mixed broods(race) question for current modding project.
« on: August 13, 2008, 09:07:31 pm »

I'm working on my first ever Race modding project currently, and of course, as a modding noob, I've hit a few snags along the way.

Ive currently have a race of Gaunts creating cities of Dark fortresses throughout savannas and grasslands while being led by a Hive Tyrant and/or a Carnifex (sometimes a demon as it shares the [POWER] tag).

My main question right now is, how do I get other broods to intermingle with the Gaunt brood short of using [BABYSNATCHER]?

I really love reading about the assaults on human and elf cities but it would be nice to see other Tyranid broods joining the fight.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You can't, really. If they take over a city and enslave its population the enslaved race can join in the fight on the gaunts side, but that's about it.

Ok thanks, so I'll place in [BABYSNATCHER] and see what happens.

Sadly, they'll probably be outbred and eventually extincted by their captives.

That I don't mind as the Gaunt brood(Termagaunts & Hormagaunts) would be out bred as they are the cannon-fodder of the whole species.

even though.. I am equalizing it that the Gaunts have a shorter life spans and are much weaker but breed a little more.
