Bases takes you into the Bases screen (see the Bases section of this manual for full details). Graphs takes you into the Graphs screen (see the Graphs section of this manual for full details).
X-COM 2 manual part 2 for PDF 3/4/97 5:02 PM Page 39
The Alien Sub Detected Window
Heading the general direction in which the Alien Sub is traveling. Speed the speed at which the Alien Sub is traveling (in knots). This window also gives you the option to either: Centre on Alien Sub-Time=5 Secs centers the Geoscape display on the Alien Subs current position and reduces the passage of time to 5 seconds. Click on this option if you intend to intercept the Alien Sub.
X-COM bases automatically detect any Alien Subs within range of their sonar. Later on in the game, you will be able to research and manufacture better sonar and tracking systems, based on captured alien technology. When an Alien Sub is detected, time is paused and a window titled Alien Sub-(number) Detected appears in the center of the Geoscape display. Every Alien Sub detected is given a consecutive number, for example, the 41st Alien Sub detected by X-COM will be named Alien Sub-41. The following data is also presented when an Alien Sub is detected: Size the size of the Alien Sub. Depth the approximate depth at which the Alien Sub is traveling.
Cancel hides the message window and leaves the Geoscape as it was before the Alien Sub was detected. Click on this option if you wish to take no action against the Alien Sub.
Note: While your Interceptor Subs (Barracudas) are capable of a high maximum speed, Alien Subs often travel faster. An Alien Sub may unwittingly change course or slow down, however, so it is good practice to attempt to intercept all Alien Subs detected.
The Launch Interception Window
To assign an X-COM Barracuda to attack an Alien Sub, you may either click on the Barracudas base or click on the Intercept Menu Option (in the top-right of the Geoscape screen), in which case the display will change to this:

To carry this out, click on the Minimize window icon in the top left of the Combat window. The Sub Icon (with a pictorial representation of the Sub plus its X-COM registration number) appears in the top left of the Geoscape, and time can be advanced or slowed as normal.
Shooting Down an Alien Sub
Click on the Standard Attack button. The message Alien Sub Crash Lands! appears if you successfully cause the Sub to crash land. The display automatically returns to the full screen Geoscape with a white cross marking the crash site.
Investigating Alien Crash Sites
The Alien Sub is now vulnerable to armed assault, so you should send out an X-COM squad to investigate it and to recover any available Alien Technology. Click on a base or use the Intercept Menu Option to select a Triton Sub Troop Transport Sub (just as you did previously with the Barracuda) and assign the Alien Sub crash site as the target. The Triton Sub takes off and makes its way to the Alien crash site.
When the Alien Sub gets over the water, click on the Sub Icon. The Combat window appears, ready for you to carry out your attack.
Note: You can also use the Minimize window icon to give other Interception Subs orders to attack the Alien Sub. There can be up to four Interception Craft attacking a single Alien Sub simultaneously, maximizing the chance of success against a larger Craft.
The Message Box The Message Box is in the bottom of the Combat window and displays messages from the pilot of the Interceptor to you. These messages either confirm your orders or inform you of what the Alien Sub is doing.
Note: Only Subs which contain Aquanauts or Coelacanth Tanks are allowed to intercept Crash Sites or landed Alien Subs.
When the Triton Sub arrives at the crash site, the Alien Sub Crash Recovery screen appears.
X-COM 2 manual part 2 for PDF 3/4/97 5:02 PM Page 45

Terror Sites

The aliens will attempt to terrorize civilian populations as part of their invasion plans. This must be prevented at all costs: a successful alien Terror Site in a funding area could cause its withdrawal from the X-COM project.
Click on OK to enter the Equip Squad screen. See the next chapter of this manual for full details on Alien Submarine Assaults.

Alien Raids on X-COM Bases
As the game progresses, the aliens will carry out missions to find X-COM floating bases. If the aliens discover the location of any of your bases, they will attempt to destroy them.

OTHER GEOSCAPE USES

As well as controlling the interception and investigation of Alien Subs, the Geoscape can be used for several other functions. Some of them are outlined below; the others are for you to discover!

Alien Bases

The aliens will attempt to build bases on the Earth. These are used for a variety of purposes from operating Alien Subs to infiltrating funding areas of influence. Alien bases may be detected by sending an Interception Craft to the suspected location of the base and selecting the Patrol option. You are advised to raid alien bases at the earliest opportunity, but make sure you have a very powerful squad before you try!

