Appelmonkey's "Failed Aliens" Vote

I was considering breaking this up in edges, however, I think I could bring my point more effectively across by just making it a simple vote.

This goes straight to the Race, who will ironically find themselves in the same position as the human found themselves during the Race invasion, fighting a much more advanced species, but winning with superior tactics. Now, don't get me wrong the Race's strats and tactics could use some polish, but at least they have those. The Arume meanwhile hold up sacrifice to their species to such a high regard that seemingly all of their tactics have been based to reflect this, and while rushing the enemy guns blazing could work if you are facing a smaller force the Arume are outnumbered.

In terms of leadership, things aren't better as Shivariel seems perfectly fine just throwing away her men (or women rather) just to test some new weapons. Atvar meanwhile isn't that great either, but at least he is able to at least somewhat adapt his plan of attack somewhat.

In the end any advantage the Arume have is squandered by their downright suicidal tactics and poor leadership. Arume will encounter the same problems as with their own invasion of Earth although this time they don't have a Deus ex Machina to save their sorry asses. One can only speculate as to what the Race does after the invasion. Do they adopt Arume tech into their own now they know there are more advanced civilizations in the Milkyway? Will they shift their gaze from Earth to the Arume home planet? Who knows?
