	~~Alien Level increases the power of the alien [[air]] and [[ground]] forces in a variety of ways. Specifically:~~
	* Make UFOs [[UFOs_(LWR)#UFO_Upgrades\|stronger]]
	* Allow [[Alien_Missions_(LWR)#Resource_Costs\|stronger UFO types to be fielded]] at lower [[Alien_Resources_(LWR)\|Alien Resource]] levels
	* Allows aliens to field [[Alien_Life_Forms_(LWR)\|stronger alien types]]
	* Grants alien ground forces [[Alien_Life_Forms_(LWR)\|increased stats and bonus perks]]
	* Increases the size of [[Alien_Deployment_(LWR)#Pods\|pods]]

	Aliens increase in level by gaining research. Every 50 alien research gained increased the Alien Level by 1. The 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'''~~


	~~== Bonus 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.
	~~It can be increased by the following events:~~
	* +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
	* -10 per successful assault on an [[Missions_(LWR)#Alien_Base_Assault\|Alien Base]]
	* -3-12 per Combat Patrol sent out by XCOM

	~~== 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

	~~== UFOs ==~~

==In General==

Alien Level increases the power of the alien [[air]] and [[ground]] forces in a variety of ways. Specifically:
* Make UFOs [[UFOs_(LWR)#UFO_Upgrades|stronger]]
* Allow [[Alien_Missions_(LWR)#Resource_Costs|stronger UFO types to be fielded]] at lower [[Alien_Resources_(LWR)|Alien Resource]] levels
* Allows aliens to field [[Alien_Life_Forms_(LWR)|stronger alien types]]
* Grants alien ground forces [[Alien_Life_Forms_(LWR)|increased stats and bonus perks]]
* Increases the size of [[Alien_Deployment_(LWR)#Pods|pods]]

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

== Bonus 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.
It can be increased by the following events:
* +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
* -10 per successful assault on an [[Missions_(LWR)#Alien_Base_Assault|Alien Base]]
* -3-12 per Combat Patrol sent out by XCOM

== 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

== Alien Progression ==

=== Air Forces ===

All UFOs gain a additional HP every Alien Level. Some UFOs will also gain upgraded weapons over time:
