Yeah, screw it. I don't usually lose entire things like that. I'm just going to give the base overview, details can come later if i can overcome my frustration with losing that hard work...somehow.
XCOM has been fighting the aliens for somewhat over three months. The current date is June 16th. XCOM's tech has progressed to where we are working on our first suits of powered armor (experimental 'Aegis' armor) and Gauss weapons (rail-accelerated bullets, incorperating alien alloys and other tech). We have MECs and gene mods, as well as holographic technology. The world is starting to become aware of our presence, but we are still secret naturally. We've undertaken abduction missions, UFO crash and landing missions, council missions, and so on. A terror mission in Moscow was the most striking damage the aliens dealt, killing 8% of the population (Around 920,000 people). EXALT has begun anti-xcom operations, though we still aren't quite sure who leads them or who they are after. (Though OOC, we do) After the terror mission, the aliens infiltrated India and took it over, closing its borders. A recent assault on the alien base in the Thar desert freed the country, and XCOM is about to undertake a campaign to free alien-occupied New Delhi.
Thus far, we've fought Sectoids, Drones, Outsiders, Thin Men, Floaters, Chryssalids, Mutons, Mecthoids, and Cyberdiscs primarily. (We have met our first Sectoid Commander as well) In the alien base we faced off against a variety of clones, modified cybernetic troops, and a Chryssalid queen. We have captured Sectoids, Thin Men, a Floater, an Outsider, a Muton, and a Sectoid Commander.
