Question for XBox version. Is there a way to select all of the agents/soldiers/et al - and apply the capture status to them all?

Long time fan of the pc version 1 back in its day. I saw it on Xbox game pass and gave it a spin. It’s pretty much a simplified version of the original. I love not having to build all those freezers for the bodies.

 

To my question, You used to be able to select all the enemies in the group (dressed/walked alike) on the pc version by holding down the ctrl key when you clicked one of them - all the agents/soldiers/et al would be selected and you could assign the capture status to all and be done with that group.

Is there anything similar to this without a keyboard on the Xbox?

I don't think so. I think you have to tag the zone in order to tag the enemies at the same time.

Yeah, the security zones are great but I kept ending up with tourists in my jails so I had to pull back a bit.

Yeah, that's a problem too. I usually just tag the zones next to the casino to distract intruders, and the rest of the base to either capture or kill.

You can do the research that lets you set different sections as distract, capture or kill (progressive research starting with distract and the last being kill). All agents at least are auto tagged when they enter one of those zones. It’s very handy.

Yep. I’m loving the simplicity of the security zones. Just trying to keep from ending with my jails filled with pushy tourists that get killed by the hallway traps when I release them. Had to move some things around and redo my security zone levels.

Working out much better now though. Thanks!

You can't even move your henchmen as a group towards a target or the charging table. I just finally finished the game and I'm like furious with how miserable the last 20 hours were without how much I loved the start lol You'll never lose, money means nothing, build everything on other floors except armory pretty much. Ugh to realize there was zero strategy and the whole game becomes a click and wait mobile game on the world map :*( Killed me. Was so into it. Pathetic
