I definitely appreciate everything you’ve been doing for Monpoc too, Mike! You make me look forward to Mondays!

It is good to see the Savage Swarm continue the feel of the Destroyer Agenda, bot the factions seem to be a very aggressive, with emphasis in the Planet Eaters of the boosts and self destructive nature and Savage Swarm emphasis on the ability to mobilise and manoeuvre their units.

My question to Mike is to whether he would rank the Destroyer Agenda as the most aggressive Agenda?? Are Factions designed to develop their own playstyle or to an Agenda Playstyle (perhaps with an added twist)??

My last post I made was all excited speculation and gushing with excitement. So now I will post some real questions?

I would really like to be able to bring out more units at the start of a turn and get the feeling I am swarming the board. Will either of these units have nesting or cargo (with the hope for a monster or unit with transport now or down the line)?

Concerning the fluff on the units there is mention that the ants are slow (hopefully not a movement of 3). The elite has a flicking stripe that seems to speed up the grunts. Are we finally going to see coordinate on a unit? Or is the elite sporting command? Also are all of the dire ants getting gang or just the elite?

You mentioned the character units way back early January and it was the Warlord Rifa (who looks to be sporting motivator or synchronized move on a brawl). I know you most likely will not answer questions concerning their stats. But I do have one question you may answer: How many character units can be in a force, is it 5 like any unit or limited to 1 like the government building or monument?

Thanks for the post every Monday to keep the fires burning for Monsterpocalypse until April.

Also gotta know more details on the new unit boost stats. I expect the beetle to be speed 5/def 3 with burrow which would make it more useful in general than the speed 6/def2/no movement d-mite. Gang isn’t that impressive on a 1*0 brawler (Which seems likely) but it sounds like they’ll pack Coordinate on the elite. That’d make up for it and they’ll be brutal in large numbers. If charge is blue on the Beetle and the ants do indeed have Coordinate we might have the first zerg-rush capable army EVER. 1 a-dice to move 6 units. Dear lord, I hope so. Sounds like they got low speed though?

The wasp seems cool. Destroyers with a fast, mobile flyer monster! You can always get your super damage using Chompers with a little work (Synchronized move will definitely help. Mini turns brawling buildings and hit-and-run/sync moving units into place?) so this isn’t a monster we can discount on the grounds of “1 damage only!”
