Abductions Map List
Notes
- An Alien Abductions mission is any battle where the aliens of most any type will be abducting the citizens of a city and conducting experiments on them, although you won't have to worry about civilians.
- Alien Abductions missions only appear to occur in nations where you do not have satellite coverage. Thus, once you have satellite coverage over every remaining nation, you will no longer get anymore of these missions.
- You'll always be offered a choice between 3 countries (unless there are less countries than that number without a satellite), each offering a different reward if the mission.
- There is no UFO crash or UFO landing involved, so you will not be recovering a lot of artifacts from this type of battle other than Weapon Fragments or intact weapons from captured aliens.
- You should expect aliens to be spread throughout the entire map and sweep it accordingly.
- To ABORT an Abduction mission you have to press 'Esc' and select "Abort Mission and return to HQ." There is no requirement to move to a marked field by the Skyranger.
