	The majority of [[Missions (EU2012)\|missions]] and other Council events are created by the game's A.I. and will appear without previous warning.

	~~Storyline missions don't have any time requirements and can be completed at~~ the ~~player's discretion. However, the [[Storyline (EU2012)#Alien Base\|Alien Base]] assault can alter the frequency of Abductions, Terror Sites and UFO~~ missions.		For specific details on how the AI generates missions, see:
			* [[Missions (EU2012)#Mission Frequency\|Mission Frequency]]
	~~'''Before Alien Base Mission'''~~		* [[UFOs (EU2012)#UFO Missions\|UFO Missions]]
	* 1st mission - Tutorial or regular [[Alien Abductions (EU2012)\|Alien Abductions]] mission in March.		* [[Alien Deployment (EU2012)\|Alien Deployment]]
	* 2 each month. - Abduction		* [[EXALT_(EU2012)#EXALT_Cells\|EXALT Cells]]
	* 1 [[Alien Terror (EU2012)\|Terror Site]] every even month (April, ~~June, etc.)~~		* [[The Council (EU2012)\|
	* 1 [[Missions (EU2012)#~~Council Missions~~\|~~Council]]~~ Mission ~~every month, between the 13th and the 27th, can be [[Slingshot DLC (EU2012)\|Slingshot]] campaign (EU only), if the Tutorial isn't activated.~~
	* 1 Council [[Requests (EU2012)\|Request]] each 20 days + 7 random days. Each Request has a requirement and if it isn't met no request is generated (common in the early months). Each request has a 20 days limit to be completed before it disappears.
	** On the Enemy Within DLC, there are two monthly time windows, between the 5th and 15th days and between the 17th and 27th.
	** There can be only 1 Council Mission each month. On each window there will be either a Mission or Request (25% chance for 2 Requests, 50% for Mission and a Request, 25% for a Request/Mission). The Slingshot and [[~~Progeny~~ (EU2012)\|~~Progeny]] missions can fill either window.~~
	* 1 detected UFO ~~each month, either crashed or landed.~~
	** 50% chance for a 2nd detected UFO during April to June (March to July with [[Second Wave (EU2012)\|Second Wave]]~~'s Marathon).~~

	~~''Special Missions''~~
	* ~~On the Enemy Within DLC, Slingshot's~~ [[~~Friends in Low Places~~ (EU2012)\|~~Friends In Low Places]] mission happens on day 51, or around April 20th. [[Confounding Light (EU2012)\|Confounding Light~~]] ~~mission happens 25 days after (around May 15th) and [[Gangplank (EU2012)\|Gangplank]] 2 days afterwards.~~
	* Also in EW, the Portent mission of the Progeny campaign is the Council mission in the late April window.
	* [[~~EXALT~~ (EU2012)\|EXALT]] ~~on May, on the 12th to 24th (Easy and Normal) and 6th to 24th (Classic and Impossible).~~

	~~'''After Alien Base Mission'''~~
	* ~~1 monthly Abduction mission, if there are 3+ countries in the~~ [[The Council (EU2012)\|~~Council]] without a satellite.~~
	* 1 Terror Site every month.
	* 1 Council Mission every month, between the 13th and the 27th, can be Slingshot campaign (EU only).
	* 1 Council Request each 20 days.
	** On EW, there are two monthly time windows, between the 5th and 15th days and between the 17th and 27th.
	** There can be only 1 Council Mission each month. On each window there will be either a Mission or Request (25% chance for 2 Requests, 50% for Mission and a Request, 25% for a Request/Mission). The Slingshot and Progeny missions can fill either window.
	* 1 detected UFO each month, either crashed or landed.
	** 50% chance for a 2nd detected UFO each month.
	** Random Mission - if the 2nd UFO wasn't added, the game may add an additional Abductions, Terror or Council mission. The AI will choose randomly between the mission types according to the following criteria: Terror and Council missions can only be chosen if they haven't been already scheduled for the month; in the case of Abductions, they are only chosen if there are 3 or more countries without satellites. If none of the criteria is met, there won't be an additional mission added.

	~~''Special Missions''~~
	* [[Base Defense (EU2012)\|Base Defense]] - 2 to 3 weeks after XCOM assaults the Alien Base (EW DLC)
	** Progeny campaign [[ (EU2012)\| ]]Deluge and [[ (EU2012)\| ]]Furies missions - both take place the month after Base Defense and building the Psionic Lab. Furies takes place 7 days (168 hours) after Deluge.
	* EXALT Elites replace regulars in July.
