still balancing him out.

Antmen have agggression 1 (balanced) while probes have aggression 2. All antmen have psi attack but is really weak soldier has psi 10. Probes are also really high TU and weak ish . So the idea is probes find you and Antmen will just stay behind and psi attack you. They don't really engage much in open combat unless they have to.
Here is my idea. Antmen don't have a leader , commander or specific roles. They are all soldier rank. The only difference is you get Psi-focus and or battle focused. Generic is tough and weak psi. Leader/commander is soldier with tougher psi but weaker armor. Support roles like engineer or medic are filled up by terror units.

Antmen just employ drones and other terror units to fill their ranks. They are unable to be better than each they as they are all equal. They simply focus on psi or on combat. That's it. Psi focused antman is commander/leader but is essentially weaker /higher psi antman soldier.
Kudos on the progress, but I feel that the previous colours (reddish and orange) looked much nicer, more vivid. This one looks uniformly brown.
thanks
they gonna look orange ish. this is just a test. and i do wanna make their ufopaedia more beefed up and frontal Gallop style
An interesting idea, though they'd need their own special missions for this. Maybe instead make a special alien base mission, just for them?
yeah that would be cool. for now i am still trying to make the sprites work decently. is good enough but i want perfect
Nice little critters!
But may I suggest Hunter-seeker instead of Probe? That name fit better for a quick, sniping droid. Probe suggest an unarmed exploring device.
Also really interested by the Antman autopsy. Nice creature, just a bit bulky. The pedia picture suggest a slender thing instead of a bulky, big head. I assume you shall explain it with a caste-based hive society where the worker showed on the picture but the player encounter with the warrior caste.
And they really deserve a new craft with alien garden interrior... Hiveship mayhaps?
hive mind for sure. would be really cool to have a hive/insect type ship/base. maybe a base.
Hunter-Seeker sounds fine! I like it. Probe does have a melee stun attack but mostly uses ranged. Ufopedia is gonna change i want them more beefed up frontal. Also probe is pretty generic quick pick name for lack of a better one.
