Play as biter

Post by darkfrei »

Hi all!

It will be interesting to play PvP, where one side is players, another is biters. If you play biters, you must doing strategy and tactic, how to make your colony bigger and where is better to attack.

A very interesting suggestion! That reminds me of when I started playing the Zerg in Starcraft. I really like the idea.

People would easily wipe out any base by controlling biters. Locating and swarming any factory's vulnerable spot is all it would take. Biters have no infrastructure to mass produce units, so sending in a hundred biters to poke a hole in a wall is automatically game over for humans.

I like this idea.

When joining a multiplayer server you could choose to play as biters or humans. If either was too strong you could easily balance it. If nobody is playing as biters then the ai could take over.

Some ideas: biter's could only attack from bases within range of pollution, and each base could only spawn biter's so fast. As the evolution goes up you could spawn in bigger and better biters, maybe even have some choice in what types of aliens get spawned. Every now and then depending on evolution you could choose a location for a new biter base. And, as mentioned above, you could organise biter attacks, target weak points, attack multiple times in different places, or wait til you have a huge army and attack all at once. This would be really fun
