Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): When I see the Ancient empress I see nothing more than a inferior crusher. I think we should all buff the Ancient Empress because of how long it takes to get one, and the unique-ness of it. I propose we add a all-white sprite for her, and make her armor value insanely high, but give her a speed-nerf. Along with this the Empress will get a new ability that is passive-ish. its called the Pandemic Scream, which will give all xenos in the vicinity around her (5x5 tiles) a heal and some other benefit if you want. The heal would be minor, like 60 points and have a recharge time of 90 seconds. The fact that she is slower means she is more vulnerable to robust SADAR users and AP marines, meaning her Praetorian's will have to actually guard her. AND ONE LAST THING, when the Elite Empress evolves to Ancient Empress, this song plays for Xenos

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Give the Ancient Empress the power she rightfully deserves.

Re: Ancient Empress buff
Heavy -1. Having a buff to armor or anything as a whole is a big no-no from me as she's already able to take a LOOOOT of damage as a whole.
Nerf to speed is an increasingly bigger -1 as I've supported queen being faster.
The pheromones is also a no from me, but if you made a new pheromone that worked like all 3 mixed up with lower effect but stacking I'd be in.
Overall, I'll stick to -1 though moozic was nice \o7

CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Re: Ancient Empress buff
Empresses are huge, no less the Ancient ones. It would make sense to make them better in CQC but nerf their speed abilities, this would give Praes and aliens an actual job to do when it comes to protecting the Empress.Sarah_U. wrote:Heavy -1.

Re: Ancient Empress buff
I'd support a health buff (I was the queen that got sadar'd) or an armour buff (very slight for both of those) but they're already really powerful. I ate fistfulls of bullets and kept at around half hp while 1 hit slashing heads, doesn't need a ton of extra abilities :P

Re: Ancient Empress buff
The ancient empress is retardedly powerful. She doesn't need a buff.
