Mexico seems nice also could be a real help on higher difficulty (500 cash)Д¬anada's bonus LAB+Workshop-> next to each other. US starting bonus seems nice (Cheyenne Mountains). South Africa +1 HP for everyone helps a lot earlier, later is not a big thing, as they will walk with 15-25 HPs anyway. So from day 2 I start with a guy that is capable of launching 4 Battlescanners and 3 Smoke grenades + each support grenade I add to her is good for 3 throws.ДЇrance: -40% intel scan could be a nice thing, but in this case rush for 3 or maybe even 4 exalt missions, if possible (3 is doable). Grenadier, Smoke and mirrors, Smoke grenade, Battlescanner, packmaster, bombard.

I trained my bonus Soldier to be a full support lady. Japan-Master Sargent-> especially with we are legion second wave option (and commander's choice). This strategy may not be a good idea on Impossible. That is if You are playing on a lower difficulty. Roscomos is a big help there, if You are a bit lucky and can manage well, by June You could start with 2 nice continent bonuses. With 4 uplinks You can cover the 2 continents for a nice 970(or so) income (EU +20% ). Perhaps most importantly, starting with elevators built means you can immediately assign each facility type (satellite, power, research, engineering) to a quadrant of the ant farm, resulting in very good adjacency bonuses. You save about $500 in the early game due to free elevators and reduced excavation costs. With all of this in mind, I choose USA's Cheyenne Mountain. Canada's 'Advanced Preparations' is especially annoying - why would you want your first lab and your first workshop right next to each other?

* (Not nearly as mainstream) that strategic bonuses which let you start with facilities already built are suboptimal because they don't let you choose how to lay out your base. Starting in Asia or Europe does not allow this kind of synergy. In other words, with each satellite facility you build, you can cover an entire new continent. You can cover your whole continent with two adjacent Uplinks, then cover South America with your third Uplink, then either add an Uplink to cover the other 3-country continent, or a Nexus to cover a 4-country continent. * (Somewhat mainstream belief) In terms of positioning, North American and Africa are good continents to start on, because they both have 3 countries. * (Very mainstream belief) When playing on lower difficulties, strategic starting bonuses are much more valuable than tactical bonuses, since tactical deficiencies can always be made up for by good play.
