FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

: How much control do I have over my soldiers in combat?

Players have a high degree of control over their soldiers in combat. You issue turn-based commands, including movement, attacks, and special abilities. You select soldier positions and use cover to maximize survivability. The game uses a probability-based system for attacks, adding an element of chance to the tactical decisions.; How does the base management aspect of the game work?

Base management involves constructing facilities, assigning scientists and engineers to research and development projects, managing resources, and building and upgrading equipment. Players must make strategic choices about resource allocation to balance immediate needs with long-term goals.; Is there a strategic layer in addition to the tactical combat?

Yes, the game has a significant strategic layer. Players make decisions on a global scale, such as choosing which countries to support, intercepting alien UFOs, and managing the flow of resources. Strategic choices impact the resources available and the types of missions encountered.; What is the role of research in XCOM: Enemy Unknown?

Research is vital to understanding alien technology and developing countermeasures. Players assign scientists to analyze alien artifacts, corpses, and recovered technology to unlock new weapons, armor, and base upgrades, which are crucial to fighting the alien invasion.; How important is squad composition in XCOM: Enemy Unknown?

Squad composition is very important. Different soldier classes excel in different roles. Balancing a squad with a variety of classes, such as snipers, heavy weapons specialists, and close-range combatants, is key to success in missions. Class selection should take the current mission type into consideration.; What happens when soldiers die in XCOM: Enemy Unknown?

Soldier death is permanent. The loss of experienced soldiers can be a significant setback, as they take their specialized abilities and experience with them. Managing casualties is a key part of the strategic challenge, pushing players to make choices to protect their soldiers.
