Panavia10 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Aliens keep destroying new bases before they are even built in month 3-4 of a normal difficulty game, not happy with this, how are we supposed to be able to expand if we have no ability to defend or staff new bases while they are under construction, major game flaw needs attention. Perhaps we should be given an option to station soldiers at base sites while they are being built? Seems logical to have soldiers protect the construction crew anyway. I have no issue with having my bases attacked, I just dislike that they can come and take $500,000 from me and I cant do a thing about it. Thankyou for your time Panavia10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 In theory the chances of this happening should be very small, as the aliens choose which base to attack based on the amount of time it has been in play. But I don't disagree - it would be nice if there was a grace period of, say, 15 days before a base could be attacked (15 days is enough time to finish construction and build a living quarters to house a garrison).

SoulFilcher Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 It happened to me when I tried to build a base in Australia after it had been lost for over a year. Basically it was UFO free land and I was the invader, so I didn't really care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 That's very unusual... Panavia, if you'd like to adjust the game so base attacks don't happen until later on, you can adjust one file. If you open up "AM_Baseattack.xml" in a text editor or Excel (I would suggest using Excel if you've got it), you can adjust when base attacks start happening by adjusting the "Ticker" score for each type of UFO and adjust which UFOs can do base attacks (for example, deleting the corvette entry will make corvettes incapable of attacking bases).
