Offtopic / Re: Your X-COM base names
« on: December 11, 2013, 09:43:51 am »
I used "Libertad" (freedom) for my first base, "Victoria" (victory) for my second base and "Liberación" (liberation) for the third one. But as I started to use more than 3 bases I started to use acronyms to describe them.
Just to see how I did it last time, I installed it (Steam version) and restored the savegame (I left it uncompleted last year).
I have the folowing bases:
Delta-Eu (Multipropuse - Europe)
Delta-Am (Multipropuse - North America)
Sat-Af (Radar/Hiperwave and 2 hangars, so i guess Sat stands for Satellite)
Sat-Cas (Central Asia)
Delta-Au (Multipropuse - Australia)
Sat-Ru (Syberia)
Sat-Am (South america)
Sat-Eu (Europe)
I wounder what was i thinking when used Delta to describe a multipropuse base
. It seems at that time i decided on use just 2 base types.
But if i have to start a new game and name it again i would be something like this:
( REGION ) + ( JOB ) + ( NUMBER if applicable )
Region:
EURO
ASIA
NAM (North America)
SAM (South America)
AFRI
RUS
OCEA
ANT
As for the type of base: Main Intercept, Satellite (just a radar), Lab, Factory
Alse, I like this idea:

I like to think up a scheme, like names of Antarctic exploration ships, or as mentioned greek letters, or Roman emporers. Sometimes i'll do a little pun on the region, like "Americ". Currently when setting a base I boot up google earth and find the nearest 'rinky dink' town, like Dourados...
( no offense to Douradosians!! )
, so unfortunately i won´t be able to introduce myself as I´d like to, but im gonna try.
, and I player TFTD for the first time. I remember being a 14 years old teenager, playing at midnight and having jump-scares when seeing the message: ALIEN SUB DETECTED, or ALIEN LAUNCH ISLAND ATTACK (with that poor guy screaming in the background). Also, I felt a bit strange having to equip my crew before missions, knowing no one of them would have a single chance of survival. But I didn´t frusrated and when the weeks passed i learned the game´s mechanics until i was able to beat it. Recently i bought the Steam verion of all the classic games.
