Did suggested changes, still same problem.

edit: ok, after making the suggested changes, the third time i created a game it worked and is still working. I have one question though: are the spawns from creatures dom dependant?

Very nice mod. I like all the summons but i feel the swarms/swarm mother may be a bit strong. While not very damaging a 1 slave creature with 6 attacks at attack level 13(with each attack reducing the enemies defence by 2 iirc) and some fear seems pretty evil

The spawns from Queen and Hive Queen are dominion dependent.

Version 0.06

-Second defense commander changed to Queen (didn't make sense that insects would retreat from their nest)
-Removed Drone's castledef bonus.

Excellent work as always.

Some thoughts on the balance - when setting a province defense, the drones seem particularly tough compared to militia. Maybe consider setting some "susceptibles", or other balancing? In my test play, setting a province's defense to 20 pretty much took care of any AI attack thus far, particularly as it often provided a Female commander.

Also - maybe a flying SC pretender option? Just a thought.

I like this mod as a thematic break from most of the fantasy-based mods and nations.

I've lost provinces with the defense of 40, but the drone/soldier/male 20/15/5 setup possibly is too strong. I'll play with the numbers and try to balance it better. This mod is by far my most balanced mod.
