Civ/Civilization II/Scenarios/X-COM: Assault

X-COM: Assault is a scenario in Civilization II that focuses on the combat side of the game. In this game, you control one of two forces in an effort to wipe out the other in 300 turns. It was designed to be a single-player scenario, with the player controlling the X-COM forces against the numbers disadvantage.

Faction Overview

edit

X-COM

edit

The X-COM start with three cities: The Judge, The Jury, and The Executioner. These cities provide minimal food, shields, or trade, due to the unimproved terrain and the poor city locations for growth, so new units cannot be built in reasonable time. All three cities also have Training Centers (Barracks), allowing any new units to be veteran. There is a landing zone outside of The Judge, and after 20 turns, 3 reinforcements, 2 Alpha Squads, a Heavy Section, and a B.A.U. will land there, so it is imperative to safeguard the landing zone from the alien forces.

The X-COM run under a fundamentalism, with initially 60% towards luxuries and 40% towards taxes. Research is not a factor in this scenario, as you are researching a dead-end advance that does not give you any advantage of any kind.

Aliens

edit

The aliens also run under a fundamentalist government, and start with eight cities. Unlike the X-COM, the aliens have very good shield production capacity, and thus can create new units to reinforce their numbers advantage. Alien units are able to trade unit-for-unit against the X-COM, with many forces ready to attack. Each alien city start off with Bunkers (City Walls), Training Centers (Barracks), and Food Storages (Granary).
