First playthrough: Where are you going to build and why?
Lets Recap the Choices:

North America: 'Air and Space'
All aircraft and aircraft weapons cost 50 per cent less to purchase, build and maintain.
South America: 'We Have Ways'
Autopsies and interrogations are completed instantly.
Europe: 'Expert Knowledge'
Laboratories and Workshops cost 50 per cent less to build and maintain.
Africa: 'All In'
Monthly X-Com funding increases by 50 per cent.
Asia: 'Future Combat'
All projects in the Foundry and Officer Training School cost 50 per cent less.

My thoughts are North America to be able to field several interceptors as quickly as possible. This will allow me to respond to multiple events in order to keep the worldwide panic down. I think if we have troops and ships to move them we should be able to get more alien tech and bodies to study or sell.

What do you think guys?

I'm thinking maybe South America or Europe for my first playthrough; not sure which would help more.

Being focused on alien units, I see South America's bonus useful for when you encounter that next alien unit type. If you can kill/capture it, the next time you see a live one you will be better able to fight it. So perhaps that will lessen the dread of the tougher units mid and late-game.

Thinking Europe due to my affinity to science and faster being able to understanding the threat and gearing up the squad.

Europe. When i have more advanced weapons i will be able to suppy enough corpses for autopsy, and will need less interceptors.

Or Asia.

Both of above are most End Game oriented IMO.

Asia & Europe. 1. Complete Squads 2. Research of alloys and energy weaponry.

Interrogations are necessary, but nothing like a good research overall. Will miss the Air component though.

Good reasons for those two continents. Back on North America, I feel that with air being half off I can more agressively attack UFOs and defend satellites. Anyone think the Money or other bonuses would be better off? Reasons why?

My first time through the game, I expect to be experimenting with the systems and finding a playstyle (or playstyles) that works for me. For this reason, I am leaning towards starting in Africa, as the raw increase in fuding will give me flexibility, allowing me to funnel the extra money wherever it is needed at the time. That being said, future playthroughs I will likely start in one of the other, more specialized, locations.

Edit: An additional thought: The extra funding may also allow you to take more missions with non-monetary rewards, increasing your number of scientists, engineers, and whatever other rewards may not have been revealed. Although I suppose the same could be said for the three starting locations that give various discounts.

Tbh not sure where to start, i might go with Africa as Swimjade just to be able to be more flexiable.

Tho every place has its benefits and downsides, Africa seams more of a start boost where some of the others seams more like very late game.

ofc have to play at least 4 playtroughs so you try them all ^_^

Tbh, Africa looks like more of late game boost, when your sat coverage is quite heavy. I probably will start in Europe, and will probably will go USA -> SA to get its continent bonus, will be fast with only 2 countries representing it.

Starting Asia and rushing a full squad of Skeleton armor. Taking the high ground early for the bonus to movement, hp, defense, aim, and view.

Sat coverage does exist if you get the whole contenient, Im not sure if its other than monetary though.
