[QUOTE=Snoberry Tea;49831317]I just noticed the thread title about Shen and his daughter Lily.
Shen wasn't black, he was Taiwanese :v:[/QUOTE]
Wrong, he was black. He went by Shen because he was embarrassed to go by his full last name of Sheniqua.
It's in the novel
Y'all are weird like Thin Men

Tygan's Chinese though.
What no Tygan is Finnish

Now you're confusing Tygan with Bradford.
Bought the game recently, hope those infamous timers won't stop me from enjoying the game. It really sounds like a big deal and it probably is for a lot of people. Rushing isn't really my type of strategy. Although I heard there are some mods that remove the timers. Still I'd rather enjoy the vanilla game.

Definitely try vanilla, it may just suit you. There's enough time most of the time. If you won't like it, just install the mod that extends the timers by a couple extra turns - I use that mod and it's just right for me.

The timers aren't that bad unless you're stuck in the habit of half moving and overwatching everyone every turn really, I never had much issue with them.

Bradford is from Nigeria, dude.
[QUOTE=Snoberry Tea;49831596]Bradford is from Nigeria, dude.[/QUOTE]
Yes, he's a Finn from Nigeria, what's so confusing about that? But that's all off topic anyway, main question remains unanswered. How can Vahlen be Latina if Commander's an alien?

Because the Sponsor is a South Korean Fishmonger who started XCOM to help him sell fish in Japan. XCOM originally stood for "Xtremely Competitive Octopus Market" but what he didn't realize was Advent had already built a fish factory in Novosibirsk to sell Nintendo Station 3's to South American bus drivers.

It just feels extremely forced and the first few missions were already tight. Honestly, it just feels awful to lose a mission that you executed perfectly and only lost because of one turn.
In a mission where I had to destroy a relay, I set up an awesome ambush and only lost by one round because I needed one more shot at that thing. Then in the next mission where I'm supposed to extract a person, I got three guys next to the evac point but I lost them all because of one turn. It just feels extremely awful.
So completed the game now, my medic 'Fixer' died at very end but he was bleeding out so I guess we saved him at the end? :v: And one weird graphical glitch happened, linked it for spoilers.

anyhow next playthrough will be some stupid shit - increase squad size to like 8 but make every single soldier have exactly the same armour combo and colours and wear Clone Trooper helmets.

There's that mod on the workshop that stops the extraction clocks from ticking until you break concealment. I know a lot of XCOM players hate that mod but it has made the game infinitely more enjoyable for myself.
Drop into capture VIP mission. VIP is right next to the spawn point. End mission in two turns.

Missed out on some experience/loot/alien bodies but hot damn, how convenient.
IMO Timers shouldn't straight up end the mission, they should spawn a bunch of reinforcement nodes or something & make the mission a lot harder.
Right now as it stands, even if they make contextual sense and are meant to keep you from overwatch spamming, they're just extremely annoying and actively limit enjoying the game.

Hey everyone, I've release Wave 2 of my Jagged Alliance Voicepack.

Before anyone asks, I'm going to halt progress on the Jagged Alliance Voicepacks until after I make a video showcasing both of them. This week and next week will be dedicated on making a video, and my long deserved break.

Dude the Combine would make amazing Advent voicepacks
Nothing they say will ever be able to replace GREAT TITS AHOY tho :v:
[QUOTE=Snoberry Tea;49833004]Dude the Combine would make amazing Advent voicepacks[/QUOTE]
Why not go all the way and just straight-up add Combine in?
Hell, it's a possibility for them to replace Advent mooks since the post above has proven that model swaps work.

A good place to start for a HL2 total conversion.
Then look no further.
