Are all swarming missions in xcom long war terror missions? - Man in  Camouflage Jacket Lying on Green Grass Field

When I see a mission marked as swarming in xcom long war, I usually think I have to save civilians and chrysallids are there. But once in a while I find that is not the case and there are no civilians to save and so the grenade laden engineer and rocketeer I bought is overkill for this mission. How do I figure out which ones are the real terror missions?



Best Answer

Terror missions should be marked as "Terror attack in x" on your Geoscape. They additionally have an icon on the Geoscape that looks like a few skyscrapers on fire, compared to other missions which have different icons.
