==Alien Levels and Alien Research==

Aliens increase in level by gaining research. Every 50 alien research gained increases the Alien Level by 1.

Aliens gain 1 research every day; this ensures a baseline progression for the aliens that can't be halted or stopped short of ending the campaign. That said, aliens can also gain '''Bonus Research''' via a variety of other methods, so under-performing at the strategic or tactical level can accelerate their progression.

The formula for alien Research is: ''Research Points'' = ''Bonus Research'' + ''Days Passed''

The formula for alien Level is: ''Alien Level'' = INT(1 + ''Alien Research''/50)

Aliens start at '''Level 1''' and can progress to '''Level 15'''

== Increasing and Decreasing Alien Research ==

Bonus Research starts at 0. It is always clamped between [0.1 * Days Passed] and [0.5 * Days Passed]. Thus, it will always grow by at least 10% of the days passed and can never exceed 50% of the days passed.

=== Increasing Alien Research ===

* +2 per month per country under alien control
* +5 for a successful [[Alien_Missions_(LWR)#Abduction|abduction mission]] (DW modified)
* +20 for successful raid on [[Missions_(LWR)#XCOM_Base_Defence|XCOM HQ]]
* +2 for a successful [[Alien_Missions_(LWR)#Research|research mission]] by a landed [[UFOs_(LWR)#Scout|Scout]] (DW modified) (increases by 10% per month)
* +3 for a successful [[Alien_Missions_(LWR)#Research|research mission]] by a landed [[UFOs_(LWR)#Raider|Raider]] (DW modified) (increases by 10% per month)
* +4 for a successful [[Alien_Missions_(LWR)#Research|research mission]] by a landed [[UFOs_(LWR)#Abductor|Abductor]] (DW modified) (increases by 10% per month)
* +5 for a successful [[Alien_Missions_(LWR)#Research|research mission]] by a landed [[UFOs_(LWR)#Terror_Ship|Terror Ship]] (DW modified) (increases by 10% per month)
* +1 per lost XCOM soldier on a failed mission (killed or left behind) (DW modified)
* +50 per incorrect accusation of a country of harboring the EXALT base

=== Decreasing Alien Research ===

* -10 per successful assault on an [[Missions_(LWR)#Alien_Base_Assault|Alien Base]]
* -3-12 per Combat Patrol sent out by XCOM

==Effects of Alien Level==

=== Troop Strength ===

Alien Level's most notable and significant effect is to increase the strength of alien ground forces. Specifically:
* Higher levels allows stronger aliens types to be fielded
* Higher levels increases that stats of alien ground forces
* Higher levels make alien leaders stronger

See [[Alien_Life_Forms_(LWR)|Alien Life Forms]] for more information on the effect of Alien Level on alien ground forces.

=== Decreased Alien Resource Consumption ===

* If Alien Level is 1-7, alien missions cost <span style="color:green">100%</span> of their base required resources.
* If Alien Level is 8-14, alien missions cost <span style="color:orange">72%</span> of required resources.
* If Alien Level is 15+, alien missions cost <span style="color:red">40%</span> of required resources.

=== Pod Size ===

The number of aliens allowed in each pod is directly dependent upon current research points:

* Small (Alien Level 1+): 2-4 aliens per pod
* Medium (Alien Level 3+): 3-6 aliens per pod
* Large (Alien Level 6+): 4-8 aliens per pod

=== Meld Rewards ===

Alien Level helps determine the rewards obtained from meld canisters.
<div style="max-width: 940px;">
Meld Canister Amount = 0.3 * Alien Resources (Min: 33%) * (1 + Alien Level/6) * Difficulty Modifier[1, 1.3, 1.6, 2.0]
</div>

The amount of meld per canister is set to a minimum of 10 and is affected by Dynamic War.

=== UFO Upgrades ===
All UFOs gain a additional HP every Alien Level. Some UFOs will also gain upgraded weapons over time:
<div style="max-width: 600px;">
