Don't Alien Retaliations depend on who you shot down. So in August if you shoot down lots of Snakemen Ships they will retaliate not the Ethereals who have 40% chance to be the race on the Retalation?
- Retaliations are done in two ways. The aliens can be generated to appear on retaliation scouting missions, with the race determined by the probabilities in these tables. This means any race can start scouting for X-Com bases to attack even if you haven't shot down any UFOs of that particular race. They still have to find your base to attack it though.
- The other method is the instant base attack. Every time you shoot down a UFO, the game has a 2% chance to instantly retaliate against the interceptor's home base and will send a battleship straight to the base without having to scout for it. In this scenario, the race is determined by the crew of the UFO you shot down.
- I think it was determined that researching the Martian Solution (or was it Cydonia or Bust?) may generate a base attack as well. -NKF 17:21, 19 June 2012 (EDT)
