Hello and Welcome back to Project Aulds Blog this week we're going to discuss the other two nations which will feature in our game designed by both Ryan and Thomas,
The Swarm (Ryan) :
Overview :
The Swarm is an Insectoid Nation made up of several sub-species all branching from the Queen, the Queen controls The Swarm via telepathic mind waves. The Swarm benefits from it's massive population making warfare and colonization very easy as they are never short on 'volunteers' also the multiple sub-species which are present within The Swarm make there army incredibly diverse allowing them to combat any adversary and prepare for any situation that may arise within the vast expanse that is space.
The Queen rules for hundreds of years and in some cases the Queen can rule for a millennia, before the Queen dies she spawns a unique sub-species which we'll refer to as the Princess, the Princess will then devour the Queen and take her place upon the theoretical throne having established her dominance and psychic connection with her Swarm.
The Swarm is somewhat of a mystery the true intelligence of the Queen is unknown only that she controls her Swarm with the main objective being to colonize every possible planet that they happen to come across as well as to devour any raw materials which might then benefit the population as a whole. All should beware as the Swarm consumes all!
Inspiration :
The Swarm was inspired by multiple movies and games primarily being Starship Troopers (The Movie) and The Tyranids from the miniature game Warhammer.
The whole Psychic insect swarm is a theme that appears in both of the affore mentioned races which appear in Starship Troopers and Warhammer and it was something i was happy to improvise upon and create my own unique version.

True Cyclops (Thomas) :
Overview :
The True Cyclopes is a clan located on an abandoned planet called the Eye. All the population is forced to obey the Generals commands. The General of the clan is Big Daddy, their technology is very advanced and everyone must wear a suit of armor that gives them advantages such as weapons and armor. The clan communicates with the General through radio signals from the suit. When ever the General dies in battle a new one must declared, most likely the second most powerful cyclope on the clan.
The general is chosen after a batlle to the death between the challengers, that are chosen from the people into an arena.The winner of the battle is said to create chaos in the universe by conquering planets and civilizations. They plan on gathering all the resources from the planets to become more powerful. Since they have advanced technology they are able to destroy every enemy with ease and gather all the resources.
When it comes to gameplay this clan is all about attacking and damaging the enemies shields
constantly through out the game.

Inspiration :
The idea came from the character Cyclopes from the marvel series which has one eye that shoots lazer and also the old mythology creature that is powerful but unintelligent. Basically its a combination of these two characters/creatures but it is also a unique version of my own.
