- +2 per month per country under alien control
- +20 for successful raid on XCOM HQ
- +1 for a non-air-raiding UFO that takes no damage on a mission
- 50% of change to +1 for a non-air-raiding UFO that takes less than 50% damage on a mission
- +4 for a successful research mission by a landed Scout
- +7 for a successful research mission by a landed Raider
- +10 for a successful research mission by a landed Abductor
- +15 for a successful research mission by a landed Terror Ship
- +4 per lost XCOM soldier on a failed mission (killed or left behind)
- -15 per successful assault on an Alien Base
