So, as discussed on IOTchat, I decided to launch an XCOM game with some house rules (inspired by Symph's attempt at this in NES a while back).
The game will run... well, whenever I get around to playing it.
Now, as for the house rules - every XCOM soldier will be an IOTer. No non-IOT soldiers will be used. Any IOTer that dies cannot come back.
Basically, XCOM is limited to the size of IOT.
To join the army, sign on. In the spoiler below is the list of current soldiers; if you have preference, they're first come first serve, otherwise, I'll pick randomly. Non-claimed soldiers will not be used.
Once/if all of these are filled, I'll start hiring more and take names from the wait list. Assuming enough interest is shown, I'll post some screenshots and make this progressively more interactive.
The game will run... well, whenever I get around to playing it.
Spoiler Settings :
We're playing Enemy Within on Normal Ironman (tried Classic, but given I've only played through once, I kept losing entire squads). Operations Progeny and Slingshot are enabled, the tutorials are not.
Second Wave options turned on:
Not Created Equally
Hidden Potential
The Greater Good
Marathon
Training Roulette
