Rival companys?

[Northen_Wolf]

Well i've came on a idea of rival company(s)/organization(s) in game, they would own same kinda army as u do(special alien clearing teams and iterceptors),

WHAT THEY DO:
*** They will try to shoot down aliens and  clear up UFOs beafore u do... -Goes for your shot down UFOs too

*** They build bases to different countryes, but won't share theyr alien info with u
 - exept if u pay: for example u click on theyr base and choose theyr "radar info", u must pay some $$$ to them for month to see theyr radar info.
- They will buy radar info from u too (if u are near theyr base for example base in russia(theyr) and base in germany Your) so they could see any UFOs that come from your area,

*** They try to clear up any alien threat if u don't react to it fast enough
-  You can do that too, but if u shoot down UFO and they attack it, you get 25% of materials and Money, they get and same if u attack for their shot down UFOs.

- Maybe there can be up to two teams (on large maps) one belonging to you one to them?

*** They sell theyr discovered tehnology for heavy price....
- Same u can do
  Well why not make some use of thec  u invested ur time in:P

*** They offer u base(s) or/and soldiers(with expirence) and supplys for credit...
-Same u can do. If u don't want base - sell it!

-----------------WHY is this usefull?---------------------

*** Well they help you to protect countrys but u get minimal amount of money from country u don't protect (cover with radar range)...

*** You make some $$$ out of alien and human thec. (but will you be kind enough and sell that thec to them? as it advances them too

*** More challange in hard mode where they advance faster - that means u must be mroe agressive

*** In easy mode they would be supportive and build bases so that countryes wouln't stop paying to you....

Comments/ideas?

Hmm, I thing it will be better if you land in shotdown/landed ufos - AI - humans - army/policemans(and in rare cases civilians) trying to help you with fight against aliens  (of course - policemans only in cities and close to cities, army - all around the globe, but only sometimes).

[Nikron]

it would be way easier, if i could bomb the aliens from orbital :wink:

I dont like that idea it sounds like some funny hunting for Alien Heads, who shoots most wins the game. You forgot that the Aliens are a Thread for the Whole world, much more advanced in technology and any Human Force must work together to figth them successfully its not some kind of competition to stop alien invasion its a battle for live and death i dont think any Goverment would accept such Company Competition in that Situation. But it would be possible to have some alien friendly human Groups (Sirius Cult) fighting against you with Guerillia tactics or there could be psionic slaves or something like that figthig for the Aliens.

No i mean would you if u live in china would you belive in some organization that is located in USA? and pay them lot bucks for doing something against alien threat while they are in USA??? or would u rather pay bucks for anti alien organization that is located in china?....

I don't mean that company helps you. I mean they do same thing as u do and if THEY attack your shot down UFO you get some cash back cuz u shot ufo down and if u attack theyr shot down ufos u pay some cash to them

They can be helpfull, but they would help you only so much that world wouln't collapse if u are located only in USA, they would have base in china/europa... and on harder leveles they would be mroe aggressive, that, means they won't EVER reach to certain sciense level to blast alien mothership...

AS about intel sharing, isn't phalanx keeping some intel to only himself, what would happen if world would know that aliens are attacking them to elimnatel them from earth? they, maybe think that aliens attack them to get some food or something.... And not sharing intel with other ally has happened in world..... as pps will get more honor/money/fame for shooting down UFOs theyrself

 If the battle would be on life and death military would be trying to stop them citys would have least some defending units and self-defence rookies Least importand houses would have guards, humans would be running around with Shotguns..... Cars would try to drive down aliens.... oh that would be fun....

[Noone]

I even wouldnt trust an organisation from USA if im Boss of that Organisation  

If i understood the green Intro Text right ,Army indeed tryed to stop Alien Invasion and failed, so Phalanx is forged out of worlds best elite Soldiers to find some Weaknesses or at least to aquire & researche some technology to get the Army a better chance. And if i remember right there are no more common Countrys its more than they have been fusioned to Supernations and now that theyr Armys are effortless they all spend what thy can to help Phalanx as a last chance for Human Kind. (Ok but then they could at least spend a little more Money   it took a several months before i even could build an Ufo Hangar  :roll: )

Well i see there has to be a good Story to explain the overall Situation, why should Phalanx be successfull where Millions over Millions Soldiers failed? Maybe Phalanx does some Kind of Guerillia-Figth and i think it does (Hidden Bases, no real Battle Missions) but then there has to be some kind of "News Feature". It would be very athmospheric to read or even see (movie sequences) that earths Armys is beaten more and more. There has to bee bigger Ufo-Formations flying around you better avoid attacking if you know whats good for you... and so on.

[Nikron]

well, if the U.S. army cant kill 3 aliens, then i eat my steel boots....

[Northen_Wolf]

well ur mean:( eating ur boots while many pp walk without boots in poor countryes!!!!!!!!! well anyway i belive U.S. can kill least 3 aliens (with nuking course)

well anyway: Earth was ATTACKED only once.... That means least SOME army should be ready to figth, pps would join with some self defence army or least buy a weapon(shotgun, sniper ) to home......

Phalanx isn't nothing at first, countryes would invest crazy amounts of $$$ into alien figthing teams, its obvious that phalanx isn't only alien killing team in world, army wouln't give up either, they would try to shoot UFOs down, if they have to then with gigantic bows ..... or least kill aliens when they land (if needed then nuke em).... Like animal who sees he can't run and hes facing death, he will fight and sometimes wins But i belive those supernations are just unions of countrys....

There should be around least 1 alien figthing team in each county, each country would fund other teams just in case their fails...

[Noone]

ok i agree, it looks like Phalanx is kind of backyard company. Some Country says "hey what about an Ufo defence squad", "hire some third class Soldiers and give em an aged military base and lets see what they can do"
That would explain the lack of Money and Equipment at startup. It woult also explain the miserable skills of the Soldiers.

In that case there sould be other Organisations around the world doing the same thing as Phalanx.

But i would find it really annoying if AI - Organisations shoot every Ufo down and kill every Alien before i have a chance to do so, they should be some Kind of supporting actor which are mentioned by the way in Storyline.  Or try to solve Missions you dont want to.

just about that what i ment... yeah they wouln't have much of a chanse but yeah they would only help u on easy levels but on ahrd u must send the transport ships straigth after the iterecptor
