Summary0016623: Grials are the most common (only?) monster that appears in my games & are nigh-invincible
DescriptionChris just noted in the forums that Grials are only supposed to appear if you have a ton of volcanoes. I have yet to build a volcano, but have seen Grials regularly (and don't see other monsters). I'll upload my next save.

AFAIK Grials can only be attacked with Bombers, not with helos, sea, or monster pits.

Chris claims that silos can attack Grials, but I haven't tested.

I can confirm you can attack them with silos <_< They are most effective way of killing them, bombing them takes forever

Apparently you are supposed to be able to kill them with ranged attacks including laser? I can attest that only bombers and missiles can damage them

I'd say that this is pretty major issue though since in all of my other games besides my evuc game, grials wiped me out easily :P And even in all games they keep wiping out acutians.

For 0.816:

* Changed the rule that prevented hitting loose underground monsters by any non-bunker-busting attack to instead only apply to air-vehicle attacks.

* Fixed a bug where rogue waves were insisting on a minimum monster level of 10 instead of 1. Since the Grial is the only loose (non-pit) monster that's not an arthropod (which are used during the heat victory path), that meant it was Grials All Day, Every Day. Which, incidentally, is the name of a recently launched Burlust restaraunt chain...

Thanks :)
