Like with facilities, there are hiring costs and monthly salaries.

: The player is required to hire soldiers, scientists and engineers to fight, research and build things, respectively.

Each of the facility have their own cost and upkeep, so it is extremely important to carefully consider the cost-versus-practicality. From there, they will have to build more facilities like radars to expand the UFO detection radius, hangars to hold more aircrafts and dropships, workshops to build new equipment, laboratories to research alien tech. The game contains two main interfaces: Geoscape and Battlescapeīuilding and expanding.: The player would first choose the location for the first base of operation. Their offer was simple - fund them, and they will fight what no one else could. However, it wasn't until 1979 when the whole world are aware of the existence of the aliens and the emponymous military organization. Shortly after, the Xenonauts was founded to research and counter the potential alien threat.

#Xenonauts base attack upgrade#
you can deploy max 16 xenonauts (actually they will be auto-deployed, you can't chose), be sure to arm your troops BEFORE the attack occurs, the game won't let you chose once the invade screen occurs.Īs for my advice: If you have enough xenonauts in your main base, well - don't build defenses for some time (just remember to upgrade their equipment every now and then remember that ppl comming out of the hospital will have an m16 only).įor the other bases, build some defenses and guard them with just a few xenonauts to prevent losing a base to 3 left over ceasans. if your base has no xenonauts and the ufo was not destoyed = base lost. if the ufo is damaged some of the invading crew will be dead.

Now Im not sure how many defenses you need.and there is also the chance that they will miss the target. and if enough hits are scored - to destroy it. They have a % chance to hit and damage the attacking ufo. you can secure your base with defense buildings alone. all bases can be attacked by aliens, but they prioritize the older ones (unless you are unlucky I guess)
