	~~On higher~~ difficulty levels, a larger number of aliens will appear on each mission, and their [[Alien Stats\|stats]] will be higher. The Aliens' UFOs will have an higher firing rate. Also, the [[Scoring\|score-based]] condition to have X-COM terminated is different. There may be other effects ~~of difficulty: For example, the USG states that on lower levels~~, ~~the chance of aliens abandoning a mission ("putting their plans on hold and reevalulate") is greater if you keep shooting down their scouts~~.		The difficulty level chosen has several effects, described below.

	=== ~~Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment System~~ ===		==Geoscape Effects==

			===[[UFO Interception]]===

			Intercepting [[UFOs]] becomes substantially harder on higher difficulties. The cycle time of all UFO weapons is reduced by an average 3 frames per difficulty level (they fire more often), resulting in greater total damage to [[craft]] that enter a UFO's weapon range. Additionally, the time before a UFO begins to outrun a slower X-Com craft (such as an [[Interceptor]]) is reduced by 30 frames per difficulty level, making it harder to crash-land or destroy UFOs before they flee.

			===[[Alien Retaliation]]===

			While most [[Alien Missions]] remain unchanged across the difficulty levels, the aliens become far more proactive about destroying X-Com as difficulty increases. The chance per successful interception for the aliens to [[Alien Retaliation\|retaliate]] increases by 4% per difficulty level (from 4% on Beginner to 20% on Superhuman!). Furthermore, the aliens will launch automatic Retaliation missions one month earlier per difficulty level.

	~~Quoting from Julian Gollop's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v~~=~~LP7VjbuNEzg&t~~=~~30m53s~~] ~~at 'Classic Games Postmortem~~ - ~~XCOM: UFO Defense' at Game Developers Conference 2013~~:		=== Scoring ===
			If the funding nations [[Scoring\|score]] X-COM badly for two consecutive months, they can decide to terminate the organization. The minimum bad score trigger is affected by difficulty:

	"The way this worked was very simple. Basically, if you did very well on the last three previous tactical missions and you absolutely trounced the aliens, the aliens would ramp up their own technology level and deployments more quickly. If, on the other hand, conversely you did very badly, the aliens wouldn't throw in some extra stuff. So it kinda adjusted the difficulty as you went along."		{\| {{StdCenterTable}} width="30%"
