Antinium Playable Race
Adds a new playable race based on the Antinium from the Wandering Inn web serial by pirateaba[wanderinginn.com]
Includes a player faction, starting scenario and two AI factions.
Antinium are a hive species that resembles giant ants. This is a difficult, low-tech start.
Antinium are good at melee, and have a lot of natural armor. They’re also good at mining, construction, and butchery. They’re bad at ranged combat, farming, animal taming, and cooking – Antinium can safely eat raw or rotten food, so their cooks don’t always know what isn’t safe for other species to eat (lots of food poisoning if an Antinium cook is feeding a non-Antinium colony).
Antinium like eating insect meat and are less bothered by cannibalism or mistreating prisoners, but more bothered if someone close to them dies. They really hate being wet. Antinium have many other preferences that may seem strange to humans; it may be difficult to integrate outsiders into an established hive.
Note: This is a work in progress. More features are planned, and please tell me if you run into any issues
Any faction can get a hive queen. Minimum colony population is 7, with at least 4 colonists being Antinium. She won’t spawn in the first year.
She will need a LOT of food and resources, especially as a larva. She’ll eat as much as 2-3 adults in the first quadrum (this will calm down as she matures). If you won’t be able to feed her, deconstruct the egg and wait for a new spawn.
Use Melee Hunting. Not required, but very highly recommended
