Talk:Base Management

Maybe this become a Category instead of just a landing page? --Papa Legba 09:45, 31 December 2005 (PST)

Hello! Saw a stub here and took a stab at fleshing it out. -Darksun

Hey dudes.Building a base at the poles would be awesome. Er,Aliens would have a hard time to find it too.But you know it anyway.--X-COM:Turcocalypse 12:43, 26 April 2006 (PDT)

Base Placement

When aliens send scouts for a wave of Alien Retaliations, the scouts move quickly to the edge of an area/continent and then work inwards. If your base is built on the edge of the area it can sometimes be spotted before you have time to intercept, so I'd recommend putting bases into the middle of areas. The alien retaliation wave consists of a very small ship, smaller ship, small ship, then a battleship over the course of a month. If none of them spots the base then the wave is over.

Alien retaliation waves occur in areas where you have a base and areas where you have have scored a lot of points. If you put a base into an area where you don't score many points, such as the pacific, then the aliens will be less likely to search for that base.

Off Topic

yeah, this reads more like ideas of how to play the game rather then a description of base managment. The whole article is off topic and needs to be renamed or moved -HeckRuler 1:17, 1/30/06

You've just about described 90% of the wiki! Most topics start off as empty stub pages, then someone puts something in that may seem like a good idea at the time. Then things just snowball from there until the whole article is a disjointed mess of otherwise very interesting thoughts. We really need someone with editorial skills...

The random tips and whatnot are what make the wiki special. However, a brief but concise description of base management should be at the beginning. The tips and tricks and suggestions can come after that.

I've added something that resembles a concise description. --Dumas 12:42, 31 January 2007 (PST)
