Okay, let's aim for about 2m tall, heavily muscled, as agile as we can make 'em, give them rapid asexual reproduction, greatly enhanced senses, and a carapace similar to that of the mantis shrimp. Along with that we should aim for redundancy of necessary organs, and possibly a distributed central nervous system, to make them even more resilient to damage.
What do you guys think?
EDIT: I am of course talking about our soldier. If we have any willing hummies we can use a particularly nice specimen as the template, and then our soldiers also give us an exponential mana increase.
Um...as infantry? Sure, but let's figure out what our ranged attackers are going to be. They're kinda important...
Is that still the cniderian?
Ahaha, no. Firstly, cnidArian. Secondly, I was thinking of a laborer. Thirdly, that's...nothing like a cnidarian.
Something tells me you're not exactly a biology major...
I'd also like to do one or both of the following:
Make a tree which grows arrowlike thorns, and regrows them quickly. Later upgrades could include poison or something, but tons of free arrows is fine for now.
Have citizens search for skunks, bombardier beetles, spitting cobras, etc, for later transformation into troops/weapons/symbiotes.
