUT UP!" StellarRat: "Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Commander, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!"

Ishantil Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I just finished my first mission. I'm using slightly modified shotguns, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josip Broz Tito Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 The snipers didn't feel to different to me. I noticed the one-shots on occasion, but they were the go-to weapon in last patch too. Thankfully they suck vs aliens in cover : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
