Game 719: Deadlime, SteveSmith, frazzmac in Alien Containment*

It seems like there's a lot of action going on in this game that I'm not involved in!

This mission is an absolute nightmare to balance! I think the Aliens have it way too easy now. If you focus all of your Alien forces towards 1 single exit then it is far too easy to break through. Arrgh. :(

Any ideas? Reduce the amount of starting Aliens to 3 or 4?

I think the problem is that it's down to a fair bit of luck; if the aliens choose the least-defended exit, they will probably win, but obviously if they choose the most defended exit, they'll probably get wiped out pretty quickly. Needless to say, I think you chose the right route Deadlime. Frazzmac, I notice you were nowhere near the computers. Were you going for the long game?

As for improvements, how about an extra unit on both the humans side? I think reducing aliens to 3 will make them too weak.

Yes, I was hoping that the Aliens and Rebels would have more of a battle, then I would slip through on one side or the other. But trying to cover all four exits meant that I was spread too thin when the Aliens came knocking.
