I generated speech lines using OpenAI GPT. If you find any weird dialogue, please report in the comment.

I also added a skill tree. It’s a work in progress. Will gradually add more skills, refine FX, balance, etc.

Tokens

In short, they are used to control how many minions of each type you want to summon.

There are 6 types of Tokens, each tied to a Metapis:

• Soldier/Mimic Token: unlocked from the start.
• Moonguard Token: unlocked with Moonguard Hive.
• Voltwing Token: unlocked with Voltwing Hive.
• Mutant Token: unlocked with Mutant Hive.
• Shadow Token: unlocked with Shadow Hive.
• Alchemist Token: unlocked with Alchemist Hive.

When the Mother Hive reaches Level 3, it unlocks a container with 6 slots.
You can insert Tokens to control the types of Metapises you summon:

• One token = 1 out of 6 minions will be that type.
• One empty slot = 1 out of 6 minions will be randomized among available types.

Examples:

1. Built Moonguard, Shadow, and Alchemist Hives. Slots: Moonguard x2, Shadow x2, empty x2.
   • For every 6 minions: 2 Moonguards, 2 Shadows, 2 random (Moonguard/Shadow/Alchemist).
2. Built Moonguard, Shadow, and Alchemist Hives. Slots: Shadow x6.
   • All summoned minions are Shadows.
