==Alien Tech Levels==
''Also known as '''Score Levels'''''<br>
 
=Alien Technology Levels=
As X-COM's score advances the aliens will bring more advanced weapons/equipment to arm both their soldiers and craft. Below is a table that shows the progression of alien technology, indicating the points required for each item on the different difficulty levels.
==Score==
 
* '''Total Score''' influences X-Com's funding from the Government, checked after each week.<br>
For tactical equipment, the score checked is your '''Tactical Missions''' score (counted at the beginning of each mission). I have confirmed that lowering your total tactical score below the current threshold will downgrade the alien's technology level. At score 28100, fought aliens with teleporters. Beat the stage, took loot, started researching teleporters. New tactical score 29500. ... Took a bunch of rookies, Loaded them up with entropy and brainsucker launchers (high points but low cash value), and had some officers execute them and retreat. Massive drop in points to 27800. The next alien mission, they didn't have teleporters any more.
X-Com's <u>score</u> is what determines the technological progress of aliens.
 
* '''Tactical Missions''' score influences what the aliens carry on the battlescape, checked after each mission.
For vehicle equipment, the score checked is your '''UFO Shot Down''' score (counted each new day).
* '''UFO Craft Shot Down''' score influences what devices the UFOs will use, checked at the start of a new day.
however, X-Com's score does not determine:
* the UFO type, mission style, schedule, or quantity that appear in Mega-Primus.
* the alien life-forms or quantity present on the battlescape. or inside alien dimension buildings.
* the alien technology given to organisations, or how many Building Security are present inside their buildings when raided.

Human [[Organizations]] will also upgrade their technology as the game progresses. However, this is not tied to X-com's score. Instead, all organizations will upgrade their "Tech Level" by 1 at the beginning of each week after the first, up to a maximum of 12. In addition, an organization that gets infiltrated by the Aliens will get +3 Tech Level.
All [[Organizations]] will upgrade their "Tech Level" by +1 at the beginning of each week, however, any 100% infiltrated organisation is granted an immediate +3 over their current level. The maximum level is +12.

Also known as Score Levels

Alien Technology Levels

Score

  • Total Score influences X-Com's funding from the Government, checked after each week.

X-Com's score is what determines the technological progress of aliens.

  • Tactical Missions score influences what the aliens carry on the battlescape, checked after each mission.
  • UFO Craft Shot Down score influences what devices the UFOs will use, checked at the start of a new day.

however, X-Com's score does not determine:

  • the UFO type, mission style, schedule, or quantity that appear in Mega-Primus.
  • the alien life-forms or quantity present on the battlescape. or inside alien dimension buildings.
  • the alien technology given to organisations, or how many Building Security are present inside their buildings when raided.

1 Stun Grenades are used exclusively by enemies at Tech Level 2. This is probably a design oversight.

2 This is likely a mistake. Note that the enemy may still pick up another weapon during the mission.
