Quick question. Will this ever get a chance for implementation? We've got dwarves and scalefolk still waiting to even be started, and they are officially planned. I hate to be the one to burst a bubble, especially since this looks rather cool, but you'd probably be better off trying to make these into campaign units a few at a time.

I can see a good campaign here. Insect infestation.

yes, actually i feel insects a little off-mainstream or even not fitting to fantasy world, but if you find some evidences, tell me.
also i think we have other more fantasy related races (eg. dwarves) so i suggest finalizing those first and if they are in than we can move to lesser "basic" races.

I think that insects might fit partially other races (some might be good for elves, orcs and undeads).

A race made of insects might be good for the age of ufo variant tough

I somehow agree with everyone
That could be cool for campaign
I also agree with fact that before adding new races we should concentrate on scaledfolks and dwarfes
And yes that race could fit more into AOU the problem is in AOU there are insectoids not insects
I don't really want to decide by myself So I suggest vote

I will find evidence for insects races from another fantasy universe.
The great search begins

Just out of curiosity, what is left to be done with Dwarves? I remember a long time ago we went through all the basic things that the dwarves needed and made images/stats for most everything?

Probably a massive block of developer time. We're probably looking at 20-30 units/buildings to set up, with sounds, technologies, and adjusting the game to include a new race option. Even if it is all sitting neatly organized on Daniel's computer, ready to compile, this is still a task that would take a while.

True, I didn’t really consider how massive a project that is on Daniel’s end as well lol

I think at insects as more sci fi race.
Not as fantasy.
(Resembling to insect race in Age of Ufo)

Except having the giants and the copy of basic infantry, what else could add to work well as own race and to have some originality.?
We mustn't use MTG race names!
Thy gave me a sword to pierce a lie,
Serrated edge for the deamon inside
A moment I'm torn between two tides,
But all I need, I bear inside
