Don't you feel like it's the same crap all over again( Zergs, The bugs from star wars 2)?

But i have few ideas that would make a BIT different:


1) Hell no to the green stuff shooting guns in star wars 2!

2) more of evolving would make them somewhat different from zergs.the creatures eats bodies and they evolve from them.Talks about it more in evolving part.

3)Senses beyond human(ex. hearing an enemy coming)

4) The main building should be Norn Queen which CAN move or later, even fly but it's very slow and vulnerable. it lives in a hole and gradually evolves( the more it evolves, the more creatures it can summon at once and at the pre-last stage, it can fly). It comes out and lays eggs every 2 minutes, but you must tell her what kind to lay and from those eggs come 100's of creatures you told her to lay. It's either a worker or soldier. It can dig a new hole. Queen needs food which is supplied by workers from dead bodies

5)Tyranids get resources by eating their enemies bodies(the more the creature eats the more it evolves)

Evolving
Each creature squad( about 20-100) can evolve 3 ways:
Homolacra Exoria: They evolve something like human and biological and at the end they become mind controling Malanthrope and broodlord.
Seria Carnavora: This kind is more more agressive and bigger and eventually evolve into Hive Tyrant if you capture a relic.
Lorro Felncia: This kind evolves super fast creatures. Eventually evolves creatures into gargoyles.

Homolacra evolving
Genestealer or Zoanthrope( only if you encounter Eldar)
Zoanthrope(If not countering Eldar)
Broodlord
Zoat(relic point captured)

Seria Carnavora evolving
Lictor
Tyranid warrior
Carnifex
Biovore
Hive tyrant + Tyrant Guard

Lorro Felncia evolving
Ravener
Termagant
Hormagant
Spinegaunt(can lay spore mines)
Gargoyle
+Ripper swarms breeder building where youbuild ripper swarms like crazy!!!!


Titan Breeder

Is build by a worker and it is something like an add-on to Norn Queen. It builds titans. Titan can be added to squads, but only of their breed:

Homolacra Exoria: Dominatrix( increases the obidience and attack), Malanthorpe( increaes the range and speed, has "eat the 4 people squad" ability),

Seria Carnavora: Hierophant(increases attack and defence),
Hierodule(increases attack and defence, Has "smash" special ability)

Lorro Felncia: Trygon( increases stealth(cannot be seen from far away) and speed), Harridan( transport; adds flying speed to flying units).


Workers
They do NOT evolve. They build towers, spore mines( they infect the enemy and that infantry becomes zombies which attacks anyone) and titan breeder. They also supply food to the queen.




Oh, yeah...AND NO UNIT LIMITS!!!

This is everything i can think of for now. Post you ideas!

Already Being Discussed.


However, i'm not in favor of the getting resources by eating. It's good to get a req bonus by eating (cause it's sorta fluffly) but don't have tyranids depend on it.

We have a thread about this.

You posted in it (and then deleted it so that we could split discussion between two threads on the same subject, apparently).
