Key

• TU: The number of Time Units the alien has per turn.
• Sta: Stamina (or Energy).
• He: Health.
• Br: Bravery.
• Rea: Reactions.
• FA: Firing Accuracy.
• TA: Throwing Accuracy.
• Str: Strength
• PST: Psionic Strength.
• PSK: Psionic Skill.
• Fr, L/R, Re, Un: Front, Left/Right, Rear and Under armor.
• EnR: Energy Recharge. This number represents how fast a unit will recover Energy lost due to movement.
• VPS: The number of Victory Points X-COM will get for killing that alien.
• Agg: Aggression is a number between 0 and 2. The larger the value, the more aggressive the alien will be. High ranking aliens usually prefer to stay concealed, rather than get involved in a raging fire-fight..
• Mel: (Also known as CCBA or Close Combat Base Accuracy). This number acts as the accuracy for hand-to-hand combat attacks.
• Int: Intelligence of the alien ranked from 2-8. This number correponds to the number of turns the alien will remember the location of your troops.
• St, Kn: Standing, Kneeling height.

Calculating Statistics

Statistic Percentage Health 0% Bravery 0% Throwing Accuracy 0% Energy Recharge 0% Victory Points 0% Aggression 0% Intelligence 0% Standing 0% Kneeling Height 0% Time Units 4% Stamina/Energy 4% Reactions 6% Firing Accuracy 6%* Strength 2% Psionic Strength 4% Psionic Skill 4% Melee (aka CCBA) 4% NOTE: Statistics with 0 percentage are constant and therefore do not change with difficulty level

To find a statistic which increases by a constant amount, the game adjusts the core value by a percentage which is dependent upon a skill level "multiplier". Generally, the Beginner skill level numbers match the core group exactly so no modification is necessary. This multiplier (referred to as SLM) is the same value for the difficulty stored in IGLOB.DAT (if patched) They are reproduced to the right. Difficulty SLM Beginner 0 Experienced 1 Veteran 2 Genius 3 Superhuman 4 Equation This equation gives the statistic for any of the statistics to the left. The core values are in the table above. Credit goes to Zombie (the user, not the unit) for discovery of this (and about everything on this page). Skill Value = INT(Core Value * (100 + (Percentage * SLM)) / 100) Firing Accuracy* Beginner level aliens have a firing accuracy one-half the core value. Experienced through Superhuman skill levels are modified by a 6% change per level increase. Armor Beginner level aliens have an armor rating of one-half the core value. Higher skill levels just receive the core value with no percentage adjustment.

Other Notes

• Zombie stats are not listed in the executable where the normal aliens are situated. Not only that, but their stats do not change as the skill level increases. For more information on this oddity, see the Editing Alien Stats heading on this page.
• Civilian stats are also constants and do not change.
• Chryssalids which are spawned in a mission by the game have stats modified in the normal way. However, Chryssalids which hatch from Zombies have all their stats set to their core, regardless of current difficulty level.
