I do tend to play more aggressively at times than I probably should. In this episode I also get too greedy and get punished a bit. [video=youtube_share;eJbv42mWeB8]

The couple I've done so far tend to end up as running firefights that would probably go a lot worse for me on a higher difficulty.

We had two in April, one we cleared and one we aborted in episodes 4 and 5.

Episode 10 is up. Also I'm second guessing my idea to go for psi before MEC/gauss (because Deluge) so feel free to weigh in if you have any thoughts on that. [video=youtube;008uKwaQPb4]

Clanky surprise! [video=youtube_share;SG0qZQaERAU]

Yes, destroyed power sources and such reduce your loot, which is Dependant on the intact sprites at the end of the mission. I'm not aware of any chart detailing the specifics.

1.5 is the current version number.

Site recon sucks the first time you see it, but after that it normally is pretty easy. Long war makes its bit harder with fun things like Lightning Reflexes but it's still relatively easy.

Desura is famous for being slow with their process for approving updates after they are submitted by devs.

Chrysallids for everyone! [video=youtube_share;vEpuhXbmmIA]

It resets monthly, and any soldiers you hire are instantly replaced.

Yep, there are a few of us around. There's a link in my sig to my recorded play through.

Probably the next major steam sale.

I love training roulette in vanilla, but I'm not really fond of it in long war because there are a few classes that are super weak without key talents. I didn't really consider dam roulette since LW already has a better damage spread than vanilla.

MOAR TERROR! And also Exalt, and abductions. Pretty much a bit of everything. [video=youtube_share;82hju5JnrRQ]

Yay!

Side armor would probably have been safer, but my goal was just to pull it back as far as I could. Turning it to present the side armor honestly didn't really occur to me.

Episode 6 is live, where me make a new Friend. [video=youtube_share;zp3XEGkafE4] Oh, and I learned that landed UFOs are treated as having an extra 30 days worth of research for the aliens, which is why I got mutons on April first.

Experimental builds aren't ported to Mac/Linux.

Episode 5 is also up, time for our first terror mission! [video=youtube;iVqgSdUqv9E]

And speaking of me being good at things, I forgot to post episode 4 here. [video=youtube;6kjpAhUVrNw]

I think I may have gotten lucky with some of my tank shots, but I'm not entirely certain of that. Turning the tank like that actually felt pretty safe most of the time, since it had already taken damage on the front armor and I was generally pulling it back at least a few tiles, which made it less likely to get shot due to simply moving out of alien vision range.

It absorbs damage equal to the armor value, the armor value is then reduced by a percentage of the damage absorbed. This reduction lasts for the rest of the mission, and I believe it is around 20 or 30% I forget the actual value.

Episode 30: Endgame I meant to split this into two parts, but I had some extra time and I accidentally the whole thing. [video=youtube_share;UAJh4uXywQE]
