Situation Room (EU2012)

2013-08-27T13:47:44Z

Mazaev:

[[Image:SR (EU2012).png|thumb|right|300px|The Situation Room.]]

Supporting XCOM's activities is a Funding Council of 16 countries that will supply XCOM with funding and extra resources (e.g., soldiers, scientists, engineers) as well as reward any additional missions performed upon special request. These countries are geographically divided, so it is up to the player to decide where to place additional satellite coverage beyond the base. Each country provides funding as long as they remain in the council, which depends on their panic level, which ultimately depends on the player's ability to 'protect' those countries with satellite coverage and successfully completing tactical combat missions. Continents provide bonuses for placing your base there and for covering the entire continent with satellites. For strategy discussion on choosing base location and managing satellite coverage, go to the [[Managing Panic (EU2012)|Managing Panic]] page.

==Funding==
X-COM receives a base funding each month from the Council, plus additional funding obtained through the deployment of satellites over countries. The starting funding will depend on the continent and country where the [[XCOM Headquarters (EU2012)|Headquarters]] is located. Since it comes with a deployed satellite, the starting funding will consist of the base funding plus the funding of the country where HQ is located. Both starting and country funding will be affected by the game difficulty and the bonus that is gained from placing the base on that continent.

== Panic Level ==
The Situation Room will display the Panic level throughout the world. Each country has a panic level from 0 to 5 (and a corresponding color) and it will increase or decrease depending on how well XCOM responds to alien activity in that country and the continent and also on the presence of satellites. Once a country has reached a high enough level of panic, that country may permanently withdraw from the XCOM project. Once eight countries leave the Council the XCOM project will be automatically terminated.

== Satellite Network ==
It is possible to launch satellites from the Situation Room after they are built by [[Engineering (EU2012)|Engineering]]. By expanding its space detection network XCOM will enhance its capabilities to detect and stop incoming UFOs, receive additional Council funding and extra scientists and/or engineers received for each additional country covered. It will also decrease the panic level of the country over which it is deployed and as the satellite cover expands to cover an entire continent, the player will get the additional continent bonuses listed above. Due to its critical role, the Aliens will also try to target and destroy XCOM's satellite network. To protect its satellites XCOM will also have to [[Hangar (EU2012)|deploy]] Interceptors on those continents to stop any hostile incursions.

== Finances ==
The Situation Room provides links to Finances, the [[Gray Market (EU2012)|Grey Market]], and [[Requests (EU2012)|Pending Requests]] as well as displays your total § on-hand and monthly income.

== Objectives ==
The Objectives suggest milestones (e.g., "''Construct the Alien Containment Facility''"; "''Research the Arc Thrower''") to help you progress through the game. Those actions are usually marked as '''Priority''' on the lists of available projects for your base. A list of XCOM's objectives can be found at [[Storyline_(EU2012)|Storyline]]

== News Ticker==
The News Ticker will display relevant [[News Items (EU2012)|News Items]] concerning the alien invasion from around the world that will reflect XCOM's performance in protecting the Council's nations.

== Continent Bonus Analysis ==
=== North America ===
Bonus: '''Air & Space''' 
Details: All aircraft and aircraft weapons cost 50% less to purchase, build and maintain. 
Analysis: One of the more useful bonuses by far, being able to procure Firestorms for 50% off is incredibly useful, especially if you're down to the wire on materials. If it's your starting bonus, it allows you to spit out a few more interceptors at a very low income time of the game, giving you some more coverage. While a couple of Interceptors is really all you need in the opening days, a couple extra will be there to make you feel safe for when XCOM decides to be XCOM. Also, as a side bonus, North America provides you with the highest monthly funding before satellites at the start on every difficulty except Normal, where starting in Africa has a couple extra bucks per month.

