Construction of the base | Basic information XCOM: Enemy Unknown Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

After selecting all options and starting the game, we have to make another very important choice: determine the location of our base. We can locate it on one of the five continents. Each of them will give us not only a unique bonus, further affecting our game, but also one free satellite. A description of the location and its benefits can be found in the section Base, Satellites and funds.

The choice of start location affects the first bonus we receive, so it's worth to think it through.

When you select a start location, you get a few recruits and you'll be immediately thrown into the fray. The time has come to test your command skills on the battlefield.
