Base invasions

[jos]

What i would like to know is: does anyone (j'ordos, maybe?) know how

to increase the frequency of attacks on x-com bases by hostile corporations

and the aliens themselves?

I really enjoy defending against base attacks, but they are an extremely

rare event and happen, maybe once or twice in the whole game on superhuman,

even if the aliens control 4 or 5 organisations.

 

Is there a simple offset hack we could do to increase the rate?

Make organizations hostile to you: destroy their buildings, don't pay any settlement offers from them. Don't shoot down UFOs heading for your bases.

 

If you only get 2-3 on superhuman then you are being (un)lucky. Two days ago I had 3 UFOs on the same raid heading for one of my bases and I had to fight 3 separate base defense missions.

 

 

PS - If you want to know the specific mission of an UFO incursion check this UFO mission recognition table. Alien subversion missions are what you are looking for: if the aliens target one of your bases they will drop aliens into it.

A base attack is just another of the random events that can happen during the day. It's random, so if you get attacked and then reload from an earlier cityscape save, some other event will happen.

 

Don't let organizations get infiltrated, just let them get hostile. The more hostile organizations, the more likely you'll have base attacks. At least, that should increase the frequency.

Good tips - thanks guys. But even when hostile, corporations just

don't attack enough, dammit! Maybe they're restricted by cashflow

problems?

And the aliens very rarely drop on an

xcom base - i'm not sure if it's becuase they can't locate it or the AI

just doesn't often run 'infiltration' missions....
