This is the Ufopaedia.org news page where relevant news and site messages will appear. When this page is transcluded into other pages, only the new news items should appear there. Everything else will only display on this page. At least that is how it should work in theory.

Squads (EU2012)

2012-10-19T11:59:43Z

== Four-Man Squad ==
''The four-man squad is your default squad size.''

The majority of your units this early will be rookies and therefore not have a class. Once you obtain sufficient ranked soldiers, you can start adjusting your squads for the missions you're embarking upon. The standard "one of each" is a typical approach here.

== Five-Man Squad ==
''The five-man squad is unlocked after purchasing the Squad Size I ability from the [[OTS_(EU2012) | Officer Training School]].''

== Six-Man Squad ==
''The six-man squad is unlocked after purchasing the Squad Size II ability from the [[OTS_(EU2012) | Officer Training School]].''

== Achievement: Single-Man Squad ==
''Clear a UFO crash site with one soldier on Classic or Impossible difficulty.''

This mission is likely easiest towards the start of the game, when the aliens are not very strong. Heavy or Assault units would be most effective due to their high damage output and and their respective moving and firing abilities (Run & Gun or Bullet Swarm). Taking a medikit over a grenade will increase your longevity if you aren't killed outright, but the area of effect damage will be beneficial when trying to clear enemies more quickly.

==XCOM: UFO Defense==

Update: Well, game's about to be released and the [[Enemy Unknown (EU2012)]] page and table have been worked on, and now there will surely be more people stopping by and wanting to know more. So the question I'm asking everyone is to have a look at the current status of the new game page and think about when the new table should be moved to the UFOPaedia's Main page? [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 20:23, 7 October 2012 (EDT)

== New Main Page layout. ==

I'm working on a new Main Page layout. Found here: [http://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=User:Kokkan/Main_Page]. So I was wondering if it would be possible to apply something like this ([http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#How_do_I_hide_the_main_page_title.3F])? Preferable (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NoTitle) --[[User:Kokkan|Kokkan]] 16:34, 18 September 2012 (EDT)
:Looks good to me, just one thing: why is the OpenXcom logo displayed? [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 09:11, 4 October 2012 (EDT)
:: That was just a aesthetic choice. =) --[[User:Kokkan|Kokkan]] 12:36, 4 October 2012 (EDT)
::: I see :) Well the thing is that it's that placing that logo there is going to bring a lot of attention to that project. My question was if that was intentional or not. [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 12:43, 4 October 2012 (EDT)
:::: Kokkan, would it be possible to squeeze the 'featured article' on the corner below the 'UFOpaedia News' (probably enlarge the corner)? I like how the new design has a compact look to it and to me it would look better if the 'featured article' was integrated with the news sections. Or probably even switch its position and put it on top rather than the 'UFOpaedia news' [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 12:57, 4 October 2012 (EDT)
::::: Right now it depends on the width of the browser and the content in the Featured Article. I might be able to set some auto-width on the XCOM New window. --[[User:Kokkan|Kokkan]] 09:11, 5 October 2012 (EDT)
:::::: I was wondering if it wouldn't be better to bring up the Enemy Unknown 2012 table as the first table, at least for some time after the game is released. With my current maximum resolution both tables still appear one over the other, and I think the UFO Defense table might need a little reorganization and after it is done both games go back to being side by side. Or any other ideas. [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 20:15, 8 October 2012 (EDT)
::::::: What?! This layout should work with all resolutions down to 1280x720 without stacking items. So it should be fine on everything except the smallest ( <11" ) notepads and pads. --[[User:Kokkan|Kokkan]] 04:49, 9 October 2012 (EDT)
:::::::: My resolution on my monitor is 1280x1024 and both tables are stacked. [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 05:00, 9 October 2012 (EDT)

Same issue here with the overlapping tables, and my screen's 1024 pixels wide. Doesn't look any better on the tablet. Quick solution: Break the table out and have it on top ala the original's old main table, and have the original follow immediately after.

