General Discussion

I removed the old discussion pertaining to mind controlling as it has been resolved through MikeTheRed's experience testing. Below you will find some text from a page called "Terror attacks". I'm deleting that page as that one obviously meant to be called "Terror Mission" *ahem*. Anyhow, I didn't want to delete the page outright as some of the info could/might be used here. Feel free to incorporate as much/little of this text as you want into the article. Anyone can remove this comment. --Zombie 17:44, 12 March 2006 (PST)

Lovely debriefing."...the crater where the gas station is used to be" made me laugh.--X-COM:Turcocalypse 11:01, 22 April 2006 (PDT)

Terror attack text

Upon noticing the threat posed to them by X-Com, aliens will scout out desirable cities, then attack the city using a large team of foot soldiers and the terror weapons associated with them.

The mission involves various smaller UFOs, which search for potential targets. When an area has been selected, a Terror Ship will drop off a strike force at a city, then take off directly into space.

Aliens have little to gain from carrying out these terror missions, but they know X-Com has much to lose. The purpose of these missions is to discredit X-Com. If a terror mission goes well for the aliens, nearby countries that fund X-Com are likely to lower funding, and pull out of the project altogether of an Alien Infiltration mission succeeds shortly afterwards.

The best way to deal with terror attacks is to shoot down the Terror Ship before it can land. When this is done, the aliens have to start the whole mission again, starting with the scouting UFOs.
