How many bases can you purchase?

(1/6) > >>

Outlawstar15a2:
1.) How many bases can you purchase before hitting your limit?

2.) Can you put more then one base in a nation's territory?

tzzimy:
1) On easy level if you manage to have all nations Exuberant you get maximum around 950,000 credits. That is enough to pay monthly expenses for 4 bases. I have built 6 bases so far, so I cannot answer what is the maximum limit. By my experience so far 8 bases should be enough to cover the whole globe with advanced radars. If not less than 8... ;)

2) Yes. You can build anywhere you want but try to keep the bases as widely spread as possible to cover more territory and reduce the time the interceptors need to reach a UFO or the mission carriers to reach destination and return. Saves you game time as well. It does not matter to keep a nation Happy where your base is so much. I had 1 base at the Revolutionary countries from the start of the game but I couldn't make them Exuberant happy until the 6th month when everyone else was Exuberant :P

Cheers,
Tzzimy

Is there a recommended placement for the minimum amount of bases needed to effectively cover the globe?

tzzimy:
Well... Its fun to think as effectively as possible in this game. What you gain? Game play time reduced! ;D

Hints: Think how to cover a sphere's surface with the number of bases you want effectively, but watch out how game mechanics (continental land coverage, nation borders, ufo lost at sea etc) influence the best placement of your base.

You will realize soon enough through the game mechanics as they reveal themselves to you while you play, if your base is in a good spot or not.

But after all its a game! ^^ Just enjoy and have fun wherever you put your bases!
