(This is what I get for falling asleep in the middle of finishing my internet things.)
I'd like to mention an observation I had. These things appear to be WHITE. The thing that attacked us was RED. We, and the Spawner we Captured are BLACK. It's possible that the teams are divided by color, and we changed from Blue to Black. I think these things are fair game, unless they start talking or running.
I don't think that's quite right; the tongue things were mostly light gray with orange tongues, the humanoids were mostly dark gray with orange eyes, the tentacle flier was light gray with slightly orange top, and the spawner was light gray (before we turned it). If the colors really do automatically mean allegiance to whichever forces, then we're working with mixed company, and "white" has a messenger in the form of the flier alerting who/what controls it about our taking the spawner, if they don't already know.
Going by color, we should be able to ally with the humanoids, but we already hit then by accident and that might really matter.
(I'm going to put some of my edit material here instead.)
Template Naming: A to Floorface, B to Jamface (I momentarily considered Pokerface, but that belongs to something much better), and C to Sharpface.
I would prefer to name the others after we see their exact stats.
Edit: I apparently completely missed something; we didn't actually save any of the other templates than Sharpface, did we?
I also completely missed that
eye colour could be a part of allegiance too; we and our units are dark-gray/black with blue eyes, but the light-gray and humanoid forces all have orange eyes.