=== South America ===
Bonus: '''We Have Ways''' 
Details: Interrogations and Autopsies are completed instantly. 
Analysis: Only really useful if it's your starting bonus or you can get it within the first two months. Interrogations and Autopsies don't take that long to begin with and by the time you pile on a few scientists, they'll only take 1 or 2 days at most. Far more useful however if you're playing with Marathon on from Second Wave, since everything takes a little bit longer. Overall however, not a very pressing bonus to get.
=== Europe ===
Bonus: '''Expert Knowledge''' 
Details: Labs and Workshops cost 50% less to build and maintain. 
Analysis: Unless your pounding out Labs in the very early days of the game, or playing with Marathon turned on, Labs aren't that useful while Workshops are only really useful once you've linked a few of them together. Furthermore, neither Labs nor Workshops are going to burn a major hole in your wallet. It's a little more useful as a starting bonus however, as it'll probably allow you to get a 2x2 block of Workshops a little sooner than if you didn't have it. Depending on how you build, it could be more or less pressing.
=== Africa ===
Bonus: '''All In''' 
Details: Monthly XCOM funding increased by 30%. 
Analysis: Quite possibly the single most useful bonus there is. Get it, and get it fast if it isn't your starting bonus. That extra money is going to pay dividends in both the long and short run, and the early and late parts of the game. You need money for everything. And you can never have too much money.
=== Asia ===
Bonus: '''Future Combat''' 
Details: All projects in The Foundry and the Officer Training School cost 50% less. 
Analysis: Asia's bonus is a little weird. When you're not focusing on your Foundry and OTS upgrades, you really don't care that much that you don't have it. But when you start to focus on your Foundry and OTS upgrades, you're going to wish you DID have it. OTS upgrades are just money, so it usually isn't THAT big of a deal, but Foundry upgrades cost money and other materials, making it a bit more of a deal. Can be ignored if you aren't working on your Foundry or OTS upgrades, but you WILL want it for when you start to pound those out. Especially the Foundry upgrades, since those compete for materials (Alloys, Elerium, Weapon Fragments) alongside Research and Manufacturing.

'''DLC'''s, or "downloadable content" packages, are small downloadable expansions that can be purchased for use with games such as [[Enemy_Unknown_(EU2012)|XCOM: Enemy Unknown]]. At present two are available for this game, which can be downloaded via either [http://store.steampowered.com/dlc/200510/ Steam], [http://us.playstation.com/ps-products/BrowseGames?console=ps3&downloadableContent=Add_ons&beginsWith=Xcom PlayStation Network], or [http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/XCOM-Enemy-Unknown/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80254540882?DownloadType=GameAddon#LiveZone Xbox Live Marketplace] (for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 releases of the game respectively).

==Future DLC==
Along with [http://www.2kgames.com/blog/add-on-content-packs-for-xcom-enemy-unknown-coming-soon Slingshot's announcement] (23rd Oct 2012), it was indicated that a follow-up DLC would also be coming at a yet to be announced date. Hidden achievements for the game listed on Steam, along with configuration scripts already included in the game files, suggested this would arrive early January 2013 with the title "Progeny". While speculative, all indications pointed to it being similar to Slingshot in terms of content (a new unique unit (Annette), three council missions and possibly additional unit customisation options).

Later on, at the time of the [[Second_Wave_(EU2012)|Second Wave]] feature's official introduction (8th Jan 2013), Jake Solomon revealed in [http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/01/08/interview-xcom-jake-solomon-pc-gamer/ an interview] that due to Slingshot's poor reception the next DLC would ''not'' be similar. The five "Progeny" achievements were also removed from the Steam list at that time.

On August 3rd Producer 2K confirmed that it will reveal during Gamescom 2013 a new DLC for XCOM: Enemy Unknown called [[XCOM: Enemy Within (EU2012)|XCOM: Enemy Within]].

XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)

2013-08-26T08:39:32Z

Mazaev: /* The Meld */

[[Image:XCOM Enemy Within Poster.png|right|600px|Enemy Within poster]]

On August 21st, Producer 2K revealed during Gamescom 2013 a new expansion/DLC for [[Enemy Unknown (EU2012)|XCOM: Enemy Unknown]] called '''XCOM: Enemy Within'''. It will be available also for consoles and has a release date of November 12th, 2013 on the US, and November 15th internationally. There are more surprises coming according to the producers other than what's revealed so far.

A list of details of was revealed on August 21st on this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCSoqdOZ0-M| video], along with these articles from [http://www.polygon.com/2013/8/21/4642424/xcom-enemy-within-expansion-announcement-release-date Polygon] and [http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/08/21/xcom-enemy-within-announced-tons-of-details IGN]:

==PC/Console Versions==
* The PC version will cost 30$ and the Console 40$.
* The PC will be sold as traditional DLC through Steam but the console owners will have to buy the Commander's Edition, consisting of Enemy Unknown, plus the [[Elite Soldier Pack DLC (EU2012)|Elite Soldier Pack]], [[Slingshot DLC (EU2012)|Slingshot]] and Enemy Within DLCs.
* Currently Firaxis has no plans to launch Enemy Within for iOS, due to the already large file size of the original game for the device.

