Let's battle the terror in X-Com TFTD Superhuman Ironman

[Heclapar]

Ladies and gentlemen, i present you a Let's Play of X-Com Terror From The Deep on Superhuman Ironman (otherwise its not fun ) First of all, i am gonna say from the start that i have never made another lets play and the way i will document it will be weird.Also, i won't update on a basis, but when i have free time

The game will be played without reloading unless i stumble upon a gamebreaking bug (research tree bug for example)

So let's get started shall we?

Picking Superhuman difficulty ofcource.

Our first base will be at the Atlantic.

We immediately add some living quarters,more storage room,a wide array sonar and an alien containment.

Now let us see the stats of our brave aquanauts.

Come claim your aquanauts guys (they WILL get slaughered in the first mission as i am no pro player)

[Gondolin]

Jacques Gaudin for me. That high bravery should come in handy... in getting me killed faster.

 

[Imperator]

Boris Broomski for me.

 

[hoverdog]

Collette for me

 

[Azira]

Another TFTD? I'll follow. Give me a grunt. I've no preferences, I fully expect to fall from friendly fire, as that's the way I usually go in X-com LPs.

 

[Overboard]

Sign me up for Stanil.

 

[Heclapar]

First update guys . BTW, do you want me to roleplay a little (WHAT IS THAT GIANT BRAIN ZOMBIFIER) or not? Anyways, without further ado:

UPDATE 1: First Encounter


We hire some new scientists that will help us discover the secrets of the gauss weapons.

After that is done, we begin scanning for alien activity in the Atlantic.

And indeed,some hours into January and we find our first USO.

It is very small.

Our barracuda downs it without any damage done to itself.

It is time for our first encounter with the alien scum

The brave men and women of xcom are ready to touchdown near it.

I equip everyone with a harpoon gun and a grenade , except for Overboard, because he has a gas cannon and Storyfag, who only has a pistol (didnt have another harpoon gun sorry )
Storyfag gets ready to scout outside the sub.

Additionaly,i move outside of the sub Azira and Imperator. It seems we are on the edge of the map.

Sadly, during the aliens turn Storyfag bites the dust from alien fire during the next turn R.I.P Storyfag, you will be remembered as the first casuality

Imperator moves up and spots the alien,but he only has enought TU to crouch, and Azira doesnt have enought TU to throw a nade.

So he fires at it....and hits Imperator in the back, wounding him heavily.

Having no other option, i move Gondolin out of the ship and end my turn.

And Imperator dies from the Aquatoids plasma fire. R.I.P Imperator, there will be many to follow your path

Azira throws a grenade towards the alien,but it reacts and Azira is no more

The grenade explodes,but it doesnt kill it
Gondolin begins to advance.And the unamed guy does as well, and spots it.

He shoots and kills the foul beast.

The mission was a pyrrhic victory,but Overboard gets a promotion without doing anything. Congratulations Overboard

The casualities were : Storyfag,Azira and Imperator

 

[JoKa]

Give me one of the still unclaimed meatshields.

 

[Average Manatee]

Galina Dudeski sounds like the most sexually confused name possible. Give me he/she/it.

Do we get a choice of weaponry?

 

[Imperator]

Can i have a second chance?

 

[Kashmir Slippers]

Sign me up when you need a body.

 

[Boxer]

By God, that doesnt look like a high quality filter. Is that Eagle...? Jebus...

do you want me to roleplay a little

Randomized ufo layout, no armor, only starter weapons. Otherwise its a lameoparade.

 

[Azira]

Aw yeah! I wasn't killed by friendly fire, and indeed, I caused some myself!

 

[lightbane]

So, this is your first Lp, you say? If so, don't worry. Eventually you'll find out a way to do it that's comfortable for you. Anyways...

Comrade Lightbane is ready to fight for Humanity... Again.

Sing me up if when more meatbags are needed.

 

[Storyfag]

Sadly, during the aliens turn Storyfag bites the dust from alien fire during the next turn R.I.P Storyfag, you will be remembered as the first casuality

Sign me up for another round!

UPDATE 2:NEW RECRUITS

(Manatee, the guy/gal who had the name is already taken so i will give you another recruit, and you can choose your inventory after this update)



The tragic fate of Azira,Storyfag and Imperator left everyone in the X-COM headquarters filled with grief. But then the replacements came and we didnt care anymore :D
Also, we found a cloning vats inside the alien ship, and used it to make a second Imperator, as he would have wanted
Here are the new recruits, ready to go to the meatgrinder on their next mission.

Shortly after, our scientists discover gauss technology.

But i am not convinced, and start researching the sonic pistol IMMEDIATELY.

We spot a small USO.

After the barracuda gives chase several times,with it escaping every single one,it lands.

That means that it will have its whole crew alive
ONWARDS, TO GLORY!!!
We load the triton with our new members and we reach the landing site.

Imperator MKII carries a hydro jet cannon and Gondolin has the torpedo launcher.

Slippers takes one step outside,and already sees a aquatoid.

He tries to use his grenade.

And he oblitirates the alien scum.

I scout a bit with the rest of the team, and Joka spots the alien sub.

The aliens wanted payback for our grenade kill,and with their own grenades kill Joka and Hellraiser. R.I.P I will pass your pieces throught the cloning vats later

Slippers tries to kill one of them but fails miserably.So does Imperator.Gondolin on the other hand...

Damn,those torpedo launchers are scary. Imperator spots an aquatoid infront of Slippers, can he save him?

Yes he can, Slippers is grateful for saving his life (for now )

We begin to head towards the entrance of the sub.

Slippers spots an alien,which he manages to hit twice before it reaction fires at him.R.I.P Slippers, Imperator wasnt there to save you
Gondolin snaps shots and misses the alien.
Imperator misses as well.

The alien doesnt.R.I.P Gondolin,you were so good with that torpedo launcher

Imperator tries to shoot it,but its reaction fire kills him too. R.I.P Imperator II, your second version was promising

Average Manatee makes a run for the ship.

This update had a lot of in it. Anyways, how are you guys enjoying this? It's my first LP after all :D. By the way,if you see that i have taken a lot of time to update, its probably because the moderators havent approved it yet (just joined rpgcodex)

 

[Overboard]

Overboard gets a promotion without doing anything.

Officer material, if I say so myself.

 

[Imperator]

Another clone

 

[Hellraiser]

I still live, somehow.

 

[Azira]

I've only died once. I expect that to be remedied post-haste.

 

[Heclapar]

Before starting the next part, i need another 2 soldiers for the meatgrinder, any volunteers? :D

Edit:And Hellraiser you died in this mission i think.

 

[Storyfag]

You did register my second request for a body? :D
