An attempt was made at that, but it didn't take for some reason.

I guess Polyhedra, Goddess of the Dice was not kind to the Hive.

So, given the winds of favor on the board so far I'm going to say upgrade the Heavy Soldier towards fertility and introduce more S-caste elements into the Hive; perhaps we can get some proper Predators out of the arrangements and maybe some other nasty combat forms yet to be devised (Giant Burrowing Predators, Spiny Flying Predators, etc).

Also, is it possible to determine if the Uplifted Chimps (and maybe by proxy the Humans) brains are compatible with psychic manipulation by the Flowers? As in, the controlling link that the Flower has over the Kaibrid, is something similar or related possible with either of them?

Edit: Yes, I like this idea. We will upgrade the Heavy Soldier into a monstrously Heavy, Fertile Soldier; A Kai worthy of the title of Hive Tyrant and worthy of being Our mate. One who will produce nice, heavy offspring capable of really showing the bipedals a FUN time.

WW2 games where there is no Axis campaign

Because y'know, nazis were bad and all. But what if I want to play the bad guy? what if I want to experience WW Deux in the boots of a sauerkraut-munching, beer-swilling, swastika-hailing deutchesoldat? The possibilities of creating deep, intricate stories about morality, human nature and the dangers of extremism practically write themselves. It would really  advance games as an art and as a medium for storytelling.

but no, the risks are too high and nobody has the balls to wade this deep into the dark side of the pool.

Game designers are too scared to make something good, with morals and a GOOD storyline.

Cautiously examine the cell. This one and the next few. Does it look like there are any soon-to-be-dead people or already-dead ones in them?

Good luck, man!
