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.

oh, and aliens stil only ever breed at the rate that the host beast lives and breeds at.

They still lay eggs in huge numbers when hosts are absent

That wont help them against undead summons

No it wont but most undead are slow, the adults are agile enough to take out legions of em

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?

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.
