Fighting with Allies?

[Nasty Dog]

Am I now to understand that on certain missions, friendly factions might already be on the ground and fighting alongside you? :)

Heard there are some friendlies on story missions but alas in general we do not get any friendly/neutral forces in normal mission with exception of VIP and Tezclan quasi when they are your allies and you do their job within Gannix influence.

VIPs, deployable Automated Robots and tamed spiders just try to follow you and stay at 3 range, backing away if you end turn at 2 and coming closer otherwise. They apparently love to shoot you in the back and you can't send ARs onwards to avoid that. VIP dying kills you so usually people stick em into broom closet.

You can also deploy turrets and they are at least somewhat reliable at holding their ground.

Some fellow defenders on control/defence/security missions or workers during inflitrations would be awesome.

At the moment only in some story missions or if you summon allies yourself.

I'm pretty sure it counts, when a Quasimorph manifests in a difficult room. Then you just haul ass out and close the door.

Then open it back up a few turns later, and there's just blood and body parts littered everywhere. Unless of course it rips the door down and tries to eat your face first.

If also counting eccolapsed quasimorphs then if you have 100 rep with a quasi faction and you do a mission for them in a territory with their bramfatura - eccolapsed quasimorphs will be your allies, even barons.

Use a defib unit on a fallen enemy, or use an AR if you want an ally in a mission. Not usually super useful, but if you find a defib unit and you aren't planning on extracting with it, you might as well use it on the nearest corpse.
