Check the cheats. There is a cheat to get the aliens invade a province you like. BUt. those guys are real weaklings.
They lack leaders, which seems to weaken them considerably. They are also I suspect short of an AI file. They do look cool though.
I keep hoping somebody will do a mod with them in it.

yeah the aliens lack ministers,leaders and a AI file..... and they start with 1918 inf
as far as getting to them hit F12 type in Alienattack [provID] they then will appear in whatever province you just entered

yes you can play as the aliens.... but you need to start as another country do the F12 alienattack thing and then save, exit and then when you go to reload just scroll down through the flags, and you can't miss it
but again they have NO ministers or leaders, unless you create some of course
just as a clarification the alien tag is ALI, so flag_ALI / shield_ALI

you could use halstens leader and minister generators to create those
as far as the AI file, thats out of my area of knowledge

After a month or two they max out techwise and ai controlled they gain an endless influx of troops, in one game where I called them in they had 1000 divisions when I quit. The problem is they start with a pacifist standing which means u have to take control of them do the freedom cheat and Dow the humans yourself.
antiochus.... If you were referring to halstens generators, then look at his sig or here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=192073
Interesting
I don't hack in leaders, but I have made INC files in the past. if you want to appreciate Aliens, give them the Rocket/Turbojet tech (including all aircraft.) Visions of "Independance Day", and set their sliders.

I finally worked out how to add leader files. This seems to make quite a difference to the Aliens ability to wage war.
I started their invasion in January 1936 in Marseilles, put them at war with the world and played as the UK. By mid 1936 the aliens have taken over much of France, and are stalled just South of Paris by my BEF. The Aliens are well into Spain, Italy and Switzerland. Hopefully now that aliens have reached the German border things will be stabilised. I did also try to add an AI file for them, but I am not sure if it worked, or how I would tell.
What I would like to see is an simultaneous alien invasion on multiple continents (without the endlessly spawning alien armies), but I am not sure how that could be done.

What did you do with the inc files. Would that allow you to start the aliens in multiple locations, and not have them infinitely spawn?

You can give them a land mass (even an island like Tahiti
)You can put the port on it for them (but they do that anyway)
You can fortify it (level 10 coastal + level 10 Land)
You can set their sliders (Stalinist Aliens?)
You can tell them who to like and hate
You can tell them almost anything
Pretty cool, at least once or twice. Just think about an alien island, and if you come near it you are destroyed.
I'd be really cool if someone did a Harry Turtledove alien mod. (for those who don't know he wrote a series based on aliens invading in 1941)
if you add an .inc file for them, you don't have to preassign a province to them, so you can still bring them down anywhere you want

Aliens in the Comintern!
That would be quite interesting!
