PCGamer has a guide up.
Apparently, if you get full satellite coverage of a continent, you get the continent bonus in addition to your starting bonus.

Also, Neonivek, is there any nation, gender, or colorscheme you'd like your guy to have?  (Guile hair is obvious due to your devotion to the original, so Rk. Neo Nivek will be the only rookie permitted to have one)

Talking about schemes for characters, I can't wait a mod to dress all my marines as men in black.

I really want that one as a "when". I want "grubs", and "virgin woman" to turn into a dragon. and monkey children to suddenly sprout wings. And I want the Dwarven Mutant Academy to only gain their powers upon reaching puberty. I also have a whole host of odd creatures that only make sense if I divide them into children and adults.

Also, tadpoles.

This actually makes no sense. The game unlocks at midnight, in precisely 3 days.

What the hell? Midnight? They better change that, and they better change that for EARLIER, not LATER.

Yeah on the NA end of things I keep hearing that it unlocks late tonight, or at noon tomorrow, and also in a few spots not until 9 pm tomorrow.... it's all very confusing and starting to annoy me.

Says it'll unlock in approx. 6 hours for me, so somewhat late at night.

4am GMT if you are able to use a VPN in the states to trick Steam.

It unlocks at midnight for me. Pity. I had misread the Pacific time zone, so I was thinking that it would unlock at 6 PM. :(

This is how I see the release times:

Europe, UK, etc.: 00:00 on the 12th of October. That makes it midnight the night before. So on the 11th of October, if you stay up till midnight, the game will unlock then.

That... other place, where games are released early: 00:00 on the 9th, Eastern time. So that means in about 4 hours 30 minutes from the time of my posting, I think. Tonight, basically.

This isn't official, this is just me looking at the countdown thing on the store page from my Steam client and the american store page.

I don't suppose someone here would be willing to trade x-com for a copy of Nuclear Dawn and a PS2 beta Key :P

On the other hand can't wait for this, probably gonna have to search for some money, but I'm sure I got something for it.
