+As X-COM's manufacturing requirements expand, and the need to sell items to keep finances under control becomes vital, having bases dedicated just to producing items for constructing or selling equipment can become prudent.
 ===Research & Storage Base===

+Due to the expanded research requirements of Hardmode, having a dedicated research base may prove a worthwhile investment in the long run. Furthermore storage of captured alien artifacts may rapidly consume inventory space at X-COM HQ and at any ancillary bases.

The concept of '''X-COM Bases''' remains unchanged from vanilla. With the increased Alien threat to the Earth, every effort will be needed to expand and build additional bases across the Earth to be able to effectively respond to all enemy threats.

With the increased cost of facility construction and maintenance, X-COM commanders will need to exercise great care and overall strategic thought behind every construction effort.

==Headquarters==
Welcome to X-COM headquarters. Fortunately your planners saw fit to design a defendable base of operations, with a strong checkpoint at the main access lift, any intruders will struggle to get a foothold. The design leaves ample room for growth as your operational needs expand.

X-COM commanders will need to determine if it is worthwhile to expand the headquarters into a fully fledged base of operations, or to split off operations such as manufacturing and researching into separate bases to avoid placing vital assets in one place. Transforming headquarters into a fully furnished base will provide quicker benefits and be cheaper in the long run, but run the risk of greater losses if a devastating assault on the base occurs, and guarantee a slowdown on international base expansion.

This base design maximises the protentional of X-COM headquarters. Enough living space to fully staff two laboratories, three workshops and a sizeable contingent of soldiers, near maximum UFO radar detection and room for a interceptor fleet.

Of course, all the money invested into this is money that won't be invested in other bases, that could be better specialized.

==Secondary Bases==
Newly constructed bases confer X-COM full control on how to determine the base layout. Due to the budget constraints of waging a defensive war X-COM will find it prudent to specalize all constructed bases to speed up construction times and decrease overall costs. Some possible base designations are listed below.

Intended to house a transport craft and a strike team of Soldiers and HWP's, these bases can provide X-COM with additional strike teams and thus the ability to attack multiple grounded UFOs simultaneously. In their early construction phase they can be left as a '''radar''' base until funds become avaliable to expand into a strike base.
