Despite this, however, a Craver should be actively looking for fleets to attack for Science, and Systems to invade for FIDS in general.

Mid game might slow the Cravers down somewhat in terms of production, as planets begin to get depleted quicker than fresh planets can be claimed. To get the most out of the bonus period for each planet, focus on food and perform in-system colonization only when already colonized planets are population capped. Early game, LP bonuses can provide more than sufficient Industry to steadily pump out colony ships and military ships. No heed should be paid to other empires, as they cannot be allied with anyways. A player using Cravers should be focused exclusively on expansion.+40 added to the current research for each destroyed enemy Command Points on Empire.Īs Cravers, have your home planet not depleted at turn 80, without having lost your home system +25% FIDS for the first 40 LP, -25% after 60. +1 Locust Point (LP) per turn on each colonized planet. Prey that can fight back, but prey nonetheless. As a matter of fact, should the Cravers cease expanding, they will deplete whatever resources they control, and the society might consume itself. They only know war. The other races are merely prey. The concepts of diplomacy, peace, or mercy mean nothing to them.

Reproduction is accomplished through not one, but multiple queens. The lowest ranks are not capable of independent thought: that is reserved for higher subtypes like the 'Bishop' level. To a certain degree, the Cravers rely on pheromones to communicate. Somewhat like the ants and bees of Earth, they are biologically divided into different subtypes. The Cravers live in a colony, a superorganism. The hive, at long last, could begin truly feeding. The insectoid race rebuilt its 'civilization' and eventually learned to become a space faring race. However, the war with the Concrete eliminated the Virtuals before the Virtuals were able to eliminate the Cravers. They would swarm the enemy and use any available resources to feed the hive, replenishing their numbers and strength.īefore long, the Virtuals realized the threat this new race posed to the galaxy, so they marooned them onto an isolated planet and then bombed the surface in an attempt to eliminate them. The Cravers were created by the Virtual Endless to use as a weapon against the Concrete Endless.
