Alien Research (Long War)
Revision as of 04:07, 8 April 2015 by Hawkeye2777 (talk | contribs) (Update research gained through UFO research missions (b15b))
Some events grant aliens research points. Research points have two distinct effects:
- Make UFOs stronger
- Allows aliens rank stronger aliens in field
The current formula for resource points is: Research Points = Maximum(Days Passed, (Days Passed + Bonus Research))
Bonus Research starts at -90, and can be increased by the following events:
- +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
- +1 (50% chance) for a non-air-raiding UFO that takes less than 50% damage on a mission
- +3 for a successful research mission by a landed Scout
- +5 for a successful research mission by a landed Raider
- +8 for a successful research mission by a landed Abductor
- +10 for a successful research mission by a landed Terror Ship
- +1 per lost XCOM soldier on a failed mission (killed or left behind)
- -15 per successful assault on an Alien Base
- +50 per incorrect accusation of a country of harboring the EXALT base
