1:41:08 for X-Com Ufo Defense Ironman(no save/scum/load) Veteran Difficulty

4:24:30 for X-Com Terror from the Deep Ironman(no save/scum/load) Veteran Difficulty

Uses OpenXcom for stability. Rules altered from vanilla: -hold control to force fire(you could still fire into walls and such in original, this just allows you to target through the wall instead of at the wall first) -psi ops/m.c. anytime(saves time that is otherwise nothing more than a snooze fest) NOTE: Never used in the Ufo Defense run -custom initial base(requires time to place, does not contain any extra facilities, only used for base defense missions if they ever occur)

  • 0 turn primed grenades explode on impact (works for both human AND aliens, only advantage is "faster" smoke placement

That's it. Didn't see the games on the list. Even though they are heavy RNG, speedrunning both titles is making the RNG work.

If you get great alien route spawns(very large ships/crafts with needed aliens to capture), a speedrunner HAS to capitalize on them with great battlescapes.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy! Hope to see others run the games as well.

If the game doesn't exist in the game list, submit it yourself. If/when the game is added, your submission details are very likely not going to be noticed here.
