[beginner] a Zerg nation ?

I'll take a look to your mods Sombre, but I am not able to create graphics like yours :-(
did you create the skaven ex nihilo ?

[Sombre]

Yep. Well I looked at Warhammer miniatures and artwork, but I didn't use anything as a base or copy/paste.

I'm no artist and I don't have any hidden artistic ability to my knowledge. I just kept making sprites and got a bit more practiced at it. I think anyone can do it, pretty much. Especially now the vanilla sprites are available. I never really used them.

There's already one nation that uses insects spwaning other insects. I don't remember all the details, but it has:

- mobile queens that shapechange (permanently) into immobile, magically more powerful, auto-spawning queens
- blood-based summon spells get you more queens (the mobile ones)
- new "races" (fliers, amphibian etc) come from researching a new kind of a queen summon, who is then morphed into a "building" and starts auto-swapning.


I think the different queens also had different magics, and thus could summon their own spawn via blood spells easily, but had trouble summoning other specialized types.

I think that limit of units you can recruit per turn in a fort could make it hard.

100 is limiting? O_o

Besides, autospawners would be much more thematic than individual recruits.

I found 100 limiting even for TC on SP
