Let's Play 'Ironman' X-Com (OpenXCom, X-Com: Enemy Unknown) - 42
1In OpenXCom, X-Com still await the psionics to be trained and another base to establish itself, so it better get plenty of resources to support them in the near and far future...meaning more battles against supply and scout crafts! In Enemy Unknown, psionics and their mind abilities make for some interesting battle options that could allow riskier playing style and habits (but with greater rewards).
OpenXCom
0:06 So X-Com must do more to feed a new addition to the family (bases)
2:30 Hovertank now does the prelim scouting
4:35 And it spots a shrouded enemy, but where are them soldiers to make good on discovery?
6:44 Well, one or more soldiers wouldn't have really helped against even solitary target
9:48 Scouting on top of enemy craft with all the safety it affords (but not completely safe)
14:10 Slowly building up soldier presence to sweep the map
17:38 Interesting angles allowed for airborne targeting
20:28 Some differences in psi-testing in both X-Com games, resource intensive as they both are
23:12 Base upkeep continues thru selling and managing stores; air missions continue unabated
28:28 Another ongoing project concerns base defense, going thru ufo alert roulette until something interesting
34:13 Buildings and other landmarks make for a bit of maze, until rockets get involved
36:16 Proximity grenades can be effective, but how many of them are already out there?
39:57 The enemy finds some interesting positions to challenge us
45:28 Hovertank and flying suits make for a good pair
48:16 Mining the exits prove to be effective as well
52:43 Let's get some soldiers to mind the exits of this big ship
56:55 Do I have trust issues with soldiers' reaction times, with this micromanagement of moves?
1:01:40 One indicator to guess as to number of enemy remaining is mental well being (or lack thereof)
1:08:33 Storage can be a bit tight, but not as bad as before
Enemy Unknown
1:13:06 X-Com now has psionics that it can choose to deploy to missions, and we have just the one
1:19:42 Squad all set, let's head out
1:21:40 Not the typical enemies one would expect, and we encounter them early
1:23:00 The psionics make good use of their abilities, their armor could mean the difference
1:26:47 Shimizu the archangel sniper returns from her time stuck in rock, in grand fashion
1:30:03 Let's regroup before more enemies attempt to pick us apart
1:33:16 Another group sets up against the squad; psionics bring variety of skills to turn the tides of battle
1:36:19 Gotta make good use of the materials before another alien activity
