[DONE][Suggestion] Regions and countries providing/banning "base functions"

[Yankes]

This more a fluff, more interesting would be if base placement affect what is possible to buy/recruit

This is already possible (and used by some mods, for example Chronicles.)

Soldier nationality/name is not, and it is rather important.

Even though i might misinterpreted this topic.

If this is true that should mean nationality/names based on placement is already possible.
Using the route:
* Define nationality based soldier type with corresponding names ('soldierNames') and flags ('flagOffset'?).
* Use buy/recruit limitation on defined soldier type based on placement (using the method from chronicles).

But this is "global" as far I understand, some time ago Meridian implement bonuses based on starting region: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,7215.msg141846.html#msg141846
I mean different feature, each base have different stuff to buy based on region where its placed.

I now thinking that some regions could simply provide "base functions", this will allow multiple things affected by it (buy, research, build) but not make code more complex.
This could be provide by globe texture too.

That sounds nice, but probably deserves a separate thread.

I've split this discussion from the other thread.

@Yankes: I leave the implementation to you, if you're interested

[Yankes]

ok

Maybe add the countries too with the same logic?

Done.
