Title: Would you play a X-Com/Evil Genius love child?
Post by: Incognito on February 18, 2014, 10:07:25 pm: I mean there is no such thing I'm aware of, but the idea appeals to me lately, sort of X-Com with more in-depth base building in the vain of Evil Genius, Dungeon Keeper ... even alittle bit Theme Hospital. Layout rooms, corridors, internal defenses etc, build amenities to make your personnel happy, etc.

Just a thought.

Or unless X-Com missions are just dice rolled in which case it would be Evil Genius.

But when you zoom in on base management its not just a small grid of pre-sized rooms viewed from afar ... its, well a larger grid of custom-sized rooms view more closely (As you would see them in battlescape) where you can watch your engineers building stuff, soldiers training and relaxing and your scientists sciencing in semi-real time (Either time is ticking by slowly or its paused in the geoscape, but you still watch your personnel do their thing).

This game must be made someday.

Post by: Mr. Quiet on February 19, 2014, 05:04:05 am: These kinds of games have always appealed to me... an X-COM base sim, oh yeah! But yeah, anything about running X-COM in-general, give it to me! As long as it's done right.

Post by: Pierzasty on February 20, 2014, 07:05:26 pm: Do you mean an "evil X-Com" mod? You build alien bases, cloning facilities, earn resources from human/cattle abduction, send UFOs on various other missions, search out and invade those pesky X-Com bases, with the eventual goal of signing treaties with all major powers and/or having X-Com dismantled?

I'm in.

Well, I was thinking more of an "X-Com meets The Sims" game, where we can observe daily life in your base, know your soldiers better, maybe follow some kind of romance between them... But your idea definitely has potential too!

Well no, but that seems like a pretty kicking idea too.