==The Meld==
[[Image:Meld (EU2012).png|right|300px|Meld]]
* The Meld is a new resource that will be present in containers on several maps (Abductions and [[UFOs (EU2012)|UFOs]]).
* The 2 [[Meld (EU2012)|Meld]] canisters need to be captured during a certain timeframe, otherwise they will self-destruct forcing a player to move swiftly to find and capture them. 1 canister will be located on a location easy to reach, another in a hard location. The canisters can be hidden to force a player to look for them.
** Additionally, the Canisters are reported to spawn once per applicable map per playthrough: there will only be a certain number of Canisters in a given campaign.
* When Meld canisters self-destruct they will explode and cause damage to any player units nearby. [http://www.polygon.com/2013/8/22/4643478/xcom-enemy-within-gamescom-2013-garth-deangelis]
* The Meld can be used to create either [[Mech Trooper (EU2012)|Mech Troopers]] (a new class) or to genetically increase any class abilities (including Mechs).
** In consideration of the limited number of Canisters, it's also been revealed that this leads to a choice of quality vs quantity for how you will spend the upgrades.
* The Meld also brings 2 new base facilities: [[Genetics Labs (EU2012)|Genetics Labs]] and [[Cybernetics Labs (EU2012)|Cybernetics Labs]]. There's also a mention about a "single, very low-cost new tech to power both" on this [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-18-xcom-enemy-within-preview-things-to-mech-and-do interview].
 

==Gene Mods==
[[Image:Gene Mods (EU2012).png|right|300px|Gene Mods]]
* Alien Autopsies will reveal genetic modifications ("[[Gene Mods (EU2012)|Gene Mods]]") for your [[Soldiers (EU2012)|soldiers]].
* Gene Mods can apply to the following categories: Brain, Eyes, Chest, Skin, Legs, with 2 options available for each (and that can be swapped at a cost)
* Brain: '''Neural Feedback''' (damages an alien attempting mind control but doesn't reduce its chance) or '''Neural Damping''' (soldier immune to panic, becomes unconscious if enemy manages to MC it).
* Legs: '''Muscle Fiber''' (a soldier can climb walls without a Skeleton Suit) or '''Adaptive Bone Marrow''' (limited health regeneration for wounded soldiers).
* Chest: a double heart ability to protect your soldiers from death.
* Skin: a type of stealth skin that turns your soldiers invisible.
 

==Mech Trooper==
* Mech Troopers can be created from any soldier above rookie rank, but they'll lose all abilities they previously had. For example, if player sacrifices a sergeant-ranked solider, he/she would get sergeant-ranked MEC, along with the ability to purchase skills from the first three ranks.
* According to the developers Mechs are very expensive to purchase.
* Mech Troopers have the Mechanized Exoskeleton Cybersuit or [[MEC suit (EU2012)|MEC Suit]] which can be damaged and need to be repaired.
* Mech Weapons: '''Minigun''' (starting weapon), '''Railgun''' and an energy weapon, along with a '''Kinetic Strike Module''', which allows to punch aliens in the face.
* Mech's skill tree is divided into two categories: Fire Support (offense) and Survivability (defense)
* Mech Abilities include: '''Shock-Absorbent Armor''' (starting ability); '''Collateral Damage''' (allows to target terrain), a high powered firing attack that uses a full clip of ammo, '''Damage Control''' (which reduces the damage taken for one turn), and Cover & Squad Healing abilities to protect and heal other soldiers. Other abilities provide weapons and include a '''Flamethrower''' (deals 6 damage on an arc), '''Proximity Mines''' (which are smart not to detonate upon friendly units) and a '''Grenade Launcher'''.
* Mech Troopers "remember" the original soldier class and "inherit" perks. For example Sniper-turned-MEC gains the '''Platform Stability''' perk, which grants it additional damage for a turn if it doesn't move.
* From the available footage it seems Mechs do not require [[Cover (EU2012)|Cover]] (they can't be flanked) since the cover shield is never seen. This mean that they probably have the '''Hardened''' ability present on [[SHIV (EU2012)|SHIVs]] and alien robotic units that gives increased protection against critical hits.
* As per GameSpot article, Mech Troopers get monotone, Robocop-esque voice.

