Through some research (such as How does enemy progression work?) I have gotten the vague idea that harder enemy types show up based on how much time has elapsed in your game.

Are exact, or even nearly-exact values for the various unit types known?

For example, do Mutons reliably start showing up after 60 days have passed? Etc.

  • Note that the second answer is the correct one on that question. Aliens show up in specific months, and the main alien on the UFO changes based on where in the story you are. To avoid your question being a duplicate, are you asking about the expansion?
