Commander,

It’s hard to believe, but Tygan thinks he’s found a way to turn the Alien Rulers, Vahlen’s infamous creations, over to our side.

I won’t sugarcoat it: I’ve got my doubts. Even Vahlen herself couldn’t pull it off. But what if this time it works? What if we can bring even one of them into our cause? If there’s a chance to convert these monsters into allies, we’d be fools not to take it. This could be the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for the edge we need to tip the scales of this war.

No promises. Just a chance. And sometimes, that’s all we get.

• Some abilities have no icons which cause alignment issue (you can suggest icons for ability in the "Suggestion" discussion)
• The Archon King Icarus slam might force a reload if using more than once per mission.
• The sound that the Rulers make (in the barracks) persists (like the Skyranger lift bug).
• Incompatible with Cloned aliens Rulers [WOTC] as it seems to give the Archon King and Berserker Queen infinite AP.
• The magnetic and Beam Bolt caster are available from the start. Fixed with new release
• True Primary Secondaries [BETA] can cause some issues with the Berserker queen’s animation (looks like she is using a sword) Fixed with newest release
