Yeah, adding some desert villages (much like ratmen villages) should be easy. The question is: where to get their buildings from? :P
(No, I'm not making this shit.)

Would the Star Gods let the Snakemen around? They reproduced VERY quickly and could be a threat to the biosphere. Don't think Star Gods want someone to mess their preserve.

Good point, but when were Star Gods completely successful at anything? :P

Don't take this the wrong way but I would prefer to play as few barrio maps as possible

Ratmen villages are a pain, especially since I always get that map even with other missions

Yeah, I didn't mean this sort of labyrinthine village; more like a few desert huts made of clay, mud and snakemen secretions. Something like The Flintstones' house.
And of course, in the middle of a desert.

...didn't they win all previous X-Com games? ;D

p.s. I'm actually curious about this. Is it that the aliens in the end were too good at infiltrating earth governments or did the X-Com project eventually prove to be inadequate?

Well, it'd be a bit of a spoiler, since all this can be learned (or inferred) from the mod; keep collecting ancient logs.

Xenonauts had a desert village similar to that IIRC

Depends on which game you referring to.  Xpiratez has a different lore than the mainline X-Com games.  Also the New X-Com games as well, I guess, though those don't really matter.
