@CKchaos not yet, i'm still planning them out on how they'll play.

do we know when the predators are coming?

ah- i'll eventually fix it.

i believe if i'm right the winged praetorians don't have any rituals (unless they are supposed to?) so i just have the situation of having the main queen (the one you start with) making a winged queen (with the rituals to make bats and raptors, make a winged praetorian, and create a mountain nest) and because the winged queen can't move it can't make a nest so it just sits in the nest it was spawned in. (except for flying straight up and coming back down with its fly ability).

@dragonwulf606 been a while since i messed with them, but the overall issue with the winged queen is the mod would have no way of knowing if that queen is dead so it would need replacing, so for now they have stationary status. Haven't really looked at the Winged queens rituals in a long minute, mind telling me what they were again? I remember that the praetorians created the mountain nests and then turned to those winged queens.

i don't think i understand why you made the winged queen stationary. how i am supposed to build the mountain nest if they can't leave the nest they were created in?

Oh man, thanks for this! I was working on my own AVP mod a while back but it never got off the ground.

once you get your praetorians, simply sacrifice a city to create a nest. They'll turn int a new regular queen.

how do i make a second queen that's not aquatic or fly i have not found a way to make a charger idk if that's how you do it

nah, i probably forgot to add their weapons.

Is the Charger supposed to not have a weapon? I do see the Trample 7 value, but it seems strange that their only source of damage would be *just* Trample.

Awesome dude!

made a patch for it, just working a bit more on them before rolling it out. Dont worry i found a port and did a full test on it.

the aquatic queen should have their own ritual list i already tested it before hand so not sure why its not working now.

so i cant help but notice that the flying queen has the stationary tag, and the aquatic queens ritual list has no rituals, other than that im loving this

Glad to see you back GRIMZY!

good news everyone, i'm back!

Oh, so that's why I have not seen him online the last days. That sucks. Was playing the mod with him in multiplayer.

Relaying a message for the author - the mod is on indefinite hiatus until they have a computer again.

So it seems that it's still possible for a new Praetorian to evolve into an empress under said circumstances. BUT - I didn't get any errors til now, and I think I've played a bit further than last time, so that's great
Maybe to mitigate the problem, you could make a new terrain named "Xenomorph Nest (Empty Lair) as a "in-between-state". I think I've seen similar use of those in other mods. That way you won't trigger another evolution, because the evolution only happens with the "empty lair"-variant, which no longer exists.
Though I have to say that events are the sector in coe5 modding I'm least competent in, so there might be a way more elegant way to handle this.

i pushed out a possible fix.

This is EGGSELENT!!!

*It transformed my new Praetorian

Got an error:
line 1781
No event command called: addeventvar
Not really clear on why exactly it happened, but I noticed something else not working as intended (at least I think so?) which might relate.
When I wanted to collect some units from another Hive, it transformed into a subservient empress, while still having a subservient queen present. My Matron wasn't even in the 3rd form at that point.

Otherwise I really love the Idea and will be watching your progress with great interest.

the warriors are supposed to have the better stats, drones are more like the cannon fodder that overtime turns into warriors.

Could you check the stats for drones and warrior, somehow the warrior have better attacks then the drones?

@Fabian, thanks for the ideas. There's already ways to make new hives, you just gotta evolve your queen and then get a Praetorian. They're also used to replace your queen if the queen dies, just move a Praetorian onto your home tile.

Great idea, here some comments: the xenomorhps are glasscanon-ish (which is a good thing for the balancing), you should move the facehuggers to the front (in the back they never got any chance to convert minions), you should add an option to build further hives (or the long way between front and egg legging will breck the neck of the faction in the long run) and to recruit/ lay eggs for addtional queens, as the queen will mostly stay behind on egg laying duty and defending the hve
