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?

Hmm - type of mission is VERY clearly stated both on the alert screen and the "alert bar" on top of geoscape view. It says either "Terror" or "Abduction".
