The Queen

[Kaelron]

Hello Developers,

First and formost I want to say how much I have enjoyed the past several hours of EotU gameplay! Just a quick question, is there plans in the future to be able to move the queen to a different chamber?

Probably not in the campaign mode, since she takes the place of the "Dungeon Heart" (we are big Dungeon Keeper fans) and the fast pace of the campaign would cause pathing and job issues with the workers (pathfinding is quite an expensive task for the processor to perform, and if the queen is moving the workers will have to re-path much more frequently to finder her to get eggs, etc).

However, freeplay mode has a lot more room for this kind of thing. It will be a slower pace, so the pathing issues won't be as urgent. There's a good chance we'll allow the queen to move to some extent in freeplay (eventually).

maybe in the formicarium that would be cool

The queen is not something that normal moves around.

Just make that when queen is moving, she cant hatch any new eggs.

Ant hives with a single queen can't move there queen or she can't move by her own power that is. unless we are talking about the ents who have many queens in one hive they tend to be less "fat" and moves around.

i have seen many queen ant moving around and it doesnt work like that .when ants find a new safe location the qeen moves there but there are also species that the qeen goes and feeds from the pray the workers found by her self like pharaoh ants

thats not completly true. I am an ant enthusiast and i have a fully mature pet fire ant colony and a few more and the queens move from chamber to chamber alot.

But With that said this is an awsome game thank you.

Let me ask another way : is it a plan in the future where you take away that mechanics where some few % ( in some lv i se upp to 70-80% of the enemy who ignore al of my units) of the enemy ignore al of my units and going straight ahead for my queen ?


The way i se it : I may think you do not need to make us be able to move the queen as long "None enemy in the game can or are able to ignore any units who doing attack on them, do that make any sense to you !

Nice game by the way ,-)
