haven´t tested the mod yet, but two cents based on what I read on the thread:
- add only/all cities in the world with metro areas with populations above a cap... let´s say, 3 million people.
here is a good list...
if we set the cap to 4 million people, there are 108 cities
cap at 3 million people, 153 cities
cap at 2 million people, 245 cities
- with a big number of megacities, China would be very interesting to protect.

some people talked before about making Africa tactically relevant. I disagree. I would prefer to go for realism. I am brazilian, but I usually throw S.America to the aliens.
I think we should get actual 2013-2014 IMF figures for countries GDP. And adjust them proportionally so the total sum will somewhat get close to Vanilla XCOM (that is, you don´t get super rich too fast, nor poor).
For example... in Vanilla, I started a few games where France contributes a lot more than China. Nigeria contributes as much as China and Brazil contributes more!
Doesn´t really reflects China´s current economic size.
Adjust economies to current status, and China (10 trillion), Japan (5 trillion), S.Korea (1.2 trillion) and India (1.8 trillion) become a source of revenue as important to protect as USA or the European Union.
