Insects — ARCHIVED

[Savra]

On ya did some more improvements to the any folk. Colony gaurd.

[General Brave]

They look better but I don't know about the grey faces.

[makazuwr32]

Personally i want to see only arahnids in beastclans. i don't care about other insectoid-like creatures.

Like with the Dev putting in the needs topic for voting?

[LordOfAles]

Yes

[Savra]

You can keep the arahnids but the insectoid are still having spiders because they are their giants since they can't have siege. (Although one siege based unit would not hurt if all it is, is a battering ram style unit.)
Insecticide could have spider folk who aren't their cav because we could just make scorpions be them. Are spider folk can be biped and can look a bit like ant folk because they are found in their colonys and were basically forced to join them, in other words they were enslaved because ant's can do that with another race of bug doesn't matter what it is if they can put a use to them. Remember that some of humanity's ideas came from watching ants. An example of some other bugs ants have are aphids and ant beetles. ants use aphids like cows and ant beetles are used as a awaiting but that ants feed their dead to and hide under to avoid things like wasps.

Those were supposed to be mandibles.

[General Brave]

Perhaps shaded a bit darker but either way it could work.

[Savra]

Ok btw how's this for the scorpianids/ scorpion folk?

[Savra]

Here's the antfolk with darker mandible I figured dark blue might help them stand out from the black.

[General Brave]

At least it's now bearable.

[General Brave]

Still just need a worker version.
Then we can talk about stats.

[Savra]

How's this for bee folk? For starters that is, and here's an antfolk worker.

[LordOfAles]

Where did you find all these images?

[General Brave]

He said he made them.

Also very like the bees.

[Tankhead]

Just wondering but wasn't demons and beastclan the first focus for new races and then all of a sudden someone re mentioned insects and somehow they got the most develop as far as being the next race in?
How did that happen?

[LordOfAles]

Some things are just meant to happen.

[Dagravian]

I think bcz it demands too much research to make those, i mean, for beastclans, we don't even chosen the main races that will be put in there and barely did something for it beside discussions... For demons there was all that thing of being sub faction of undeads and stuff, that makes ppl tired of trying something, also, isn't everyone that really knows how to work on them, i mean, to make drafts for it... For insects is another thing, it is apart all those problems (beside the arachno problems), you can have inspiration in nature, so it can flows really well...

[General Brave]

This is a far more older ideas, also it has images. It seems people are really putting effort..

[General Brave]

And maybe it's far simpler to make since we have things to use as reference.

[Savra]

Btw shouldn't Insectoids be strong in flying? It would make sense.

[Savra]

He said he made them.

Also very like the bees.

Thanks, should we just refers to bee folk as the hive and ant folk as the colony to make making them sound more intresting?

[Savra]

Here's a hive worker and some updated units.

[Savra]

Sorry protectors shadow didn't get saved on the gif here it is.

[Savra]

Should I give the bees something else in terms of armour like dragon fly armour? Or should I just leave it?

[General Brave]

Perhaps dragonflies can be used at some sort of calvary.

[Savra]

I thought dragonflies could be their dragons.
Btw how's this for one of their spiders. (Not spider folk)

[Savra]

And here's a web (wall) don't know if you want the different directions too but I'm assuming you might so I will try and work on them tomorrow.
