There's a pretty good Aliens versus Space Marines mod for Myth II - I'd recommend that...

So in the case of beast X which breeds at Y speed the alien Z would breed at an initial rate X * Z then at a reduced rate of X * Y until eventually all you had left were Z.

At that point. Z will go something like 'oh'

and X won't be doing much of anything and it certainly won't be getting up to any of the fun that precludes Y.

If you get my meaning.

They lay the eggs independantly of hosts being available and the eggs Last indefinatley(millions of years), and hop out whenever something big enough to implant(a cat) is around.... facehuggers themselves are pretty damn fierce!

Considering how fierce and tottally excellent face huggers and aliens are, its probably a good job that we do have a strong god such as His Divine Majesty Arnold protecting us.

I think I will mod a pretender up, called simply

'The Arnold'

ok, so what would he have......

All the survivals, swamp, forest, mountain, waste.

He's tottally stealthy (see predator)

Hes tottally ruthless and badass (Commando, and he would say, 'Alien Queen, I'll Kill you Laaast')

he would have ultimate Awe, a mortal could never dream of assaulting him (See Twins)

He would have a low leadership because he only ever leads elite units of total badasses (predator again)

His statistics would be like Soo ! Awesome ! because hes so larger than life (see everything hes done)

Hes tottally immortal as he will always 'be back'

Ok, Magics..Death, because you never cross him and live..

What else ? comments welcome.

Spiro...

They still lay eggs in huge numbers when hosts are absent .
