The grenade explodes, destroying some of the alien artifacts. The explosion shockwave disorients and/or kills most of the aliens. The rest of the team rushes the UFO and captures the stunned aliens. Unfortunately, they die in mid-flight.
Welcome to EXALT HQ, Commander. In the event of an alien assault on our base, they will enter through the Hangars and Access Lift. Our base is designed so that the Aliens can only attack through one entry point if they detect our base.
Current Research: Battle Scanner(7 days left)The GeoscapeWe have some downtime before the next UFO contact. Now what?
We have $100 worth of funds. EXALT-3 will be out of action until he recovers from almost dying. Atremis and EXALT-3 were promoted to Squaddie. We are in need of soldiers, since most of them got wiped out stepping off the Skyranger.
We have 9 alien corpses we can sell. GUNS are only destroyed in explosions, and ammo is free. We probably won't need to buy more guns. GRENADES(other than the flares) are used up when thrown, so we'll be going through them a lot. Grenades can be PRIMED or THROWN. Primed grenades never go off in your hand, only when you drop them. This can be used to get revenge on enemies that kill squadmates with melee. Sounds useless, but wait and see....
The Auto-Cannon is automatic but slightly weaker, and the Heavy Cannon is semiautomatic and powerful. Both of them can fire Armor Piercing, High Explosive, or Incendiary rounds. AP rounds are not recommended. Use HE or IN rounds.
EXALT Operations are avalible!
Doing a EXALT operation will usually require you to send operatives out into the field. PROPAGANDA: Spread misinformation and cause panic. This will hurt X-COM financially, because their funding can be reduced if this is successful.
You can send a maximum of 4 Covert Operatives.SABOTAGE: Steal money from X-COM.
RESEARCH HACK: Slow down X-COM research so they don't kick your ass with Power Armor and Plasma Rifles.
COUNTER COVERT OPERATION: Infiltrate X-COM and steal data from them.
You can send a maximum of TWO Covert Operatives. You will have to extract them a few days later.EXALT TERROR MISSION: Massacre civilians and face off against X-COM.
This can also cause panic and reduce X-COM funding, but it is riskier than propaganda.RETALIATION: Send a plane to search for an X-COM Base.
X-COM BASE ASSAULT: Attack X-COM's base.
Extremely risky. Cannot perform without discovering location of X-COM Base.INFILTRATION: Trick a country into resigning from the X-COM Project, cutting all funding.
Insufficient resources to perform
