	Due to alternations from the mod, even a successful terror mission will still see X-COM suffer a negative score/political penalty, it is very unlikely for X-COM to gain a positive score out of a terror mission, with a best case scenario being a even score of around 0. Ergo terror missions put more pressure on X-COM to not only succeed here, but to succeed elsewhere to counteract the consequences of a terror mission.

	Terror missions are more dangerous in hardmode due to a wider range of unique terror forces, with the possibility of encountering multiple terror troops that would normally not work together in vanilla. Furthermore, failure to attend a terror mission will confer a larger negative score to X-COM than vanilla, around a negative ~~1000 to 1500~~ score. If X-COM cannot make an effort to attend a terror mission, expect major consequences to your score. (landing and aborting the mission will confer a similar negative score)		Terror missions are more dangerous in hardmode due to a wider range of unique terror forces, with the possibility of encountering multiple terror troops that would normally not work together in vanilla.

The aliens are guaranteed to construct an alien base within the same region as X-COM's first base within the first month. This is to guarantee that X-COM can assault an alien base and advance the tech tree.

	Unlike vanilla, base assaults tend to be larger in size and hold a larger defensive force. In addition to how early a player must assault one, expect a long operation. The usage of alloy ammunition is vitally required for success.		Unlike vanilla, base assaults tend to be larger in size and hold a larger defensive force.
