Yuthar

Soviet types of: helicopters (Mi-6 or Mi-10) interceptors (Mig-25(cannon, 4 missiles), Mig-31 (cannon, 6 missiles) vehicles (BTR, BMP) weapons (AK-47, AK-74, SVD) Logic to civilians to run away from aliens to player forces (helicopter) to take cover there, not to run like idiots between the aliens and soldiers. Either greater budget(will be able to build more bases to provide necessary protection) or less events that lowers income which happens outside of new players zone of control. Each country has their own SAM forces, let them use it to help player. If they will shoot down UFO themselves, player may send mission to that place. Chance may be in % and depend on country tech and development stat. With player tech development, chance will go up. Like if I will develop laser SAM def, I will share it with the world, considering we all fighting alien invasion.

Don't forget to add Russian types of helicopters(Mi-6 or Mi-10), interceptors (Mig-25(cannon, 4 missiles), Mig-31 (cannon, 6 missiles)) and vehicles (BTR, BMP)

I would like to suggest creating a random map generator. Shouldn't be too hard taking in to account that maps are being build by titles. Plus implement forests area, where are no civilian or buildings, yet will all the difficulties that such area provides (low visibility, obstacle for firing e.t.c)
