As per request, I am posting a review of the X-COM series

And funny moment should be added here:

R&D: Med Kit

Researcher 1: Okay, we should fill this with the essentials. I think we should have bandages, iodine, gauze tape...and chewing gum.

Researcher 2: Wait, what? Chewing gum? What for?

Researcher 1: Well, it provides a distraction from, say, pain for example.

Researcher 2: Then, should we not put in aspirin instead since that works better on pain?

Researcher 1: *Ponders* You could be right. But let's conduct a field experiment first just to make sure.

*all agrees*

yes, because for some reason it takes the R&D team DAYS to figure out how to make first aid kits >.>

I might actually like this game...

As a veteran of the Civ series, this sounds like my strategy of conquest. I never dominate the field in the ancient era. I always play defensively and build up my infrastructure. Then, after I industrialize, I start cranking out the troops and wait for someone to come after me. Then I own them...lol

Civ is a completely different kind of strategy, but yes that mindset would be well suited to X-COM. I can bring it by some time if you want to try it
