Age of Wonders: Planetfall

Hey all, after browsing the net and having found very little information, I played a save scum heavy run and made a basic guide.

Note: There is a point near the end of the mission where the covert countdown timer will stop in order for you to complete the last objective. You will however have to be somewhat quick up to that point as the AI will eventually bump into your empire and start the initial countdown.

- First Research should be -
-Military- Synthesis Integration then Daemon Deployment (for Internal System Overload Hack)
-Society- Area Surveillance up to Intelligence Gathering
(for Infiltrate Operations Centre)
-Then either Operational Effectiveness (Thanks to LordMakanaki) or whatever combat mod/units you prefer.

Some More tips -
- Make sure Difficulty is set to High.
- Reroll the map to get a strong starting resources and save it, you can reload after you lose or see more clearly what you need to do (Thanks to LordMakanaki)
- Also wouldn't hurt to save if you make good progress and save scum using when using ops just in case.
- Use forward bases and sectors to make roads to the objective locations as you will be making a few trips back and forth.
- Make sure the required ops are primed by the time you get to the objectives.
- There is plenty of time to clear nodes as long as you don't have to cross mountains etc.
- I did this with two 1.2 - 1.5k stacks with 2 loose heroes and double/tripled stacked each fight, only lost 3-4 units total.
- You can also preposition armies at objectives if you make plenty of troops. (Thanks to LordMakanaki)

T1
- Make contact with the Paragon and Therians.
- Send one scout left and one right, across the water to 'Surveil the rift generators' make sure to keep the scouts in the water (for Universal Camouflage) and away from enemy stacks. Use 'Deploy monitor' op so they reveal the two objectives inland.
- Move your army to the Therian Quest site completing any faction quests close by.
! Conversation - regarding the human prisoner. I chose the food.
- Send army south to 'Deliz Waspowa' sector to fight the Dvar, you must use the 'System Overload Hack' which req 50 energy on this stack before fighting it.
- You will always be detected at this point as the reactor will be destroyed and trigger a conversation. You will gain 3% to your meter every turn from here.
- Send your armies north to conquer the Therians Dwelling to destroy Generator 2. I think there was an option to friend them but this was quicker.
! Choose the option regarding the paragon
- Prime and use 'Infiltrate Operations Centre' on both commanders. This will destroy the 3rd generator
- Head south to the Paragon dwelling to destroy the 4th generator. Both dialog options still had me fight.
! Conversation - Amazon tech is classified option.
- Send army north to Lunascent City Sector to defeat Vanguard stack will also req 50 energy for 'System Overload Hack'. This will destroy the 5th generator.
! Conversation - Pick up line option.
- At this point the countdown stopped at 90% detected, with the objective to complete the Anomalous site. You will not gain any more compromised so chill :) However, the site is quite difficult. You can bypass two 1.5 to 2k battles by choosing the options that req 2 turns but the last option you will have to fight a 3k+ stack. I auto-combatted with my 1.6k secondary stack and won with 1 troop left then used my main stack to trigger the win at turn 53 with 2 lvl7 main heroes.

Apologies for the text wall and I hope this is helpful to you and at least gives you a basic idea.
As my first big guide feedback is welcome and I'll edit in any tips and fix errors as needed.

Happy Hunting
