SargonAelther: Not sure what you two are quoting, but the game description says:
They are not hostile, but it doesn’t matter. Their arrival is a death sentence.
Humanity is wiped out in a matter of months, succumbing to a disease the Occupants have brought to our planet. Breja: We're quoting the same thing you're quoting, just a bit further down.
Well ok, but then you are intentionally omitting the virus.

Humanity is wiped out in a matter of months, succumbing to a disease the Occupants have brought to our planet. BreOl72: [The aliens] are not hostile. - So: why "live in constant fear of an alien attack"?
Makes no sense.
- Leading a war, however, is an act of hostility.
- Dreaming about joining a fight against someone
(who is apparently NOT hostile), is also a sign of hostility.
But to unwittingly (?) introduce a disease/virus, of which possibly nobody knew that it existed, resp. of which nobody knew, that it poses a threat to the natives' lives, is not an act of hostility - that's just a massive "oopsie".
That's of course, IF the disease is not deliberately used as a weapon, after its life-threatening attribute is discovered.
But the game's blurb doesn't mention anything to that regard, only that the aliens aren't hostile.
I have not played the game, but I assume it goes something like this:
Aliens arrive, they're not hostile, but they bring diseases with them, that are fatal to humans. It is a massive oopsie, as you say.
Because humans are dying, they probably start attacking the aliens to either make them leave or to destroy them. The aliens retaliate and so NOW they are hostile, but they weren't before.
If my assumption is right, then then they could have used a past tense to make it clearer:
They were not hostile, but it didn’t matter. Their arrival was a death sentence. Humanity was wiped out in a matter of months, succumbing to a disease the Occupants brought to our planet. BreOl72: Which really doesn't support the "the aliens deliberately killed the natives by disease" - theory, that you seem to follow.
My "theory" is based on not omitting crucial information about what wiped out humanity. Diseases can very much be oopsies.
