I think Enemy Unknown was 2012. Enemy Within was definitely 2013.
I'm annoyed because Japan just bailed on the council. And AFTER I saved Fukuoka!!! Sheesh.
NO ONE appreciates all the hard work of killing aliens.
BTW, as a brief side note, delaying the outsider shard research keeps the game from advancing too much - you'll get those annoying chrysalis spider dudes, the first muton and sectoid mechs, but - so far - nothing else.
That lets you develop a LOT of tech - gene implants, MEC upgrades, plasma weapons, carapace armor, etc.
