Commander, Although I am not fully confident on this, Tygan has made an apparent breakthrough that may potentially allow the resistance to get new powerful allies to our cause. Apparently, there might be a way to make the Vahlen’s experiments, known as the alien Rulers, join us in battle.

To be honest, I don’t fully trust this plan, not even Vahlen could do it herself. Nevertheless, I would be a fool if we don’t give it a shot. We saw them fight before, if we could get them on our side, then the Elders chances to win will go down to the ground.

• 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
