Total Mind Control Bug
« on: September 15, 2013, 04:55:55 pm »
See attached save.  Play forward into the AI turn, and Morgan Biochemical gets mind controlled.  The nearby units that are now in Morgan territory also get mind controlled along with the base. 

Further this action only costs the AI a low amount of Energy (~150) which doesn't seem right

To add to this: Mind Worms also get mind controlled.  Definately seems like a bug even if "total mind control" was supposed to have some effect on surrounding squares (which I don't believe it should).

I remember in a demo multiplayer game to mindcontrol a base and all units+adjacent units. We were playing with the Consciousness.

I've seen it many times and I'm sure it's not a bug. Mind control affects all 8 tiles adjacent to the base tile. I've tested it and noticed no exceptions - native life, battle ogres, alien artifacts, air units - every kind of unit defects. To my great surprise, this includes even probe teams!  :o

Richard Baxton piloted his Recon Rover into a fungal vortex and held off four waves of mind worms, saving an entire colony. We immediately purchased his identity manifests and repackaged him into the Recon Rover Rick character with a multi-tiered media campaign: televids, touchbooks, holos, psi-tours? the works. People need heroes. They don't need to know how he died clawing his eyes out, screaming for mercy. The real story would just hurt sales, and dampen the spirits of our customers.