==New Aliens==
[[Image:Enemy_Within 3.png|right|300px|The Mechtoid]]
* Aliens also have two confirmed Mech versions, including the [[Mechtoid (EU2012)|Mechtoid]] (Sectoid Mech version). The Mechtoid can fire twice in a turn and [[Sectoid (EU2012)|Sectoids]] can mind merge with it and give it a damage reducing shield (but it won't die if the merger is killed).
* Another report mentions 'several' new aliens. Wait and see...
 

==Class and Weapons Changes==
* Two new grenades: '''Needle Grenade''' (after researching [[Chryssalid (EU2012)|Chryssalid]] Autopsy), with a big blast radius but doesn't affect enemies in cover; '''Stealth Grenade''', provides allies with a invisibility paint. Another report mentions also a Poison Grenade.
* New item: '''Mimic Beacon''' - can be thrown on the map into a square within the player's moving range. The mimic beacon will send out a signal that tricks aliens into thinking it's human, drawing them towards it and away from any nearby player units.
* '''Reaper Rounds''' gives ballistic weapon a bonus to Critical Hit chance.
* [[Assault (EU2012)|Assault]]'s Close and Personal now gives a free shot when within 4 tiles of an enemy.
**You can run up to an enemy shoot it and then run back into cover.
* [[Support (EU2012)|Support]]'s '''Covering Fire''' now fires before the enemy uses its weapon.
* [[Sniper (EU2012)|Sniper]]'s '''Snap Shot''' aim penalty reduced from -20 to -10.
* Sniper's '''Squad Sight''' only gives Critical Damage if Headshot is used.
* Support's '''Deep Pockets''' now gives twice as many charges to Grenades, Arc Thrower, Medikits or any other item with limited uses.
* [[Foundry (EU2012)|Foundry]] upgrade that gives all classes an additional item slot.
 

==Gameplay Changes==
* [[Flanking (EU2012)|Flanking]] system has been reworked with Aiming Angle (new Second Wave option): the closer you get to flank an alien, the more its cover bonus declines (works also against your soldiers).
* Critical bonus of stealth attacks reduced from 100 to 30.
* Panicked soldiers will have chance to hit decreased, so friendly fire will be less deadly.
* Difficulty in Classic and Impossible modes will be slightly increased, [http://www.nowgamer.com/news/2052890/xcom_enemy_within_will_be_even_harder.html| according] to the developers.
* Several issues have been fixed, including Line of Sight.
 

==Interface Changes==
* New [[Second Wave (EU2012)|Second Wave]] options.
** Non-cover aliens (Mechtoid and [[Sectopod (EU2012)|Sectopod]]) have a 50% chance of firing at your soldiers on sight.
** Randomize all Class [[Abilities (EU2012)|abilities]] sets. You may have [[Heavy (EU2012)|Heavies]] with Lightning Reflexes and Squad Sight.
** '''Save Scum''' – Saving a game will reset the RNG seed for the shots.
**'''Aiming Angles''' – The closer you come to flanking an enemy the more their cover bonus declines
* There will be an inventory button to strip away all items from soldiers not in the squad lineup ("Make items available").
* You can now personalize your soldier's voice according to its nationality (French soldiers can speak in French or any other language) using the available audio packs for the current language editions (following languages were confirmed: Spanish, German, Italian, French, Polish, Russian). The personalization applies to soldiers nicknames as well. The game footage released has nicknames such as Tirailleur (French for skirmisher), Unruhe (German for Restless) and Maestro (Italian for Master).
* There's an option to shut up Drs. Vahlen and Shen.
* Memorial (place where you see fallen soldiers) will have additional information shown: cause of death
 

==New Maps==
* [[Maps (EU2012)|Maps]]: some maps have been "tweaked", some to address exploding car issues and to add Meld containers.
* The old and new maps will be mixed together but the game is set so that you'll see more of the new maps during a gameplay.
* There's now at least two new map settings that deal with crashed UFOs in a destroyed city and in a Farm.
* According to this Polish [http://www.cdaction.pl/news-34311/gamescom-13-xcom-enemy-within---pierwsze-rozszerzenie-do-enemy-unknown-zapowiedziane-wideo.html| article], there will be 47 new maps.

There are more surprises coming according to the producers other than what's revealed so far.

==PC/Console Versions==
* The PC version will cost 30$ and the Console 40$.

* Currently Firaxis has no plans to launch Enemy Within for iOS, due to the already large file size of the original game for the device.

