Talk:Terror Mission

Is it possible to mind control civilians and use them as scouts/ decoys?

Yes, indeed, you can! But...

You have to remember that civilians lost to mind control OR unconciousness count a grand total of 0 points on the end-of-mission-tally. Basically you've lost the positive or negative score. Not a bad compromise, mind you.

Although you might be better off mind controlling an alien - or spending another month of training (for a 0 - 16 point * (current psi skill / 100) bonus) to get to a point where you can actually use psionics to earn more skill and eventually total domination of your enemies.

(Hey, I didn't realise this was an eraseable black/white board-like system for brainstorming and the like... learn something new every day don't you?)

0-16? I've never seen 0 before... except maybe in already maxed out soldiers. You sure about that one?

BTW, unless I'm SORELY mistaken, each successful mind control attempt or other psi attack helps gain you psi skill. Like shooting and accuracy stat.
