Guest Azrael
Finally made the darn thing work, thanks to Mark0 :master: (http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=841), so I'll make the game in Easy, since I haven't played in ages and only beat it in Novice, just for the fun I'll have it be simple, so, who wants to save Mega-Primus? :Deal:
I'll play Real Time, and will try to tell it someway like SupSuper used to do, which is very fun :). About the game, anyone knows how can I run it in window mode? I can't seem to make it do so, and is there a quick way to take screenshots? or just with Print Screen and then copy/paste to Paint? Edited by Azrael

Sign me up with:
Auto Cannon (AP) -> Dual Plasma Gun -> Devastator -> Toxigun
Megapol Torso and Legs -> Marsec torso and Legs -> exchange the legs by one shield when you have some...
2 stun grenades, motion scanner, one teleport when you have. Edited by alok

screenshots: ALT+P, saves an image in TIFF format or something I believe.
You can sign me up too, don't care too much about equipment, autocannons with IC ammo would be nice though :)
edit: it's PCX format
edit2: perhaps this thread has a better home in xcom3 : saved games&missions? All the other fmix signups seem to be located there at least.
edit3: don't forget roadwar, to enhance your road vehicle experience ;) (gotta do some advertising) Edited by j'ordos

I would recommend converting any screenshot into a jpeg, or a 256 colour png/gif file before you post it. Pcx or tiff files tend to be quite large. Resizing or cropping the picture so that you can focus more on certain points of interest in the action would be nice as well.

Lets see

Android
Duo Autocannons
both loaded with AP
1 AP, HE, and IC clip on each side of the belt(total of 6 extra clips)
Megapol Armor
2 smokes on the shoulders
medikit
a few stun and AP grenades, maybe 2 stunners and 2-4 APs

Yes, i do like having a ton of weapons

In real-time they do work together, in turn-based mode you get the same effect as in UFO and TFTD: you can fire 'em both, but not at the same time, so you only get the disadvantages of dual-wielding, while not getting any of the extra firepower.

Hmm... food :Drool:

Hoooray! Found my Apoc CD - and it's still working (and I still hate the slow mouse movement ;) ) So if you can afford it, I'll take the M4000 or Laser (preferable the 2nd :) ) -> single Plasma -> Devastator or Toxi A/B/C and one or two Psi grenades. Armor: Normal -> Marsec ->X-Com
Don't get my nice parts in trouble! :P Edited by Mad

Yea, it is not mentioned in the Acopedia, but you can equip your Soldiers with it. It has a power of 80 and creates a strong psionic-flash...

Good question... Maybe they are available some day just like the plasma rifle is available at the beginning of the 2nd month? Might be a side effect of the trainer I downloaded this morning to get every entry in the Apocpedia so I could remember all the available weapons. Hm. Cannot remember how it was when I actually played Apoc. You'll have to wait and see... tell me how it ended. For the time beeing I'll take a normal grenade... :) Edited by Mad

Psi grenade, along with many other items were dropped from the game, the only way to get them is by using an editor (exception would be the mind shield, which you can still get by raiding marsec buildings)

UFO SPOTTED! Scramble all ships, the Valkyrie will target the big one, send the Phoenix Hovercars to target the smaller UFOs, get them!!

(Valkyrie 1)> It's making a run for it!... it's gone through the Gate.
(Phoenix 2)> Same here, they are retreating, they didn't even fire a single shot!
(Stormdog 1)> But they did something to those buildings, I think I saw a tube?
(Control)> Valkyrie 1, proceed to Transtellar's Star Port and find out if something happened to the building.
(Valkyrie 1)> Heading in.

Looks like more alien hunting :), time to clean Trans-tellar.

Squad 2 kills and stuns the brainsuckers with regular and stun grapple weapons. Squad 1 goes up the gravlift and kills 4 chrysallis.

(alok)> A worm! kill it!
The worm spits on Mad
(j'ordos)> More of the yellow things, quick, fall back behind that cover.
Squad 2 falls back and fires upon the creatures, another brainsucker leaps upon Mad, the Squad kills it.
(Mad)> I'm injured, cover me.
Mad retreats and pulls out a Medikit.
Squad 2 finishes off the Worm and kills the resulting hyperworms
(blehm)> Eeeek, it reproduced!
(j'ordos)> FIRE! ANOTHER ONE!
Another multiworm appears and fires more acid.
Squad 2 finishes off the worm, sustaining multiple injuries, although not too bad.

