New mission types?
« on: August 03, 2010, 01:24:47 pm »
(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.

Nope, as far as I know the type of misson depends on place where UFO lands.

Oh, I see. It is just that, in lurking the forum I have seen in reference to the "drug lord" map in which the asker was told that this map would only appear after he is playing the game for a time.

Thank you again!

that for sure is possible - because some maps only support some of the ufos or dropships - so if a map does only support ufos that are appearing late in the game, the map itself will appear later, too. head over to the skirmish menu to see all maps and playtest them
