Someone has to say it. Eric looks pretty adorable in this strip for some reason.
EDIT: Erin, I mean.

Let us all have a moment of silence for the brave troops who have left us, Xcom old and new.

and let us not forget the hero of Excom who survived from my first squad to my last mission

I did. My name is Eric too so I guess I'm used to typing it a lot. I'm sure you're adorable too though.Eric the Orange said:
Just buying XCOM today 
Thanks for the idea, i will keep one guy handy and replacable for running in and stunning an alien and getting killed.
But i've already made my decision that my most experienced soldier will be named Guile and getting the signature haircut.

I made myself in the game along with my friends we where Chaos Squad only 2 of us lived to the end of the war.... 2 died in a botched mission and the other one died in a blaze of glory being the chosen one
Well, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who does the "character creation reincarnation" thing. I just refuse to let my recreation of Sarah Kerrigan die.
This comic makes me think of something...
Imagine that you've got yourself a military corp. And you want to keep up moral. All you have to do is create a Legend among them.
... All one would have to do, is have one man, who seems like he never dies; even in the toughest of battles. But really, he's just being replaced with the next guy to walk along, who you dress up to look him. So One legendary man, is really a hundred.
Instant Legend.
And it becomes a legendarily funny story if anyone ever leaks the information.
It's like that theory about James Bond.

I don't really customize or rename but after the first set which all got it my Majors and Colonels will get the Guile hair. Although I recently lost the guy who survives the first mission if you have tutorial mode on. Rest in peace Jorge "Thunder" Marquez.
This was really funny.
I only change the nicknames and colors. It gives them more "personality" if I don't name them after people I know. Admittedly, I've been save scumming it up through my 2nd playthrough just to keep my favorite characters alive (my first playthrough was an outright disaster when I got attacked by 8 Chrysalids in the alien base).

I must say the head of the girl on the second panel is horrifying HUGE!!!!
This remind me some all anime I was watching when I was a kid.
THE HORROR! THE HORRROR!!!!

Speaking of... I wonder if anyone's named a soldier Dread "Pirate" Roberts yet...
My friends tend to decide what people are named based on the class once they hit squaddie or corporal, but I name them from the outset and let fate decide.Imp Emissary said:Yeah, I heard it's best not to name anyone until they get strong enough.
Like not naming a puppy until it's old enough so you know it's probably not going to die.
:/ Sorry for your loss.
Apart from the starting guy you get in the story, my wife is my longest-serving trooper. She was annoyed to discover she was a support class instead of a sniper, but I explained that that wasn't up to me. I always made sure she got the best and newest weapons and armour, even when my snipers overtook her in rank, because she's made it clear there will be consequences if anything happens to her.
I wanted to re-create some of my favourite troops after they tragically met their end but as the Memorial carries the lasting tribute to my failure I decided against it. I have new favourites now an- daw they're dead.
