@OfWindAndRain Alright, welcome aboard. I was hoping datadogie would post but i pmed him some ideas and he flaked off.
The zerg could provide an interesting challenge. They dont seem to quite fit the Culture definition of hegemonizing swarm, and they had better hope they dont fit that definition.
Heres an Idea I play a few starships from The Culture (or something like it), and attempt to peacefully integrate every other species.
Including the Zerg.
hrmmm now to decide on my nation, any other tier 1 or 2 civs yet?
@Luna_Maria
That, or the Zerg could somehow play it off that they came from the Zenohunt gods, though this would be harder to do however would yield the Zerg a powerful, loyal ally, until Zenohunts found the truth out somehow or didn't start to believe the Overmind any more.
Zenohunts are very religious, if something threatens their beliefs they will seek to remove it. He could use this to his advantage, if you wanted to say he had spies of some kind that knew about the Zenohunts, to get them to work alongside or under him.
