There are a whole lot of "Ticker" variables that seem to influence the rate of alien progress. Nevertheless certain events seem to boost that. Without seeing the source code itself it will be hard to tell how the system works exactly, though. | |

Suffice to say, the aliens will get more powerful over time no matter what. Your particular objectives may (or may not) give them a large power boost, but they'll go up on their own through many other means, the principle among them being the simple passage of time. | |
