A moment of silence please for all the brave ponies (and one minotaur) that gave their lives defending Equestria from an otherworldly invasion.
 
(This is my first playthrough, and what my memorial wall looks like so far.)

I always vowed I would never make MLP/EQG themed soldiers in my X-COM games and yet somehow Sonata “For Realsies” Dusk (Heavy) and Sunset “Satan” Shimmer (Assault) have found their way into my squad…

In MY playthrough, it was Braeburn that ended up getting shot by a panicked Big Mac. And one more of these deaths was caused by a panicked Derpy.

3 playthroughs in a row I’ve had a solider named Braeburn always, always end up shooting someone in a panic at low rank. That pony is fucking jittery till he gets some experience under his belt.

Thank you Technature. It’s not like I’m TRYING to get my ponies killed, after all. I’m also trying not to save-scum so much either.
 
So far, every soldier that has survived past Lieutenant rank hasn’t been killed yet, so their survival rates are much better after that point.
 
It’s still an interesting narrative to see who survives in the end, and who ends up getting killed by a panicking comrade. (Careful Derpy!)

Okay, guys, I get why you’re downvoting it. No one wants to see a list of ponies and see them as dead.
 
Let me clarify something.
 
This is X-Com. Soldier death is normal in the game, especially if you’re not good at tactic games in the first place. Getting a list like this is pretty common until you learn what to do.
 
Getting an upvote cause fuck, keeping your soldiers alive is hard.

My last play-through I managed to only lose one MLP themed solider, lost Spike to that damn chryssalid mission.
 
Course the idiot kind of deserved it, missed an 86% shot with a shotty, 2 tiles away with not obstructions.
