following:
Income
The main source of X-COM’s income is the
companies funding the project from separate
zones around the globe. Funding will vary as
the game progresses and will depend on such
things as:
• X-COM’s success in intercepting Alien
Subs in the vicinity of a funding com-
pany (i.e., the company’s zone): contri-
bution levels will fall if Alien Subs are not
intercepted.
• X-COM’s success in recovering,
researching and producing alien items:
funding will rise if X-COM is seen to be
doing well.
• internal events such as change of
government, civil war or recession.
• alien influence: funding will stop if a
company signs a pact with the aliens.
Additional income may be generated by the
sale of alien items recovered from crashed
subs.
Expenditure
X-COM expenditure will be of several types.
As well as purchasing/recruiting costs, there
are:
• transfer costs.
• building costs for new bases or base
pods.
• production costs for items manufactured
by X-COM technicians.
Maintenance
Maintenance costs are incurred on a regular
basis. These include:
• wages for personnel.
• maintaining base facilities.
• maintaining, refueling and repairing
Subs.
Balance
The balance is the amount of money available
to X-COM after Expenditure and Maintenance
have been subtracted from the Income.
