[gregor_y]

Hey i got question about Mind control/Panic attacke is there a way to mod it so it will be weaker? like for example insted of normal cost of TU i think 25 too use 50 is required?

 

I got fanmade versions of ufo/tftd and i did get owned on secound mission in ufo by mc i lost 5 men...now every mission with those grey bastards ends in my retreat or almost total defeat they just spam mc too much its imposible to win even with load/save...
