Yeah, we already spoke about that on IRC. It's going to be a few days before I do any more recording, my cough has developed into a high temperature and today isn't going anywhere

Uploaded another episode (or at least, it's uploading now). I think you can tell I've still got a bit of a cold. Hopefully should be okay though

[papamaanbeer]

Good luck for the terror mission.

I didn't even get time to manufacture any armour! Maybe I should open a poll on the number of soldiers I'll still have alive at the end of the mission

Based on past performance I'm gonna say 13.

Best of luck with your future episodes, you're doing a really good LP, excellent if this is your first try.

Urm, you realised I started with 5, right?

Thanks. It's my first LP, and first time properly through OpenXCOM. I have played the original before, and seemed to do better at that

Just watched Episode 5 , loved it

Cheers

I would really recommend spending the 420K right from the start and get a tank. Use it to explore and sniff out the aliens, then you can better plan where to send your soldiers. The tank can take quite a beating if an alien decides to react and fire while it moves.

I used to die OFTEN and a LOT until I restarted a new campaign and got me a tank! Oh, I still die quite often, but much less than before!

[pmprog]

That's a good point. I keep thinking about that, but totally forget when I get in the game

I hope everyone can see that the game plays really well now, with some very worthwhile GUI upgrades and lots more on the way.

Strategery-wise, I tend to go straight for laser rifle rather than armor, because 1) you pretty much need lasers to tackle cyberdisks, 2) laser pistols give you something quickly that is cheap and useful to manufacture, 3) armor takes quite a long time to manufacture per unit until you have lots of engineers, 4) armor works best with the Medikit which you also have to research and build and 5) armor requires resources which you just may run out of in the early game.
