This not good. To many crossovers make for a terrible story.

Gonna be honest. It feels like you just added aspects from other series instead of actually creating your own. And don't get me wrong, everyone does that to some degree. But I think the reason why I don't like it is that you seem to grab things you like without understanding the context of what you grab. A couple of examples, God Emperor (Imperium) is apparently fine with Xenos, Victory Class SDs despite the fact that there were very specific circumstances that lead to the ship’s development. It's just too jarring. But judging by the reviews I seem to be the minority so... Yeah. Good luck with writing but this fic isn't for me.

Wow the chances of the Dominion winning are 0, first of all xcom is made up of people from different countries they would never side with your "Emperor", also they get there funding from other countries, even if they left the Council and used money from Elerium sells it wouldn't be near enough funds to prosecute a world war. Then where you say they sanction the U.S. for hoarding alien tech, with what power and authority are the doing this with. Without trade from the U.S. your looking at a globle market crash. A good portion of the world economy relies on the U.S. market. Also XCOM is predominantly a U.S. organization. Then you have zero explanation for the USA civil war, which makes you come off as just USA Bashing. When your first chapter is a crappy codex timeline you know its going to be a trashy fic.

I'll call this BS if the War happen and the Dominion lost due to having been outnumbered by the enemies even they have technological advantage and because it takes a while for reinforcement to arrive so they have they lost the space battle and they can make the ground battle a battle of attrition which all of the standard pitfalls and cliche of the first contact wars.

Glad to see this story back and alive.

I’m honestly not a fan of how the dominion organised its military but what can I do?

Interesting

awesome :)

It lives! Great to see this moving again and a fantastic chapter to come back to. Keep up the great work and I hope you update soon.

Would be better if the excerpts read like an actual file. Like, instead of saying the German city was unknown, you could write it as:

The Ethereal Invasion on Earth began on the German city ofREDACTED-]. Xcom immediately activated and sent Delta team to investigate the possibility of an extraterrestrial attack. The only one to return was Delta 2, namedREDACTED

nice chapter thx for writing it good to see ya back in action
looking forward to more

loved it

This has been an interesting story so far and I hope to see more of it soon!

Fantastic story. I can’t wait for the next chapter.

I am loving this so far. However, I do have one question, and maybe followups. Have you ever played Xcom 2? In that it is shown the true form of the Thin Men, so I was wondering what about them? From lore, they would truly benefit most from the Dominion due to having no males, or at least that we know of. I truly think having the Vipers would be a great addition.
