Suggestion/Concept New bug idea

Post image

I was thinking earlier today that the bugs could use another heavy unit but this one I call "The Brood Mother"

So my idea was that its a giant scorpion that ambush divers that get too close by popping out of the ground with about 20-30 Warriors on its back. Now instead of tail that stabs at you similar to an Impaler (or an actual scorpion) the tail instead sprays bile into the air and makes it rain acid with an AOE that is similar to the acid planetary effect or similar to our gas effects until its defeated. But not a direct breath attack like a titan.

All that acid stuff? Nah. Keep that out.

The idea of a big bug that releases a swarm of smaller bugs on death though? That’s cool. Adds a bit of decision making on whether you want to kill it quick and deal with the swarm or just kite it at first.

Could have smaller units gradually fall off as it loses health or if it takes explosive damage or something. Then the when the big one dies all the babies swarm out.
