Assaulting Alien Landed Warship/UFO Help

[markelphoenix]

So, Aliens have started invasion, landed a warship. Have 30 days to use Assault agent mission to remove it. I have Agent with 22 CMD, so just 3 shy of max. When I try to Assault and invest max resources for it, I get 3% Chance....

Is there something I am suppose to do to increase those chances? Is there a 'Crack Down' equivalent to make it easier?

nope, nuke them when they land, best way to get rid of them.

that orsend like 2 or 3 or 4 information age armies

So I have to declare war on where they landed first then?

yea basically, but you can only declare war on them if theyve taken over the country they land in. if you want to attack them before they take it over you need to be an ally of said country or declare war on that country itself. also, you can just attack them normally if it is in your country

Ahhh. So I could wait for them to claim the nation THEN nuke to completely remove them from board? Seems like best option.

Don't think it will remove them from the board... It will do serious damage to their armies, GDP, and Population of the area to the point of making the region they landed in near useless to them.

I just watched the academy do just that to a landing zone in brazil.

Nukes are really bad for the planet, so it is better to avoid using them.

Bah! Easiest way I've dealt with it is to use a 25CMD on the assault and get a 4% chance... and roll a 0 for a Critical win! I highly recommend it

One nuke will target and kill one alien army in the region, and do a fair amount of collateral damage to other armies stacked in there too. Yes not a very green solution but probably worth it.

So, just out of curiosity, the people having terrible odds with max skill and boost.

Is that after researching the tech that lets you boost further, or before?

[gigamelon1981]

It is not real helpful but, investigating can increase the odd you're winning.
Like when i tried to detain an alien agent, i had 1% chance, maybe 17% with max boost.
Investigate the alien until the spy said "I know the alien agent more than the alien"
It rose to like 34% with maximum influence boost.
Not really helpful but i guess better than nothing.

The servants and the aliens are very good at one thing: to increase the unrest in their areas to an amount, that they will revolt.
You can help with that, too.
If you cannot beat their armies:
Let them have their areas. They will lose them by themselve quite fast again.

`yes, nukes are bad for the planet, but these guys are TOUGH AF after the 30 day period,. It took me 12 armies (8 USA/2 EU/1 ITA/1 RUS) to smack them down, but I had to retreat each army once at 50%. I BARELY didn't loose any armies, but after they are dead, then you have to OCCUPY the province - and that is BRUTAL as well - and to pile on the Aliens bombarded me from orbit - so I had to retreat, reheaal, and I'm about to go back in - all the while ANOTHER alien nation landed on the other side of the world with 3 armies...and there is another army transport making earth orbit in 10 months. This is the most important death spiral to avoid IMO. If I see an army of 6, I will nuke them, fock it. Dont know if alien marines are limited or not, and they just keep on sending more and more (doesnt seem to be the case, I think they have low pop from the alien research I have read).

Their armies are mostly robots.
