Sectoid Commander (EU2012)

Ciryon: Mind Control duration change

[[Image:Sectoid Commander 2 (EU2012).png|right|300px|Sectoid Commander]]

The Sectoid Commander makes a non-interactive appearance in the tutorial mission if you have it enabled, but your first proper Sectoid Commander encounter will be in the [[Storyline Missions (EU2012)#Alien Base Assault|Alien Base]]. After that, they will be at the helm of [[UFOs (EU2012)|UFOs]] right up until you assault the [[Overseer (EU2012)|Overseer UFO]], at which point they are permanently replaced by [[Ethereal (EU2012)|Ethereals]].
These aliens have the ability to mind control your soldiers and after the alien base assault they will always deploy in groups of 2 or 3. Allowing them to live throughout the alien turn can be an extremely dangerous (and deadly) experience due to their psionic powers.

In the [[XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)|Enemy Within]] DLC: once 'unlocked' in the Alien Base Assault, they will still make regular appearances, with one (often also with a regular [[Sectoid (EU2012)|Sectoid]]) or two combined with a [[Mechtoid (EU2012)|Mechtoid]], even after the [[Psi Link (EU2012)|Ethereal Device]] is captured.

'''Notes'''
* On the [[XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)|Enemy Within DLC]], Sectoid Commanders can also Mind Merge with [[Mechtoid (EU2012)|Mechtoids]] giving them a 6 HP shield that reduces all incoming damage by 50%. If the Commander is killed, the Mechtoid's shield will be deactivated and it will receive 3 damage points.
* Mechtoids with Sectoid Commanders will appear in July (vanilla) or October (Marathon).
*[[Suppression (EU2012)|Suppressing]] or using Disabling Shot on these aliens is very likely to make them use Mind Control on your soldiers, so be aware!
*On the other hand, leaving a soldier exposed to them can be a lot less dangerous since they'll be more likely to fire their Plasma Pistols instead at the soldier than mind controlling him/her.
*[[S.H.I.V. (EU2012)|S.H.I.V.s]] can be one of the best units against these aliens since they can't be mind controlled by them.
*If killed during a successful mission a [[Sectoid Commander Corpse (EU2012)|Sectoid Commander Corpse]] will be recovered.
** On the [[XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)|Enemy Within DLC]], researching a Sectoid Commander corpse will unlock the [[Gene Mods (EU2012)#Neural Feedback|Neural Feedback]] gene mod and the [[Mimic Beacon (EU2012)|Mimic Beacon]].
*If [[Arc Thrower (EU2012)|captured]] during a mission and [[Interrogate Sectoid Commander (EU2012)|interrogated]] afterwards they will provide a [[Research (EU2012)#Research Credits|reduction]] in the time required for Psionic research.
** Capturing a Sectoid Commander will also recover intact its Plasma Pistol, which can be used later by your troops after it's researched, as well as its Alien Grenade, which can be used immediately without any research required.
==Trivia==
*A Sectoid Commander may be seen on the Tutorial mission where it is mind controlling the German solder.
*In the Game Over cutscene, the Council Representative (mind controlled by a Sectoid Commander) announces the shutdown of XCOM while a [[Thin Man (EU2012)|Thin Man]] grasps his shoulder. This may be a reference to earlier games, where it is implied that withdrawn countries are thusly easily infiltrated, then Mind Control techniques are used on their leaders and populace.

Ciryon:

Hello

Playing on normal, during the june month, I am on a terror mission with not one but 2 cyberdisks...what about the limit of 1 on the first month ?

[[User:Ciryon|Ciryon]] ([[User talk:Ciryon|talk]]) 14:11, 24 September 2014 (EDT)Ciryon

: It might help if you clarify which game you are referring to. The original, the 2012 remake or its expansions? Still, if you are in June, you should be well past the first month. [[User:NKF|NKF]] ([[User talk:NKF|talk]]) 02:10, 25 September 2014 (EDT)

Hello

I thought I was on a special talk page about the cyberdisks in Enemy Unknown (2012) ^^.

So I play Enemy Unknown (2012) with all the DLC including Enemy Within and this was a terror mission in june, the first month where cyberdisks appear and in the wiki for EW it is supposed to be limited by one unit only and they were two of them during the mission, that's the story sir :).

Medals (EU2012)

2014-09-15T10:53:04Z

Ciryon:

[[File:Medals (EU2012).png|right|Medals]]
* Medals can now be assigned to [[Soldiers (EU2012)|soldiers]] on the [[XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)|Enemy Within DLC]]. They appear as a new option in the [[Barracks (EU2012)|Barracks]] menu.
* Medals will be received upon completing certain objectives on [[missions (EU2012)|missions]]. There is a cap on the number of medals that can be present on the entire pool of live soldiers.
* The name of the medals can be changed and there is a choice between 2 options that will increase the soldier's stats upon receiving it.
* There is a limit of the number of medals that can be issued. However, if soldiers with medals are killed the medal will be available again for awards 2 missions afterwards.
** Soldiers who are dismissed (rather than killed) take their medals with them, effectively removing those medals from your pool forever.
* Will bonus from medals does not affect psi combat.
** Thus, if your soldiers are immune to panic due to Defender's Medals or Neural Damping, you can consider ignoring medal effects that improve will.
* If using savescumming and [[Second_Wave_(EU2012)#Second_Wave_Options|Hidden Potential]] to get the most out of leveling, keep in mind that some of the medal powers will change the stats of your soldiers.

'''Names and Types of Medals'''
[[File:Urban Combat Badge (EU2012).png|right|64px|Urban Combat Badge]]
* '''Urban Combat Badge'''
**[[File:Urban Combat Badge 1 (EU2012).png|32px]] ''+5 Defense when in cover''.
**[[File:Urban Combat Badge 2 (EU2012).png|32px]] ''+5 Aim against enemies in full cover''.

[[File:Defender's Medal (EU2012).png|right|64px|Defender's Medal]]

** Maximum of 3 medals issued. Each medal is unlocked after 3 missions take place? Can be given after a successful mission where a soldier is killed or critically injured. Sometimes, you can get it when a soldier is injured but not critically.
 
[[File:International Service Cross (EU2012).png|right|64px|International Service Cross]]
* '''International Service Cross'''
** [[File:International Service Cross 1 (EU2012).png|32px]] ''+2 Will per different nationality in the squad''.

***Bonus is dependent upon when soldier is awarded and each mission awarded soldier participates in. If awarded soldier only participates in two missions out of X missions, the soldier will only receive +1 Aim & Will on the second mission. The awarded soldier must participate in eleven missions without any soldier deaths to receive maximum benefit (+10 Aim & Will).
***Bonus can take effect on the second mission after being awarded, and does not take into account missions completed prior to award.

Armor (EU2012)

2014-09-15T05:42:01Z

Ciryon: /* Armor Types */

Armor is used by XCOM [[Soldiers (EU2012)|soldiers]] to provide protection against enemy weapons fire and environmental hazards, along with providing unique abilities to the unit wearing it. All soldiers start wearing Body Armor and [[Research (EU2012)|research]]/[[Engineering (EU2012)|manufacturing]] are required to gain access to more advanced armor types. For the equivalent protection worn by [[MEC Trooper (EU2012)|MEC Troopers]] on the [[XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)|Enemy Within DLC]] see [[MEC Suit (EU2012)|MEC Suits]].
