The XCOM Project is activated during one of the heights of the Cold War, with Earth divided between the Western and Eastern blocs, both heavily armed and ready for WW3.

Work in progress - the game is still on development, so expect bugs, crashes, broken saves, etc. And please report any bugs to the specific Steam or Discord threads.

Includes:

• Seven new player factions to replace the vanilla ones: Strategic Defense Initiative, Operation RYaN, UN Secretariat, New World Order, Third Front, Gladio and SETI;
• The nations and the bilateral relationships have been reset to the year of 1983, with the corresponding flags and names;
• Starting armies increased and renamed, nuclear and space programs also reset to the 1980s;
• 100+ historical organizations: KGB, FEMA, NASA, Stasi, Spetsnaz, Pravda, TASS, MiG, Sukhoi, Tupolev and others;
• New KGB Officer trait, exclusive to RYaN faction's starting council member, allows to purchase/use the KGB orgs;
• New Communist trait for councillors with three levels, required to purchase/use Eastern orgs, gives several bonuses but it also causes loyalty drops;
