Cerazor's Veteran LP
« on: September 03, 2016, 09:47:16 am »
So I've decided to try my hand at creating a lp. It's probably going to be really bad since it's my first. But if you want soldiers to be named after you. Post your desired name in the comments.


-Feedback, Likes/Dislikes and Comments are Good and Appreciated-


-OpenXCOM Vanilla play-through
-Updated Music and Sound
-Veteran Difficulty
-Will be updated when I can

-The frequency of this will be 1-2 episodes per week. Maybe more depending on the circumstances.

-No save scumming, only saving once per mission incase of crashes.
-No spamming of smoke unless It's a terror mission.

That's not a bad idea, I don't think there's a Hard-On Mode LP yet. :) And I'd certainly watch it.

If you do, please sign me in as Dena Allante. :)

The name is "Hardmode Expansion" ... and he would be basically obliged to play in Superhuman to get the full spawns and pains, a pleasures of the aliens.

EDIT: UFO Extender Accuracy can be used, it should work properly (my current testrun is with it turned on).

Hmm. I actually haven't done a Superhuman run of the original in a very very long time. I'll keep it in my mind. Infact I'll download the mod and write it down. It sounds very interesting.

Also I've written your names down. My personnel life has been a bit busy lately, lots of noise around the house and I've been gone to see how my friends new hobby store has been going since I helped the shelves in it and put everything into place.

But I'll try and record an episode or two tonight. OBS is really finicky with working with OpenXCOM sometimes that and it's generally nice and quiet then.

If I do a Superhuman Run. I think I'd get rekted pretty hard plus this is a Hardmode mod. Is it really THAT Hard? Cause I really don't want to start my first lp and get stomped by immediately.

Well i balanced it for Superhuman Difficulty. But start with whatever difficulty you see fit, difficulty can be changed in the savegame files anyway. The main difference will be that aliens do have lower stats and lower armor and lower numbers.
For example a alien base has a maxspawn of 46 aliens on superhuman, 60x60x2 map and up to 15 of the enemies spawning can be terrorunits.

And you can have mixes of terrorunits and aliens.
If you do not wanna play on Superhumna thats also fine, you can increase difficulty later always, be changinng it in the savegame files.

You will see, you could give it a try :) (Iam waiting for when you encounter the first new Terror Units, like Muton Berserker and Armored Cyberdiscs).

EDIT: You can see how fights are, just open up a Terrormission in "New Battle" vs a Skyranger crew. Example Mutons, medium game time equipment vs X-Com Personal Armor + Lasers or so.

EDIT2: There is a big number of equipment available, Sniper Rilfes, Shotguns, Grende Launchers etc.. they are all balanced and the aliens also do have them.

Use Version 0.99.2c and you can use the newest available openxcom_git_master_2016_09_04_2223 without problems. I will provide ruleset upgrades for the BETA version, if the devs change something in the future so rest assured.

I tried it out on a Medium Floater UFO. Everything was going fine. Then Gazer's and Shotguns. Someone needs a medal and a trip to the loony bin.

I hope you didn't use the normal Shotgun with Alloy Ammo, i doubt that you can kill Gazers with them. Scatter Lasers and Heavy Lasers always worked fine.

A trip to the loony bin? Sorry didn't quite catch that.

Loony bin = an insane asylum or the psychiatric ward of a hospital for the mentally ill.

Thanks Meridian. The Gazer is criminally insane. I was also using mostly ballistic weapons with the exception of weapons scavenged off the enemies on New Battle seeing what its like.

Oh ok, usually you would have Laser weapons until gazers come ingame. Try out Mutons, they have some nice additions now with them, pic the first Muton Race in the list, ballistic weapons i do not recommend vs them.

EDIT: Pic a mission with terrorunits.
