Insects — ARCHIVED

[General Brave]

You have a mantis? Seems you already thought of this before even thinking about it.

[Dagravian]

That one i did put on discord these days... I mean this one.

[General Brave]

Well a few changes will make it look like a mantis and can be use perhaps as a Siege unit.

[Dagravian]

I made in reference of this, but you are right, its base can be used by us to make many more creatures.

[General Brave]

Okay, seems it's good so far.

[Dagravian]

Maybe by adding 2 extra legs on the back, re-shape the head, change the frontal legs to arms, it could became a spider queen or something like that.

[General Brave]

That's a perfect idea.

[Savra]

Well they said no siege for Insects so this could be a giant unit for Insects that s good at taking out e.g. Infantry and cav. Whereas the spiders could be good at taking out air and climbing over walls, they don't need siege based bonuses in order to be siege style units. btw the mantis needs team color and it will be set to be added as one of the bugs

[General Brave]

The spiders can have the abilities to climb mountains.

[Savra]

That could work, and would be very useful.

[General Brave]

The spider people can be expert at making traps also.

[Savra]

Wait spider people? I think they could be more like specialty builders that can make the Spider den, web wall, traps as you said and the such while worker ants can build a nest, burrow, colony, outpost (outpost). The worker bee could be like a money courier, worker mix and build the hive, swarm nest (tower), wasp nest. (we could make wasps be their elite units since they don't have siege available they could have flying elite units I guess.)
What you think?

[Savra]

You mean these spider people? Theres scorpion ones too.

[General Brave]

Well maybe not like that but I don't know.

[Savra]

Here's a really good one though.https://orig00.deviantart.net/ed85/f/20 ... 8xlxje.png

[Savra]

Btw I still think scorpions should be their cav.

[General Brave]

I would suggest that, but maybe less ugly.

Guys.
Arahnids (half spiders half humans) are a part of beastclans.

[General Brave]

That's why I'm saying not half humans, these spiders simply are biped.

[Dagravian]

Guys.
Arahnids (half spiders half humans) are a part of beastclans.

Anything with body divided into three tagmas (head, thorax and abdomen), is an insects, so definelly not fits in beastclans... if anything with fur would be put in beastclans, it would be the biggest faction by a wide margin... So nop. They are not part of beastclans. Insects are insects, animals are animals... Let it be this way.

[Lynx Shafir]

Beastman are beast, monsters mixed breed animals and half humanoid half animal creatures (eg, lionman, volpa, AND arachnids too )
arachnids have 2 body part half is human : p

If u want to keep insect race make it have only insectoids and giants insects
Not humanoid insects pls.
Its different from insectoids is more mitycal beast.

Better let them to Beastclans

[Dagravian]

Having humanoid aspects don't make them having less insect ones. If is an insect, it doesn't fit on beastclans at all. As i said, insects are insects, animals are animals, Man>beast is one thing, Man>Insect is another, why u want to mix things that don't relate to the faction? If u want that way, then remove centaurs from elfs to begin...

[makazuwr32]

Centaurs live in the woods and allies of elves.
Beastclans on the other hand are wilder and enemies for nearly everyone.
Also beastclans are just humanoid beasts exalted from other races. Not only half animals half humans but also half fishes, half spiders, half snakes (i want to put there medusas)

[Dagravian]

I really can't see any insect like creature in beastclans when u could have all those that had already being suggested on its topic..

[General Brave]

We might have to separate the insects from the BeastClan, unless they are two very different things.

[makazuwr32]

And i can.
Also these ones whom i want to see (arahnids, half spiders, half humans) in beastclans are not really insects. They are halfbreed or half insects only.

[General Brave]

So we can agreed the insects will be full on insects. So the half insects can go with the Beast Clans.

[Tankhead]

That's werid, half insects half human seems really unfitting for beastclan. Seems more of a mystical being unit than anything

[General Brave]

Well your guys have to pick it out.

[Tankhead]

Humanoid insects don't belong with either
