Corridors and Access

The shape of the corridor layout and location of the Access Lift will determine best use of a new X-Com base. Large open areas allow for future expansion but an isolated lift will be best for base security.

  • Base layouts on offer will depend on Difficulty.
  • Every access lift, irrelevant of layout, should be surrounded by security stations (max 3) if not using repair bays, otherwise disect the base by having the access lift and repair bay on one side of three security stations and the important facilities on the other side.
  • Some corridors on larger layouts could be keep clear to allow long range battles and will force the enemy to pass through a freshly laid proximity mine field search for your defenders waiting in ambush.
  • Enemy access to a base is only possible via the access lift and repair bays.
  • Corridor layouts cannot be altered.
