"Welcome to Base Aleph-NULL in Nigeria. We managed to get the Prince of Darkness off of the base planning committee, so Aleph-NULL is a real base. Base Continuum near Tokyo has just started construction.
And ETA for the first pair of UFOs is 14:30 sharp."
The redeeming feature of putting the first base in Nigeria is...it's nearly antipodal to Hawaii. Very good scummy Interceptor coverage for a single base. [Holes: Half of Australia, the entire Pacific Ocean, parts of Siberia and North America.] The second base completes scummy Interceptor coverage for all land masses of interest.
It's not like there shouldn't be an automatic alarm that goes off when UFO reports start coming in.

Things to remember to do at some point (when work schedule not haywire):
- probability of MC plane graph (not sure whether to do this manually, or write C++ programs to automate)
- suite of Python game editing scripts, using curses module family for GUI; basically, cover holes in ClarkWehyr and XcomUtil editors
- Base layout: automatically handle radar detection from radars
- Battlescape saves: help out the AI (turn 1 alien facing, ROUTES.DAT fixups), probably will have to integrate with XcomUtil. Need to research LOS more carefully first.
- Advanced two-player hotseat (individual visibility support, allow aliens to fire alien weapons, working explosives).
Work schedule is certified haywire through August 1, 2006.
