Requests (EU2012): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:07, 14 October 2013

From time to time an individual Council country may request assistance through the sale of Weapons, Alien Artifacts or even satellites. In exchange for supplying the country with the desired item, XCOM will receive in return Credits and/or Scientists/Engineers. The credits offered in exchange are usually 30-50% higher than the values required for building the item or selling it on the Grey Market. This may motivate Commanders to keep a few extra units of items in store or to change their current manufacturing depending on the value of the offered reward. Requests have a deadline of 20 days to be fulfilled or they will be removed at the end of that period.

A notable particularity is the request for a Satellite Transfer. A country which asks for a satellite can ask you to transfer or to actually launch one to monitor its territory against UFO incursions. But if launched, XCOM retains control of the satellite as well, which means all of the monthly funding, extra scientists and/or engineers, as well as potentially triggering the continent bonus if you have enough coverage. With the request completion reward as well, this makes waiting till towards the end of the month to launch satellites a great idea.

-From time to time countries may request assistance.  For example, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Vyj0BDEXKPc#t=149s here] Australia requested 4 Laser Pistols within 20 days for a reward of §165.  This may motivate players to keep a few extra units of items in store or to change their current manufacturing depending on the value of the offered reward.

-Typically, any items that are sent to the requesting country are not available for XCOM to use for research purposes or for missions. A notable exception, however, is the request for a satellite. A country which asks for a satellite is asking you to actually launch one to monitor your territory. XCOM retains control of the satellite as well, which means all of the monthly funding, extra scientists and/or engineers, as well as potentially triggering the continent bonus if you have enough coverage.
