Maps (EU2012)
XCOM: Enemy Unknown features hand crafted maps, with a total of 68 maps, plus 3 additional ones from the Slingshot DLC, 71 maps into total. Out of these, 5 are slight variations on the same map (Europe/Asia versions and the Battleship), leaving a total of 66 individual maps (regular game + DLC).
In addition to the Battleship there are 5 other types of UFOs in the game, and each of these uses the same UFO interior but have completely different outside terrain and multiple deployment zones, making them separate maps. The only repetition of terrain features occurs on the Large Scout and Overseer UFO maps, where it appears only the UFO layout is different. If the Large Scout/Overseer maps are regarded as a variation on the same terrain, then there are 62 unique maps (Slingshot included).
There are 44 maps included in the Enemy Within DLC. These are broken down in 14 entirely new maps, 6 new maps based on existing ones, 4 old maps with different starting areas, and 20 Covert Operations maps (10 Covert Data Recovery and 10 Covert Extraction), that reuse both old and new maps by placing on them Encoders/Transmitters and/or EXALT Comm Arrays.
In total, Enemy Unknown plus the Slingshot and Enemy Within DLCs feature a total of 115 maps, or 82 unique maps plus 33 variations (Battleship, Overseer, Europe/Asia, different starting areas and Covert Operations).