==The Meld==
[[Image:Meld (EU2012).png|right|300px|Meld]]
* The Meld is a new resource that will be present in containers on several maps (Abductions and [[UFOs (EU2012)|UFOs]]).
* The 2 [[Meld (EU2012)|Meld]] containers need to be captured during a certain timeframe, otherwise they will self-destruct forcing a player to move swiftly to find and capture them. 1 canister will be located on a location easy to reach, another in a hard location. The canisters can be hidden to force a player to look for them.
* The Meld can be used to create either [[Mech Trooper (EU2012)|Mech Troopers]] (a new class) or to genetically increase any class abilities (including Mechs).
* The Meld also brings 2 new base facilities: [[Genetics Labs (EU2012)|Genetics Labs]] and [[Cybernetics Labs (EU2012)|Cybernetics Labs]]. There's also a mention about a "single, very low-cost new tech to power both" on this [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-18-xcom-enemy-within-preview-things-to-mech-and-do interview].

* Assault's Close and Personal is now called '''Up Close and Personal''': gives a free shot when within 4 tiles of an enemy.
**You can run up to an enemy shoot it and then run back into cover.
* Support's '''Covering Fire''' now fires before the enemy uses its weapon.
* Sniper's '''Snap Shot''' aim penalty reduced from -20 to -10.

* Critical bonus of stealth attacks reduced from 100 to 30.
 

==Interface Changes==
* New Second Wave options.
** Non-cover aliens (Mechtoid and Sectopod) have a 50% chance of firing at your soldiers on sight.

* There will be an inventory button to strip away all items from a soldier ("make item available").
* You can now personalize your soldier's voice according to its nationality (French soldiers can speak in French or any other language) using the available audio packs for the current language editions. The personalization applies to soldiers nicknames as well. The game footage released has nicknames such as Tirailleur (French for skirmisher), Unruhe (German for Restless) and Maestro (Italian for Master).
* There's an option to shut up Drs. Vahlen and Shen.
 

==New Maps==
* Maps: some maps have been "tweaked", some to address exploding cars issues and to add Meld containers.
* The old and new maps will be mixed together but the game is set so that you'll see more of the new maps during a gameplay.
* There's now at least two new map settings that deal with crashed UFOs in a destroyed city and in a Farm.
* According to this Polish [http://www.cdaction.pl/news-34311/gamescom-13-xcom-enemy-within---pierwsze-rozszerzenie-do-enemy-unknown-zapowiedziane-wideo.html| article], there will be 47 new maps.

XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)

[[Image:XCOM Enemy Within Poster.png|right|600px|Enemy Within poster]]

On August 21st, Producer 2K revealed during Gamescom 2013 a new DLC for XCOM: Enemy Unknown called XCOM: Enemy Within. It will be available also for consoles and has a release date of November 12th, 2013. There are more surprises coming according to the producers.

List of details revealed on August 21st on this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCSoqdOZ0-M| video], along with these articles from [http://www.polygon.com/2013/8/21/4642424/xcom-enemy-within-expansion-announcement-release-date Polygon] and [http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/08/21/xcom-enemy-within-announced-tons-of-details IGN]:

==The Meld==
[[Image:Meld (EU2012).png|right|300px|Meld]]
* The Meld is a new resource that will be present in containers on several maps (Abductions and UFOs).
* The 2 [[Meld (EU2012)|Meld]] containers need to be captured during a certain timeframe, otherwise they will self-destruct forcing a player to move swiftly to find and capture them. 1 canister will be located on a location easy to reach, another in a hard location. The canisters can be hidden to force a player to look for them.
* The Meld can be used to create either [[Mech Trooper (EU2012)|Mech Troopers]] (a new class) or to genetically increase any class abilities (including Mechs).
* The Meld also brings 2 new base facilities: [[Genetics Labs (EU2012)|Genetics Labs]] and [[Cybernetics Labs (EU2012)|Cybernetics Labs]]. There's also a mention about a "single, very low-cost new tech to power both" on this [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-18-xcom-enemy-within-preview-things-to-mech-and-do interview].
 

==Gene Mods==
[[Image:Gene Mods (EU2012).png|right|300px|Gene Mods]]
* Alien Autopsies will reveal genetic modifications ("[[Gene Mods (EU2012)|Gene Mods]]") for your soldiers.
* Gene Mods can apply to the following categories: Brain, Eyes, Chest, Skin, Legs, with 2 options available for each (and that can be swapped at a cost)
* Brain: '''Neural Feedback''' (damages an alien attempting mind control but doesn't reduce its chance) or '''Neural Damping''' (soldier immune to panic, becomes unconscious if enemy manages to MC it).
* Legs: '''Muscle Fiber''' (a soldier can climb walls without a Skeleton Suit) or '''Adaptive Bone Marrow''' (limited health regeneration for wounded soldiers).
* Chest: a double heart ability to protect your soldiers from death.
* Skin: a type of stealth skin that turns your soldiers invisible.
 

