Aw hell no. Shit's gettin' personal.
From the looks of it, the "ant farm" seems markedly similar. I am looking forward to purchasing more access lifts.
Holy shit, the strategy layer is a quantum leap over EU. Damn, Firaxis has outdone themselves.
funny that someone earlier said "firaxis is not known for suprise"
That customization is music to my ears.

I'm saying gameplay wise.
Don't expect much, and you'll be surprised. Expect something, and you'll want to string yourself up.

I was already planning on doing VIKING-COM and NICK-COM, with this customization system it's more than possible..
Looks like the excavation equivalent will be clearing out all the random alien shit in the various rooms.

Maybe you'll get a couple alloys for clearing out a room?
Also, it looks like there's at least some degree of customization to the scientists and engis. Some have like pink suits, I doubt the game would automatically assign them that color. I wonder if they'll play into base defenses?

[B]Vahlen is "lost"[/B]
Richard Tygan is ex-ADVENT and has an X scar on the back of his head
Scientists and Engineers have names and nationalities now
Can add staff to areas to increase recover/creation time
Raymond Shen is dead and Lilly Shen is Raymond Shens daughter
Raymond Shen found the Avenger before dying
Lilly has a pet Gremlin
Experimental ammo/grenades are randomized
Can train Rookies straight into classes now
Soldiers have customizable attitude/demeanor
Venom Ammo is a thing
Can get shot down which leads to a special mission type[/QUOTE]
What does this mean?
it means her whereabouts are unknown
[QUOTE=joshuadim;48384664]What does this mean?[/QUOTE]
She went to find a bathroom on the Avenger and hasn't been heard from since.
I don't know about any of you, but I'm going to dress my soldiers depending on the environment and climate of the mission.
So for deserts I hope I can give my troops short sleeves and shorts like its North Africa circa 1942.
Overall I am INCREDIBLY impressed with what they've shown of the game and abandoned cities is another factor into that. So many good games coming out this year.
I would love a mission that involves finding her or evidence of her whereabouts. I could see her helping out some of the outskirt rural communities or something.
I like to imagine that the Avenger has some sort of Chryssalid infestation or Ayyy presence within the holds. Instead of excavating, you have to clear out the Holds of the Ayyy presence.
According to a couple of attendees the demo actually starts off in first person with you getting a bunch of ADVENT augments removed from your body which is what leads to Tygans intro and is probably the reason he has a scar on the back of his head.

ADVENT probably implants a lot of tracking and biometric equipment to passively gather data and track the human population.
They also probe your anus while you're asleep and that is why we have collaborators.

This would be neat, it'd add a lot of interactivity with your base which appears to be one of the main focuses Firaxis has right now.
I'm curious as to how they'll handle air combat. It's likely that they'll just remove it entirely, but it feels like missing out on an opportunity considering you're controlling a massive spaceship and all.

They stated that they found it abandoned/shot down then XCOM modified it.
Would be hard to miss alien nests when you're adjusting powerlines, wiring, installing four big-ass engines, etc.
I can't wait to make an XCOM squad based on the Taliban, ISIS, and Republika Srpska. Also one person at all times will be the designated sovereign citizen and will wear casual dress with sunglasses.

[QUOTE=joshuadim;48384664]What does this mean?[/QUOTE]
To me that means shes in the game and based on what we know about advent i can see her being the reason behind their augmensts,as a straight up collaberator or maybe even against her will.

You know I just had a really dark thought:
You can edit nationalities now right? How long will it be until someone puts together an all-arabic or all-slavic XCOM?

Why not an all 'Murica, aviator wearing buff white dude XCOM?

STOP READING MY MIND SECTOID!
Gotta be honest i'm glad they added nationality and sex change. I like diversity, having 20 soldiers in the barracks come from Iraq for example does get annoying, especially when you want the squad diversity medal.
I just didn't like getting 75% women because I could never give them good names.
