Nidus Worm IMPLEMENTED

Post by Badnorth »

Nidus Worm. A large insectoid beast that burrows to gain movement and surfaces to release Locust Swarms. Locusts are insects with sharp mandibles that can tear through flesh. When the Nidus worm surfaced, it cannot move and has no armor or attack. Can only spawn Locusts as an active ability per turn. Basically a Nidus Worm from starcraft 2 zergs. It's main function is to spawn locusts near enemy lines.

Locust Question 3 or 2? Are their sizes roughly the same as those of the spiders in the mother of spiders?

I think the locust is meant to be more like the flies swarm we have in game.

Actually, I think we can just take the image of locust from AoA.

Maybe we could call it a "swarm worm" or smt, to avoid association with StarCraft.

Now that I did some reaserch, they are called nydus in starcraft, and nidus means a place where bacteria multiplies (basically its a real word that fits the unit somewhat - I assumed it didnt actually mean anything) so maybe we stick with that.