==Mech Trooper==
* Mech Troopers can be created from any soldier but they'll lose all abilities they previously had.
* Mech Troopers have the Mechanized Exoskeleton Cybersuit or [[MEC suit (EU2012)|MEC Suit]] which can be damaged and need to be repaired.
* Mech Weapons: '''Minigun''', '''Railgun''' and an energy weapon, along with a '''Kinetic Strike Module''', which allows to punch aliens in the face. Other weapons include also a '''Flamethrower''', '''Proximity Mines''' and a '''Grenade Launcher'''.
* Mech Abilities: '''Shock-Absorbent Armor''' (starting ability); '''Collateral Damage''' (allows to target terrain), a high powered Melee attack, '''Damage Control''' (which reduces the damage taken for one turn), Cover & Squad Healing abilities to protect and heal other soldiers.
* According to the developers Mechs are very expensive to purchase.
* From the available footage it seems Mechs do not require Cover (they can't be flanked) since the cover shield is never seen. This mean that they probably have the '''Hardened''' ability present on SHIVs and alien robotic units that gives increased protection against critical hits.

==New Aliens==
[[Image:Enemy_Within 3.png|right|300px|The Mechtoid]]
* Aliens also have two confirmed Mech versions, including the [[Mechtoid (EU2012)|Mechtoid]] (Sectoid Mech version). The Mechtoid can fire twice in a turn and Sectoids can mind merge with it and give it a damage reducing shield (but it won't die if the merger is killed).
* Another report mentions 'several' new aliens. Wait and see...
 

==Class and Weapons Changes==
* Two new grenades: '''Needle Grenade''' (after researching Chryssalid Autopsy), with a big blast radius but doesn't affect enemies in cover; '''Stealth Grenade''', provides allies with a invisibility paint. Another report mentions also a Poison Grenade.
* '''Reaper Rounds''' gives ballistic weapon a bonus to Critical Hit chance.
* Assault's Close and Personal is now called '''Up Close and Personal''': gives a free shot when within 4 tiles of an enemy.
**You can run up to an enemy shoot it and then run back into cover.

His appearance and voice are not available to any other units, and neither can they nor the appearance of his armour be modified.

Initially a Triad operative, he turns rogue upon learning his boss has obtained a briefcase containing alien technology. This leads him to turn to XCOM (believing the aliens to be a credible threat to mankind), and once escorted to a pick-up point by your squad he joins your forces as a [[Heavy_(EU2012)|Heavy]] unit [[Soldiers_(EU2012)#Ranks|ranked]] at Lieutenant.

Although slightly more powerful then the average soldier, Zhang is expendable and can be killed in battle after recruitment. An extra [[Achievements_(EU2012)|Achievement]] exists for having him attend the [[Missions_(EU2012)#Temple_Ship|final mission]] ("Rising Dragon").

If Zhang is killed during his introductory mission, that mission will later be offered again. His powers of re-incarnation falter once recruited.

After joining XCOM as a [[Heavy (EU2012)|Heavy]] Lieutenant, Zhang will have the following stats:
* HP: 9
* Defense: 0
* Will: 70
* Aim: 75

His appearance and voice are not available to any other units, and neither can they nor the appearance of his armour be modified.

Initially a Triad operative, he turns rogue upon learning his boss has obtained a briefcase containing alien technology. This leads him to turn to XCOM (believing the aliens to be a credible threat to mankind), and once escorted to a pick-up point by your squad he joins your forces as a [[Heavy_(EU2012)|Heavy]] unit [[Soldiers_(EU2012)#Ranks|ranked]] at Lieutenant.

Although slightly more powerful then the average soldier, Zhang is expendable and can be killed in battle after recruitment. An extra [[Achievements_(EU2012)|Achievement]] exists for having him attend the [[Missions_(EU2012)#Temple_Ship|final mission]] ("Rising Dragon").

If Zhang is killed during his introductory mission, that mission will later be offered again. His powers of re-incarnation falter once recruited.

After joining XCOM as a [[Heavy (EU2012)|Heavy]] Lieutenant, Zhang will have the following stats:
* Health: 9
* Defense: 0
* Will: 70
* Aim: 75
