Title: Base attacked in 1st month... Is it normal and possible?
Post by: Amiga on May 27, 2018, 06:51:53 pm

I've placed base in the UK. Two first UFo's were shooted down over sea. Next three was crashed and wiped out by my team and before end of the month my base was attacked. ##&#@! How it's even possible? Is it a bug ? Basically  no even single detected UFO's were ignored...

Yes, it's perfectly normal.

Shooting down UFOs triggers Retaliation, which searches for your base and attacks it.

On Superhuman, the chance to trigger is 20% per UFO shot down... so in average shooting 2-3 UFOs already triggers it.
They usually find you in about a half a month or less...

If you play on high difficulty... don't shoot down UFOs early.

PS: beginner 4%, experienced 8%, veteran 12%, genius 16%, superhuman 20%

Landed UFOs don't trigger retaliation.
