Have been restarting my campaign and rage quited during one of the missions. After that launched the game again and created a new campaign. But after discovering a first lair I get a message that pandorans have got invisible tritons, carapaced shield beares and shooters, hunter tritons, fliers, myrmidons and a few other variants as well. Basically everyting I have encountered in previous game.

Sorry that I haven't made a screenshot but checking files and starting a new game had fixed it.

And I have a few questions about pandorans progression. How does AI chooses which variant to unlock. Usually it presents the mist triton and MG athron, but sometimes it presents me with a carapaced athrons, It's the first upgrade btw.

Also I have noticed that in one games they evolve slowly while in others they have armor piercing and viral weapons when I only have equped my guys with gauss weaponry and only started to research armor. In all of those games I did exactly the same thing, saved all the havens, immideatly destroyed all lairs as well. What can lead to that inconsistency?
