Colonization: Alien Thread

Colonization

"The Brood Has Awakened."

Those ominous words echo through the many caverns your kind rest in. They rise, and suck in the atmosphere, receiving information from their queens. Xenos have landed on this planet, and they must be exterminated.

They never expected us. We were hiding in the forest, and ambushed them. We lost 30 or so soldiers, but killed 5 of the Xenos. One of the Workers nearby grabbed one of their bodies, and ripped it apart, transmitting the information to the Hivemind. They appear to be weak, and fleshy, but have some kind of Technology that lets them strike us down from far away. Their chests and heads appear to be much harder then the rest of their bodies, but the neck is fleshy, and exposed. They are no match for our Soldiers in close combat, and we can strike them down with Ease. They shall all perish, and we will rule this world again.

You have basic information on human anatomy, except you believe that armor is actually part of their bodies. You do have technology, but it is not powerful at all, bronze age mostly. The Queens are intelligent, and can Absorb human technology to learn about it.

Hooray!

Okay i think we should start by hiding our tracks wherever possible and extending tunnels into the direction that we saw them go.

Also breed more soldiers.


EDIT: can we have a basic overview of the Hive?

I suggest we tried aqquire a smapple of these long range weaponary to find ways to protect ourself against them. Also set out small patrol to find the boundary of the intruder control(assuming that alien know the terraian) then maybe we can start burrow contruction around the perimeter for ease of access

Let also move some worker and soldier from nest on the other side of the planet closer to the front line. Also have a few hundred soldier escort some worker to construct a nest closer to the xeno. This is for out post purpose and no queen shall go up to it maybe we can start moving queens closer together? So if the recovery mission suceed we can try create counter type of soldier ?

The Hivemind is a sentient link between all the Queens, and the Queens and all their children.

The Hives are many, many separate caverns all over the planet, connected by small tunnels. These gigantic caverns house thousands of Aliens, and dozens of queens. The Xenos actually landed in one of the only parts of the planet with no close hive. The nearest one is a few days march away from the Xeno ship.

Expand the tunnels. first surround them with collapsible tunnels so as to hinder expansion and then expand and base A hive directly under them with entrances/exits reasonable far away so they don't suspect.

+1 Plus more Soldiers being bred. were going to need to start small scale raids against there patrols to keep them off balance.

I'd also say attack there trucks but i doubt we know about those...yet.

Our attacks should be in the opposite direction from our hive building efforts to draw them off.
How do you know about their trucks?

This can certainly be incorporated into the initial plan.

Definitely we can break through their camps and cause as much death as possible. Bringing back some bodies where possible.

I guess your right the Xionic Technology in question should be brought back so our Queens/workers can understand them. Hopefully we can level the field..

The good news is according to the hub choice while they have a higher tech level their entire population is the same as just our soldiers.

True but 30 soldiers to 5 of theirs is quite the inconvenient scenario. Especially since there were survivors and there grouped up now. We need to find out more and for that we NEED more bodies and technology through night raids against there patrols.
