How to approach the alien land invasion?

[Mosley Gaming]

Soo always around 2033 the aliens land their armies on earth, im nowhere near having spaceships that can defeat the aliens let alone be an army that can destroy their armies, the only solution is to nuke them 3 times ( each for every army ) and conquer their capital, but doing soo makes all their ships go around and kill my outposts, how i should approach this? What should i do? Land assaulting the ship its always 8 percent with command 25 without no way to easy it or destroy it.

What should i do? Where i should focus? How i can defeat them or stop them from landing? Is there a trick i dont know or should i play more low? Usualy i just stay in America / China doing nothing but making non aggression treaties and try to expand on space, playing the resistance because they have the cool logo

Haven't found a good way to win that part yet either.

If you're usa and they happen to land near you. You can always send all your troops fairly quickly to dispatch them.

Having ships in orbit with weapon that can bombard can let you target specific targets... Including their armies And it's very strong (just found this one a few hours ago).


They had a stack of 4 Aliens and it got obliterated from orbit. Problem is.... Ok I wo that got 3 different body type of aliens and won the earth war but as soon as that happened they just sent their mothership to obliterate me and they keep spamming me with ships and destroy everything... So no easy answer sadly.

For raw power... 2 ships with node gun green laser can do the job fairly easy.

I think next time as soon as I unlock green nose laser and a decent drive for orbital defense I'll spam those ships... Try to hold out until I get 6+ and pray It works.

Issue is that after you kill their ship... It's a constant space war. And when they bring their mothership there's not much you ça actually do.

I'm Thinking about doing maybe 2 shipyard with 3 slot to build ships... Because having parallel construction when you get the techs is the only way to get ships out fast enough. I probably waited a bit too much this time before making some. Because with 2 destroyers I was doing fine against everything except his mothership... So I think if I managed to get like 8+ I would maybe have had a chance and after that ship its dead.. Well its almsot an easy win I reckon.

What I found best is to lock down one of the global research pools and rush point defense arrays so I can mount them on stations and outposts. After that nuking the alien armies doesn't cause you that much harm anymore as your space assets are defended.

From what I know even if you don't nuke their units and just use military stacks to push them back you generate hate with the aliens and reach the same conclusion.

As for stopping them from landing I know there is a tech that allows you to start building surface-to-space defenses on your CPs (like you invest in Military or Economy, a long process but apparently it stops future invasions, couldn't try it out as I managed to bug out the alien fleets with a defense array station)

Aside from using nukes on them - you usually can't do anything else against first invasion.

Nuclear torps. Big ships. You could (but yean, doing it in ~33 require a dedicated start).

It doesn't. Your own fleet could.

Just checked the Tooltip for it and in short it says that it would prevent landings against the region its located in so I'm guessing if all of the USA has Space Defenses the aliens will never be able to land on US ground.

It will be a loooong time until whole Earth will have them and until that - their 7...9 mil tech armies could go on a walk :)

True, a fleet is the best solution at the end of the day. And nukes.

There is a ♥♥♥♥ load of defence points you cant really


I got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ my second play on year 2035 by huge invasion of 15 armies 8.3 tech.
Now I know that securing USA or at least Russia with nukes is a key.
AAAAMMMERIKA, ♥♥♥♥ YEAH! Bassicaly USA is your best bet to defend humanity on a long run. Russia does its share with nukes.

Anyway - you want to make sure EU, Russia , USA , China , India are either in your or another pro-humain faction hands. There are many other factions that will make nukes, but you cant run around the world 100% of your time to sieze the control,disarm warheads etc.You may eat 1-2 nukes in your face but thats fine.

BUT if during invasion you let nuclaire potential of Russia or USA into Servants hands...RIP
20-28 nukes will burn you down.

Huh. My first kill of mothership in campaign was exactly by 10 monitors with missiles. You could overcome their PD.

Yes, it's intended by devs - "normal" gameplay solution to first invasion are nukes.

yeah i was actually close to getting the Surface to Orbit tech... it was next tech to get. but alien nuked me in 5 turns.

i'm still playing, but i have -2000$/turn. and while i did defeat the first invasion, they still had 1 alien left, and he decided to settle near my only nation left... and now he just took it. so ... i dont even have a nation right now lol.

You said it - missiles. Not torpedos.
You indeed can fire ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of missile barrages at the point where PD cant rival it.
I used to run Copperhead into Ratller missiles which fire a salvo of 3

Sigh. 2 x Lancehead missiles, 1 x Nemesis torpedo on each Monitor. I think it's obvious idea - how to make nukes work :)

China (Pan) > Eu > Great India are all better than US in the long Run.
2035 is early game......

China is a Monster in late Game with up to +40 Invest Points every Month.


If you sabotage permanently Servants Projects never a Alien Nation can formend on Earth.

Russia could unify whole EU (even super-EU) and that's a quite monster too.
