What do I need for the bonus? Communication to every continent and a tower? Do additional towers besides the first give additional bonuses (besides the supplies).

According to the ingame description you need to

  • contact all resistance groups on that continent
  • build a relay on that continent (even if it's your starting continent)

You can't gain the same bonus twice.

    You have to build more than one relay for some continents. If you look at the description/indicator on the map you'll see a number of bars (showing how many regions are in the continent and how many of those you have contacted) and a number of dots (showing the same for relays). The Asia/Russia/China/India/etc continent (I dunno what it's called in-game off the top of my head) in my game requires two relays, for example.

    @DMA57361 I would sincerely hope the "Russia/China/India continent" is called "Asia", lol

    It's also worth mentioning that the regional bonuses are randomized each game, not fixed like in XCOM:EU
