Since the struggle is hugh maybe we can help each other with some handy startegies: 1. As all shield protected units, before health is deminsihed by hits the whole shield have to be destroied.. So if there is a wolf pack of small annoying aliens what i try to do is get all shiled gone by different troops and finish them allwith 1 of my strong tanks, its a wasteof fire power to hit 2hp shield with a 200hp blue dragon attack hit..  2. They have spawnpoints which you can occupy (no own troop deploymemt), this is often the only way toget a rest and get to teh objective... I will add lateron a pica as example but you can see whether they can spawn by the blue sparking eye in the spawnpoint. 3. Some base dont have air defence.. Get them by air. 4. Lots of small troops have only 2hex attack range.. Get them as often by 3 hex units. 5. Infantery? Normally dont use them but maybe they are handy? etc feel free to give your observations below so we alllearn |

Thats a very nice overview on how to defeat aliens. I had very hard time defeating the Queen and eventually I did. I am now on Epsilon-11 mission. From the experience I have gained from pervious battles, I find that the end game missions literrally requires players to purchase units with real currency. Heres my thoughts:
1) Blue and Red dragons without Zeus could help you pass the missions but wont or hardly get you 3 stars
2) Battleship such as Shark and Carrier play an important role
3) Best to upgrade fully in components on every major unit (tanks, Planes and Artillery)
4) Just like what Singlemalt mentioned, forget about infantry
5) Defenses such as Turrets and Missile Silo are pretty handy and help you defend your base a little longer, as some mission, you have only 5 units to put to fight againts like 20-30 Aliens with your base intact.
6) Best to upgrade the planes such as Eagle and bombers, they are useful againts horde of aliens and handy againt alien towers
7) As Singlemalt mentioned, there is a 2 hex attack range unit (the two legged star wars like machine) which is best to be attacked by 3 hex attack range unit. However, other that that all units and towers are 3 hex attack range and mostly equipped with anti-air feature.
8) Avoid spending too much time conquering bases. Penetrate through and achieve the objectives as quickly as possible because the Aliens spawn faster than you could possibly handle. Use Cards to help your course.
9) Buy and use the cards, they are very useful throughout the alien missions (eg Nuke, Ion Cannon, Paratroops, Oil, Mobility, Supply & Assistance)
10) Lastly, Unicorn is very handy in Alien mission as it has one of the highest damage againt the Alien tower. It has HE Ammo (Max Lv +66%) againt towers and defense. it will save you lots of trouble using 3-5 units just to tear the Alien Tower shield down.

Thnx for this great list of tips! Since you Are way more advanced in the game can you tell me: (only need lvl9 in alpha) 1. Is it correct alpha dont give you:1. New units 2.new reward each hour (bank), 3.new arena, 4.new general. 5. New pvp ? Some respons at your list: 1: i bought mammoth, but have no plans to buy more units. I was hoping we could unlock those units after alpha, epsilon...atm i fully upgrade shield and buy components with gold. I still hope this will be enough in the. End. 3: most gold buying components bought for max upgrading. I think for the real most importantunits medals can be spend for components. @4. I must say spawning cheap 90 gold infantry you can use them as meatshield .. Moreover you slow down their progress to. Your base. @7. Also thatirritating speedy little airplane (feels like a bug which is tiny but very annoying) is 2 hex 8. Agree partly, most battles include you defend your base. By paradrop and occupy their spawn bases with infantry defence is moredoable @9.cards are part of the stratgey and not optional anymore. Great thing is this gives you lots of different ways to achieve your goal. I use health, extra resoutces, and another turn often. Moreover, repair building can be handy. I did not use medals but i think to achieve 3 star wins for some lvls without mire bought units will need these strong cards. No needfor 3 star wins atm though.. No reward isnt? 10. Whish you can unlock it without real money |

Nice... well i see theres no new feature after the Queen Campaign. No new Pvp, no gold, no components, no new unit, nothing new at all sadly. Im not sure if these features will surface if i get 3 stars for all my challenges and campaigns? because i cant achieve 3 stars for some missions and challeneges up to now.
One more thing to take note, if you find the Queen Missions are hard and their unit are thick, Epsilon is worst! the unit is tougher than Queen's army. I intend to fully upgrade my unit before going into Epsilon. Hope the alien units are unlockable.
In response to the feedbacks,
4) agree, meatbags are good to slow them at least 1 turn againts 2-3 aliens or 2 turns agsints 1 alien.
7) i dint ever notice that small bug is 2 hex lol
8) agree, paradrop the meatbag onto the portal and slow the aliens for a sweet moment. Unless the portal is at sea, i will just ignore it.
9) indeed, the rewards of getting 3 stars isnt worth spending too much of your resources.

