slowing down alien life forms with armies suck so much...

[Ghostwind]

iam in the 2034 and control eu, russian, us and mexico with 23 armies..
life forms are spreading and spreading. each round i invest so many time in micromanaging my armies to wipe out (slow down) the life forms.... its a boring mess

[Skrain]

Your agents are far, far better at stopping them then armies

[Mistfox]

Armies don't clean out the xenoflora 100%, they will grow back. Use agents and if you see the text that says you did not get them all, resurvey the area and get the leftovers. Only when it says that you got them all did you actually clean them out, otherwise it is just a temporary cleaning.

[Ghostwind]

okay thank you very much, i will try this then ;)

[Soul]

you need to get certain techs to get better at wiping out the alien terraforming crap or it will slowly overwhelm you, xenobiology research is super important.

[Ghostwind]

i have the tech and its helped much, because i can clean a life form with only one mission
but the hint from Skrain and Mistfox were more vital for my problem, my exterminators cleaned now already the EU.

To stop the source you need to kill or capture aliens. There is probably a bunch on earth spreading it.

[Soul]

Yeah dive down the xenobiology tree and cut the rot out at the source, although the aliens get upset af when you do this. They don't consider humanity a threat until you actually are. I just killed the alien's top agent on my planet afaik and they are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ triggered let me tell you they just made an example out of several of my orbital stations.

thats not a good solution, because killing the alien agents, will piss them off and they will come with their fleets and troops and stomp you in the dirt.

That's just how you play this game my friend. You need to allow the aliens to punch you in the face every now and then and just take it. Just try and take a mile for every inch they give ya

[Ghostwind]

yea sure, do whatever you want, seems you deserve it ^^

It slowly builds up to 100, at 100 it spawns Megafauna that attacks the area and resets growth to 50. There are different icons that represent levels, but I'm not sure what the break points are. It absorbs CO2 though, so I like to leave it til it progresses to the second icon then clean it up.

[Ghostwind]

how can you check how many points it already has built up?

Difficulty and the icon.

When the icon for the xenoflora is blinking in red, and the icon looks like an animal, then it will soon give birth to the megafauna. So you should check once in a while.
