Amos, I'm surprised to see you have the scarabs (with flavor texxt saying they are siegers) castledefbonus and no siegebonus. Is this your intention or a small mistake?

On Insects in dom 3000

PS for my mod I think I'll remove the worshippers again, make the males the spaceflyers (but since they are a lil race the queen also gets a summon2 command) and I've given the nest females wings too so they can lead those males in space. All other troops get a cocoon (rear end of queen) spaceform. The soldier has gotten a corrosive acid attack and the Dreadnaught will probably get a more powerfull ranged attack.
The teleport spells have been disabled since they don't fit with traveling through space.

I'm also thinking about implementing the idea of mkire to let queens generate slaves and use leper to kill off pop (having 2% of the troops get afflictions might not be that bad and could be countered by either upping some stats or giving more options to create troops or just give some or all troops the #heal ability)

The fact all units are holy is nice.. but it also means that you sort of need to play it with a bless (or just loose a lot of potential for the nation).

PS amos on those scarabs why are they leaders and why only summon 1?

basicly even with siegebonus of 3 they are not worth summoning even for sieges I think. better to make them a trooper and summon 5-10 of them with a higher siegebonus so they will actually have an impact on siege time.

The scarabs have #copystats 748 (Siege Engineer) so its a bug. I'll remove the copystats and add siege bonus. Should probably also report it as a bug.

The scarabs are leaders so that they are able to travel independently. You summon only one because they have (or should have) the high siege bonus of 25.

I just checked and it works as intended with copystats. I have no idea why you didnt get the siege bonus. But its not a problem since we have the #siegebonus. So, I removed the copystats and uploaded the new version to the top of the thread.
