Also known as Score Levels
Alien Technology Levels
Score
- Total Score influences X-Com's funding from the Government, checked after each week.
X-Com's score is what determines the technological progress of aliens.
- Tactical Missions score influences what the aliens carry on the battlescape, checked after each mission.
- UFO Craft Shot Down score influences what devices the UFOs will use, checked at the start of a new day.
however, X-Com's score does not determine:
- the UFO type, mission style, schedule, or quantity that appear in Mega-Primus.
- the alien life-forms or quantity present on the battlescape. or inside alien dimension buildings.
- the alien technology given to organisations, or how many Building Security are present inside their buildings when raided.

1 Stun Grenades are used exclusively by enemies at Tech Level 2. This is probably a design oversight.
2 This is likely a mistake. Note that the enemy may still pick up another weapon during the mission.
