So... here's an update to my superhardcoreironmanmode game. Suicidally playing enemy within (Played Enemy unknown through at least) through for the first time in high difficulty ironman. Current standing:
- Lost 5 countries
- Lost 14 operatives.
Since eliminating fleshy meatsacks from my party, my casualty rate has dropped 84%!
Hawt mech on mech action
Welcome to Earth!
Dude, watch your fire... seriously, those alien food modules are worth like 20 credits each, I want to sell this shit after!
Psionics can kiss my metal ass. You can't hack machines with your mind!
Everyone talks about making a full party with mimetic skin, I don't doubt that'd work wonders; I do have an operative with mimetic skin (My main psion/support character who serves as medic/repairs/alien abductor/spotter for my mech team). But, seems liek if anyone died you'd lose soo much precious meld. MEC's by contrast while expensive are a permanent investment. If they go down you just scrape the previous pilot out and stick a new one in it.
