New video, nothing special. I set up a new team of rookies and research the first commander.

How is that bad news? I'm enjoying the beatdown! It is well deserved!

That mission with the 2 commanders was probably the most exciting mission in the series!

Yes, that was the best mission so far. Not only in what I gained but also in pacing.

Russian Overkill and OP are synonymous, there is no balance (or common sense) in this mod and that's why it's so good.

So I have a good and a bad news.
- The good news is that I am now on the golden path to finish the game. I attacked a colony and it went hilariously well.
- The bad news is that I don't think it can get any better, what we have right here is the campaign at peak performance.

Dang, that sucks. Well let's all get shitfaced and watch the fireworks!

And here's the disaster, enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOWNWhw9hj8

I'll bring you and Sebastien Tellier back, but in compliance with ironman so that'll be done by renaming other psionic soldiers.

Here's a bonus, this is what happened right afterwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al73skckPig

Well, I just recorded and lost almost all of you in a map dickery: the exit of artifact sites are one tile narrower than their room.

I need a drink.

I'm so happy we're getting some experience! It's neat that I'm a psi-wizard and Yataka is a super gunner.


I have just one suggestion: could you maybe give Yataka a gauss rifle and then mind control a lobsterman for him to do point-blank target practice? He has a good starting accuracy but he'll need a bunch of training to become really super.

Also letting an unarmed tasoth soldier run amuck surrounded by a square of soldiers with dart guns makes good reactions practice.

There will be some training while the wizards get their powers, I very rarely do such tactics so that should be interesting.

And now, we MC the lobstermen to hell and back.

Yep you are going to see action soon, because I unlocked the MC disruptor!

Now we need to get psy skill up and the campaign should be sailing towards victory.

I should have posted the latest batch no?

There you go:

Unlocking the MC disruptor is taking age but at least I lose nearly no soldiers to aquatoids and gillmen.

I may try fighting Tasoths or Lobstermen for !!FUN!! or give one of the bases a go now I got at least a few identified psy-weak soldiers to serve as decoys.

It seems like all you manage to find are tasoths and lobstermen. I think the game hates you. You got a pretty cool run against that gill man ship though.

Yes, the game want me dead. But seemingly I am doing very well, despite the sea turning red from the blood of rookies.

Okay so two episodes, in one I get very salty and in the other I get very happy.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFgY3J8fqCM
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiYY9h2UMbc

I get a crazy high score and a money bonus. I'm not even sure where this came from.

Now the MC labs are starting to see results. Once I get enough soldiers with psy strong (for DPL) and weak (for nothing but smoke grenades) stats, I tackle one of the three bases of the map. Getting a MC reader at this point should be easy.

I can't believe you let that calcinite live! The whole time you were moving around it I was screaming in my head noo get the calcinite! Man, you almost had a perfect base defense.

I couldn't believe I did not see it either. I was too focused on the last aquatoid up in the lift.

I play late at night too so my mental ability varies very wildly (as seen in those two videos).

Oh no, base defense!

I hired a TON of rookies right before the attack. The aquatoids had no chance.

Nice series! It's great to find an active let's play for once. I'll be keeping up with this series!

Can I get a soldier named after me?

I'm not sure how it is for TFTD, but I know in the first game it was the large scouts that had the best chance to drop mind probes, and the only chance in late game I think. The equipment sets vary by the map/UFO/USO so one map can set MC Readers to be equipped on everyone that holds a sonic pistol while other maps might not have MC Reader available at all ever. Try USO types you haven't assaulted in the past.

I'll look into it further and get back to you on that later today.

edit:
You can find MC Reader on rank 3 (at tech level 1) and rank 4 (at tech level 2) aliens on Battleship USO, any terror site, or alien base assault. In alien base assaults, at tech level 2, you can find MC Reader on both rank 3 and rank 4.
Aquatoid rank 3 is Technician and rank 4 is Squad Leader.
Gill Men Squad Leaders are rank 2 and 3, and soldiers are rank 4 and 5.
Lobsterman rank 3 is Squad Leader, while rank 2 and 4 are Technician.
Tasoth ranks 0, 1, 3, and 4 are Squad Leader.
In Mixed Crew 1, rank 3 is Aquatoid Soldier and rank 4 is Tasoth Squad Leader.
In Mixed Crew 2, rank 3 is Aquatoid Soldier and rank 4 is Lobsterman Squad Leader.

Thanks, I did a hunt for small ships and it's good to know I can equip my interceptors with sonic cannons and blast away.

I added you for the next episode after this one.

And here goes thinking that this month was the last of the campaign. We get a score, it's a number alright.

But I have a problem. I do not have a MC reader so my hopes of MCing the game to death vanished. Is there a better to wait for it to drop besides praying the RNG gods for a tiny ship?
