The X-Com Files / Advice for a returning player

« on: September 22, 2023, 02:25:03 am »

Hey everybody, I played through the Xcom-Files extensivly about two years ago, and want to start up a new campaign.  I've seen that the modpack has had a lot of major changes, especially with all the new geoscape acivity like cult "ufos" and bases.  I'd like some broad advice for playing on the latest version.  Please don't be crazy specific, I'm very familiar with the quirks of openxcom modpacks, and learning is half the fun.  But if theres some random research topic thats super important, or a new type of enemy aggresion you need to prepare for I'd love some tips.  For example, back when I last played the earliest time you could ever get a base defense was after angering the syndicate, if there's some new aggresive faction earlier in the game I'd need to change up my strategies compared to how I played 2 years ago.
