The number of base locations available to X-Com varies according to the [[Difficulty_Levels_(Apocalypse)|difficulty level]].
__NOTOC__
'''Base Location and Building Style ''based'' on [[Difficulty_Levels_(Apocalypse)|Difficulty]].'''


On the city maps, yellow coloured buildings are Government [[Warehouse (Apocalypse)|Warehouses]] whereas red denotes Government [[Slums (Apocalypse)|Slums]]. A building's (for a new base which is located '''underground''') cost depends on the physical size of the top-side structure.<br>
You buy the building's basement but you defend the structure above from collapsing into your base.
Note: The above-ground structure is always owned by the Government. The underground location of the X-Com base is selected when LMB clicking on the top-side building. The government owned building is susceptible to infestation and infiltration!


==Novice Level==
==Cityscape==
A new base location underground is only available for purchase from the [[Government]], even when hostile.

Warehouses structures are more resistant to cityscape damage then derelict slums.

===Notes===
{| {{StdDescTable}} border | style="text-align:center"
Hades Block is an ideal choice for a second base, as it has the most space, the second-lowest price tag, and while located in a slum, tends to be close to dimension gates and UFO spawning.  35 units of available space mean all the advanced labs you could want to build. 
 
Warehouse Six is the best available real estate for defense and hit resistance, if you can spare the money for its price tag.
 
The Campesino Apartments might be interesting if you don't mind the possibility of a unlucky stray shot hitting the wrong spot of the building and killing all personnel.
 
Warehouse Three is the cheapest and has good space for several large facilities, but has the least space for expansion, limiting the scope of functions that this base can contain at any given time.

Warehouse Eight is a very interesting option because of its defense chokepoints. Warehouse Six has the biggest area and the smallest price but will require more [[Security Station (Apocalypse)|Security Stations]] to protect it from raids.

&Dagger; Structurally weak and easily collapsed.
 
===Notes===
When starting a new Superhuman campaign, Warehouse Two is one of the most common of the possible starting points.
 
Warehouses Eight and Ten are the best options. Thomas More Tower should be avoided at all costs, as it is structurally unsound (a single hit to its own foundations, or even the foundations of the adjacent George Orwell Block, will cause the entire building to collapse).
 
Warehouses Ten and Eleven are adjacent to one another.


Though probably not the most perfect layout due to the Access Lift placement, the Lovecraft Block is one of the very few possible starting bases, if not the only one in the game, where your personell will never die if the base gets attacked or hit by a stray shot from a craft, causing all building parts to collapse. Along with featuring 4 aircraft tubes for fast dispatching, all personell is housed in the southern tube, which is an indestructible building part. It makes for one of the safest bases to use as your main base on the Superhuman difficulty. If enough time and money is spent on re-arranging the facility placements to better counter Base Defense missions it can become the ultimate base.

Base Location and Building Style based on Difficulty.

You buy the building's basement but you defend the structure above from collapsing into your base.

Cityscape

A new base location underground is only available for purchase from the Government, even when hostile.

Warehouses structures are more resistant to cityscape damage then derelict slums.
