	Due to the constant reinforcements and Exalt's desire to rush the encoder and transmitter, an ideal squad for this mission should involve units that can deal a lot of damage (especially to flanked units) and manage drop-in overwatch. This is because if you fail to deal enough damage, the reinforcements may quickly result in you facing insurmountable numbers of Exalt, forcing you to retreat or die.

The missions start with a small number of Exalt, of up to two different classes of Exalt soldiers. Approaching or activating relays has no effect on triggering reinforcements.

	The first set of Exalt reinforcements now arrive on turn 4 -> 8 (on pain -> normal) and will reinforce again every 3 turns. Each time Exalt sends in reinforcements there will be an additional 2 units, meaning that they very quickly become unstoppable if you take too long.

	Some UFO missions will involve a landing. Whether or not this will be the case can often be determined by looking at the UFO's altitude (NOE altitude often means it will land). If you allow the UFO to land it will either generate a terror mission, an abduction, or simply a landing site. It may actually be in your interests to ''let'' NOE-flying UFOs land, as (a) it will save your interceptor craft some damage, and (b) it will net you a lot more salvage, including intact flight computers and power sources. On the other hand, it may be on a bombing mission. Successfully assaulting a landed UFO will also stop the alien mission from being completed.		Some UFO missions will involve a landing.

Terror missions will start with 1 civilian dead if the aliens at the terror site are given 2 hours before XCOM arrives. Additionally, another civilian will be found dead for every hour after that, these deaths are mentioned in the log as well (press L ingame).

	Terror missions will automatically generate 30 panic in the target country, and 8 panic across the same continent. However, each civilian saved will decrease the panic generated by the mission by 2 in the target country and 0.6 across the continent. Additionally, each civilian saved in a country ~~that has NOT left the Council of Nations~~ will award 20 credits. Both the panic alterations and bonus credits are modified by campaign length (2.0/1.0/0.5/0.25). The credit reward increases by 10% each month.

A Terror Site which is not stopped by XCOM causes the target country to immediately leave the Council of Nations and generates 20 continental panic (modified by Campaign Length).

	Terror Sites are generated by a UFO, ~~so you can prevent~~ a terror ~~mission by shooting down~~ the ~~incoming UFO before it can create the terror site~~. Each time the AL increases, the rate that terror missions appear increases by 10% (stacking geometrically).		Terror Sites are generated by a very large assault carrier UFO landing, preceded by a large terror ship scouting the target country. Each time the AL increases, the rate that terror missions appear increases by 10% (stacking geometrically).

	All ~~pods~~ on terror missions will have a guaranteed leader ~~and~~ the leader ~~levels are increased by 1 during terror missions~~.		All leader levels are increased by 1 during terror missions, and every pod on terror missions will have a guaranteed leader: if a leader fails to spawn due to rng (check [[Alien Life Forms (LWR)\|Alien Leaders]]), the game will force it to be a level 1 leader regardless.