Great to have you in my friend list, although i do not use Gamecentre at all, in fact i dont even know what is it for lol... and i dint know how did I achieve level 3 in the world. I really like your starter thread that you have posted weeks ago, it is very detail and complete  initially i did not want to buy any units in the game, however as i progress through the game, at least blue and red dragons are kinda 'compulsary''. when it comes to pvp, i think the oponents damage is slightly higher by 10%, their evasion rate is like +35% on top of their current rate. I had roughly calculated it, for the same unit against theirs and similiar lvl, i will tend to miss 3-5 times out of 10times. couldnt win the same lvl oponent with same units without air support. Thats when i decided to get Eagle to help me bring down the oponents. For Missions wise, the better units you have, less time you spend on farming for exp to lvl up the units. Below is the list of my purchased unit lvl Mammoth : Lv 68 Blue : Lv 64 Red : Lv 58 Unicorn : Lv55 Shark : Lv 50 Eagle : Lv 55 |

Nice list. I will try it without other payer units. I think with good cards, good tac and good shields all will be fixed. Indeed in PvP i always will be in lower arena then my level due to players who hacked the game and have all payer stuff. Hopefully i can enter antartica soon so the aupply of core will be increased and medals can spend to other stuff. Too bad no achievementa are there after conpleting the new planets.. Since i know this now i will just proceed slowly. In case their are awars let us know  About game center and current rank in world. Ofc only ios players are listed in here.. And i dont use it but by accident found out i was around top 20.. This was kinda rewarding:) |

senjoe, I dont think you need those bought units to get 3 star wins. Just max your most important tanks and artillery in shield, regeneration and ofc ACE-ed. Try to upgrade output also and defensive parts by components.. Even use medals. Have strong generals (health, def and tank)... This will not be enough for all 3 star. Ofc you can shield up your airplanes so their damage will be steady... But just only attacking basis or alliens with no air-def is also enough... More important will be the cards.. In Antarica you can buy for 60 medals these cards.. If you have a couple of eacht just use 2 strong output tanks to major targets and let the rest defence your bases (did not try it yet since for now there seems no need for a 3 star win only for the components you can get).. In the card house of alpha you have some great damage cards too These are the cards i mentioned

Yeah, the cards are very crucial starting from Aplha-5 missions regardless you have bought units or not.
What I concern is that, the cards are only usable once. It will be used up even if you do not pass the mission, which the card(s) used will be a waste. Unless you save the game prior starting the mission. Also, there is no guarantee for the type of cards you want and the level of the cards are vary too when you purchase it.
Just to share my thoughts, I spend more resources on getting bought units and upgrading their components because they could bring me to victory easier permanently. The cards are used to help me to get 3 stars in missions. Nonetheless, the cards proof very handy to assist players to pass missions if they do not spend on bought units.

Singlemalt inf is usable for surrounding units, as you drop enemies morale and attack with ranged units.

You can save game for u start and load game afterwards if u did not succeded. Save if it again and so on
And yes ur right long range art is part of my strategy too. But they are slow and u need for 3 star very quick attack

I had just cleared first mission in Epsilon, and currently stuck in 2nd mission. The 2nd mission is about clearing 2 of their portals and 2 towers, while protecting own tower againts 20 of them. You have 2 tanks 2 Arti & 2 Planes to do so... I was defeated in 7 rounds with my tower destroyed. I even used 2 cards, one is mobility and one is repair tower.... and their shield is about 500HP(smaller unit) ~ 1000HP(bigger unit)... ouch...

I have tons of experienced in knowing how to defeat the aliens from antartic to epsilon.
Here I will give possibly useful information about beating the aliens:
1# - Remember that some alien units have anti-aircraft weapons, so only use your bombers to units without anti-aircraft weapons. If your target is an objective or an alien unit blocking your way, use your aircrafts even if they have anti-aircraft for the sake of achieving critical objectives
2# - Radars and Satellite Cards can offer outstanding vision and can help you navigate and avoid swarming of aliens around your units
3# - Strong units such as Blue Dragons, Red Dragons, Mammoths, or Unicorns can survive long enough to move and destroy or capture objectives alone
4# - Some alien units can move very quickly, so move your units to prevent them from encircling your units and protect the captured objectives as the aliens will try to swarm them and recapture
5# - Use your cards effeciently to maximize their utility in supporting your army, use cards with least turn cooldown
6# - Shields are the best defense to nullify most of te damage, but cannot regenerate anymore shields once they are "pop". So keep shielded units from being damage too much to somehow maintain their shields and regenerate those lost to damage taken
7# - Ion Cannons and Nuclear Bombs can be used to destroy objectives that are too far to get to due to oil limits, unless you stationed your units on an oil derrick halfway
Well that's it for this time. I will post more intel about beating these extraterrestrial beings or aliens for shortXD
