That was fun 
Youre making a whole lp?

Yes. That is the plan.  Right now I am still testing behind the scenes. I want to make sure when I begin my Let's Play I have a good chance of succeeding at the campaign. Practice makes perfect!

Thanks for getting a chuckle out of my vid LuckyClover!

DM Wyvern provides a textbook example of how NOT to XCOM.

If you have a bit of modding knowledge..

1) Find the High Explosive entry in items.rul

2) Mod its power value to 2000 and blast radius to 1000

3) Prime and drop the HE any where in the mission map in your first turn

4) Either your watch computer crash and burn or.. You win! Mission went in your favour..

I am going to have to try this strat.

But seriously, I know that the original UFO Defense is the supersized version of: "This is XCOM, baby!" but could the vets here share some solid squad tactics for OpenXCOM to boost soldier survivability?

Open Feedback / Increasing Survival Chances

Hi Team!

Currently playing and loving Open XCOM. I got a handle over the vanilla economy, rush to laser cannons ASAP and sell them to every man, woman, and child on the planet.

But I am struggling with the squad combat.

I outfitted my troops in Power Armor but they are still getting wrecked. In one mission, one Turn 0 I lost both my HWP tanks on the ramp as they tried to disembark from the Skyranger, and when I finished my turn, my two frontmost soldiers got sniped.

The RNG can sometimes be amazing! How do I get it to work in my favor?

Open Feedback / Can you stack Smoke Grenades?

What it says on the tin. ^_^

I am wondering if you can stack multiple Smoke Grenades in Open XCOM to better obscure your troops and protect them from being sniped.