A while back I had wanted to redesign the front page but had to shelve it (and then quickly forgot about it). That was to make the main page just contain the news and a list of box art for the various games that point the users to separate main pages for the different titles, allowing the main tables for each title to be a bit more elaborate. Perhaps this might be a good time to resurrect that concept? [[User:NKF|NKF]] 07:15, 9 October 2012 (EDT)
:I'll place the EU 2012 table on top of the original game table (*sniff* *sniff*) for now until a permanent solution is found or the issue is fixed. I'm good with that solution or any other.
:Quick fix: I've moved it to the Featured section. [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 08:03, 9 October 2012 (EDT)

:Hi folks, I think the partition to having the XCOM 2012 on its own main page is a really good one... now, folks can go to town on it, without having to keep touching the original fansite per se. But it is still kept close by having a highlighted announcement - Thanks for that, Kokkan! Some other comments:
[[File:X-COM UFOpaedia screen.jpg|100px|right|thumb|It's UFOpaedia]]
::*Do we need two "action" pictures at a time? Maybe we could have one, and use it to help balance the X-COM and the UFOpaedia news so that both "sides" of the news end at about the same place. For that matter, either side of the news could otherwise be tightened up, or expanded. But I wish they both ended at the same place so the main page looks more professional.
::*This is the time to make the standard for the new XCOM 2012 pages. Can I please ask that, for the URLs themselves, we not put parentheses around EU2012? I see it leading to a lot of hassle because ultimately there will be citations in citations in citations and other future complexities, including for other sites trying to cite us... parens just make everything more difficult and clunky. If you agree but say "but it'd be a hassle to fix it now", I say that's the wrong answer because it's about to explode (I'm sure!!!), so it's really now or never. Just append EU2012, without parens... everybody can figure out what it means. :)
::*I'm not sure just how/when it happened, but there's a lot of "Ufopaedia" on the main page. We use the original game as the convention setter, right? It's a minor thing, but still, we should have a convention, one way or the other. Does someone think it should be Ufopaedia?
::*To me, the brief OpenXcom logo nip slip (laugh) raises the issue that I wish we highlighted these efforts better... maybe they could use a little shout-out at the bottom of X-COM News section (just a very brief mention or link - little or no write-up), instead of the tiny section they now have, way at the bottom of the main UFOpaedia page.
:Again, the above points are minor... the big thing is the new place from EU2012 (great idea!). Thanks!! -[[User:MikeTheRed|MikeTheRed]] 14:24, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

:: We can set the hight at fixed values, but I really don't see a point to it. Since the size of the content will change. I prefer the parentheses in the naming, it clarifies what game the page relates to, and I don't see an extensive problem in linking to pages. Like ( [[Enemy_Unknown_(2012)|Enemy Unknown]]). On the UFOpaedia & OpenXcom logo, I fully agree. --[[User:Kokkan|Kokkan]] 09:11, 5 October 2012 (EDT)
::: One easy trick to link pages with the (EU2012) suffix is to open the top page on the category, which usually contains a list of all items related with that subject, press edit and then copy/paste the links. [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 09:19, 5 October 2012 (EDT)

== XCOM Sidebar logo==
One possibility I thought of would be to replace the old logo/badge on the upper left corner of the wiki with the newer XCOM badge. Here's some options: 
[[File:Xcomnewlogo.png|100px|XCOM badge used ingame on the soldiers armor - I can't get a better pic than this one]]
[[File:Blue badge XCOM EU.png|100px|XCOM icon used on packing and ingame for menus, etc.]]
[[File:Xcom_eu_logo.jpg|100px|And there's also the game logo]] 

Anymore ideas? Which would be best? [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 13:44, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

:The game logo is much cooler, while the insignias seem much more real-to-life. That said, I vote for cooler. The essence of the old X-COM was how scary cool it was. -[[User:MikeTheRed|MikeTheRed]] 14:33, 4 October 2012 (EDT)

:: I say keep the old X-logo, show the roots and lets not take over the entire wiki with EU2012. Use the new logos at appropriate EU2012 pages. --[[User:Kokkan|Kokkan]] 08:55, 5 October 2012 (EDT)

::: Not selling ourselves completely eh? ;) Well I just have to say I love the yellow and black insignia - that's probably the first XCOM logo/icon I really enjoy :) [[User:Hobbes|Hobbes]] 09:15, 5 October 2012 (EDT)

:Showing roots is good, too. The gold one does not seem as high-rez as the other... can we get it any better? -[[User:MikeTheRed|MikeTheRed]] 09:55, 5 October 2012 (EDT)

== Disambiguation of 1994 vs 2012 Entries ==

See for example the Sectoid entry, where a link to Sectoid (EU2012) has just been added as the first line of the entry. Are we going to do that for every entry that has the same name in 1994 as in 2012? That's a lot of minor edits someone will need to make! And putting these cross references under See Also would be less intrusive. But maybe a lot of enquiries from new site users are going to be related to EU 2012, and they will be confused if the cross reference is not clear and up-front. Let's agree a standard approach for this. As an alternative we could use disambiguation pages that show links to both the 1994 and the 2012 versions. Instead or as well, we could start moving 1994 pages by appending (EU1994) to the name. That's also quite a lot of work, but may be clearer in the long term. Even more work comes in if we were to use for example [[Sectoid]] as the disambiguation page, because that would mean rewriting all links to Sectoid in all the 1994 entries of the Ufopaedia. Thoughts everyone? [[User:Spike|Spike]] 03:56, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

