I hate Constructs

    By u/Terkmc, its the ‘I hate Saurus‘ copypasta from Total War but changed to Constructs from Menace.

    I hate Constructs Soldiers. I hate them. I hate their biomechanical faces. I hate their cybernetics. I hate their fleshy bits. I hate when the cybernetic are next to the fleshy bits and I hate when the fleshy bits are next to the cybernetic. I hate that the AI pulls 20 squads of them out of his robotic asshole and then all sit on the last capture point like a swarm of ants on my unattended can of soda.
    
    I hate the Construct difficulty meter. I hate it because it lies to me. It says thisi is a 2 skull medium difficulty mission. This is patently false, because I have 24 guys in cardboard with a battlerifle. I do not have twenty units of eight foot tall Construct Soldiers constructed out of pectoral muscles and galvanised coffin nails.
    
    I hate their regeneration. I hate that flanking them simply prompts one of them to pull out a nightcap so he can take a nap mid fire fight. I hate that their reaction to a devastating flanking attack is to become sleepy. I have looked a Construct in his horrifying cyborg face as an encirclement that would shatter any other "infantry" closed in.
    
    He went from :I to :I, shrugged off another two turns of shooting, and then regenerated.
    
    I have resolved to shoot every Construct dead. Every Construct. All of the Shambler and the Skirmisher too. I hate them. I no longer see battlefields because they're covered by a thick blanket of Anti Tank rockets and Twin Autocannon shells. I hate that it barely stops them.
    
    I hate that Construct Soldier is friends with the Guncrawler next title, who also instantly wipe out my squad once I've shot the Construct Soldier unconscious for the tenth time. He also has a fuck ton of armor only these ones are on treads. Somehow this is worse.
    
    I hate that they are an end-game invasion faction. I hate that they will be in every system and every mission by the time I reach them. I hate that while I was writing this the Construct Soldier looked at Rewa with a mean look, deals 1 (one) damage to the armor and instantly mindbreak her like this is a japanese cartoon.
    
    I hate Construct.
