When you have the ability to take controll of
mind worms, and a large group of mindworms apear close to one of your cities, the units will try to take controll over them. This atempt will ofcource fail. The problem is when a large stack of mind worms occupy one space. If my units did not try to take controll of the mind worm, all the worms would be killed. No I have to attack the stack one time for each unit in the stack. This takes time and a lot of units (over 10 some times) is there a way to disable takeover in an attack? If not I would consider this a bug. It should not be harder to kill stacks of mind worms becouse you have the ability to try to controll them.

What are you talking about??? From what I've seen, when you attack a stack, you either capture them all or kill them all. If you're attacking with air units, that's another matter. Make sure you use ground units if you expect collateral damage.

It only happends when mind worms appear as plantes respons to polution. You get the message that the worms are controlled by a higher force or something, and that the atempt to capture them fail, and you only kill one of the worms in the stack.
