			:Actually I'm convinced now that the Strategic/Base layers can be integrated together for table proposes - this also follows the game interface where you have tabs with all these names (and any strategy needs to consider all these operational areas):
			[[File:XCOM_Organization_(EU2012).png\|right\|400px]]
			I've put this chart on the [[XCOM (EU2012)\|XCOM]] page, which now explains the origin and propose of XCOM, its organization, and the victory conditions. I think the XCOM page may serve better to explain the general overview/goals of the Strategic Layer and then each of the 7 areas can go more into details about how it affects the game/strategy.

New page

== How to structure XCOM: Enemy Unknown content ==
Lets start a discussion here on how to best structure the pages for the new game. Keep it short, clear and constructive.
The core point (of the previous argument) is if there is a Geoscape layer in the new game. My opinion is yes; even though it is more integrated with the Base layer of the game now.
XCOM has 3 layers, and I find it natural to structure the content around these layers (I might be biased from playing the old games).
* Tactical/Battlescape = (Soldiers, Abilities, Weapons, Armour, Tactics, Maps ... and so on. )
* Base = ( Economy, Production, Research, Staff ...)
* Strategical/Geoscape = ( Interception, Satellites, Bases (interceptor in this case), Panic, and so on. )

My suggestions:
* Keep the Geoscape (or whatever you want to call it). And keep Mission Control, Situation Room
* Mission types can have a single page until we have enough info on each type of mission.
* "Combat Tactics" is actually a part of Battlescape, unless we should sort all "facts" in one section and "non-facts" (tips, guides, strategy and so on) in another.
