In the original (Ufo: Enemy Unknown), greys and also Ethereals could use mind control. In fact the ethereals used mind control to control their submissive "mutant" race which were pretty mental and double hard barstards I remember dropping a blaster bomb on one of the mutants and he survived, went berserk and fired random shots and grenades everywhere taking out half my players Im a little shocked that we cant enter buildings, but I'm not surprised that there are limitations as obviously there has been major time/budget problems. Im just glad they have finished a game so we can look forward to a sequel if people buy it (and I'm sure they will) And yeah, mind control was really annoying in the original as alien bases tended to mean losing most of your team if you were lucky and all your team if you were unlucky :hmmm: , still there was upshots of mind control, doing mind control on a player you had lost to mind control was always funny as you could walk them up to the aliens and shoot them in the back of the head

Thanks for the info and the welcome

This is first time i have seen this board, looks like this is a similar game to UFO: Enemy Unknown (aka XCOM in North America) and more recently XCOM Apocalypse. I loved those games, especially the original, great fun My fondest memory was exploring a crashed UFO killing the Aliens inside, and then concluding that one must have run off to the nearby farmhouse. So I gathered 2 troops and threw High Explosive devices into the building set on a 2 turn delay. Ran my troops to a safe distance and 2 turns later saw the building a smoking mess, with a dead alien on the floor(with the accompanying "murrr" sound). Although buildings didnt collapse it was certainly great fun blowing pieces of them to bits, and in XCOM 3, you could demolish 6 storey buildings with a few explosives on the ground floor, which was even cooler. Just wondering if this sort of thing exists in this game! Thanks for any info in advance!
