Sweet, I was gonna have to download a mod for those, but now they're in the default game so I don't need to! 
Free DLC Invades XCOM, Abducts Free Time

A marathon mode in a Firaxis game? Who would have thought?
Still, I got this during the Holiday Steam sale and have yet to start it up. Free DLC never hurts the incentive, even if they don't get unlocked the first time around.

i dont like that, i mean, when you can do from 2 to 894 damage its really silly to get a 2 hp hit from a portable nuke or something (im talking about games in general). i like defined damage.
this is a great idea in my opinion. makes your customization harder.
dont think thats a good idea where one of the main components is getting stats increased.
No, just no, no loosing exp due to damage taken.
I love you!
isnt thats how its supposed to work?
not really. the way it work before second wave is that when a country panick, they leave and cut the founding. But with that, a country that give 100$ for exemple at 1 panick, will give only 50$ at panick 4 (i dont have the actual numbers it's just an exemple)Strazdas said:
No, right now it is 'all or nothing': either a country is in the council and paying full price (if you got a saterlite there) or they aren't covered/left the council and pay jack.Strazdas said:
With this, you gain less money the higher the Panic-level is (I assume that Level 1 and 2 are still full payout, tho. Level 3 could be only 80% and Level 4 60% - this is just guessing, not confirmed)
I'm having a lot of fun trying to beat classic+impossible (and usually spectacularly crashing and burning within the first two months), so this is very welcome. Thanks Firaxis! Will play with Not Created Equally, Hidden Potential and Red Fog.
At least you're lucky to even have that option. Before buying the game, I had a little power fantasy of building an all-Polish squad, but apparently Poland is not on the list of available nationalities. I'm not entirely sure how they chose available non-council nationalities - maybe nationalities of dev team members? - but come on, the European base location is in Poland, they could have at least made that concession.Daystar Clarion said:
Why do we keep having to invent new terms for things we already have words for? This isn't some new content pack, it's just a small patch that adds a couple of options to the game. Diablo 2, for example, didn't have any DLC, it had a bunch of patches and an expansion. What exactly is gained by lumping a whole pile of functionally different things under a single generic term? All it does is reduce clarity since announcing DLC doesn't give you any idea if it's a minor patch like this, or a major expansion full of new content.
Because it's two different things. Well, three - a patch is just there to fix and improve existing things. This thing adds stuff that isn't there (or rather, enables it). I would qualify it as an update: It contains mostly fixes but it is there to add a few new features. No real content, tho.Kahani said:
And DLC is basically a smaller version of an expansion pack, which you usually can only access within a running session of the current game (while expansion packs not uncommonly might even feature an own .exe)
Don't you already HAVE to interrogate a psionic alien? As far as I remember I got the Psi Labs after capturing an ethereal and interrogating him. Are there other ways?
I still think the Warspace Extension mod helps the game more than anything else. It takes the RNG out back and curb stomps it while taking away the alien's cheaty-face bonuses and making the game more about tactics and planning; than dealing with the game randomly punishing you all the time.
