I could've spent some cash on a satellite to prevent Egypt from getting wiped off the map instead of outfitting a MEC Trooper with a particle canon-alas, the allure of power was too great. Building one of these units and upgrading it to the max is something every XCOM vet should experience.ДЄll of the new units and items feel like natural inclusions in the XCOM universe, and while they become super powerful late in the campaign, their addition makes allocating your limited funds all the more difficult. A few upgrades later and you'll be a walking tank, hurling grenades across the map and burning down droves of aliens via flamethrower, or launching them back into space with a hard-hitting kinetic punch. At first, these guys are totally unreliable they start off with mediocre health and accuracy so awful that Heavies look like marksmen by comparison. Then there are the MEC Troopers, humans-turned-cyborg that walk around in a giant suit of power armor. Guess which nation they're based in correctly, and you can invade their HQ and shut 'em down guess wrong, and whoops, Canada just backed out of the council. As you complete EXALT missions, you'll gradually gain clues as to where their headquarters is located. As if it weren't difficult enough to keep the world's nations from bailing on the XCOM project-thus decreasing your base's monthly income and by extension the survivability of your troops-hidden EXALT cells will crop up without warning, sending terrorized nations over the edge. While fighting EXALT forces is only sort of fun, they play a far more interesting role in Enemy Within's so-called 'strategy layer,' where they contribute to global panic.

If you're a console gamer, you can't buy Enemy Within separate from the main game. The thing is, if you've already purchased Enemy Unknown on PC, this expansion will run you an additional $30. Whenever the game is launched, near the very beginning of execution it performs merge operations. DefaultGameCore.ini, DefaultGameData.ini). The files in the root XCom folder (sub-folder XEW for EW) are the 'master' copies.These files all begin with 'Default' (e.g. MECs can take a ton of punishment, but canвЂ™t take cover. Next - the relationship between the XEWXComGameConfig files and the My GamesXCom - Enemy WithinXComGameConfig files. MEC troopers, after having all of their limbs lopped off, ride around in giant, stompy robot suits. Alright, so Enemy Within is pretty great, and is no doubt the definitive version of Firaxis' XCOM reboot. After collecting and researching Meld, you can build a cybernetics lab and a genetics lab which allow access to Enemy Within вЂ™s new units: MEC troopers and augmented soldiers.
