Also invoked for the default armor (or lack thereof): the light gear is explained as giving your troops greater mobility since no known armor can stop alien weaponry. Even the earliest-researched Jackal Armour allows your troops to survive what would be fatal to an unarmoured soldier, albeit badly hurt. Armchair Military: Seen on the title screen. Always on Duty: No days off for the Xenonauts! Although when the aliens are not attacking, they often sit in the base for days on end, doing nothing productive. Alternate History: The timeline diverged in 1958 when first contact was made in Iceland. All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Aliens can attack bases, just like in the original X-Com. All There in the Manual: The details of the Iceland Incident are given in the prequel novella that comes with the game, including the foundation of the Xenonauts. Alien Autopsy: Carried out automatically, and when completed, they give a small damage bonus against analyzed alien species. Alien Abduction: One possible alien activity, as in the original X-Com. The Hunter Scout Car IS the Ferret armoured car, even being referred to as "ferret" in the game's code.

AKA47: Weapon names are generic, while aircraft include the "F-17 Condor", "MiG-32 Foxtrot" and "CH-48". Action Survivor/ Badass Bystander: Unlike X-COM, some of the civilians are armed, which can lead to things such as a police officer suppressing an alien with his pistol, or a farmer killing an alien with his shotgun. When the region's funding drops to zero, it stops supporting the player and surrenders to the aliens. Successfully protecting the regions improves their relation and funding. 100% Adoration Rating/ 0% Approval Rating: Each of the world's ten regions has a separate relation rating to the Xenonauts. Among the changes will be shifting to 3D and air combat becoming turn-based. Following an alien attack on CENTRAL, the surviving Xenonauts have relocated to the backup site ATLAS Base, where they must fight in the air, on the ground and with Field Agents hidden within the Earth's nations to resist the aliens and complete ENDGAME before the aliens can trick the superpowers into global thermonuclear war. It is not a direct sequel to the first game but an Alternate Universe, set in an Alternate History present day where decades of alien interference have prevented the end of the Cold War. #XENONAUTS 2 ALIENS FREE#
