New X-COM game coming . . . and it's turn based strategy!

[ulmont]

So its impossible to do the game without losing nations?

From what I've seen, no.  You have to pre-build satellites like hell, sell everything else, and then launch your sats at the end of the month to lower panic.

[Scipio]

Well, I just reached the first mission I am not interested in fighting through- large, intact UFO on the ground.  Not happy at all.  And this is right after I first encountered Armored Mutons.  And I'm down to one Assault.  Sigh.

[jimmy olsen]

Never played the original. What difficulty should I start with?

Normal? Ironman?

[jimmy olsen]

Playing on Classic difficulty, no ironman (though I haven't reloaded yet).

Bodies are piling up fast, was I supposed to lose three guys in the tutorial.

So far in the tutorial and four missions I've lost 3, 1, 2, 2, and 2.

[katmai]

Yeah tutorial will always lose those three.

[Josquius]

I can't help but reload. I'm too much of a perfectionist

[Razgovory]

I can't help but reload. I'm too much of a perfectionist

That's why there is Ironman.  That's my problem as well, If I can reload I will.

[Grey Fox]

I lost Russia. Damn it. Even if it had a satellite over it. :shrug:

[Scipio]

Ironman Normal too easy, Ironman Classic just a bit too hard.

The most important thing is to get the OTS quickly, and get that first extra squad member.

Ironman seems a bit too harsh though. There are times when the game bugs up and things go weird through no fault of my own.

Yea stupid useless gunless shiv.........

[katmai]

started third attempt with classic/ironman.

Meri was promoted to sniper and promptly died.
Seedy is my main assault and nicknamed "pitbull"

[Grey Fox]

Seedy is my main Heavy, his nickname is Yeti.

Him & Tricky Dick are the 2 squad members that I will reload upon their death.

[Mr. Grey]

Finally had enough time to complete the last mission. I really enjoyed my first playthrough. It was only on normal, lost no nations, lost 14 people.

I guess it is time I move onto Classic!

I got really lazy towards the end and was shooting every UFO down with the fusion lance and sending 2 alloy shivs with my squad.

[jimmy olsen]

Ran into an annoying bug. Shot a ufo down and cleared it. Then when I fly home the plane goes to the Arctic and the view shifts to the globe and sticks there.
