Knock out all the easy achievementsĤ) Africa - Impossible (can't use tutorial on this difficulty). Davosġ) Europe - Start with the Tutorial on easy and choose Europe. Or, go to mission control and look at the globe. NOTE: If you can't remember which starting continents you chose, you can see your base on the map in the situation room. America - Autopsies and Interrogations are completed instantly. I recommend you reserve the 2 best starting locations for beating the game on Ironman Classic and the Impossible difficulty achievements.Įach starting location has different bonuses.ġ) Africa - Monthly XCOM funding increased by 30%.Ģ) Asia - All projects in The Foundry and the Officer Training School cost 50% less.ģ) Europe - Labs and Workshops cost 50% less to build and maintain.Ĥ) North America - All aircraft and aircraft weapons cost 50% less to purchase, build and maintain.ĥ) S. For Classic and Impossible, it usually takes me 25-30 missions before I can finish the game. Although you can finish it in 15 missions if you are dedicated. On Easy difficulty, I usually complete the game in 20-25 missions. You must complete 5 playthroughs, beginning to end, with each starting location for this achievement.
