@@stallexiy i believe it's also with all COTC treasures, plus Courier probably isn't obtainable in 1 slot since you'd need to beat behemoths which probably? are too much to handle w/o a behemoth killer, obtained from killing behemoths
Treasures have somthing to do with this - Since you can't deactivate treasures from later chapters, the aliens in ITF chapter 1 have between 1/7th and 1/5th of their initial stats, making them way weaker than you think they should be. As an additional note, this is still impactful through most of ITF chapter 3, as going from 500% on the anti-alien treasures to 600% on them will halve the stats of aliens, and for most of ITF chapter 3 you still don't have the final anti-alien treasure. This gets even worse in Cats of the Cosmos, as the Starred Aliens have a much bigger stat boost to lose, with the early enemies in Cats of the Cosmos chapter 1 being at 1/16 of what they are the first time you fight them.
Honestly pretty expected considering you have max treasures. That gives aliens effectively 7x less health and damage. It's the reason why you die to a red boar at the end, which, frankly can probably be beaten with a bit of stalling and higher level courier.
he can't solo mexico* he can be the only unit deployed in mexico, but that's not a solo. i don't care how the community uses that word. it's not a solo, that's utter bullshit and i hope whoever decided that was a good term stubs their toe on splintery wood every day for the rest of their life
You can actually complete mexico with only courier (you need iron wall) First, lure the first Shibalien to your base so you can have a bigger stack (~4/5) when you reach the base. Then, use your iron wall to stall the bore at his base, and keep spamming couriers through out. After this, you just completed Mexico with courier alone.
I think for the bore stage ya should have lure the peons so you can start stacking couriers since all bores weakness are crowd controls. Also courier giving you new records is the thing I find funny
