I feel doubt. Maybe doing... this as a joke is a bit too much. More than the game could handle. But... What else could it be? To not be a boring repeat of a human one. I feel that, after all, that's the only option.

Ok, this is a mega building for reptilians. A giant fortress, research point for the stealable tech paths, and a factory in one. The name is up to discussion btw.
So what was that entire monologue at beginning about? That's normal right? Well when I asked about what should the reptilian mega building be like, the @Lynx Shafir suggested the it should be a giant egg. Yes, you read that right. A gigantic egg. Of metal, concrete, whatever the reptilians build from. With guns. But in a shape of giant egg.
Remember how I called the beginning monologue? That's not up to discussion.

For some reason I remembered the "Star of Death" from "Star Wars!"))

Well, i have no idea, but i might had seen something cool for it... Once i heard that reptilians in general do love heat (since they are cold blooded), they loved so much that once they reach a point that their population was so big on their planet that they didn't have ways to provide natural heat (eg: Mining magma from the planet's core) so the greed had made them set fire on their own planet... But that wasn't even enough for them, the remanescents build up gargantuan jets over the planet to orbit their own Sun as closest as possible, meinwhile, other reptilians had build spaceships to go elsewhere and find other places or sources to fill their greed for heat... So they can bring up their planet for it.

With that said, i think we could make many new things with that in mind, and for the mega building, i think we can start with,
- A resized volcano from AOF with structures and many pipes of magma... Something like the one seen in the star wars movie (forgot which one) that when Anakin faces Kenobi... I think that would be really cool main base for them.

I think that means the third movie of the prequels trilogy.

I'm not sure, i do always forget the order of the SW history... But i guess you understand what i mean right?

You mean Mustafar I think, it was in Revenge of the Siths so yeah thrid of prequel.

Well it's kinda tempting cause reptilians kinda are AoG orcs... But egg is tempting toooooo

I think I have an idea of how it could look, we can combine a metal plated mega egg structure in a molten lava base. It will look less out of place when it is implanted in the ground, and it will have cost efficient heating.

wat does this egg hatch btw? i know, it hatches into a giant robot that can move around and turns into egg again to produce units

That would be crazy. I can't give them that much advantage over other megas tho, and doing that for all races is definitely going too far. Let's just say it's and infinite egg and the things it haches are the units it produces xD.

Hi,
A first try on this strange idea.
its more of a rough concept then a finalised image tho.

patroid

awesome!

Hehe, a way too go. It's about good for a base to edit. One complaint - it don't quite like the "legs" it's standing on - if they are destroyed, the entire building will collapse, and it's not something we would like. I don't think I like the size too - how about 128×128? We can go a bit crazy, it's supposed to be a mega building.

This is my image idea.

Give a pool of lava in front, and a large mountain range at background, as if the egg has caved into the mountain side, and the lava flowing down in front from the sides of the mountains

Using the geothermal energy of lava to generate electricity and produce plasma is a fine idea

That sounds like a great idea.

This is my most current image. The shading should make it look like plates.

Optimized

It's been bothering me, how big is this image?
Also I want some weapons on it, and we can get those lava things added to it. Maybe some shielding, like we intended for human mega? So far, seems good for such a big image, it was probably a bunch of work. Seems a little lacking in detail, probably because of size. Perhaps adding the things I mentioned earlier would help with that.

2x2 in 64x64, so definitely 128x128 is the size. I definitely want to add geographic features.

I guess the size is ok. I will make it take two width and one height of tiles, so you can still build behind if like in AoF.

Image still needs work, but I think I can put it in.
For stats:
Hp: 600
Armors: 6/6/6 
Bonus mending when constructing: 2.5
Bonus mending: 3
Attack: 16 (same bonuses as laser turrent - that I just changed btw, 50% against big creatures and 100% against mechanical, and double its attack ) 
Actions: 3
Range: 2
Carry capacity: 4 (can carry infantry and vehicles) 
And I guess since I gave SAM ability for the human version this one can have an ability that would have range and damage AA turrent.

Hi,
I played around with the image for no real reason, maybe u can use something.

patroid

Well, I can't tell which one is the best. But that's not what we need here. To remind, this bad boi needs some guns (both against ground and AA), as well as some pipes with lava and maybe like a lava energy generator build in.

Team color, as well as an occupied image is a requirement. I will try it.

Your newly decorated egg is here.

I feel like those guns could be bigger. You can base them off the turrents' ones.
Also something still seems to be missing.

Better? @Midonik

Lower ones seem good

A whole month and 2 days later I added a few pixels... is this okay?
