Last enemy army before ship is way too strong. I would have killed them but the guys coming from the back are too hard.

Anyway those plants are also much too strong. they killed my trisats before getting them through

Hi Dante -

I have to agree. Also tried this mission last night. At first I thought I was just too sleepy, but as I am not not only one who lost the last fight in this mission I feel better now ;)

Seriously. I also think the guys which attack your back are too much. The other ones which are standing infront of the ship are fine and still a challenge...

The Psi Resonator is cool though :)

Hi Guys so i have tried it tonight annother time

and i must say the two armys really to strong. The Pc use its Abilities to fast. you see him and the pc use his abilitys bevor you can use yours. Is seems so that, the Harvesters from the Pc had a higher Chance to stun his enemys.
Have tried it with severels times with all Units with you become as reinforcment, but all the time the harvester kills me, or if i get kills the harvesters the other units makes short proces with me.

As a hint for the other Players.
The Wall Plants are not to strong. Why must you go to the enemy? When the enemy comes to you? Stay with you reinforcement at the begin of the map, the Psy generator to. Only walk trough the Plants with the Main Char, Ejji, Thark, the Two Harvesters and one of the Sweepers? (Those Flying things with have 450 Hitpoints and have the Ability to create these small bugs <- at This for the Developer in the Text stand there will be spawn 5 bugs but only three spawns). Save at the last Waypoint and Walk with you Group without the Sweeper back to the beginn of the map. After you have reach the other units. Attack with the Sweeper the enemy Master. He, his Guards and the second troop walks trough the Map to your position. So you can fight with all you troops, without any looses to these dammed plants.

For the Devs.
The wall Plants bombs should hit the enemy too, and not only your units. its a little bit strange when you units get damage and the enemy who walks trough the same bombs laughts :)

hope it helps someone, i tried it tomorow morning a thirt time. But if i have a choice i wantet to do a second traped map like labirinth were i tried severels times to get about 94% of my troops to the end of the map.

AFTER TONIGHTS PATCH

The mission "exposed" is still too hard...
Enemies should be harmed by those plants as well..
Or at least make the 2nd wave (coming right after triggering the last master) slower...
or add a field overseer and a arbiter/manipulator to the reinforcement group...heal, mana increase (tru overseer) or fear would help i lot i think
I've been trying for 3 hours now and still can't finish this mission.
I rly concentrated myself and saved a lot of units for the last fight...(about 14 trisats, 3 shifter, 2 trisats, two harvester, and characters for sure)
but its not possible...
The master kills all my little trisats with one nethernova... and i had about 14 or something...
and no chance to heal with eji... 3 harvester stunning all the troops and no chance to react...

Well and I think the spell issue isn't fixed 100%... I clicked myself to death to get spells casted (like nether nova)...plz guys fix this ;)

I rly love this game and I'm anxious to see how the story goes further...and hey I like challenging maps (like labyrinth e.g.) but this one is way too hard... even for experienced gamers...

i think the dominator from the back should be removed. he stuns all units and they take extra dmg. most times that were the dead for me :)

im trying this mission now until i got it done... i counted: 8th time i press replay

btw found something that might be helpful to win the fight. AI-Arbiters & Dominators only use there abilities when there are at least 3 units on one place. So if u got packs of two they dont use it... maybe that will help me

Update... 19. i tried it 19 times. with all chars + 2 harvester + 2 shifters + 3 tritechs + 15 trisats...

about 5 times those damn plants killed my psi locator... this thing sucks. it need more hp. and u should take out at about half of the plants. especially at last fight. it makes no sense that they kill your units while not damaging the enemy.all my trisats are useless in last fight. it takes about 5 hits of such a plant to kill a trisat. well there are 2 plants at the end, that will take out ur trisats before u can do something with them and if the plants did not the nether nova will...

moreover i think the zone where you get save the checkpoint should be increased. i must press all my units to the wall not to get them attacked by plants. and all plants should have at least 50% of range. then it might not be neccessary to remove so much

We are going to make it easier again, so you don't have to struggle ... unless you want to be able to say "I did it when it was insanely hard" :)
But no matter if you succeed or not, obviously it is still to hard and needs to be changed.

I like the music and the movie @Dante.

Especially the music reminds me of my childhood soooo long ago.

PS: In general I prefer music with guitars :P
