Africa is not a bad starting continent because you get a 30% funding increase every month

The thing you need to be careful about Classic is enemy spawn locations
if you walk into an alien spawn that triggers a cutscne, they will IMMEDIATELY get into cover.
And your poor scout will most likely be exposed and shot down the next alien turn

What you do is expand carefully. if they must come, let them come to you

if they come to you and it triggers a cutcene, they will immediately get into cover, but their turn will END right away.
They won't be attacking you the same turn.

The only exception to this rule are Chrysalids. Instead of going into cover, they will advance towards you.

It can’t treat one group differently from another.” Malcolm Gladwell
