Was the theme swarms? No? It was caverns? Apparently I thought it was swarms…<\/p>\n

I’m trying to make my space marines move and fight together as squads, and decided to use a few flocking algorithms. Now my space marines are swarms that don’t move like space marines. I’m thinking I might arbitrarily decide they’re flying drones, but at this point I’m not sure. If I’m lucky, I’ll at least implement cover so that you can make your swarm take cover. But right now I’m thinking my theme score is gonna be pretty low…<\/p>\n

Still, work is progressing. Going to add some progression elements soon.<\/p>\n
