Panic in Long War is a smooth scale from 0-100, not the 5-point scale as seen in EU2012. For more details, on how panic relates to council members, see The Council (Long War).

Mission Panic values

• Air raid / Bombing run: +8 (Can be reduced by damaging the UFO, escaped UFO panic *also* applies)
• Terror mission: +2 per civilian in country, +1 per civilian across continent (stacks, the country where the terror mission takes place is actually gaining +3 panic per dead civilian)

• Escaped ufo: +2 (reduced by any damage dealt)

Country Defection

At the end of the month, a country may leave the council if their panic is too high. Note that aliens can run an infiltration mission to cause a country to leave immediately.

• Defection threshold: >95 panic
• Chance of defection, no sats nearby: current panic level (ie, at least 95%)
• Chance of defection, one or more sat on same continent: 90%
• Chance of defection, country has sat: 50%

Satellite Panic reduction

Once per month, satellites can help control panic:

• 50% chance of -5 panic if Panic>95
• 10% chance of -5 panic if Panic>80
• 0% chance of reduction if panic<80
