They still lay eggs in huge numbers when hosts are absent http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

That wont help them against undead summons

Re: oooh ooh devs please read! Perfect idea for a new race!
 

No it wont but most undead are slow, the adults are agile enough to take out legions of em http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

Maybe the Aliens from "ALIENS" aren't that fitting for DOM, but a "magic bugs race" (StarShip Troopers ?) may be quite interesting:

Hive mentalitiy: new pretender

no/few magics, but lots of innate abilities and lots of different critters, and maybe even auto-recruitment.

Or, to get rid of the not really theme-fitting gold economy, give some of their Queens orders to actually breed new, upkeep-free units.

Definitly something to think about ...

Anyone who could do the graphics?

Re: oooh ooh devs please read! Perfect idea for a new race!
 

I meant this thread as a joke because so many people put "READ THIS!" in the title of their threads, but thinking about it seriously.... it would be a nice addition. I dont think the graphics would be that hard.... slight modifications to alot of the existing graphics would do it, you wouldnt need that many new ones.

Re: oooh ooh devs please read! Perfect idea for a new race!
 

I have to say, It would be excedingly hard not to make them too too hard, being as they are SO hard. I mean, damn, there Xenomorphs....can anyone possibly say what they think might be harder than a Xenomorph ? except for possibly another larger and harder Xenomorph ?

I for one have no clue.

But I accept with total conviction that were I to come face to face with a Xenomorph, it would be harder than me.

personally speaking, I was taking the piss. Its a terrible idea, Dominions is a fantasy based strategy game not a film conVersion which are universally ****e.

I draw my veve from Lovecraft, Moorcock, Howard and any number of other older school writers.

Re: oooh ooh devs please read! Perfect idea for a new race!
 

perhaps they should be unique summons which are very expensive .
but all in all i am no big fan of the alien series .

@ spirokeat : the predator is even harder than Xenomorphs http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: oooh ooh devs please read! Perfect idea for a new race!
 

hmm, so the Predator is harder than the Alien...accepted...

Arnold Schwarzenneger (sp?) is harder than the Predator...so lemme map this out....

Premise 1 - The predator can completely beat an alien.

Premise 2 - Mr Schwarzenneger can completely beat a Predator.

Conclusion - Therefore Arnie is harder than BOTH a predator and an alien.

Looks valid and sound to me.

i had more in mind the alien vs predator game series http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
but since arnie can even beat the devil in end of days he surely is harder than BOTH a predator and an alien http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
