Weird how it only ever goes one way. A popular mod on mod io that made all soldiers male got deleted by a "developer". Perhaps WH40K included female marines to avoid the same fate?
@@M_y_st Nah, not that deep. iirc they just adapted the xcom sprites. They even explicitly warn you somewhere about the sprites not being 100% 1:1 canon.
To be fair, it is a single number in a file. You change "50" to "0" I absolutely agree it shouldn't be any, let alone 50% and certain people act like cancer, but its a turbo easy fix.
Nobody makes mods like 40k nerds. These people will stay up all night painting elaborate scratch marks and rust spots; this is like a quick side project.
Your intros are so good! Watched a few of your CDDA/Elysium/Dominion/Xcom videos and i really like the way you narrate them from introduction to overview to actual execution. You always seem to have a thorough plan you keep following without being too dry and that is really nice for my ADHD riddled brain. Now you introduced me to this gem of a mod and im having a blast discovering all the nooks and crannies. Would love too see more CDDA and Rosigma for sure!
1:27:22 Ultramarine smashes alpha legioneer with shockmaul into face so hard that it bends, gets knocked. 1:40:16 several minutes later, my boy wakes up from concussion... 1:41:15 ..and starts beating living shit out of Ultramarines with bare fists shouting "For the Emperor??" lol 1:42:02 ... Golden moments
>starts beating living shit out of Ultramarines with bare fists shouting "For the Emperor??" He IS Alpha Legion so it makes sense that it doesn't make sense
To secure a supply of Adamantium, you need to build a trading hub. To do that, build a new base but don't build an access lift but the alternative to it.
@@CairnEnjoyer Another thing you might not be aware of is that there are hotkeys for acting with either item that cover the full selection of possible actions. All you need to do with the mouse is to click on the target.
There is music that plays in the background at 14:00. To my great surprise I realized I was listening to the "player's turn" music for Vandal Hearts on the playstation one, a game that is over 25 years old... I hope I'm not the only one to notice that. It is a very fitting soundtrack considering it was also made for another turn based strategy game.
Running away especially matters when you are against Necrons as the guard. Plasma will not save you from a heavy platform atomising your ass, numbers be damned.
@cowEman How early you are talking? Early sources also point to the opposite being true. Where it was tried but ultimately led to many failures. Thus why it was abandoned. It has been unchanged from until now. But please tell me how we need more wokeness in beloved franchises. I'll entertain you.
@@lordterra1377 you just said yourself they existed and were retconned out. Why are you making it about wokeness? both times the decision was clearly made with commercial viability in mind.
You do realize you can just not do night missions right? =P Just wait until the area is in the sun on the globe and then attack, even if you already have a dropship there you can just have it hold its position for a while before engaging. Sure some missions might go away before the sun comes up, but it'll save you a lot of headaches.
So, as someone who never really played the original Xcom and am casually interested in playing through with a mod on my Steam Deck, which would you recommend: Xcom Files, X-Piratez, or Rosigma?
To be honest they are all so different. Xpiratez is the best but it’s a complete overhaul and very different. XFiles is more vanilla themed. 40k is more straightforward gameplay wise and MUCH shorter than the other two so you can reasonably complete it.
@@CairnEnjoyer Thanks! It sounds like it might be the safest then to see whether I bounce off the older gameplay style. If I do, at least there's still these vids!
I’d say if you just want to get into old xcom, picking up openxcom and maybe OpenXcom Extended and playing the origional UFO game could be a good idea. I’d very fun and much more straightforward than anything else.

This mod is borderline heretical because it has female space marines. At least no male sisters of battle.
and also cats. They have cats.

@@M_y_st Ideally all the marines would be female. But then I might as well play Piratez

That mission was just awful honestly
>starts beating living shit out of Ultramarines with bare fists shouting "For the Emperor??"
He IS Alpha Legion so it makes sense that it doesn't make sense
I like how on second mission you already have someone wounded on your first real turn
Your greentext opening was perfect lmao

I’d had built an outpost already but wasn’t aware of this.

man IDK what it is but you make me laugh so hard
The Brutal AI mod makes it even better
Makes it more realistic
Makes it incredibly campy and even more time consuming
honestly, best mod/game for 40k
At Chaos Gate… nice to see the fans making the actual sequels to it.

Oh boy, Kino from my now favorite XCOM youtube creator.
I prefer playing the IG campaign as i get my boys, the Steel Legion.

Not with that attitude 😤
COMMISSAR! I found another coward!
total chaos death
Wow that last mission was insane! Shame you didn't get the W. Was a fun mission to watch.
I think a win was not possible there by that point. Maybe if I had been more careful clearing the area, but I underestimated the number of enemies.
Anyone know what the song being played is in the beginning part of the video?
Its from the old 40k epic game. Searching Commissar Holt will get you there.
Its got an amazing sound track.
Or
Glare - void in blue, slowed down version.
I was listening through dead speakers lol...
Female space marines is Hersey!
Female space marines were cannon in the 80s. Hope you're not one of those people who cries about faction's genders getting retconned.

Do not know about Rosigma, but Xpiratez is simply great.
And absurdly complex and massive, i like that in a game like this.
Also just good silly fun.

@@nilsd2112 Thanks! I might give it a whirl once I become more comfortable with the older systems.

Yes you can
