Default Re: [beginner] a Zerg nation ?

There's already one nation that uses insects spwaning other insects. I don't remember all the details, but it has:

- mobile queens that shapechange (permanently) into immobile, magically more powerful, auto-spawning queens
- blood-based summon spells get you more queens (the mobile ones)
- new "races" (fliers, amphibian etc) come from researching a new kind of a queen summon, who is then morphed into a "building" and starts auto-swapning.


I think the different queens also had different magics, and thus could summon their own spawn via blood spells easily, but had trouble summoning other specialized types.
