Whoever volunteers to die in the vanguard, I honour you I need skulls for my throne and bodies for my dropships. All missions will get at least a few screenshots. I'll be throwing up a glossary for the initial equipment as well as showing you what I research. Ironman, obviously Veteran difficulty with the XNT mod, so quite a bit of stuff will be new to me. There are plenty of differences, but anyone familiar with the former knows how a mission can suddenly go to shit in a amazingly bloody way. Xenonauts is a spiritual sequel to UFO: Enemy Unknown. What the fuck is this and why should I care?.Shrewd political maneuvering ensured they retained access to the most advanced technology developed by both the West and the Soviets, but only in limited amounts. By 1979, the Xenonauts were reduced to only a single installation, a dozen trained soldiers and a handful of loyal researchers and technicians. Geopolitical considerations clouded the judgement of the major alliances, each coming to distrust the organisation formed to unite them because of its close ties with the other. Powerful backers retired or lost their positions, replaced by people unaware of the events in Iceland. A network of underground installations was secretly established to provide coverage across the globe.īut without a looming threat against which to defend humanity, the organisation fell into decline. Aircraft were refitted to use materials known to be resistant to alien weaponry, soldiers were drilled in combat doctrine, and radar data analysed to find a plausible way to track extraterrestrial craft. Special forces soldiers were requisitioned and formed into strike teams, and brilliant minds from both sides of the Iron Curtain brought on board. Though no technology was recovered from the site and there were few survivors of the battle, some useful data was gained. Initially well funded and with powerful backers, the Xenonauts set about meticulously studying the events of the alien contact. Their purpose: a global fighting force to protect the world from extraterrestrial invasion. The Xenonauts are a clandestine organisation founded jointly by NATO and the USSR in 1958 following the Iceland Incident, humanities first contact with extraterrestrial life that left Iceland a radioactive wasteland and both superpowers with staggering loses.