On a related point - do we really need to append (EU2012) to every entry? I would think it's only necessary when the same term is used in both games. So it makes sense for Sectoid, but not so much sense for Gollop Chamber. I would suggest that for a term that is ''definitely'' unique to EU 2012, the (EU2012) suffix is not required. But there should always be an EU 2012 Category tag on the entry. [[User:Spike|Spike]] 06:28, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

: If we don't tag everything now, do we risk the same issue we're running into with UFO Defense? Also, the new Sectoid page has a space between EU and 2012. No other new page has that. My OCD is making me want to stab people. Is there a way to edit it to not have a space? As far as which way to go, I prefer disambiguation pages much like wikipedia does, but that typically requires tagging both. I would be happy to do the leg work and chase down all the 1994 ones but I don't like how EU1994 looks (especially since it says 1994 in the Games column to the left [sorry - fixed that - Spike] ) and I don't know how to update page names. --[[User:PixelOrange|PixelOrange]] 06:34, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

:: Yes, we do need to keep the games a part to not run into conflicting pages/links. Hence we suffix ALL pages on the NEW game ''(EU2012)''; this is the simplest and most clear way to do it. It does make it a bit of a hassle to link stuff yes. Even if some parts are unique, keep with the naming convention to keep it all as clear as possible. No, There is NO WAY we can do the same for the original game, there is just to much pages and links (and if we start and don't complete or something goes wrong, the wiki is in a fucked up state). So all pages on Enemy Unknown without the suffix refers to the original game. --[[User:Kokkan|Kokkan]] 07:12, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

:::So, if we're not going to retroactively update the old Enemy Unknown, redirects at the top of every page is my favorite choice (just as they do over at wikipedia). It gives you a quick link right at the top of the page, it's non-intrusive, and it's easy to implement across the board. --[[User:PixelOrange|PixelOrange]] 07:38, 19 October 2012 (EDT)

PixelOrange: /* Game Description */

==Game Description==

[http://www.xcom.com/enemyunknown/information XCOM: Enemy Unknown] (aka XCOM: EU or simply EU), released 9th Oct 2012 in the USA and 12th Oct2012 in Europe, is a video game (PC, XBox360 and PS3) wherein the player is in charge of an elite paramilitary organization called XCOM. XCOM: EU is a restart of the 'XCOM' series of games that started in 1994 with UFO: Enemy Unknown (aka XCOM: UFO Defense). Extraterrestrials are attacking Earth and it is your job to defend the planet. "''Good luck Commander.''"

Like its predecessors, EU is a unique game because it blends a strategy layer with a turn-based tactical combat layer. In terms of overall strategy, you are tasked with building a base, researching technology, translating that into gear, equipping soldiers & aircraft, managing global politics to secure funding, choosing & planning missions, managing soldiers' abilities & 'perks', and more. In terms of tactical combat, you choose every move and action of each of your soldiers.

Having total control over every aspect of the XCOM agency is meaningful; every success bolsters a sense of accomplishment, while every veteran's 'perma-death' and subsequent replacement by a minimally-skilled rookie feels like a gut punch from a Muton Berserker. Choose wisely, and you just might lay waste to the alien baddies. Choose poorly, and may not be able to protect the Funding Council nations or even survive a combat mission.

Lead Designer Jake Solomon is known for describing the 'one thing that ''is'' XCOM' as being consequences: no shot can be taken for granted and every choice you make in the game could have a significant impact. This speaks to XCOM's inherent replayability as well as it's infamous difficulty.

==Difficulty Levels==
* Easy - new to XCOM or tactical games
* Normal - for familiar players
* Classic - very challenging; for experience players (No Officer Training School at start)
* Impossible - "''For players who find joy in suffering.''" (Tutorial disabled)

===Advanced Options===
* Ironman Mode: While not a dedicated difficulty 'level', choosing Ironman Mode upon starting a campaign increases difficulty by allowing only one save slot that is determined by auto-save. Clicked on the wrong square and got your Colonel killed out of cover? Countries permanently left the Funding Council because you botched that mission? "''That's XCOM.''"
* Tutorial: Provides a tutorial via practice combat(s) and some basic base management. Essentially the same as the Demo. Without the tutorial, you start on a 4-Rookie combat mission rather than starting with a lone surviving Squaddie.

==Game Options==
