The Council (LWR)

Back To Main Page

In General

You receive funding from all council nations at the start of the game, regardless of whether you have satellite coverage or not. Their funding will increase if you give them satellite coverage. If a council nation receives too much panic it may leave the XCOM project and will cease funding you.

If all council nations leave the XCOM project the campaign will end.

Countries also occasionally make requests that, when filled, strenghten their defences in addition to offering immediate rewards.

Monthly Grade

At the end of each month the council assigns a grade. This grade has no effect on the game but is a relative reflection of how a player is doing versus another campaign that will eventually pass the game.

Grades start out at C and, depending upon XCOM's success, can move up to A+ and down to F.

A grade of A+ means the player is likely to pass the campaign and is doing quite well. Conversely, a grade of F means the player is unlikely to pass the campaign and is doing quite poorly.

Bonus Soldiers

At the beginning of each month the council will hire new soldiers for XCOM that take 18 days to arrive. The amount is random each month and gets lower and lower as the campaign progresses.

Home Country Satellite Coverage

Home Country Satellite coverage grants 200 credits at the end of each month. This encourages holding the home base, especially on higher difficulties where credits are less plentiful.
