In hard mode, the only enemies that spawn on the 4th island are Alphas. There aren't actually any more than there were before.

The biggest tip I can give you is to try to make it so that at the start of the next turn, there will be 3 Vek on the board. Not 4, not 2. 3. That way, only 2 will spawn each turn and you have 1 vek per mech to deal with.

This isn't always possible, but if you try to achieve it the game gets much easier.

The 4th island is no joke, however. Especially on Hard. All I can really suggest for that is to watch some videos of someone playing the 4th island and see how they did it. If I may, I humbly submit my own vids, where I like to get 4-island victories and only don't do it if I think I truly cannot.

Here's a link to the first of my Hard Playthrough, which I'm still currently on.
