@gregkamp Yeah, same feeling here. The situation where the mind control ray does have some power is when you are capturing new territories with a small force and there is a zombie or two left there after battle.
The way I understand it, once battle is finished you capture the territory, next in your non-combat the remaining zombie in your new territory can be pushed out and into enemy territory.
But I feel like this is still by far the weakest tech, seems like it should be cooler than this, maybe in testing it was too powerful and they nurfed it or something.
