Seeing Rene and Damien flawlessly mind control those Muton Elites at huge ranges is awesome. I wanna see those two psychic juggernauts absolutely wreck an alien base sometime
Finally caught up. Never thought this series will last this long, and there's still some way to go. Kudos for keeping it going, this long form stuff is pretty much the only gaming related content I enjoy, so thx! I'm always into stats and medals, and it occurs to me, that in terms of medals, the game most likely tracks mind controlling an enemy as a kill, and I wonder if the same goes for promotions. Lilleth recieved her 10th and final Merit Cross after the mission when she reached 100 kills - that's self-explanatory, you get 1 level for each 10 kills. But Rene "only" has 44 kills, and yet he just got his 7th Merit Cross. I noticed the same with Peder earlier, but I wasn't sure. So he gets it for something else. And I believe this is why he became Commander after Lilleth died, despite others potentially having more missions/kills. Funny thing is, it actually makes sense.
As for morale impact, it would suck if killing a mind controlled enemy made your own guys panic from morale loss One thing to try for morale training is healing the wounds of the damaged aliens. In some of the mods, using healing trains morale
🍿loaded (well, hot coffee ready) ... Droppin' love for Commander! ❤🔥

Interesting- did not pick up on the discrepancy between merit badges and kills there. I’ll try to remember to take a look at it in a future episode.

@@RobertBlair interesting - will try thanks
Would you use the fire extinguisher for me sometime just so I know what it looks like? :)
@@jim37569 ok will try to remember
Was it the plasma shotgun blast that wounded them, rather than a lucky pistol shot?
Not sure..