Alien Submarine Assaults

As well as investigating crashed Alien Subs, you can send a squad transport craft to an intact Alien Sub which has touched down. This is dangerous for your aquanauts, however, and is not advised unless you have a very powerful squad.
X-COM 2 manual part 2 for PDF 3/4/97 5:02 PM Page 46

ASSAULTS ON ALIEN CRAFT

THE EQUIP SQUAD SCREEN
X-COM Assault Missions take place when XCOM carry out any of the following: Investigate crashed Alien Sub sites; Assault Alien Subs at their landing sites; Intervene at alien terror sites; Defend X-COM bases against alien attack; or Attack alien bases. All missions, except defending X-COM bases, require you to use a transport Sub to get to your destination. When you begin the game, the only troop transport available is the Triton Sub, but as the game progresses you will be able to manufacture new craft. Before you begin any Assault Mission, you will be taken to the Equip Squad screen. Your aquanauts will automatically pick up some weapons, but you may wish to reequip them. In the top left of the Equip Squad Screen is the Rank icon. This displays the current rank of your aquanaut. Click on this icon and the Aquanaut Data screen appears. Use the information provided here to best equip your aquanaut. Click to exit the screen. Next to the Rank icon is the name of the currently selected aquanaut. At the top right of the screen are two arrows, allowing you to select the next, or the previous, aquanaut in your squad. At the center of the screen is an aquanaut, who might be dressed in the armor which you might have selected in the Equip Craft screen. This aquanaut is surrounded by the locations in which weapons can be carried. The items on the ground can be picked up and carried by the aquanaut.

Promotions

At the end of every mission, subject to their mission performance, aquanauts will be promoted. The rank to which the aquanaut is promoted is dependent on the following: Seaman each new recruit begins at this level. Able Seaman in order to be promoted to an Able Seaman, a Seaman must have had some combat experience. Ensign there is one Ensign per five aquanauts. If a position is vacant, the best available Able Seaman is promoted. Lieutenant there is one Lieutenant per 11 aquanauts. If a position is vacant, the best available Ensign is promoted. Commander there is one Captain per 23 aquanauts. If a position is vacant, the best available Lieutenant is promoted.
X-COM 2 manual part 2 for PDF 3/4/97 5:03 PM Page 55
Captain this is the supreme leader of XCOM forces there is only one Captain. If there are at least 30 aquanauts, the best available Commander will be promoted. It does not automatically follow that the higher the rank the better the aquanaut, although this will tend to be the case. The Effect of Rank When officers accompany a mission, the morale of all the aquanauts is boosted and they are less susceptible to panic. The higher the rank of the officer, the better the effect on the aquanauts morale.
Morale At the start of each mission each aquanauts morale starts at 100 percent. This decreases as an aquanaut is wounded or if fellow aquanauts are killed. It will recover if an aquanaut successfully kills aliens. The decline in morale is reduced by an aquanauts Bravery rating the more brave an aquanaut is, the less likely he/she is to panic. Panic When morale falls, the likelihood of panic increases. When an aquanaut panics one of three things can happen: A. The aquanaut freezes, and can do nothing for the current turn (i.e., he/she will have no Time Units). B. The aquanaut drops his/her weapon and runs away, searching for a hiding place. C. The aquanaut goes berserk and starts firing at random.
Note: If an officer is killed during a mission, it will have a worse effect on morale than if a rookie had been killed.
Mission Experience When aquanauts return from a mission, their abilities might be increased. For a skill to benefit from experience, it must be used during combat as much as possible. For example, if an aquanaut uses a harpoon many times, then accuracy is likely to improve. Reactions, Accuracy, Time Units, Throwing Accuracy, Molecular Control, Health, Strength, Fitness and Bravery all benefit from mission experience.

The Equip Craft screen allows you to configure individual interception craft to suit your requirements. The subs name is at the top of the screen. Below this is a display of the Damage and Fuel status useful to establish how long the sub will be in repair or refuelling. Zero percent damage and 100 percent fuel mean that the sub is fully operational. Below the Damage and Fuel status are the weapon configuration buttons, marked with numbers. These do not appear on the Equip Craft screen for the Triton Sub transport, since it does not have combat capability. Craft such as the Barracuda have two weapon bays, marked 1 and 2. Alongside the numbered buttons are the names of the loaded weapons and a pair of figures: Ammo the number of rounds of the weapon loaded onto the Sub. Max the maximum number of rounds that may be carried by the Sub. A small icon representing the weapon is shown to each side of the craft.
