			I reverted your edit, as ENGLISH.DAT uses "terrorise" and "fulfil" in that sentence. No biggie—it's positively simple to undo one edit compared to the years of links to "Base Defen'''s'''e"—but it might be worth asking yourself whether something's a direct quote before changing the spelling used.

	Hi Morgan. This is just a comment about your recent edit of the Alien Missions (TFTD) page. Terrori'''s'''e is actually the proper British spelling of the American terrori'''z'''e. There are quite a few regular contributors here who write British English so there will be a lot of these "misspellings". Us American English contributors will just have to learn to recognize and accept these cultural differences to prevent edit wars. The policy here is to just leave cultural spellings the way they are, unless you are absolutely sure. --[[User:Zombie\|Zombie]] ([[User talk:Zombie\|talk]]) 20:36, 27 May 2015 (EDT)		Hi Morgan.

			:There are several parts of TFTD that are in fact easier than EU. There is less psi; Tasoths do not have all ranks psi-active like Ethereals do, and those aliens that are psi-active aren't nearly as good at it (even on Superhuman with TFTD's increased difficulty scaling). Tentaculats do not appear in Terror Missions, and cannot kill tanks the way Chryssalids can. And while there are more near-indestructible enemies, both kinds do have a "kryptonite" weakness that will instantly destroy them when applied (drills usually one-shot Lobster Men, and GC-HE rounds and Sonic Pulsers do the same to Triscenes), while EU's Sectopods have no such weakness (the Heavy Laser still has a 50%+ chance of doing 0 damage against a Sectopod's front and side armour, and they hold up better against Blasters than anything besides Mutons).

			:Is the spawn database you reference on this site somewhere? I'd like to look at it myself.
