Leash bonus from Marvel quest is quite broken

[Domai]

So completing the ancient alien remains marvel quest which allows every unit to leash aliens, including colossal (unlike the tech-locked version). The Quest itself is absolutely trivial (two patrol boats all it takes) and visible coasts on landing also helps.

So it's barely turn 70 and I have 3 kraken, 2 siege worms a Makara and hordes of dragons/rippers/land bugs. Ultrasonic fence doesn't seem to be working for my sea capital so it was just constantly free stuff every couple of turns.

Muad'Dib for the win.

Wait, it allows to leash colossal aliens too? lol...

I believe the devs have said this is a bug they're working on. You should still need the extra tech to leash colossals.

Yep. The AI surprised me that it was smart enough to utilize this too. I saw the PAC crush the NSA somewhat early on in a game earlier. I sent a boat over to the taken cities to check if she was heading my way next and I found 2 PAC krakens among her otherwise small army. It was hilarious honestly. Luckily I buddied up with her that game and watched her flatten a few other civs while I quietly went for Emancipation victory.

Honestly seeing that kraken sitting by the decimated Deepcastle was so amazing I almost hope they don't fix it.

Wait! What tech allows you to leash colossals?

Hell the free exploration/army alone is more than worth it, although I do hesitate a little to put XP on my aliens when ships that can actually use it could be getting it, but ultimately a free army is a free army.
