You guys realize this IS the game where you get to invade the aliens?  I mean your base is a UFO and everything...

Yes, that's when I realised how large its radius actually is.

Gas grenades make a pretty big boom too.

 This chrysalids cocoon is some terrible crap. I didn't encounter them on veteran, but now I consider just skip retaliation so I don't have to deal with it.

Cool, but wouldn't this likely lead to tongues having a '[SPEACH]' tag, and thus via necromancy we would have nearly unkillable reanimated tongues following necromancers spamming 'it is sad but not unexpected'?

I am learning how Andromedrons make the best mind control targets. They are beefy, I think when they die and return they're still under control (not sure), they have AOE acid...

Just now in a main story mission, I charged my andromedron forward through a ton of chryssalids, each one only dealing 1 damage or missing. When it got to the objective, seven chryssalids popped out and dealt like 3 damage to it, then the Andromedron wiped out the chryssalids in one turn with acid bomb :D

Screenshot incoming...

After you kill it the first time and the suit revives, it's considered a new enemy, so it's no longer under mind control :(

The acid pools it leaves everywhere do damage its allies though, so if you put it in a group when it dies it turns into an acid grenade pretty much.

I just tried mind controlling Andromedon myself, too. It was really good bullet sponge, because of all the armour. It also has grenades as ability.

You Know how Berserkers tend to occasionally attack their allies if you haven't been detected yet? well, once i saw a brawl between a berserker and an Andromedon. All of my guys were hiding on top of a nearby building, watching the show. You could almost hear them placing bets. Eventually a stray trooper spotted us and ruined the fun, though if we didn't get detected i don't know what would have happened.

How to beat the final mission is pretty simple.

I had that concern too the first time I tried, but pulled off a win anyway. What do you have to work with?
