Quick feedback on Antarctica start
New run (Update 27). PX random squad, Hero difficulty, Make Pandorans Stronger checked. Antarctica start.

Antarctica: 2 Synedrion havens, The Marketplace, 5 exploration sites.
Australia: location of one of the initial exploration sites and The Symes Retreat. No havens in detection range. Base might be a prime candidate for a Pandoran attack.
Status after 2 weeks:
Initial mist zones are in Antarctica and South America. The next ones: Australia, Canada, East Africa, Central America.
Bases in order of activation: Antarctica, South America, Australia (free Manticore), Canada, Afghanistan (Satellite Uplink is being repaired).
3 Manticores, 2 FAR-M, Scarab, Aspida.
3 Fabrication Plants (+1 being built +1 being repaired), 2 Research Labs (+2 being built).
Completely explored: Antarctica, Australia, South America. One team is in Mexico, scan at base in Canada is at 50%.
A-team: 2 Assaults in Manticore in South America, Heavy and Sniper at base in Antarctica.
B-team: Scarab and Heavy in Manticore in Australia. Currently locked to Australia.
C-team: Aspida, Heavy, Sniper and Berserker.
Diplomacy status: Anu 10%, NJ 11%, Synedrion 7%.

7 (SEVEN) ambushes in 14 days. Are you serious? Is this RNG or to compensate for access to fewer resources when starting in Antarctica?
I was completely unprepared (no Medkits, no spare ammo) for the ambush at the first exploration site in Antarctica. I was mind controlled twice, ate one own grenade but the A-team salvaged 9 resource packs, 1 weapon and 1 armor.
In total I got a lot of resources: 38/46 resource packs, 4 weapons, 4 armors. But this led to a strange situation: after The Symes Retreat, 3 ambushes and a vehicle recovery my B-team was lvl. 6 while my A-team was still lvl. 2.

Haven defenses: Synedrion haven in South America (day 4, was destroyed, out of reach at this time), Synedrion haven in Antarctica (day 10).
Remote starts (Antarctica, Australia) seem to disrupt the normal haven defense flow: day 4, 8, 12, …

XP can be farmed at The Symes Retreat. I accidentally destroyed the objective with the Scarab (Scorpio VII). But the mission can be repeated.

Overall I think I’m in a good position.

*Serious bug*

I have the mission objective “To Antarctica“.
But there is no site!

Do you need a game save?

hmm, I guess you ran out of sites. It would be difficult to do something about it and in TFTV this mission is optional.

IIRC there once was a patch regarding missing LOTA mission sites: to recycle already explored sites.

EDIT:
Here is the relevant bug report: https://forums.snapshotgames.com/t/bug-scyther-mission-not-appear-on-map/12631
And this seems to be the bug fix:
1.10 Orryx - February 2 2021
Geoscape
* Players should no longer run out of sites to continue missions.

While I do have unexplored sites none of them are in Antarctica.

Possible bug:
At one point I didn’t get more Delirium doing missions in the Mist.
Delirium attacks still work.
In case this is relevant:
[TFTV @ 6/18/2023 9:03:19 AM] Void Omen 0 is in play
[TFTV @ 6/18/2023 9:03:19 AM] Void Omen 0 is in play
[TFTV @ 6/18/2023 9:03:19 AM] Void Omen 0 is in play
[TFTV @ 6/18/2023 9:03:19 AM] Void Omen 10 rolled at some point
[TFTV @ 6/18/2023 9:03:19 AM] Void Omen 13 rolled at some point
[TFTV @ 6/18/2023 9:03:19 AM] Void Omen 7 rolled at some point
[TFTV @ 6/18/2023 9:03:19 AM] Void Omen 5 rolled at some point
[TFTV @ 6/18/2023 9:03:19 AM] Void Omen 15 rolled at some point
[TFTV @ 6/18/2023 9:03:19 AM] Void Omen 6 rolled at some point
I can offer a game save with 2 immediately doable missions in the Mist (The Fourth Initiation and one Ancient Ruin).


*SPOILERS*

Defend the Cyclops:
The Chiron Smaragdus got one stomp off. The first turn it moved and then I had surrounded it.
Molecular Targeting is very strong.
The Fireworms are useless against Ancients …
After 6 turns the last Pandoran retreated. I didn’t lose any Hoplites.
Considering the fact that my troops at the site didn’t show up (Hint: something like “we are not in the vicinity of the Cyclops“) the preparation time of 8h is moot.

Finally Virophage Weapons are researchable. Time to go after the Behemoth.

Status on Feb 10:
6 bases, 4/6 Ancient sites.
6 Manticores, 2 Helioses, 3 Scarabs, 1 Aspida, 18 soldiers.
5 Fabrication Plants, 16 Research Labs, Cybernetics and Mutation Lab, 2 Food Productions, 6 Mist Repellers are being built.
The whole world is explored (but 2 rich exploration sites).
Haven losses (2 NJ and 3 Synedrion havens): 2 were unreachable, The Gift site, 1 I was a few minutes too late, 1 I could have defended but I didn’t want that team to get Delirium and I wanted an infested haven.
Diplomacy status: Anu 57%, NJ 23%, Synedrion 53%.
PX ending: Virophage Weapons and Yuggothian Entity are 13h each but I’m missing Citadel and Scylla.

Conclusion: an Antarctica start is very doable.

I read your reports and I think, Legendary player playing Hero, just move on to Etermes difficulty level :D
