Horrors from the Hive

Adds a new civilization of mounstrous insects that can't be negotiated with and will invade you often if they can.

The hive horrors are similar to ants, having the same caste structure, but of great size. Most of them, the workers and soldiers, are relativily small creatures, no more dangerous than a wild bull or something, but they make up for it in numbers. Meanwhile, their much rarer drones are absolute beasts, requiring a strong defense to defeat. They also fly. Meanwhile the queens are absurdly dangerous, but very rare and incredibly slow.

Their civilization is simple, as befits mostly mindless bugs. They will come out of a fortress in the swamp and start building settlements all around it, and if they find someone elses settlements, almost certainly attack it. If they conquer it, they'll begin spreadding from there, beggining their endless expansion. Their leadership is composed of a queen and three drones that she sends to attack others in her name.

Overall these creatures may not be that dangerous to your fortress due to their lack of armor but they are powerful monsters that just wont stop invading and can still give you hell once they get to you. In world generation they are a coin flip. They may stay in their lands and fail to do much harm, or they can snowball out of control and raze an entire corner of the map, destroying civilizations all over. Because of this, they are capped to one civilization total.

So, install this mod if you like the idea of facing wave after wave of horse sized bugs coming to kill you, if the challenge of fighting back against them sounds interesting, or if you like the idea of goblins getting eaten by ants.
