Installed this on my 5S just tk test it out and ran great. Unfortunately R drained the battery around 8% just on the first mission. Not such a great portable game if it'll be killing my battery so I'll stick to playing on my iPad Mini Retina. Phone also got super hot and there was other stuff I'd rather have on my phone that could benefit from all the storage XCOM requires.
Ha... Totally feel ya. I wound up buying a portable battery so I could play this on my phone on the go. =oP
This game kills your battery.. After a couple of missions you could easily lose 40% of your battery (im using an iPad mini retina). I love this game but this along with the huge file size (I only have 32gigs :/) means it'll be deleted soon
I actually can't complain about the battery on my iPad Mini Retina as it doesn't seem that bad for a game this beefy. What level do you set your brightness on?
At around 30-40% And like I said I love this game.. I just never play on the go because it drains my battery to quick.. I play when I'm at home
Same here. iPhone 5s, and I play while plugged in only. Scott Adams (Dilbert) wrote a really funny article once about the evolution of phones and how we went from attached by a cord to the wall to wireless to attached by a (power) cord to the wall.
Same here, I'll have to pay attention next time I play after a full charge to see how much battery I consume. i will say though that I was shocked at how well the game played on the smaller screen, quite impressive. Not doing so good in the game myself though, might start over. What is a good starting continent for a new player?
All this talk has convinced me to pick it up. I'm suffering from game selection overload which is a good dilemma.
I always start with Asia. Those half priced foundry and squad upgrades REALLY help me out in the beginning...
Speaking of starting over, i just did that. Again. That was my 5th attempt at classic ironman lol and about to start my 6th. I got stuck with rookies when all my vets were killed my those dang mutons
Hhahaha!! Those bastard are not playing. I got a mec and turned them into barbecue with the flame thrower. My sniper is their worst enemies.

Rookie question: I have built stuff like nano vests and scopes but I can't find them when equipping soldiers. The right panel only shows the standard vests. What am I doing wrong?
The vest isn't really a true armor per se but an item so it's at the bottom where the items are. The armors like Carapace, etc will be wheere the armors are
Xcom Heroes Just a noob question and sorry if this were asked before. Has anyone successfully enable Xcom heroes by renaming the soldier in the 'Customize' screen? I tried but it does not work
