Wow that was a pretty quick response. Now I am havn't dabbled much into the modding for this game but I have a few selections.

Make it so the queen unit is the only unit capable of constructing buildings. Then change then change the temple into something like the hive or something similiar since she can't create more units unless she has the dominion to do it. Then you can make the fortress into something that gives the tile a very high supply. The fortress needs a very long build time to help slow the advancement of just making super colonies of unit producers

Re: New Mod: Insectoids
 

Since the forts cant be modded any forts with long building time will give high admin as well, and we want to avoid that.

If only the Queen is capable of construction of temples (and thats the only building where we have any choice) then the Female cant bless in battle.

Temples cant be modded.

This is a bit of a long shot, but coudn't you make a national bless spell that uses the "normal" magic paths? Like Nature/Astral or something. Indie priests still would pose a problem though, being able to build temples. Damn buggers..

Re: New Mod: Insectoids
 

This is possible, but, as you correctly pointed out, there are very cheap indy priests.

Version 0.11

Changed local defense. Added a weak new human leader & unit to act as local defense instead of insects.

Re: New Mod: Insectoids
 

Version 0.12

Changed most #blind to #darkvision.

Re: New Mod: Insectoids
 

All immobile units had their defense reduced to 0.

Re: New Mod: Insectoids
 

I have played this mod and it is a blood hunting nation that uses blood slaves instead of gold to "Buy" units. Normally I would use a positive growth scale to produce more population to harvest.

Where do you get the blood slaves from when the population is wiped out? With Ashen Empire a death scale is obvious, but here it is not. Do you get more insects for free when the population dies?

It took me several turns to get this nation going, but then it had swarms that were starving in low population areas. This nation rolled over other nations with their swarms of insects, but I needed some construction stuff to keep the hordes fed.

Tunneling helped with moving nested queens, and the nesting concept was an interesting and thematic twist.

Normally nations in the early era get 6 gems per turn, but this nation gets none (I was expecting 6 free blood slaves every month but it probably doesn't make a difference.

Re: New Mod: Insectoids
 

The higher your dominion the more insects you get in the province.
