haha...ha...ha...this is gonna be a very high mortality run...
can we have a better look at trump?
Not really, 4 missions, 3 near squad wipes, and 2 failures in I had to scrap the whole campaign
This reminds me of the time my main Skype group went on daily binges of screenshare and chill. We each had a character that we customized through our generous host. All you must do to solve all your problems is recruit Pirate Purple Beard and his trusty crew. Frank Fork Face, Jason Jiggle Jock, Amy the (Explicit), and Sif. Sometimes Frank Horrigan came along for the sixth slot, other times we had Soupy Souperson assist. Nothing could defeat their combined might.

trump on offday again
Current talley of character pool dudes.
Ehks: 3 missions, 3 kills, a healthy showing for squad 1's shotgunner, though she is generally eclipsed by our grenade spammers
Carion: 3 missions, 5 kills, I don't even remember whose character this is, but for a specialist he's doing a damn fine job up there in squad 1
Shane: 3 missions, 2 kills, no idea for this guy either, but despite the lack of kills I wouldn't trade him for the world because he carries a laser designator that is a fucking godsend
Elena: 2 missions, 3 kills, Elena's one of my own, but she's been the tip of squad 2's spear pretty reliably
John: 3 missions, 8 kills, another one of my own, John's only job on the battlefield is to lob grenades over long distances and kill fucking everything. He does squad 1 proud.
Lou: 2 missions, 5 kills, I remember this guy is Umbra's and a joke, he launches grenades like John, but for squad 2.
Gregor: 2 missions, 5 kills, Comito's viking is one of the few, the proud, who strap a flamethrower and single-shot rocket launcher to their wrist to clear out large swathes of whatever looks at them funny. He's also handy with a rifle
Rommel: 2 missions, 2 kills, as per usual Rommel is more of a good luck charm than anything, where he goes, success follows.
Kallik: 2 missions, 2 kills, WHERE DO THESE GUYS COME FROM? Okay now I know squad 3 is the "reserve" squad but why does their grenadier only have 2 kills?
Allys: 2 missions, 4 kills, you guys actually don't know the guy who this character belongs to, but rest assured she is a fiend with her sword.
Sirius: 2 missions, 2 kills, Sirius is in the same spot as Ehks, although his shotgun is formidable and he is reasonably competent with it, the grenades are just objectively more efficient at murder
Trump: 1 mission, 1 kill, I gave him a gun and he shot a drone with it, I'm okay with this outcome.
i hear xcom 2's more engaging storylines are the war stories of their custom characters


this is surge's squad's theme song now




alternatively: make a black dude with an eyepatch and have him become mister explosion

nuff said, he's gonna build a wall and he's gonna make the ayys pay for it
Nice to see Gregor back in action.
Today's Battletech question:
Q: how many artillery pieces fit on a 150 ton Omega
A: 2 30 ton Long Tom Artillery Pieces, 1 15 ton Arrow IV artillery missile pod, 3 tons of ammo between them, and a C3 master unit for targeting. Also all 3 pieces are nuclear capable and you have hardened armor.

So Long War 2 is out...time to bust out the old character list and see who all will crash and burn.

XCOM2 characters are a bit different to set up, in EW I could rig it up with 1 name and wing it from there, slapping a random color on and picking armor as I pleased. XCOM2 has such a robust system (and now requires both a first AND last name) that I kinda need some vague direction.

Also as a note, the cosmetic mods grow ever crazier, the additions of salvaged Advent armor, tacticool gear, Titanfall gear and Halo Reach Spartan/Marine/ODST armor is now joined by retro XCOM EW gear, Mass Effect armor and aliens, and even a few Star Wars aliens and droids. So even I don't know how I could feasibly lay out an options list for you but if you wanna be a Turian or HK series droid or something wild I CAN DO THAT SHIT NOW.

I guess the most I can boil it down is that basically anything from Mass Effect, Halo, or even XCOM EW is doable on top of the base XCOM2 options.
