    I have no advice for you, but on my first playthrough (just finished yesterday) I only had two female soldiers spawn in the entire game. I thought that seemed mighty strange.

    Half of my squad has been female for the past game. Didn't notice it until a few hours ago. Seems like all of this is totally random.

    I just want some people from Brazil, but i never got a single ONE of them, to the point i don't even think they exist.

    there are Brazilians in the game, I got 2 in my squad.

    It would be weird if there were no Brazilians, since Brazil is on the XCOM council. Also, for curiosity's sake, what are the names of your brazilian soldiers?

    Oh gee, I have no idea what their original names were... I'm renaming everyone on my squad after actors, so one is Rodrigo Santoro and the other is Sonia Braga.

    Haha, that's cool. I just wanted to know if they got brazilian names right, but looking at what they have done for the other contries, i doubt they were going to let a mistake slide that easily.

    @ I wouldn't worry about it too much, we do have a fairly small population and military, and historically our military efforts have been small, but effective. eg Canadian basic training is on par with US Army Ranger training. So see it all fits...

    Also it's one hell of a random ass game.

    I have two female Canadian snipers, and they kick ass. Only soldiers from NA that I have currently. I had one American and one Mexican, but they both died from a grenade blast. At the same time. Poor bastards.

    Perhaps I am different but i always enjoyed games, and media in general where people come together to accomplish things. I don't see it as American and the rest of the world, I see it as Human vs Alien, we put our differences aside, perhaps just this once, to defend earth.

    PS: I had the same problem with woman, 11 hours in and only 5 and who knows how many men. There are also 40+ country's your dudes can be from.

    I thought there were 36. Any idea what they are? I've heard some interesting choices are in there, like Scotland (I guess separatists won out), Iran, etc.

    I somehow wound up with five soldiers from India. Two of those were mission rewards.
