The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

PC is always better.

With the exception of sports games, I still have yet to see a single game of any kind where this is not true.

What sucks is seeing PC games UI's neutered to be worakable with two joystics and 8 buttons.

So after six missions,

Beeb has joined the ranks And been designated as Heavy Weapons just like Meri, Derspicy is support class joining Seedy. And just one assault soldier, that being CF.
only sniper I have is rng Japanese soldier who is also highest ranking xcom at
Lt.

I'm enjoying it (the original is reason I first bought a PC). You can customize your squads name, nickname and appearance as well as the color tint of armor, but can't customize their nationality hence why no Syt yet on my squad.

Important to get satellites to reduce panic on the continent you don't choose as home
Base. (How I lost France was overlooking satellites)

Ran into three species so far the sectoids, thin men shown in demo and new
Class.

Missions have been 1 scripted rescue important figure, two downed ufos and three alien abductions site.
And most important is remember to end squad in cover (brazen died) and to being medi packs(jaron died)

Make me a sniper! Not a Japanese one though :P
have no control of what class the soldier gets designated.
All rookies start generic class and after one or two missions are given class.
So odds of Hungarian becoming sniper are 1/4. :P