PROMOTIONS (sorry, forgot to take a screenshot :P)

He also caught a couple of civillians in the fire and killed them shortly after :) it's a good thing they don't discount me points from dead civillians :P

Ah, we've observed another UFO dropping more Aliens into the Government's Luxury Apartments, we'll drop Mad at the base for recovery and pick up Abyssion who will take his place in Squad 2 :), ah yes, and more IC ammo for dipstick :P

Throw me in the pile. If you're feeling crazy, see if you can get Overkill to work. If you can, I ask three things;

Increase Autocannon Firerate (The higher the better. It caps out around 3-4 shots per halfsecond so you needn't set it /too/ high)

Increase Clip Capacity (Guess why :wink1: )

Have my character be a 'bot or android.

'nuff said. :D

"Reviving" (i.e. buying another trooper and renaming it) you would cost money, so quiet :P But don't worry, you won't feel lonely, alok is also injured so we'll drop him along and pick up Kratos and Abyssion, so you can rest :D

>Kratos and Abyssion, you're up, get your gear and move!
(Kratos)> Yes, sir!
(Abyssion)> Yes, sir!
(Mad)> But I want to stay!

Let's go clean the apartments before the Alien infection spreads further :)

[MISSION START = GOVERNMENT'S LUXURY APARTMENTS]
Squad 1: Azrael, dipstick, mikker and kafros.
Squad 2: Abyssion, Kratos, blehm and j'ordos.

*lurking, worm sounds*
(kafros)> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
(Azrael)> Stop that, we haven't even seen them yet!
:P

Squad 2 proceeds to check the open area by the pool, Squad 1 covers the corridor. Kratos spots an Arhropod inside a structure through the glass and opens fire aiming carefully but breaking glass only, j'ordos and blehm proceed to enter the structure to take the creature down.

(kafros)> AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
(Azrael)> Would you stop..? what the..?
A brainsucker is grabbing kafros' head.
(mikker)> It's got kafros, shoot it!
dipstick opens fire with Megapol Auto Cannon and kills the sucker!

(Abyssion)> There is a pinky one inside too!
Kratos shoots with no success.

A worm crawls from the staircase near Squad 1, along with a brainsucker.
(Azrael)> There they are, get them!

j'ordos enters the structure (a business?) and sees 1 arthropod and 2 spitters, quickly throws a stun grenade which fails to land near the Aliens, changes to IC ammo and opens fire at the spitters, the arthropod ran into the shadows, not before firing a brainsucker pod, somewhere around.

(j'ordos)> :devillaugh:
[attachment=7542:attachment]

(Kratos)>Must...kill...X-Com...
(Abyssion)>No you won't!
Abyssion shoots the brainsucker that appeared out of nowhere out of Kratos' head.
(Kratos)>Destroy...Kill..
(Abyssion)> I got him already, quit it!
(Kratos)>Ok :P

~~ExoEdit: Merged~~ [:D]

[quote name='Kratos']How are you putting those pictures of our avatars in the game? or is it just a screenshot modified?[/quote]
j'ordos gave me some files, to change with Midnight Editor and so I can have your avatars replace regular X-Com faces :)
J'ordos> Could you please send me Abyssion and Kratos' avatars? :)

kafros runs out of ammo for his M4000 and pulls out his Stun Grapple in hopes of catching something close range :P

j'ordos fires IC rounds to the Multiworm that is quite away from him. A spitter walks near the broken glass and spits Kratos, who retaliates with laser fire and then chases the Spitter inside the structure.
*zooooing* A door right next to Squad 2 opens and another Multiworm appears, but seems rather scared so turns tail and tries to run away, but Squad 2 opens fire with all hands (except Kratos who is hunting the Spitter).
j'ordos has ran out of AP rounds so switches to his Megapol Lawpistol and fires (can't have explosions near my troopers, can I? :P)
Squad 1 continues to fire the Multiworm. Inside the business, j'ordos shooting has set the whole place on fire, the corpses of a Spitter and an Arthropod are visible.

~~*bl0rp*~~ (Merged :D)

While busy firing at the Multiworm (which manages to escape, wounded), the spitter evades Kratos and fires upon blehm.
Kratos finds the spitter next to him and stuns him with his Stun Grapple. A brainsucker escapes from j'ordos flames, and far from Squad 2.
The spitter suddenly wakes up before the anticipated, and runs away from Kratos, but is swifly killed by j'ordos and blehm's fire.
Squad 1 moves up the corridor to catch any more things crawling down the staircase to find the Multiworm still in the flames of dipstick's fire. They line up to get him.

The door near Squad 2 opens up again and the same wounded Multiworm crawls out of it, badly wounded, Squad 2 gets him releasing the Hyperworms which are quickly killed.

~~*bl0rp* (more merging)~~

Your current position.
[attachment=7544:attachment]

Moving on..
Squad 1 finishes the multiworm and hyperworms quickly as j'ordos and Abyssion go up the Gravlift the second Multiworm came from to meet two spitters down the corridor, the position and open fire, kill them quickly.

Mission over, now time for promotions :D
