(I do hope this is in the right section.)
Hello. I haven't been playing this game for very long, but I am loving what you guys have done here, and am really having a good time.
Anyway, I am curious about something. Recently, while playing (this is just after disassembling my first UFO, if it is any bearing on the missions that come up) I received a mission, about a landed UFO I think, and it was a "Wilderness" type map. I sent my soldiers to this mission, only to discover a whole new map type! (I was very pleased, and excited).
And again, more recently, I received notice of a mission at a resort! The change of scenery was very refreshing, and I enjoyed this map as well.
So my question is, are map types depending on research? Are new map types and mission types becoming enabled when a certain "threshold" is crossed? Or is it only depending on time?
Thank you very much!
I hope I'm not being too silly.
