in adventure mode, if i play as a hive-mind queen(wasp) am i able to lay wasp eggs?
and if not is there a way to make it so i can?...without it being severely broken?
I was kind of hoping to be able to embark as an adventurer,
go to a town,settlement,hamlet ,etc.
build a small..."hive" inside,outside or  around the town in adv.fort mode
then lay some eggs and start infecting the local towns people
 and expand the parasitoid hive outward and across the land like a cancerous paper mache tendril of DOOM...and paper

You might want to post wasp-related questions and suggestions directly in the topic for them, you will have much more chances that the people working on it and knowledgeable about it would see it and answer it.

The race being still under work, I doubt it could be done right away, but it should be possible to make it so that you infect people, and create companions that way.
Not exactly what you said, but adventure mode is really limited in what is possible, compared to fortress mode, especially in building and commanding people.

unfortunately, you can't. the spawn unit script won't run in adventure mode and even if it did the eggs would not be under your control (since adventurers can't have pets or cattle for the time being). they would not even be recruitable party members (since they aren't sentient). and even if you could, the egg hatching and the larva infecting someone takes several months in game, so you would die of boredom before you had your first wasp.

the closest I can think that could be done would be to give them an interaction similar to what necromancers use to raise zombies, but it would not be an an actual wasp, and more importantly it might also mess fortress (which is the main focus) mode pretty badly.
